She hadn't expected to have Kiri track her down outside. Granted she knew that the female wanted to see her to introduce her around, however Talia preferred to keep to the edges at parties, regardless of how wonderfully she was dressed, or the artless beauty that caused several secret admirers. Yet she wasn't upset when Kiri dragged on her hand and turned her around, away from the view of the city, although she did have to focus for a minute to make sure that her wine wasn't upset. She smiled warmly though at the kisses and returned them politely.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry Kiri, you know I don't like crowds though."<br/><br/>Tali gave a slight start when the other woman pushed her forward though, and she nearly stumbled on her three inch heels, she didn't dress like Kiri, it was a classical look that clung to her as dark blue gray eyes met brown ones. She smiled, a quirk of her full lips, her posture speaking an curious uncertainty. "Its a pleasure to meet you Patrick."<br/><br/>She dipped a slight curtsy, it was old world manners yes, but that was how her parents had brought her up. Play nice? Why would Kiri say that? Talia was always pleasant. She felt a bit lost, but Patrick certainly was handsome, and looking at him standing there in his evening wear her fingers itched to sketch out more ideas, his body was perfect for the type of line she had been considering. At Kiri's hushed words a slight blush stole into her cheeks and she sought for a suitable reply. "Inspiration more so then eye candy Kiri dear." She murmured back, smiling slightly up at him again, aware it was horribly rude to whisper.
