Trileon enters some time after Sophie. Quietly, she looks at everyone.."..." ..Before disappearing behind a row of books near the back of the room."Black Holes emit radiation which, over time, makes them slowly evaporate and die out.."

Cameron- "Eli, August, guys, we're probably taking this too seriously. I mean, it's a bit of a mess, but aren't showbiz people always a bit bonkers? This is probably every other day for those guys."

August- "When you're right, you're right. They didn't seem too fussed did they?"
Eli- "Yeah, August is right. Let's all just take it easy. Damn, that food was something else, huh? Whew, I'm stuffed. Glad we didn't wait to swim!" (ORIGINALLY...)Eli turned to Leo, then turned back to Sophie. Was this really how it was going to be? They all just...break apart...after one faux pas? He had tried to open up to these people, to make new friends, and look how it turned out.
He had a flashback to the day his mother left. The tears, the pleading, 'It's not you, it's me.' He was a fool to think anything could change, and yet his damned brain kept wanting to. It desperately yearned for the one thing it could never attain, and this was the result. This was a nightmare. This was the code red, worst-case-scenario, end of times.
In this moment, Eli was afraid. He hadn't been this scared in a long time.
And he would make sure this never, ever happened again.

"August, THAT is what bothers me...that they weren't fussed. Chloe looked absolutely distraught and they just..." He gestured futilely, trying to convey how he felt about the situation. "Something just feels very wrong about all of this..." His face fell and he sighed.
"Or am I just being paranoid? I'm being paranoid, aren't I?"
Eli- "Nah, it's cool, my dude. But really, nothing bad's going on. She's just... well, we can ask her later, yeah?" (ORIGINALLY...) " You're not being paranoid, Quinn. It was a good observation..."
Eli didn't want to elaborate. He wasn't about to screw things up again. Unless the conversation was light and airy, he would keep his contributions to a minimum.

"Maybe. It wasn't like they just let her run out of there, Wilhelm went out to talk to her. They seem super close, perhaps they just know her better than we do…"

Leo pokes her head from behind the shelf, gesturing to Quinn with a nod."I don't think so. I agree completely. That was so.. whack. Just fucking whack." Her expression softens a little,"I don't think I want to stay here anymore, guys." There were a collection of books tucked into one arm - All of them having to do with astronomy. Normally, she never read any sort of book, but this particular situation left her a little.. stressed out.
And like that she was behind the shelf again, browsing for more books.

Quinn's shoulders dropped a little and he leaned one shoulder into the book case. Quinn- "Sorry, I'm not helping. I'm just...rattled." He fell quiet, lips pressed thin with worry. Eli- "Man, Leo... Let's not let this ruin the night! We still need to check in on Chloë at the very least! I feel like-- I dunno, maybe I shouldn't done something sooner, I'm sorry, everyone... let's-- I dunno." (ORIGINALLY...) " Leo..."
" I can drive some people back, as soon as we talk to Chloe. I don't want to leave before we apologize."

"Sorry guys but I think we should try to stick this out. We can apologise to Chloe and get this job. We could hit the big time! A little snag shouldn't get in the way, Cam is right."

Sophie looked up at Eli. She couldn't reject an apology from anyone, if one was offered. "It's not your fault. Things are just... different in my family. Back home, we don't speak of the dead in such a way. I'm sorry for getting so upset." "And I'm also worried about Chloe."

"Our Talulah will be right as rain eventually. The poor darling has probably lost somebody close recently. I agree with August. It's impolite to dine and dash. Now, who wants a Babette hug? They always lift the spirits." She extended her arms, an open invitation. Eli- "Aww, you're so sweet Babs. I don't wanna get my boy-stink on you though. I'll take a rain check." (ORIGINALLY...) "It is my fault, but thank you anyways. It was insensitive of me. Death is a personal subject, and it was wrong of me to talk about it in such a public forum."
" I guess that champagne must have loosened my lips just a little too much."

"Well, if no one else wants one, I'll take a Babette hug. "

"I would also like a hug. How about an 'everyone hug'"?

Ru- Ru raised an eyebrow at this, and decided that Babette and August were probably involved, before moving on to other considerations. He seemed to have redacted his on-screen personality in some way or another.
Suddenly he seemed more on the quiet side, and possibly the meek side as well."We should apologize, it is true. We were inappropriate but I think if we do better later we will be alright. I don't plan to stay until the end of the party though, if anyone plans to go home a little early." He eyes the arms of Babette and then sighs. He probably shouldn't leave them here, but there were plenty of other rides to be had.
