Kat had arrived on time and with nothing but herself. She should have brought something, an offering of food or alcohol but she didn't have anything that she could reasonably part with. "I'm Kat." Her tongue darted nervously across her lips and her vibrant emerald green eyes dropped towards the floor. She was good at talking to people one on one but large groups like this were awkward. Kat wasn't used to having the attention directed so pointedly at her nor was she used to having friends. She'd had coworkers when she was with the order but that was different.
The one blessing that eased what might have made this all awkward was that she already knew Stephanie very well and had spoken to both Nida and Seifer once before. If not for them, she might not have arrived tonight.
"I'm not sure what else to say. It's nice to meet everyone."
Kat was wearing her attire from home which wasn't made for winter but it was comfortable. Her hood was pulled over her head and the thin familiar piece of fabric felt safe.

She didn't spend a lot of times playing games, even as a child, there were always other things to think about and she was absolutely awful at them. The JENGA tower wiggled as Kat pulled the thin wooden block from its ranks and then it toppled. "Darn it." She bit back an actual swear word as she looked up at those playing with her. She had lost for the fifth time that night. "Maybe I should sit the next one out."
Kat didn't know why she was having so much trouble with this. Her hands were steady and she was used to working on small gears and other fragile projects, both for the order and for Tony, but that wasn't helping her. No matter what she did, she as backed into a corner where she had to take a piece that would cause the tower to fall.
Vergil had been the master of strategies and she silently wished he was here to help her select better pieces. They always had made the best team.
She shook away the thought and helped rebuilding the tower.
QUITE CALM
The gathering was entertaining and the company was fun but Kat needed time in a less crowded area. She retreated to Nida's room and only felt a little awkward being in alone in an intimate space of the house.
Kat was respectful. She took a seat on the floor with her shoulder blades pressed against the wall. The warmth of the house helped her relax and she closed her eyes as she listened to the pleasant buzz of the party going on in the rest of the house. This was nice and she was happy that she'd left her two charges at home to come tonight. She didn't know how long she'd be staying but she didn't regret it.
She sat for over an hour in the silent room, greeting those who entered with a soft hello before falling back into silence.
