Hearing her name, Leia looked up and to the side. Even with a slight heel on her shoes, the man beside her was certainly looming. Not that it ever bothered her. Oh no, Leia was quite good at making her presence felt despite it all. So while annoying, her height, or lack there of, never proved detrimental as she just had that sort of aura about her.
"Mister Kylo." Of course she knew who he was. Why would one go to a gala and not know who it was that was hosting it? Leia had done her homework. "Lovely evening that you've given people, good for a distraction." Though most of the people she had noticed she had not noticed on the network so there was a chance they might not know as much as others in regards to the weather. But given it was just tidal waves and blood rain yesterday, perhaps there wasn't too much to worry about.
