Ophelia and Alexei
Ophelia nodded slightly at his statement. It was true that not everyone had a date but she was uncertain if she would be comfortable at this party even with a date. She wasn't good at social gatherings even if they had been expected of her since she was small. She glanced at Alexei and then to her hands thoughtfully.
"I should have worn gloves here." Because it was true. It would've given her another layer of protection against being touched and that would've made her life a bit easier honestly. She offered him a faint smile, attempting to be properly polite, and shrugged. "Are you going back inside soon?" Because she could probably manage to walk in with someone.
