She wanted this to go smoothly. She wanted this to go smoothly so badly, it was almost making her nauseous as she finished setting the table and setting out the last of the food. Some of it she'd made, some of it she'd bribed members of the kitchen crew to make for her, but all of it was hopefully something someone would like. And hopefully none of it would end up on someone's face.

Because she really didn't know.

She'd never really done anything like this before. Sure, there were family-style dinners at the mansion and with her grandparents while she was with them, but nothing like that existed here. She had no idea how this group of people that meant so much to her would get along with each other. She knew they'd all try, for her sake, and bless them for it, but she had a habit of making friends and family out of very opinionated and stubborn people and once the wine and beers were opened, who knew what would happen.

So she just said a prayer and hoped for the best as she got up to fiddle with her hair again.

"I was married once, I had to learn a few basic meals so I could impress Joce," he admits with a brief smile, giving her shoulder a light squeeze as he settles down. "So, is this the socializing part of the evening? Because I have it on good authority that sometimes, I can get crotchety."

"I try and save the real annoyance for the workplace," he teases, seeing as he tries not to be that grumpy outside of work, but there are certain people who really bring it out of him without much of a fight. "Besides, I wouldn't ruin your dinner like that. You mean too much to me."
