[Which makes the woman the safer bet. Though Jim's not above giving the man an obvious up and down sweep with his eyes as though he's very pleased by what he sees before shifting to his date and pulling up a charming smile that's a little more full of intent than the wide eyed demure date he's been plaything all evening.]
Now, I'm not sure this has been a waste, dearest. There's so much.... [Another not-so-sneaky glance at the pair.] ...to admire about the evening. Ah, the Venue, I mean. You never take me out to socialize anymore.
[The barest of put upon pouts in his tone. Not that he would Dare complain to his patron, of course.]

[ so jim's likely right on the money there. better not to risk causing too much fuss too early. as he slips more into the act they've both been playing, she steps into the other side, giving the couple a disdainfully appraising look, like she can't agree with her companion's assertion. ]
Which is why I brought you out tonight, [ she points out with the air of someone who is annoyed at having to share a prize. ] Thought you could use the enrichment.
[ her eyes follow his to the pair he has "chosen" and her chin rises slightly. the woman's head tilts almost imperceptibly, as she looks them over. curiosity perhaps. the man's eyes narrow. jealousy? hmmm... ]
Come now. Don't give me that look. Let's make a game of it. You find me someone worth your time and I'll bring you out more often.
Handsome companion you have there, [ the woman's voice rings out. not loudly, but pointedly, enough for jim and neve to hear over the crowd but not enough to draw extra attention. ]
Isn't he just? [ neve's possessive smile flicks to their two targets as the pair rise and meander over. ]
Pity, really. If he were altus... [ the woman gives jim another appraising look. neve, still playing the part despite the way her hair stands on end, shifts to hold jim's arm a little tighter. possessive but also comforting for them both. ]
If any of us were altus enough, would we be at this soiree? [ neve gestures around at the gathering. it certainly has the look of high society, but given the relic she and jim are here to find, and what she suspects it's here for, well... ]
Oh, we're all here for the same thing, [ the woman purrs, her eyes back on jim. ] Connections. So, tell me. How can I help your socializing today?

He almost opens his mouth at the woman's invitation, but a dig into his sleeve makes him turn to look to Never for permission first. It's only when she gives a dismissive nod of her head that he whips his head back around, positively beaming for any kind of enrichment. He can't know what's going on here, but really isn't that for the best?
His kind are to be seen and little more unless making their pretty voices ring out is part of the entertainment. ]
My lady. My lord.
[Jim sweeps a practiced bow with all the grace of a once-lordling.]
I do hope there's to be some worthy entertainment here this evening. My most gracious patron hasn't let slip a single thing about the details of tonight. She's been having too much fun teasing me while I try to guess.
[He gives them both the biggest eyed pleading look he can muster. Don't you just pity the simple fool?]
I've always wanted to attend a real altus gathering though, and my lady has been so very gracious to allow me in as ah. As an honored attendant of course. I am here by her pleasure and generosity. There's so many things here I haven't ever had the chance to try before.
