Oh, trust me, that's on my list of stuff to do tonight.

[which isn't especially long right now, but only because she doesn't know what exactly is going to happen tonight to expand that list.]

I really haven't been at a party like this in about ten years. I think I'm gonna need some ramp up time to get really into it. I should probably take care of that sooner rather than later, you know?

[she's not going to press or pry. she knows, right now, that there are things paul is deliberately avoiding talking about. if he's not ready to talk about something that's so obvious the rest of the party can see it so clearly, she won't force him. but she can offer to do something stupid.]

I could run some recon if you want some help figuring it out.
