Welcome to Gaia! ::

She'd done her best to guess the level of formal wear needed for going to Darlene's, at last aiming for 'somewhat fancy but not quite intensely fancy' - she'd gone for clothes in a bold teal colour and a mass of jewelry to compliment it. She clinked when moving, something that always made her mother laugh; but hell, if you liked something, why not go all out? Nazriya had never been one to do things by halves and she personally happened to like the 'bedecked by gems'-look - although there had been, even she could admit, times where she'd chosen less wisely and ended up looking a bit like a drunk peacock.

But she happened to think that today's understated saree went perfectly with her jewelry and there was no confidence issues to detect as she took her place at the coziest table she could find at Darlene's. It was a nice atmosphere she thought, buzzing with life and energy and yet not so rowdy as to be a sports bar or anything of the sort.

A place she could see herself coming to again, if the food turned out to be just as good.

Naz returned the smile with an equally warm grin and a hand lifted to gesture him closer. "Hey Nasir! Wasn't hard to find, honestly, and today seemed perfect for dinner out," she hummed, dialing down to a smile. "How are you? Working hard?"

"Very true," she laughed before ending in a quirked smile as she shook her head. "No, I couldn't accept that! Let me support your work, yeah? That's what friends are for, after all."

Fingering the menu, she took a sweeping glance of the place before ending back with her eyes on Nasir. A warm smile and she said, "this place looks great, by the way. Very eclectic crowd, which is always a good sign in my obviously expert opinion," a wink and a flash of teeth as she grinned. "Hope they're treating you alright?"
