Containing the wriggling dog was a good move considering the awkward little look Vega gives it, her attention darting elsewhere instantly as if determined to ignore it completely. Especially in favour of looking around the place, her head craning right around the corner before they get into the room properly. Verdict? It is very homey.

"Lovely," she says absently. And then, looking directly at him with an arched brow, "Oh, Benedict. Fancy seeing you here."

As if she didn't know he would be. As if their previous 'interaction' never happened at all. Which it didn't, not really, because it wasn't Benedict she was screaming at and threatening but that's in the past now and Vega won't dare bring it up, not tonight. Not with witnesses.

She smiles at Byerly and Bastien both. "I don't mind at all. Your invitation was very cheering. The Gallows are dismal at the moment."
