Uncertainty blanched her expression.
Drugs and alcohol did not entice her. Her Sentiency required control to keep her sane, and her uncle had brought her up well; she knew her limitations. Being around drunk people was just as bad; she avoided clubs and bars, and even their vicinity at night time. Asha's brow furrowed. She pulled her sleeves lower, wrapped her arms around herself. This place was just that little bit side of strange that she wasn't sure what she was being invited to. She wished fervently that Elias were here.
Tobias's grin was charming, and his words made her blush (his conversationalist? Was she talking too much again?), but the feeling did not translate the same. What she actually felt was reluctance that bled into her own, and something else too, but there was too much else going on around her to really pick it out. He had too many layers to trust at face value. If things did get too much up there, she had no one to anchor herself to. Especially if they were all smoking and drinking.
But.
She chewed her lip. "'We have much to discuss'? What do you think she wants?"
