Her presence does its job, reminding Kagerus that she really doesn't want to be single, and causing the Catch of the Day to take a step back. Of course, making her point has a cost, but is one she is happy to pay. As her wife brings her face in close, Solace reaches with her free hand into the tangle of wild, auburn hair. She never would get used to those lips.
Maybe it's the champagne (or the pre-game bottle they shared) but as Kag's tongue glides along the roof of her mouth, the blond woman's face goes numb and the noise of the party disappears. Kagerus aims to pull away, but Solace snags her lower lip in her teeth, prolonging the PDA for a second longer. Fully aware of the lurking photographer and other gawkers, Solace lets her go with a roll of her neck and shoulders.
At this point, Wishbone is openly staking her claim to Stillwater, and after her kiss Solace's smile has changed from diplomatic to content. But Kagerus isn't done there; feeling of fingertips on her skin and a breeze in place which had just been rather constricted, and she doesn't have to look down to know exactly what had happened. Returning the cigarette to her lips, she takes another long drag as she watches an intoxicated girl kiss Kag (who happens to still be attached to her at the hip) right on the lips. The girl is gone as quick as she came, and with a slow exhale, Solace returns her gaze to her equally intoxicated half-sister and her would-be-beau as if the incident had never happened.
"You two make a cute couple," she suggests with a sly smile after Ivar's quip as her lithe, pale fingers dance along the back of her neck to replace the clasp on her dress to its proper place. Her cleavage once again secured, she turns to her twin who has appeared with a pretty girl on his arm at some point during the swirl of activity. "Oh Svedka, you should know I've already promised two different women that a date with you will be up for auction at the benefit next month," she leans in to put one of his wayward golden locks behind his ear, the other hand holding what remains of her cigarette off to the side. "Hope you don't mind, they are really looking forward to a bidding war," she smiles, knowing full well he won't.
"Well, I got what I came up here for," she concludes to the group at large with a final drag, before tucking the butt of her clove into the soil of the nearest topiary. Smoothing her dress and glancing around the pool at all the faces one more time, Hyaline's CEO takes note of the up and coming donors she will be wooing in five years or so.
"Make some friends Kag," she says with a kiss (much lighter this time) "I'll be back up for you in an hour or so," before sauntering back towards the elevator.
Parties like this didn't come around every day. She had a job to do, and Solace Orion-Rhae would be damned if she didn't do it spectacularly.
