starter for @in-yeon from a plot we talked about
_ .✰ ˏˋ LIAN XIN ˎˊ˗ Her smiles are carefully curated to elicit the correct reactions from those that she is speaking with. She does her best to soften the features of her, almost demure as she looks up from her lashes and speaks with confidence and assurance. Such looks often give her whatever desired effects that she has in mind and this moment is no exception to the rule.
Sae-byeok's father seemed very pleased with himself as he walked away and she waits until he is far enough away before she immediately drops her pleasant expression for one that is full of genuine disgust and annoyance. "Unbearable, isn't he?" She mutters quietly enough that the others around the two of them cannot hear but that he can still understand what it is that she's said. She hides these words behind the stem of champagne that she has pressed against vividly red tiers.
She couldn't really stand the father but the son? She had a soft spot for him in the rather closed off feelings that she keeps to herself. He's proven himself as good enough company that she considers them to be friends. Which is no small feat for the mortal, considering who and what she was. Though she bares no ill-will towards him. "I'm not sure how you can deal with being around him for more than a few minutes at a time....." she had only spoken to him in an attempt to liberate the other male from such a watchful and heavy gaze. "Do you think he'd notice if we left?" A playful jest, this decidedly light atmosphere a change from the buzz of self-importance that these charity events often brought to the surface.
