"Veris...Nice to meet you. So how long have you and Daniel been together? I remember when me and Bret first met...parrying back and forth for ages before he finally worked up the courage to buy me a present..." She giggles slightly. "Tell me, does it run in the family? Or was Daniel a bit more bold in that regard?"
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
Evangeline considers Veris's ostensibly haughty response for a moment before replying.
If you'd shot at me before you'd be in a position to know who I am, sweetie. 'Cause I'd've shot back.
The distaste in Evangeline's words is echoed by her unsociable facial expression as she sips from her glass whilst propping her head on her arm which in turn is levered against the counter top.
I'm just a friendly neighbourhood Junker. Nothing else to know beyond that.
Evangeline downs the last of her lemonade in a manner one would swear explicitly confirmed it to be of an alcoholic variety and sets the glass aside.
*Bret walks up behind Vixen, leaning in and whispering into her ear* Bret: Hun..Why don't you let Eva hold Licentia for a moment..She is her godmother you know... *Bret then turns around and walks up to the center of the room* Bret: Alright ladies and gentlemen..If you would be so kind as to take your seats, I would like to begin...I just hope that Mr. Holiday is alright, It's not like him to be late to such a party...

Vixen nods slightly, turning to Eva. "Would you? She's not likely to cause much trouble...I think she just wants to sleep. You should be sufficiently warm enough, I should think." She smiles, gently offering the semi-conscious kitten to Eva.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
She shrugs at vixen, giving a slight smile. She gestures at her swollen belly, chuckling as she says: Well, yes, i had to almost literally drag him the first time around. He seems to have adapted well, as you can see.
As for you Eva... I am sorry if i upset you, it is just i do not have much time for catching up on others. My job is enough of a pain in Rheinland, i do not have the time nor really the energy to keep track of who pissed off who. And to be honest, i really do not care. Long as you do not try to hurt Daniel or his family, i have no issue with you.
Veris is promptly ignored as the realisation of the impact of Vixen's request sinks in. Where her thoughts to be processed into English it would surely sound something akin to:
Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg.
However, Evangeline quickly discards the consideration of voicing such a ridiculous line and instead reaches out her arms and accepts the tiny bundle from its' mother's embrace.
She returns the kitten, as yet undisturbed, to her own bosom and gently, calmly supports it with her folded arms.
Evangeline notices an ever-so-slight vibration through her clothes accompanied with a soft, muffled purr as the kitten shuffles itself around in her arms.
She cannot help but smile like an idiot, exactly the same as when she's holding her own child.
It's... truly amazing how holding a child like this can soften even the hardest of minds to nothing more than a maternal mush.
Aaaaand I think Bret has something he wants to say, too.
Evangeline cocks her head in the direction of the kitten's father and smiles broadly.
*Bret checks the time on the nearby wall clock, taking in a sigh as Doc Holiday apears to have not been able to arrive, a sense of disapointment on his mind..He clears his throat again as he speaks, gazing upon all who have shown up nonetheless* Bret: Well..I do hope that Doc is alright...However I think its time to let you all know why I asked to be graced in with your appearance.. *Bret motions to the nearby bar staff to start passing out drinks, taking a glass as its given to him, each one containing a crystal blue liquid* Bret: This wine, was a shock to find when I was going through my vessel after recooperating on the Med.Force.One...Its a rare blue wine that has not been seen before in sirius, I could have sold the few bottles found for a fortune but I decided to share them with you all for tonight... *Bret raises his glass to the crowd, smiling as he gazes at everyone* Bret: Each and every one of you here hold a place in my heart...Each of you have shown me a path to take through my time in this life...From humble beginnings with a bunch of junkers who I still have NO clue how they function together.. *Bret laughs a little, pointing his glass towards Jenson, Ilo, and Miki* Bret: To finding the wild side of life while on the run from a few Liberty Battleships.. *Bret points his glass towards Eva, shaking his head and smiling* Bret: To finally finding family scattered amongst the stars... *Bret points his glass to Agatha, Evyn and Feya, and last Daniel* Bret: To finding the woman who has helped deal with me while in a hospital three times and shown me that life has its little miracles... *Bret points his glass towards Vixen* Bret: Every life...Is precious....No matter its shape, or form, or how they speak....We all look different here in this room, but we have been able to grow past what we see on the outside, and focus on what matters on the inside...And I am blessed....To know each and every one of you... *Bret bows to the crowd a moment, then raising his glass and taking a drink*
