He’d spotted her long before she comes their way. Not so subtle his blue eyes had followed her each and every move, at least as far as was possible from his place near Brennen. Though he is a social creature, he never had been a good at parties and this amount of people around to socialize with. Especially not after these past few months.
Ice had welcomed him back, but at what cost? It is no secret that Brynmor is not yet himself, but little by little he is doing better. All thanks to Ice, and the people that work there. Yet another reason for him to wander off into the mass of people. He needs help to keep him grounded. And that means no straying off to cause havoc. Who knows what will happen once he does get intoxicated? Brynmor’s biggest fear is for his demons to come back when he is lest able to fight them.
Fuck. What is he even doing here? He is no part of the family, and he barely knows anybody around. Except for those he knew from Ice, of course. So that is basically Brennen, Nihlus and a couple of other familiar faces he can count on one single hand. Not a lot at all. He politely greets everyone that whose gaze meets his. The first real smile – well after greeting Brennen – is when Nihlus appears. ”How have you been?” he asks the tall male as they shake hands. Their greeting is less exuberant, but that’s probably only because of his own stiffy attitude. Clearly someone – he – had to loosen up a little.
But perhaps later was a better time. For only a short moment he had focussed on the barbeque – which was a pretty good excuse to not have to socialize too much, if you’d ask him – and when he looks up he finds himself staring into Xiah’s grey eyes. No relaxing allowed now.
They’d only vaguely met, but he does remember how she had turned her back on him. It was her good right to leave Ice and make a living on her own, but that hadn’t made the conversation any more fun. Brynmor had asked her to stay, because the company is part of her and her family. But it simply hadn’t been Brynmor’s place to offer her a position. That, she should’ve asked another.
He listens to her rant, obviously already intoxicated on some level. Unlike Brennen, he does not know her father. He’d only found a position at Ice after Errant had redrawn from his position as head. Does not mean Brynmor does not know of him. Any other time he would’ve looked forward to meeting the man, but not in this state. The terrors of his down period clearly still affected him.
”Xiah.” Voice more cut off than he’d meant to sound. Forcing a smile out he tucks his hands in the pockets of his dress pants, nodding his head lightly at her. ”How has Chamber Corp been to you? You look good.” There was no way for him to deny that. She looks more a live now, than the day she left Ice. Maybe it had been a good decision after all.

Forgive me this rubbish. I clearly don't know how to do mass threads XD
