( The thought of dressing up again is strange, at first. It feels like a lifetime ago that Rose was attending a charity event or elaborate business party with Christopher, or playing hostess at their own home for a crowd of friends dressed to the nines β though it really couldn't have been more than a few months back. Still... so much has happened, and she isn't the same person she once was.
She does her hair and nails and feels like a stranger with herself, at first. Then, it becomes less and less so, and she begins to ease into the familiarities. She's always loved this: getting dressed up, being around people. She wanders around the Snake Den, still new enough to this place that she recognises very few faces, but she's smiling at strangers all the same.
Her own attire is a bit of a sassy little red thing, paired with a few golden bangles, heels, and a matching clutch. It's the sort of thing she would certainly have worn back home, and she isn't shy in the least about showing some skin; in fact, she's sort of in her element, here.
When she hears a familiar voice and turns towards it, Rose's eyes widen with a mix of surprise, recognition, and a friendly delight. She's reaching to take the man's offered hand before she even has to think about it, her other one coming to join it, both of her hands clasping over his for a moment. )
