Shri took Tyki's arm and smiled softly. Looking down so he wouldn't notice the veridian blush that painted her face, Shri almost ran into Dieter. Dieter laughed a bit and said playfully, "You want something, Shri?"<br/>Shri blushed deeper and giggled nervously, "No. Just nervous is all. You know how I get with new guys."<br/>Adele looked at Shri and laughed a bit stating, "You all ways said you wanted someone to be there, and you were jealous of Dieter and my relationship. You have a chance. Don't mess it up, sweetheart." She patted Shri's back in a comforting gesture as Shri let out a sigh.<br/>"At least I have friends who can tell me I'm feeling something," Shri laughed a bit. "So, tell me about yourself, Tyki. What's a hotshot like you doing at a ball like this?"
