Alicia grinned a bit at the complement before she opened her mouth.  “no, not too much.  Mine is probably too much, though I do clean up nicely, even if it is rare.  I am glad my Mom sent me some of her old dresses.  I would have had nothing formal without it.”  She agreed with the other woman before taking a sip of the wine she had plucked from one of the trays that were moving around.  “Honestly, you look good in the little black dress look.  I have noticed you have gotten a couple stares from some of the military brass of both the Alliance and Imperials.”<br/><br/>“Though, if you keep glaring, none of the said men will ask you to dance.  That’s what the balls are mostly for... and the orderves”  She said, reaching over and snatching a piece of food from her plate and popping it into her own mouth.  Unlike Sophia, Alicia seemed to ignore all the stares she was getting from the men in the room.  She was giving off the impression she didn't really want to be bothered by them even if she was smiling.<br/><br/>At the mention of leaving this boring party, Alicia chuckled a bit and looked around at the higher ups.  “Well, it is a bit boring.  I can guarantee there may be some soldiers holding much more interesting parties around the ship somewhere.  But we are dressed more for this kind of party, not a grunt's drunk bash.  I know a friend who can locate them though if you are so interested.”  she said, completely ignoring someone who tried asking her for a dance, it was an imperial officer.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
