It was mildly reassuring that it was more than just himself and Leighla, though the looks of jealousy made him wonder what he was missing about the situation to cause that. He did recognize a few of the ladies from the party, one having been on the outer edge of the group and gauging the mobsters, the other two huddling on the inside of the group and clearly having been hoping to not die horribly. He tagged Sapphire with a quick cough, before asking for her help in keeping the names and faces straight, having honestly not expected quite so large a group, and knowing his usual habit of barely remembering names for faces would NOT amuse this group.<br/><br/>With Sapphire's help, he would have to make it up to her later, though he sensed Aurelia joining in fairly quickly, and just hoped the two would keep comments to a minimum. He didn't want to explain spontaneous laughter for no apparent reason to the nobles.
