First she heard a familiar voice call out helpfully followed by the person in question approaching at a light jog, then said person<em>tripped</em>. This wouldn't have bothered her nearly as much if the other person had just tripped and nothing more, but no. She'd managed to trip<em>and</em>stumble on her shoe.<br/><br/>Uncrossing her legs and then tucking them to the side and away from the catastrophe, it didn't take much to figure out who exactly had had the accident. There was only one person who was always at the top of everyone's list and the accident prone girl was stuttering up at her just as she'd expected. Noting the scuff on her shoes,<em>her shoes!</em>, a scowl marred her lips as her eyes narrowed down at the green nuisance. Avarice still couldn't quite figure out what she was supposed to be. Some kind of fairy or what?<br/><br/>Just as she was about to lash out with an angry comment, two of the others present arrived - obviously worried for the fallen assistant. Biting back the unspoken words, Avarice smoothed her expression into a genial smile. Before she could offer to help the girl up the one who introduced himself as Paul had already done so. Paul. Now why did that sound so familiar?<br/><br/>As Kunoichi stood uncertainly to the side, seemingly about to shrink away and hide in some corner, she reached over absently to straighten one of the 'petals' of her costume. "You really should watch where you're going next time." Her words were chiding and her tone familiar, though there was something icy in her eyes that she reserved for the other woman alone.<br/><br/>Turning to the other two, she smiled apologetically, as if for Kunoichi's sake. "It seems we haven't. I'm Avarice." She nodded an acknowledgment to Ronin as well. "And you are?"<br/><br/>While speaking, the redhead she'd spotted before sauntered over and Avarice was starting to see that there'd be some competition for the magazine shoot. Then again, the costume option had been left open...perhaps the others weren't vying for the spot as well? She returned the smile to Matilda though the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Looks like we have plenty of newcomers. I haven't had a chance to meet everyone yet anyway. I'm Avarice, Tilly right?" Blue eyes swept up taking in the Jessica Rabbit costume and when their eyes met there was a spark of a challenge. Or was that hostility? "I'll keep that in mind. Apparently my homework is to remember everyone's names and faces!" She ended with a light joking tone.
