Yeah, Xander definitely seemed to pretty oblivious to his actions and how they upset her. Aurora was usually so poised when she was on the job. Kasey, not so much. Kasey was most-definitely hot-headed. It was all a defense mechanism, just as it had always been, back when they were in school together. She was always alone because it was safer to be alone. And in order to not risk making friends, she had to come off as a bitch when she needed to when deep down she had just been a girl who had only been trying to keep her secrets. She hadn't wanted to risk being taken away from her mother, so she didn't let anyone get close enough to see what was happening to her. And only after she'd lost her did Kasey try to reach out to someone. Xander.<br/><br/>Over the years, when she needed someone to tell her everything would be alright without her mother, she only looked one person up. Xander. And now that she stood before him, given every opportunity to ask him how he goes on without his, how he lives without her, she couldn't. It was not the right time or the right place. He had approached her at work, mixing her two worlds in a way that made her uncomfortable and tense. So, her defense mechanism kicked in. He was getting too close. She needed him to stay away from her, and the best way to do that was to be a bitch to him. It definitely wasn't the best way she could've handled things, but it seemed to work nonetheless. That's all that mattered.<br/><br/>Kasey was no stranger to being called a bitch. His insult hardly even brushed her as she walked back to the patio door and stopped in front of it to check her reflection in the surface of the glass. She wiggled her hips a bit as she tugged her dress into place and ran her fingertips through her hair, tucking it behind one ear before she grabbed the handle, paying no mind to Xander's grumbling. Aurora had other people to worry about at this party.<br/><br/>Making her way back inside, she closed the patio door behind her and walked back into the party, leaving him outside to smoke and grumble to himself. She didn't care that he felt like he deserved and explanation as to why she was avoiding him. She didn't owe him anything. But she did owe this party some more attention, given she was already paid to be here. She spotted her friend Jolie chatting it up with the guy she had flirted with in the kitchen, but decided to make a loop around just to check to make sure there wasn't anyone who required some entertainment first. Luckily, most people were already getting into the swing of things, drinking and dancing and just having a good time. The rest of the girls seemed to really hold things together without her there.<br/><br/>Aurora made her way back around to catch up with her friend and Chase. "Jolie! You should've told me you'd be here. We could've gotten a ride together!" she said with a smile, as if nothing had happened out on the patio just a moment ago. She was back to her professional self, ready to make sure all these celebrities had a good evening. She turned her attention to Chase with a smirk. "I'm guessing maybe a ride at the end of this party might be out of the question, if you two are planning on sharing one," she teased her friend as she looked Chase up and down for a moment before finally addressing him. "Did you save me that shot or have you already sucked it off of someone's body?" she asked as she teasingly crossed her arms in feign judgement.
