“Pity,” Lucia sighed and shook her head, but maybe she’d be able to convince them to humor her later when they were potentially more at ease. “She already said no to posing,” she said sadly and knew she could probably give her the sad face to convince her, but it wasn’t necessary. She’d wait and see what happens. “Hey,” she snagged a passerby and handed them her phone. “Will you take a picture for us, please?” she asked then and they agreed, so they did a simple, albeit elegant pose. “Thank you,” she told them and pulled it up on her phone to see. “Aww, look at how cute we are,” she remarked, holding her phone out for the other two to see.
Evelyn pressed a kiss to Farid’ cheek as he questioned what he was smug about. “Accompanying two beautiful women to an event like this, and getting to be right in between us. Not many men gets that.” Of course, she’d easily have gone to the event alone too, or with just one of them, but she preferred it when both came with her. Got to show off her little family, and be the proud sire and progeny. She laughed and took the photo with the two, happy when the photo was taken so they could do other things. “Okay so, how about the two of you find somewhere we can relax, and I’ll go get us some drinks?”
Well, it was true. Not everyone got this lucky tonight. Initially, Farid declined to go tonight. But well, he was convinced after a while to go anyway. He saw plenty of silly costumes, now even more grateful he was wearing something normal. Just a black suit. Just how he dressed anyway. Remaining in between them for the photo, taking a look at it. Acceptable. “This doesn’t look like it has many options to relax.” he nodded towards the people, most on the dancefloor. “Let’s just find a table.” And hopefully far, far away from the dancefloor.
