Well, not<i>new</i>, but new to her, definitely. The smile on his face as he greeted her seemed to suck her right in, and her gaze lingered on him for a moment before she nodded after realising that he'd said something to her.<br/><br/>"It's nice to meet you," she told him, before following it up with a quick word of thanks when he got a glass for her and set it down on the counter. Her gaze briefly traveled to another blonde who'd made her appearance along with Danny, but had gone straight for the food. That seemed like a good idea, but if a toast was being made, then she definitely needed to get herself a drink first.<br/><br/>Carina, the other newcomer — thank goodness Val wasn't the only one — agreed to have a drink as well, and when she talked about wanting to get to know the other party people, Valerie couldn't help but chuckle softly. She seemed like a fun person already, simply radiating positive energy. That was what Val liked to surround herself with. Plus, she<i>was</i>known to party every now and then, so she considered finding a friend in the other newest addition. But there was plenty of time for that still.<br/><br/>Another man introduced himself as Ian, and Valerie returned his smile as well as a nod of thanks when he handed her one of the many beers he set out for people to help themselves. "Thank you. It's nice to meet you as well." She accepted the beer, though was still debating over what to have. Danny's mention of raising a glass for a toast sounded all too compelling and gave her an idea, but it wasn't one she knew if she could follow through with yet. "Actually..." Val faltered when Ian asked if it was beer she'd prefer, or something else.<br/><br/>"Hold on a sec." Rather than properly answer, she leaned over to peer into the fridge and found what she was looking for. A bottle of champagne. Beer was great, but on a night like this, champagne seemed more fitting. So, she pulled it out and waved the bottle around a bit as she shut the door to the fridge with her hip. "Well if we're having a toast for the newcomers—" she reached past Danny to grab the glass flute he'd left for her on the counter "—we should celebrate in style, don't you think?"<br/><br/>Val removed the foil, loosened the wire, and made sure the bottle was pointed away from the others till a pop could be heard and some of the champagne from the bottle bubbled over and spilled to the floor. Valerie quickly tried to catch some in the glass she was holding and smiled sheepishly at the others in the vicinity.<br/><br/>"I'll clean that up, I promise," she said, still chuckling as she handed the glass first to Carina, and then went to grab a few more, filling one or two halfway and then setting the bottle down in case the others wanted to help themselves. She then took her own glass and held it up for a moment. "Cheers." Then she took a sip, still pretty excited, but already beginning to feel the nerves calm down a bit thanks to a bit of liquid courage.
