[attr="class","isratalk"] "Thank you." she accepts his compliment with a fitting smile. It helps to cover the slight disappointment when he misses her joke but she lets it slide. The woman is more used to it than not as her social capacity flits between someone well composed and capable to an awkward child that misses their mark more often than not. Besides, what he says about his night is much more interesting. Isra looks at him, a slight tilt to her head at the curiosity his answer piques. She stows it away for the moment, because he inquires something of her and Isra is, if nothing else a woman of tit for tat. The compulsion to let the conversation swing back and forth deriving from childhood habits and games. "Hmm..."Her eyes move back to her tea first when he mentions it, her head moves to face it again shortly after. It comes off almost like a puppet on a string being pulled at and following along reluctantly. "I don't mind crowds themselves." She wraps her hands around the cup a little more tightly, as if she were warming cold fingers against it. "People like me fade into crowds, we're just part of the background more than anything." A fact she often uses to her own advantage. "But tonight, is more a matter of experience." Reading and watching filled her head with information, experiencing gave it substance. It was no longer words on pages and pictures in her head that way, it was reality. It was touchable, tangible, believable. All the things her head played tricks on her about when it was just words in her brain. Her eyes narrow at the steam coming off her cup, considering the train of thought an unpleasant one. "The tea is just an extra." and with that she hopes to leave such a topic behind. A part of her knows that if he was curious enough to ask it of her in the first place however, she can expect further questions. "It sounds like your night hasn't exactly been fun, spend too much time on the wrong side of Lilycove and the city stops sparkling." it's a knowing smile that follows. She can't say she's surprised by his words, perhaps the fact he said them out loud but not what they were in the slightest. "No intention of enjoying the festivities for yourself? All business and no play is boring." She on the other hand, was wondering about the dance he mentioned and the fireworks. With a side of wondering what exactly he meant by business partners. Remiel Calcifet>> she probably hates the tea tbh[newclass=.isratalk b]color: #8e4e5d;[/newclass]
