Had Verity not been maintaining a relatively jovial mood since Christmas, she might have thought the extravagance of the evening was a bit much. Instead, she was rather amused by the gigantic lollipops, peppermints and falling snow in a way she could only describe as childlike. It'd been years since she was last delighted by Christmas, perhaps being free of her family's grief and struggles was beneficial in more ways than one.
She remained close to Everett's side throughout the evening, straying only once to say hello to her mother before returning. It was upon her return that she accepted the glass of champagne with a brief chuckle. "It's a bit much, I suppose. I think it's rather fitting for the holidays, though. When else can we support decorations this outlandish?"
