Emilia can tell the young woman is quite taken with him.
In spite of her initial disappointment at his refusal to join her in the drinking, her spirits brighten once he begins to usher them away. Emilia watches them through her own mask — a fox, of all ironies — and once she deems enough time has passed, she bids her own goodbye to the growing cluster of attendees.
Her nerves are getting the best of her, you see. She needs to go to the powder room before the charity auction begins in earnest to ensure there's not a single wrinkle on this stunning dress.
They're distracted enough in their joviality they don't pay much mind to her reasons, and soon enough, Emilia is joining the others who have offerings for the auction. She keeps appraising the space as surreptitiously as she can. How are things going on your end? We're about to begin.
