Party Time! [Open]

[Elmira Medina]

"And if you want to know when you were a lady, it started back, oh, I'd say from the look of you, seventeen to eighteen years ago. The way I see it, being a lady isn't a state of being, it's simply a fact. It's not necessarily true for men, though. Hence, there are 'men', and there are 'gentlemen.'"

Elmira nodded as Adrian talked. She was a bit surprised by his somewhat formal speech. Well, perhaps formal wasn't the right word for it. He had a higher level of verbiage and diction that she was not quite accustomed to, and she was not sure if she should feel dumber for not being used to such interesting utilization of a grand sentence structure, or smarter because she was being included in this conversation.

"If you don't mind my asking, was there any particular reason for the party? Not that one's ever really needed, mind you,"

Now this was something to which she could easily respond. "I see a lot of 'end-of-the-summer' type of parties," she began, "But you don't really see many for starting school again. I mean, most people don't like school and it doesn't seem like there's something to celebrate, but I think it's cool to show you can still have fun sometimes, and I thought it would be a good way for me to get to know people, and for people to get to know me. It's more important for social things like this to happen in the beginning rather than the end, so we can start making friends and stuff sooner rather than later."

Adrian nodded in understanding as the girl explained herself. As she spoke, Adrian felt like he couldn't quite place her in a category. She was definitely cute, even if she was taller than he was, it wasn't a turnoff in any way. When she talked, she tended to talk quite a bit, but at the same time, it never got so bad it came off as annoying. After all, her point was a sound one: There's never a better way to get to know people than a good social event.

"I agree completely, Ms. Medina," Adrian began with a smile. "Is there ever a better way to get started on the right foot than a smashing social event like this? I, for one, think it's a great idea. Like you said, it's much better to do it sooner rather than later. Make enough friends, and there'll be no room for enemies, right?"

Adrian winked and grinned at the girl, and then checked his super-expensive looking, million dollar watch. He frowned somewhat as he saw the time, and when his eyes came up to meet the girl's again, he looked honestly crestfallen. "I'm truly sorry, my dear, but I should be off. It appears I've little more time left in my day for fun. However, I have your number here," he said, holding up one of the flyers, "and if I need any more information about the party, I'll be sure to get in touch with you. Until then," he shrugged, and smiled, extending a hand for a friendly handshake. "It was wonderful to meet you, and I can't wait for the party. If I don't show up on time, though, I will make damn sure that everything I promised you does, at the very least."

And with that, after the exchange of pleasantries with the girl, Adrian would give her one last grin, and make his way off, going the opposite direction Mathew went.
