Log;

Tables are set, the drinks are flowing, the music's turned up, and Angela's happy. Of course, she's happy with any decent party, but this one is her baby. With a little help, she's managed to throw together this little shindig and even coax a few wallflowers into showing up. It's not a Jeffersonian employee get together where she'd know who's who, who's the new kid on the block and which employee was sleeping with another employee, but everybody's a stranger to each other at City General sooner or later. Tonight's the best time to get to know each other.

With a handful of nibbles in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, this girl is going to work the room and mingle like the professional mingler she is.

"Cannot you treat this as a normal social outgoing?" Lilith asked reproachfully sending a frown at Aion's direction. "At least for the first hour? We've just arrived."

[jiyuna_togabito]

Aion slightly returned the gesture as he watched his comrade go off towards the bar. He tilted his head towards Lilith when she scolds him and gave a smirk.

"Aren't social outings meant for this purpose, to get to know the people around you? Don't think others aren't aiming to do the same." Violet eyes darted at her, he made his point as he took a sip of his drink. "Though that's not to say I won't be having an enjoyable night, Lilith. Now, why don't you introduce me to some of your friends."

Glancing through the crowd, Solomon spied a familiar face.

He turned to the woman on his arm, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "Marishka, have you met Lilith? She was responsible for helping me find employment when I first came here... let's go say hello..."

[toobad-sosad.livejournal.com]

Marishka looked around curiously. She really didn't know anyone here at all. But she was used to that after her master's parties.

"Mm...no."

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

"Well, let's remedy that, shall we?"

Smiling brightly at his date, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist and led her through the crowd.

It took but a moment...

"Lilith~ my, but don't you look lovely this evening... I think this party was long overdue, don't you?"

The chevalier gave a slight nod towards her escort, an acknowledgment of the other man's presence before turning his attention back to the women.

"Allow me to introduce my date, Marishka. Marishka, this is Lilith Sahl, an exceptional talent here at the hospital."

Although for less nefarious purposes, Lilith mentally added to Aion's reasonable remark, wishing he would relax for one single evening. She respected his scheming nature, though she thought it unhealthy to the degree he embraced his plotting.

She sensed the pair approaching before they introduced themselves, by the corner of her eye, she had observed the movements of the party, in case security was necessary and sporadically minding the position of the guests for their safety. Lilith turned and smiled, extending her hand to shake Marishka's. "What a pleasure to meet one of Doctor Solomon's friends. This is Aion. He agreed to join me this evening."

[jiyuna_togabito]

Aion noticed the same pair drawing closer and carefully observed the two with a grin. Taking from his greeting, he seemed like one of Lilith's colleagues, quite the bubbly type but something about him gave the sinner another impression.

He glanced towards the man's date to acknowledge her presence while extending his own hand for the other man to shake. He returned a light smile as he focused his attention on Solomon. "A pleasure to meet you, doctor. Solomon, was it?"

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

"Why yes... Solomon Goldsmith, to be more precise." He smiled pleasantly, firmly shaking Aion's hand. "A pleasure to meet you."

His head tilted slightly, assessing the other man's appearance. There was something about him that Solomon liked immediately. Whether it was that air of distinction that Aion seemed to possess, or some deeper essence that felt like a mixture between his old business partner Jez, and his friend Luke... he couldn't say.

But he was rarely wrong when it came to judging others, a talent that had led him far in the business world. And the fact that his esteemed colleague, Lilith, had seen fit to bring him to the party... merely confirmed what he was thinking.

"Have you been in the City long, Mr. Aion?"

[toobad-sosad.livejournal.com]

She smiled as she nodded to each of them. They both did not smell human. So interesting. Her eyes almost lit up at the thought but she said nothing.

Instead, she rested her head on Solomon's shoulder fondly.

"So nice to meet a friend of Solomon's."

[holymadonna.livejournal.com]

Lilith noticed that Marishka's parlor wasn't from a human being, not quite, but she didn't care for that. To her, all were equals and people alike. Boys would be boys, she thought, noticing a degree of interest in the way Aion and Solomon regarded each others. The doctor was a good person, Aion could use a friend.

"How did you meet Doctor Solomon, Marishka?" she asked, giving her an easy smile.

[jiyuna_togabito]

"Any period of time spent here is long enough, don't you agree?" Aion slightly hinted with a sly smile of his dislike for this world, though really any normal person would prefer their homeland. He allowed the other to take it as he will. There was still much to pry for how the doctor felt. Especially a man who would allow such a date to drape herself over him. He could sense that she was more than a human, if a human at all.

He kept quiet to listen to Marishka's answer, curious himself as to how they've become acquainted. The Doctor and the beauty. Interesting, truly interesting to say the least.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

The smile left Solomon's eyes, even though his pleasant expression otherwise stayed firmly fixed. "Yes... how true." At one time he thought this world was a virtual paradise, giving him everything that he could have ever possibly hoped for... but it was an illusion. One that was cruelly ripped away.

But feeling Marishka's body so close, he was drawn out of his thoughts. She had that miraculous effect on him, especially recently. Eyes sliding over to peer at the long soft hair framing her face, he awaited her answer. It was good for her to socialize more, healthy for her mental state to widen her circle of friends.

And she did look quite distracting...

[toobad-sosad.livejournal.com]

"Mmm...He arrived and I said hello." That was how they'd met. She remembered it well. More so now that they were close.

"Solomon works with you?"

She didn't understand anything about doctors. It was something that mattered so little since she didn't need one. She didn't get ill and her injuries healed when she consumed blood.
