After people have started dancing - Claire (ABC) and OPEN
The crunch of people in the Lux was a bit overwhelming for a wallflower like Gabriel. Mingling was a bit beyond him, and dancing was almost just as far out of his scope of abilities. While he knew quite a few people in this place, actually finding someone to talk to was more than a bit difficult. They all had their groups or had paired off which left Gabriel wandering a bit to try and find someone to talk to.
Approaching the young Claire was perhaps not the best idea, but if he avoided her, there was no way for him to really know her or visa versa. He'd gotten along with the other Claire after so long. Of course, this was before he'd screwed up, given them a reason to hate him, but... There was no point in him not trying.
He slipped in next to her quietly, drink in hand as his eyes scanned the floor with a soft smile on his face, "It's nice," Gabriel said gently, sparing her the briefest of glances before his eyes fell back onto the floor. "Seeing everyone so happy."
