"It's more attractive when you're late, but not so late that the festivities have already started. Just so that everyone can see you when you arrive." Crystal closed her eyes with a dreamy sigh, a smirk working it's way onto her lips. "I suppose you could say that I like to make an appearance from time to time." She said softly, winking at Irina before gently pulling on her arm to lead her towards the door. Crystal smoothly unwrapped her arm from around Irina's, but not before giving her bicep a subtle squeeze and blushing. [i]She's a lot stronger than she looks...[/i] Her suspicions were correct, but she had to wonder how Irina managed to be so firm while also keeping such a soft appearance in that dress. Had the female knight not saved her life, Crystal would probably think Irina was a joke as well... Now, She was happy to have a monopoly on such a warrior. Clearly those men didn't know what they were missing out on! Crystal opened the door to the hallway, assuming Irina was following close behind...but not too close, because Crystal was feeling a little odd. 

"I know! We should have some wine before we leave...Hmm, even though they do serve the Royal Family wine at these events." Crystal stopped in the hallway, tapping her fingertips against her arm as she contemplated what to do. "A little wine never hurt anyone!" She cheered all of sudden and then skipped forward, not once checking to see what Irina was up to. Of course she had forgotten that she spilled wine all over Irina's lap last night due to drinking way too much. Sadly, the Princess does not know how to hold her alcohol and often embarrasses herself and others when she drinks.
