The mixer was very well chaperoned, hosted at the hotel by Ms. Sheedy. There was a piano player for music, a buffet against one wall. There were tables for eating and talking, and a space set aside for dancing. Under Ms. Sheedy's beady eye.

Some of the Beloveds at the hotel had arrived early to help set up the room so even by the time it officially 'opened' at 6 pm there was a bit of a crowd of unmarried people.

	"It's the same as always," she said with a grin. "But there's quite a good turnover." She was teasing, of course. "Beloveds getting wed, new ones coming in..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, to replace those like you," she teased. "Just like clockwork." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah, but are they as handsome?" he teased back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed. "I would say yes. Maybe not so much as you, James. Mores the pity?" He was a married man, and a Beloved; the playful teasing was completely harmless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harmless yes, otherwise he wouldn't be doing it. He chuckled warmly. "Oh I'm sure you'll find someone, if not more so, then almost as handsome." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Perhaps," she said. "But I am not sure completely sure he returns that. I suspect he is just very friendly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She offered him a small smile. "A Mr. O'Sullivan, but I have not seen him in a while." She shrugged slowly. "I am enjoying LeChance even without a match," she said honestly. "It really is just a wonderful place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She grinned. "My novels are certainly benefiting from the inspiration." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, you're a writer, how excellent!" he enthused. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed. "I try anyway." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"In hope? Have you been published?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	penandpaper 2009-03-21 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	"I have, yes," she answered, grinning. "But it's really not that easy to keep getting published." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jameswarren 2009-03-21 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah, I see," he smiled back. "I hope to get some of my compositions into published sheet music someday." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh? I thank you Miss Mias, but I don't see what I've done to deserve your faith," he said, smiling easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James blushed furiously, but was secretly pleased. He was getting better at dealing with compliments, but it still felt unusual from time to time. "Thank you for saying so, you're very kind," he said softly. "Most of what I've been playing this evening has been other people's work though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
