It was no surprise that some of her guests would have chosen to find their own way. It certainly doesn't bother her.....as long as they arrive, she is content.
This particular guest she had not been sure of on that score. For all she thought the promise of the unknown would draw the ones she asked, Cold knew better than to assume for certain. When Hati entered, she was perfectly pleased, and not only because a dinner party would hardly be what it was with fewer guests. No, she is pleased with the way he enters, with what he says even if likely wasn't meant to be much of anything she was supposed to understand.
She understands more than most people would believe.
He receives a smile just as everyone else does, and he is the first she has to introduce herself to - though it probably isn't necessary. Names are just names sometimes.
"Welcome, and thank you for accepting my invitation. I'm Cold." She gestures towards the table and the glasses and bottles set on it. "Do help yourself to whatever you like."
