Although she found herself more than a little grateful when he ordered her a glass of water.<i>How very considerate!</i>. She was just about to remark on that - perhaps tease him a bit over it - when one of the French did what they do best. It certainly helped that the woman was absolutely stunning to boot.<br/><br/>Suddenly the room felt a lot more crowded. People were closing in, easily corralled in by the beautiful and boisterous brunette, and suddenly booze was being passed around like Communion. At first Dyani was grateful for the distraction, until the distraction allowed Aaren to notice yet another person Dyani hadn't thought she'd ever see again - Nadia Gaina. The short wave and lopsided smile he offered the pretty girl had old, ugly feelings rearing their malignant heads again.<br/><br/>Dyani's lips pursed minutely and she turned her attention pointedly elsewhere, allowing Ria to gain her full focus.<i>Anything</i>to keep her from thinking about Nadia and the<i>idiot</i>standing beside her. "Here here!" She barked perhaps a bit more zealously than she would have in the past, a bit of Loveday's influence peeking out of her there. And after, as she shot back the glass and held it right back out to the keep for another despite yet another grimace.<br/><br/><i>Eesh</i>, tequila? She wasn't allowed to have tequila anymore... Not since that one night with Dior, but well, at this point a shot of tequila would make a good chaser to the hell Aaren's original choice had put her through. So to hell with it all. This reunion was already going to the sewers as far as she was concerned. Last she had heard, thanks to certain stalking habits on social media, those two had broken up - hadn't they? "Oh, hey!" A large grin suddenly plastered itself across her face as she spotted Kat, once again glad for a distraction. It didn't last very long, because as she wiggled her fingers to the bright eyed beauty, Aaren decided to surprise the absolute hell out of her.<br/><br/>When Dyani had imagined meeting Aaren again never in her wildest dreams did she think he'd stick around past the first sentence, let alone<i>invite</i>her to converse more intimately. Truth be told, when she followed after him she probably looked about as dumbstruck as she felt, but nothing quite floored her as much as his hug suggestion. "What?" She blinked back at him like he'd grown two heads. The compliment was unbelievable enough, but he wanted a hug? Was that sarcasm? It<i>had</i>to be sarcasm. Was her radar off today? Had she really drank<i>that much</i>already?<i>Damn</i>those dimples...<br/><br/>"--You... want to hug me?" Suddenly that wide eyed look was melting back into something caught between confusion and absolute disbelief. "But-- I used to be such a massive bitch to you?" There really was no question about that one. She had taunted and bullied at him relentlessly. "I was actually, uh--" Dyani found herself shuffling awkwardly and ducked her head, not really sure what was going on. Had she somehow misread the situation? Were they about to play some sort of trick on her? Strange how she was suddenly feeling<i>waaay</i>more self conscious. "I was planning to try and apologize for all that, actually..."
