Early evening in the living room - Rey + OPEN
Rey arrived a little after eight and offered some champagne and a chocolate orange (a traditional British Christmas gift) to Dante. She had dressed up a bit and was wearing something appropriate to the theme: a dress with a white halter top, a drop waist, and a feathered skirt which she was clearly not used to sitting in. Her shoes were low kitten heels, and she wasn't used to walking in them either. (She also had a nice new coat.)
Rey settled on the sofa early on and stayed there for a while, reading the room and looking for a conversational partner who wouldn't require her to stand up and totter around on her unusually high heels; in fact she'd kicked them off and curled her legs up under her to one side. She probably could have sat jackknife in the skirt but she had been reminded better, so she didn't.
