Seo usually loved parties. The feeling she got being surrounded by people she knew, all celebrating joyously with wide smiles and gay laughter. Alas, her viewpoint of parties and banquents changed ever since the happenings in Ul'dah... not to mention she knew not a soul at this gathering. She had been invited by someone she knew, yes, but she could not find them for the life of her. All she could do now was cower in a corner and gently lap at her wine. She focused her sights on anyone and everyone, gazing like a bored child. At last, she found someone she couldn't tear her eyes away from.
A beautiful woman-- 'hem, one she assumed was beautiful --clad in a red silk that shined with every shift in movement. Simply from her attire was Seo intrigued, leaning slightly closer before finally moving from her corner. She approached slowly, examining the lady further whilst hiding behind the large bouquet. The more she gazed, the more she found herself drawn in. A hand lay gently upon her chest, her mouth slightly ajar and eyes wide with curiosity. There was something about this woman... A Hyur, perhaps? She had no visible ears from where Seo was standing. Maybe that meant Seo should introduce herself and get a closer look?
As if being given a wordless answer to both her queries, the two women's gazes met, with the white-haired woman brushing said locks behind her ear. Although it was more like a mother catching her spawn with their hand in the biscuit tin... Seo instinctively hid herself further before getting the courage to step out fully, hand still clasped over her heart. With every step, however, her other hand would join its sibling -- creating a look of anxious innocence for Seo. She stopped before the Hyuran, softly bowing her head and avoiding the other's eyes as she spoke. Gods, was she so anxious because she knew no one here...? "He-- llo..."
