Liliya had come instead of hosting a dinner for her birthday because this was preferably to reminding herself that yet again, another birthday had happened. As though it actually changed her at all. As though she had aged a single day since Maureen had drained her blood. Please, all that had changed was her experience and that was not even all that noteworthy if you thought about it. Which she had spent most of the day doing. When she was not tossing her various gifts and cards into the garbage. There was not a single one that she wanted to keep because no one worth noting had sent them. Glancing over at Naoki - for whatever reason he had insisted on coming until Liliya had decided it was easier to bring him than leave him at home - she flashed, 'Come along then if you're still intent on this.' Rising, Liliya followed along behind Elizaveta, knowing that going behind Via would have been a terrible idea. It was already difficult enough to be in the same room without so much as looking at her.
Her eyebrow did arch at the dig towards Via and she felt herself tensing ever so slightly. That was not necessary at all. Though she had known that Via was a model she had not known that she worked for Whisper Charlton. Which was, in her mind, impressive. Though perhaps it might be an abusive job if that slight dig was any remark. As she took her dress she cast a glance over at Via before turning towards Naoki. 'Step outside until we've changed.' Sometimes Liliya forgot whether or not he had happened to see her without her clothes on or not, but she knew that he had not seen the others and she most definitely did not want him seeing Via. It did take her a little longer than the others to get into her dress but once she had she had to admit that it actually looked nice on her. Turning to study her reflection in the mirror she even flashed herself a fanged smile, tugging at one of her curls before leaning out into the hall to motion Naoki back. She still did not understand why he had wanted to come along when he was not even going to get to have anything to do? Maybe it had something to do with her birthday or him wanting to be there for her. Liliya sighed mentally and tugged at the wrap around her neck. It was rather snug. 'Going to tell me that I'm beautiful?' Her eyes did not flick at Via. Maybe a little, but then they went to where Whisper was as well. Had to hand it to the woman for knowing what she was doing with clothes.
