Moira couldn't help but give a slightly bemused smile at Amandine's question. She lifted her shoulder and let it fall in a mild shrug, glancing around again curiously.
"We have." She answered before Shee and Amilane could, smiling at Amandine politely. "Just a few moments ago, actually." She added idly, eying Amandine's husband just as curiously as she had been admiring the club previously. She then returned her gaze to Amandine.

This situation felt kindof familiar to Laurel, not all the glitz, but the false looks and the various high powered people. She was slightly upset that she couldn't remember how such things would seem common... Can't think about that now! She told herself. Damn, that woman just asked something.
The Scott looked at Moria who seemed to be answering the lady's question that she missed. Laurel nodded in agreement.

Shee smiled. Everything was going well- for now, at least. Feeling thirsty, and wanting to see how her recruits would do for a while on their own, she asked, "Do you mind if I excuse myself for a drink? Would anyone else like something?"
Emile smirked at his wife's manner. She amused him no end. He felt the dark-haired woman's eyes on him, and returned her gaze with full force. She looked new at this game. Hearing Shee's question, he asked for a Black Velvet, not tearing his eyes away from Moira.

Moira eyed Emile just as he had been eying her, shaking her head in response to Shee's question. "I'm fine." She smiled at the woman lightly, before watching Emile again. For a second, she felt trapped.
Then she moved her gaze away when a few people bypassed them. She watched the couple silently, still feeling eyes on her. She glanced at Emile, and arched an eyebrow at him, in a silent 'What?'.

"Thank you, but I'm fine Shee," She told Shee, who was walking away. Laurel looked over at Moira and at the man watching her. Okay, that was something to stay away from. Instead she decided to speak with her wife, "Amandine, what type of cosmetics does your company produce?" Yes it was idle chat, but it could always lead on to more interesting topics. That and Laurel didn't know one thing about makeup.

Emile smirked, and turned his eyes to his wife. The woman's reaction bored him, quite frankly. He wanted to elicit something more.
Amandine looked delighted at Laurel's question. She loved it when she could talk about her cosmetics. And Emile's, she supposed.
"All kinds, darling! We specialize in coloured makeup- things like rouge and lipsticks. Much more dramatic than boring products like foundations! Although we produce those as well. Emile mostly sees to that kind of thing. I'm an idea woman."
She smiled brightly at Laurel. What a lovely girl. She didn't look like she wore very much makeup though.
"Do you use much makeup, dear? You have lovely bone structure. If you wish, I could give you some of Belle's products to try."

Moira looked slightly amused, and then her face was a stone mask again as she glanced around. Standing here was boring. She wanted to go explore, but leaving Laurel alone probably wouldn't be a good idea.
So she waited, patiently, and half-listened to the conversation in front of her, gazing around at the various guests and mentally commenting on their attire.

A slight color rose to her cheecks, "I tend to be to busy and of course my mother," Laurel paused to build a slight dramatic moment, "Died before she could show me such womanly things." Ah yes, it was personal information, but she knew she had to give some, to get some.

Amandine put a hand to her lips. Her nails matched perfectly with her lipstick.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to offend. But you must come to our offices then and visit me! I will show you around. We're consumer testing our latest line, and you'd be of so much help! You know, it's been hard to contact people outside of France ever since that horrible man went and situated himself in Italy. Why, one of my dearest friends is an Italian designer, and I can't contact him anymore."
She shook her head slightly, as if regretting something.
"I can still remember the days when Italy was the queen of the fashion world. It's so sad what has become of it today."

Hah!, She thought
"Oh no, you didn't offend me. I'm not sure why I even said that."
Putting on another smile, "Yes, in fashion and food - Italy was amazing. Once my family invited an Italian cook. The fare was simply shocking in taste."

"Did I hear something about food?"
Shee had returned, balancing three glasses. Handing two to the French couple and keeping the last for herself, she smiled at Laurel and Moira. At least they were talking more, albeit about food and not about things that were too useful to Lotus. Unless this food thing had a hidden angle she wasn't seeing...
Amandine took the glass gracefully from Shee and took a small sip. Punchy and full of sugar-- just the way she liked it.
"Ah yes. Italian food is wonderful. Although I myself am very partial to our own French cuisine. C'est la meilleur a moi, je pense."

Moira smiled a little at Shee, and listened to the conversation. Mentally, she was still ranking people by appearances, but not so much on clothes as confidence.
This conversation was, in her eyes, pointless. She wanted something exciting to happen, despite what it may lead to. It'd be better than a conversation about food, in any case.
((Yes. Moira is impatient. >.>...))

Touching Amandine's arm lightly, Shee said, "Excuse us, Amandine. We've got many people to go around and meet. Their first big party, remember? I assure you, I'll give Laurel your contact information so that she may talk with you again."
Stiffly nodding to Emile, Shee turned to Laurel and Moira.
"How would you like to meet the birthday boy?"

Laurel grinned at Amandine, "I'll certainly get a hold of you at a later date. Maybe you can introduce me to French cuisine. I think Shee is correct though, we really ought to meet the birthday boy."
She looked over at Shee and just nodded her head.

Moira looked up, and smiled. "That'd be great." She replied idly, nodding to Shee. She offered a smile to Amandine and Emile. "It was nice to meet both of you."
She waited to be led by Shee and Laurel, eyes downcast quietly.
