*Sylvan only smiles and adds her voice with the others' in their toast. Taking a sip of the wine as she looks then to the Aurors. It was a good feeling to have one's plan go along flawlessly. The next phase would be where the fun truly began, of course.*
*Sylvan's expression doesn't slip from it's serene countenance once as she plays options through her head. Instead she looks over to a quiet Severus and then back to the Aurors. Different plans flitting through her mind.*

*He notices Sylvan's look towards himself and his friends.*
*Forgiving and trusting he may be, but once his suspicion is aroused, he is not easily shaken.*
*Her odd conversation earlier, and her looks now concern him, and as always his curiosity gets the better of him.*
*He lowers his glass and approaches the woman.*
Hello there.
Sylvan was it? I uh.. couldn't help noticing you were looking at me.
*Thinking that sounded like a pick up line, he tried to cover it.*
So I thought I should come over for a chat.
*He smiles*

*Sylvan blinks and looks to Ken as he announces she was looking at him. Chuckling a bit softly before intoning in a soft voice.*
Mr. Bonobo..I look to several, I'm curious to see who all has attended this meet and celebration. Unless you think there was something more behind that look?
*Her voice dropping to prevent too many from overhearing.*
Or do you come to try to use Legilimens on me? In Greece...that is considered quite rude, even from someone titled such as you are.
*Watching him before looking around again. Letting out a soft sigh before continuing.*
Truthfully, I'm worried.
*She glances around againt before looking straight to Ken.*
Do you know what happens to those who once serve You-Know-Who and then turn against him? No? It's because it's never happened before. So forgive me if I seem on edge...I've long been in the habit of expecting the absolute worst in any given situation. This one has many 'absolute worsts' in it, wouldn't you agree?
*Reaching up to pinch at the bridge of her nose gently.*
I'm sorry...this is hardly your problem or your design. I should not be so cold.

*Ken is slightly taken aback by her words, feeling just a little foolish that he had not realised that the situation was more complicated than its surface.*
No... I am sorry. I misjudged the situation.
*He smirks slightly.*
Would you care for another drink?

*She smiles softly to him and nods her head.*
You are quite forgiven, Mr. Bonobo. I am sure that in your line of work...you must be suspicious of everything...else find yourself in a situation you could have avoided.
Ah, yes please. Though...I should take a care with how much I drink. If things do go awry, I'd wish to keep my wits about me.

*He waves at the elf to bring over the tray.*
Ah, a woman after my own heart.
I do like to be in control of myself, even when everything around me is going crazy.

*Astoria had been kind of surprised as she heard what Lucius was doing, but her face broke into a small smile as she looked at Daphne, Pansy, Millicent, and much more people that she had not known. A new start? That sounded nice.* *Raising up her glass and smiling, she says:* To good friends.

*Sylvan nods her head and offers a soft chuckle.*
Yes, it is a good habit to stay in. A good duel is won by wit and speed, both of which are oft forgotten when drinking wine. Especially wine in Lucius' stores. He has been a gracious host and thankful for my watchful eye of his home and family.
Still...there is something in the air, don't you think? Like a cat waiting to pounce an unsuspecting mouse.
*She lets out a sigh and a soft laugh.*
Of course, it could just be me. I've been chasing shadows for the last few days in Lucius' halls. I am glad he has opened his home to his old friends in the Ministry...but I did try to offer a word of caution to him.

*from where she sat, spending her time slowly sipping her drink and accepting a few exciting bits of food from the house elf here and there, glad to have something sensible in her stomach for once, Anna was being quite the wall flower*
*thinks she might want to get up and be sociable, and not such a rude guest, but before she had a change to make her way over to three girls she did not recognize at the moment, Lucius Malfoy began his speech.*
*looks into her hand bag and pretends to be searching for something, a compact mirror, a lipstick, etc, and swiftly perches her quick quotes quill upon the paper, and then zips the bag up again*
*waits politely until he finishes his speech, then raises her glass as well*
To good friends.
*takes a sip, and then places her empty glass on her little table*
*stands up and sweeps over to where the girls were, noticing the brunette as the Greengrass girl... what was her name, Daphne? Yes, Daphne*
Excuse, me I couldn't help but notice that you three, *speaking to Pansy, Astoria, and Daphne* seem to be have the best dresses here. I figured I'd come give my compliments to the lovely girls wearing them. *smiles kindly*

*Clears the path towards the gardens. The crowded lounge area forced him to catch some breath outside. Wanders around the lake, glancing form candle to candle. Kingsley found himself lost in thoughts*
*Nymphadora rescue was still fresh in his mind and as he thinks of it, the chances of being successful enlarged into a tremendous risk. A risk he was ready to take*
*Finishes his Champagne glass, walks until a pretty bench and sits down harassed*

*Listens to the speech with a frown on his face. Remus was raged like he never was before, but yet, he remained silent. He didn't want to make them suspect of anything. If the Malfoy's knew they were planning on a rescue mission, Dora would be gone for good. As Lucius finishes his speech, him too raised his glass*
To the bloody prick...
*He mutters in a way that only the Aurors could hear*
*Sees Kings going outside and decides that is a good time to look for some good FireWhiskey*

I do feel something odd. A presence I've not felt since...

*Smiles appreciatively at Anna's compliment, and feels that she knows her from somewhere. She assumes that her sister is correct, and now remembers reading something by Anna recently.*
Thank you very much. You look lovely, as well.
*Nods to Astoria*
Yes, that's right. You do lovely work, Anna.
*Smiles at her again, meaning every word.*

So, darling sister, what do we do next? *Giggles and smiles* I don't think I have a partner tonight- I was sleeping, at home, thinking nothing of this wonderful deal. *Sighs and brushes hair away from face* What a terrible thought. Anyhow, this is wonderful, isn't it?
