After her conversation with LJ and getting a quick hug from JP before he was moving on as well, Kitty moved to the side of the room to just stand back and watch. It appeared as though people were having a good time, and that was encouraging. Her own terrible time at home was just a memory now.
She couldn't help but keep glancing at Threnody and her orange-suited date with mild curiosity. If the pair didn't appear to be having so much fun she'd have gone over to chat and try to figure out who the masked man was.
Theresa walked in looking fabulous as usual, followed shorty after by Cessily. Kitty quietly admired the different ways people had dressed, lamenting not for the first time that JP only had eyes for the same gender she did. The next person to walk in had Kitty so excited that she just couldn't stay a wallflower anymore. "Ro!"
She threw her arms around Ororo's neck and gave the older woman a tight embrace. "I was beginning to wonder if you were ever coming back." The fact that Ororo had left without any explanation other than it was an important matter made Kitty worry often. Especially the more days that passed. "Welcome home. You've been missed."
