[b]Aliquam: Tobias’ Gala[/b]
The gala room, much like pretty much everything else they had seen today, was a grand and equisitly decorated place, screaming wealth and sophistication from every angle. Tobias' status as a patron was fairly evident, judging by the various artistic pieces arranged around the edges of the room. As such, much like earlier, both Moira and Syed were feeling pretty out of place. And slightly uncomfortable, thanks to what happened last time they had a fancy formal dance in an extravagant setting.

Still, Syed nodded in response to Dylan's very short briefing. So, it was like that. He kind of doubted it would be just the girls who would need to watch out. Judging from Dylan's words as well as their actions earlier, Tobias and Dylan must have been once closer than friends.

He was just in the process of turning down the offer of champagne when he was suddenly pulled slightly downwards by the shoulders. Lucien?! [i]"You know what this means? Operation babe hunt! What do you say? It might be fun, yeah?"[/i]

In contrast to Lucien's smooth acting, Syed just became a little flustered, his hair beginning to stand on end a little as he flushed spectacularly. "Wh-what?! I- I'm not looking! I'm not interested! I'm not into... you know!" He looked desperately towards Dylan and Marcus for help. Oh Vayu either of those two would have been more qualified for this than them! "I mean, I'm cool being a wingman for you, but I'm not... I don't...!"

[i]“But we’ve already got babes here!”[/i] Lute exclaimed, excusing himself. Syed, his face still a particularly luminous shade of crimson, looked sideways at his friend. Oh. He had been ditched. Suddenly his own anxiety didn't seem to be such a big deal anymore. He patted Lucien's shoulder sympathetically.

"Come on, let's find you a girl then. Somehow... even though I have no idea where to even start..."

However, when Moira was offered the champagne she grabbed two glasses. One for her, and one for...

Oh for crying out loud the insane music guy was making a beeline for her [i]again[/i]. She glanced towards Amy - they had to intercept this fast. "EY! REE!" she yelled as subtly as ever towards the Illusionist. Which really wasn't needed since she wasn't even that far away. "Gotcha a drink! It should be decent I reckon. Maybe?" She brought her own glass to her lips and took a big gulp. "Yeah it's good. Fancy joinin' us? We ain't had a proper chance to hang out yet!"

She wasn't particularly bothered by Dylan's caution. She kind of doubted she would be Tobias' type anyway.
