Dean's hands were shaking. He'd had a glass of wine, but Alejandro - a young Puerto Rican wizard from the States who'd been in art school with him and shared, on and off, his flat in New York - had plucked it out of his hands as a crowd had finally started coming through the gallery and looking things over. He'd thank him later, for now he was trying to focus on the fact that there was nothing to be nervous about.

Knowing that fact didn't really help.

He tugged at his tie - simple black, with a black suit - for what was probably the thousandth time already and took a breath before patting his friend on the shoulder and heading out into the crowd to shake hands and introduce himself. He could do this; he was almost sure.

When Stephen came to her side, she automatically gravitated towards him, leaning slightly towards his side. His hand at her back was a comfort. As it had always been, every moment spent with Stephen was as easy as breathing.

Grinning up at him with a certain amount of adoration that she didn't bother to hide, she commented, "You'll figure out the music. You've still got a little over a month yet." But then she directed her attention to Megan's questions.

"I'm great, really. I mean, it's been super busy, but I can't really complain. I've gotten so much done for the wedding, even though there's still a lot left. You should look for an invitation within the next few days," she notified the pretty blond.

Megan smiled at the thought of her little one at home. It wasn't like Diana was her child or anything, but right now, she decided she could be proud of her little pup. "I'm doing rather well, excited to be here, naturally." she said gazing around the gallery. "Diana is training well enough, we're down to one accident a week now!" she said. For what it was worth, it was some sort of accomplishment in her mind.

"Sounds you got a pretty good handle on things though." Megan said impressed. She couldn't imagine trying to throw a wedding in such a relatively short amount of time. "I'll be sure to watch the mail extra closely then." Megan noted.

"Okay, being here makes me want to know more about art." she finally admitted.

"Good to hear it, good name choice, again.. by the way."

It was still slightly strange to be with Stephanie in a way that was completely natural yet incredibly new. Had they not discovered this part of themselves they would be doing the exact same thing. He'd still linger near her, would even keep his hand on her back in the same fashion.

Of course now when a male walked by and eyed Stephanie his gaze was darker, sharper. He let the girls talk and then when he heard Megan's confession he lowered his gaze to her and smiled.

"Ask this one then, she's an artist... doing a mural for Ellie Cattermole's new daycare, actually."

When Stephen somewhat bragged about her recent endeavors, she blushed a bit. She wasn't certain that painting a mural qualified her to be an art expert by any means. Sure, she knew a lot about art. It was her passion...it was one of the most important things in her life. But she was not a trained artist, per say.

"I am, but I've never taken any formal classes," she amended, her tone modest, "Still...I guess I know more than the average person," she sounded almost a little uncertain. It wasn't that she lacked the confidence, but she hated to sound haughty.

"Of course, if there's a question you have that I can answer, I'd be more than happy to oblige," she shouldn't be nervous about it. Megan was a friend. But standing in this gallery...with all this fantastic art around her everywhere, it made her wonder if she was as good as the people that loved her thought she was. Still, Stephanie was firm in her beliefs.

Art was everything that she loved outside of the people that surrounded her. Of course the people would come first and foremost, but Stephanie Fawcett without art wasn't really Stephanie Fawcett at all.

Megan beamed at her friend. "How exciting! You must take pictures and show them to me. I bet it'll turn out wonderful, really." she said encouragingly.

"Come on you two, lets take a look at what Dean's put together." she said enthusiastically ready to move around a little bit. Megan was never one to sit still for very long, especially in social situations.

"Music's pretty good. Kind of a nice way to get rid of all the noise of people talking over one another." she said noticing that amidst all the people there was some music being played.
