Isobel spotted the near bolting doe in the midst of her conversation with Obed and another party-goer; pressing a hand to Obed's forearm, she said a few words indicating she'd be right back, and then started to thread her way through the minimal crowd toward Alice's side. Her voluminous skirts made clearing a pathway easy.
"You made it! I was starting to think you wouldn't show." Isobel hooked her arm through Alice's; her own mask was set off-kilter, allowing her face to show. "Do you want to get some food? Or maybe some punch? Someone spiked it already, but I guess that shouldn't be too much of a surprise..." Even with a cup in her other hand, she patted Alice's arm as well as she could.
"I promise nothing weird has happened," Isobel offered in a lower tone, trying to be reassuring. She did not add the modifier yet.
