Mira listened intently at Beth's proposition for going to the birthday party, and at first all she could do was just shudder as she thought about being around such wealthy people. However, the idea of going to such an event excited her a great deal, and she wasn't about to turn down the opportunity to get just a little bit closer to Beth. Once the older woman had finished laying out the proposition, Mira simply nodded in agreement to it without a moment's delay. "That sounds like it would be a lot of fun, Elisabeth, as long as you don't mind the rumors that are going to come erupting out of this, I'd absolutely love to be there." The one issue would be that of her actually needing a rather nice and expensive dress, but Beth did say that the two would be able to go out shopping for one before the event, which was a massive relief to Mira. "Right then, when and where should we meet to go shopping? I don't really own any formal dresses." In all honesty, the idea of having to wear a dress again made Mira a little uncomfortable, but she'd be willing to do it for the sake of the date.<br/><br/>........................................<br/><br/>Julian simply sat there and listened while she spoke about her medication, and how she was participating in the MBF in order to pay for it. He gave her a confused look when her mouth suddenly shut, as he started to get the feeling that perhaps she wasn't in quite as much pain as she was before anymore. Nevertheless, he gave her a polite smile after a few seconds and spoke again, content to use the silence to his advantage. "I'm sorry that you're forced to such extremes... Medication for such a rare disease can't possibly be cheap. But, at least you're willing to put forth the effort to get it yourself, rather then just pander in front of a camera for people to pay the medication for you... 'donations' and what have you... It's very respectable, all things considered."
