Lucien is behind Jan Di, having followed as she went after Rhett! She had actually flagging him down taken care of, but he's still there for support.

She presses her lip together, considering what she'd want to say more.

Then settles on:

"That's not getting a drink then coming back."

Rhett glances at the two male companions as they come closer, before giving his best sheepish laugh.

"I actually thought I'd take a quick trip to the bathroom. You know how it is, gotta make some room for the drinks to go, right?"

"Aquantices or friends? You gotta be hanging with people in your free time, right?"

His eyes keep darting toward the scene with Jan Di and friends, but it didn't seem like a big issue.

"You go on any missions?"

Eve turned around to glance at the group as they moved past her, carefully staying out of their way. She tilted her head curiously, but didn't bother interrupting.

"I consider them friends at least... It wouldn't hurt to spend more time with them, to be honest... I wouldn't want to overstay my welcome."

Growing up, she didn't have many, if any playdates, and they were arranged by her parents at best. She wouldn't know where to start in initiating contact.

"Maybe one, if you count the one where we went up against the robots in the Tutorial. Other than that and a few heated happenstances, I haven't been on the field at all. I've been thinking it over and maybe my skills wouldn't be the best fit there."

She certainly wouldn't know what to do if she got shot in the leg.

Jan Di tries to force a smile, wanting to believe him.

"Oh. Okay. Well don't leave until I can give you your gift, alright?"

Lucien nods, but still looks suspicious! Although he hates to drag down a party, he can't help worrying.

"That's fair. Your power definitely seems more intelligence oriented, at the very least."

He nods along with Fred's explanation.

"Well if you ever want to hang out, I'm usually free to play some games or anything else. My buddy Taner likes to as well."

"I would be delighted. Thank you."

She smiles. She wonders what Taner is like.

"If you ever need me to talk to anything for you, I'd be happy to help."

"Well I wanted to wait un-"

She glances at Josh and frowns. If she gives it now then he can bail at any point! Damn it.

"...Fine."

She raises a finger to tell them to wait, looking at the floor as eventually a gift box slides over towards them. When she picks it up a bunch of ants scatter away and she holds it towards Rhett.

"Be careful with it."

Evie made a little noise of surprise, bumping into the table when the ants became visible. Catching the refreshments, she tried to stay on her toes, away from them.

The group had most of her attention now, even if her blue eyes betrayed her nervousness.

Rhett reaches into his pocket, pulling out his own small present, one that easily fits in the palm of his hand, and holds it out to Jan Di as he takes her present with the other.

"I got you one, too."

He gives her a small smile.

She gives him a wry smile, taking it! She fully intends to open hers AFTER he opens his.

"Thanks. And uh...sorry for being weird. We alright?"

Now that they were actually talking, she didn't feel as awkward about how to start.

Jan Di watches!

"I don't know if it's rare or anything..." she quickly explains. "The dude said it was special...I dunno if you're into this stuff."

He finds this: model car in its box!

He looks up at her with a wide, sincere smile.

"Now I feel like I need to get you another gift."

He looks at the car, seeing if there was any secret love notes inside! He also wants to know what Jan Di got.

There's no secret love notes inside. What a paranoid guy!

"Pff. Nah. I got a good deal, probably."

She means free. She opens her own gift!

"A great deal, I hope!"

Rhett is busy looking at the car, too busy to notice her opening her present already.

Inside is a necklace with a simple silver pendant in the shape of a heart. If Jan Di opens it, she'll see a picture of her and Rhett that they had taken a few months ago inside.
