[b][u] Aliquam: Tobias’ Gala [/b][/u]

Aria was glad for Moira's support as the descended down the staircase to join the others. Unsurprisingly the older woman was way more of a heavyweight than she was, and as of result much less wobbly. 

"I can't tell if it's a coincidence that something always happens when we go out to eat," She shook her head with amusement as they finally reached the others, only for Tobias to start his announcement from the second floor. She blinked- had he passed them on the way up? Then again, there probably numerous ways to get to the second floor balcony. 

"Mockery? Arrogant brain addled fool? He's not very creative with his insults." She huffed in disappointment, letting go of Moira's arm to lean on Lute for support instead. "Bet he's just jealous cus he's not as attractive as the thief fellow."

In the end, everyone agreed to take up Rose's offer of staying at her and Angel's place for the night. Aria was rather looking forward to kicking off her heels for the night; it would no doubt be a long day tomorrow trying to chase down a slippery thief and all. 

The mansion was every bit as grand as she imagined- smaller than Tobias' but very impressive nonetheless. The Pride all trudged in, tired from all the excitement of the day to flop onto very soft and comfortable bed in the various guest rooms.
