“Fancy party we have, uh, here.” Nervous laughter. Of course Nell laughs nervously before taking another generous sip of her punch. And of course the supermodel has to be in the vicinity while Myungdae and Alfred are busy carrying out their part of the plan. And of course the model had to recognize Myungdae earlier. And of course Nell now has to distract make small talk to said model while playing the waiting game as the Black Knight sets up the connection between the mainframe and her iPad.

How else could this possibly go wrong?

Another sip of the punch. “Uh, this is pretty good…punch? I can…I’ll get you a glass if you want.”

( also more nell vs small talk content...this time she gotta go lie to hyun since hyun already probably knows myungdae is up to no good JKFLSDJF :'D )

Hyun's initial reaction is, unfortunately, instant displeasure and latent distrust. The displeasure isn't even all too misplaced, not in her field, not with her notoriety, and sadly enough, not with her social standing.

She has no idea who this foreigner is and while her Korean is perfect enough to suggest she may not be one at all, to Hyun and her world she may as well be. Her face is completely dissociated from any magazine covers and brand deals Hyun had memorized throughout the years, bombarded by her agent with 'this could be you's and 'this should be you's and whatever other phrase was supposed to function as incentive to get her to make them more money from yet another angle.

No actress. No model. Beautiful, yes, but natural, not as expensively pronounced as Hyun is.

The appropriate response for someone of Hyun's status is to, well, lift her chin, meet the woman's eyes solely to show and underline herself turning away again, and move on with the rest of her night.

Unfortunately for her marketing and fortunately for herself, Hyun only understands 'appropriate' as an adjective attached to morals that are actually morals... and not the rules of this little game.

"Do you speak English?" is the counter-question Hyun poses as she steps closer. There's some bias here, potentially, to pose the question just because her sudden conversation partner doesn't look traditionally South Korean, so to speak, but she shall continue to merely yearn the answer is yes.

"A lot of powerful girls here tonight don't, so...," she steps one final step to rest her hand on the woman's upper arm and lean in. "If you think this is fancy, then you must allow me to tell you how ugly it is," she smiles, and glows in perfect make-up, expensive Aeri clothing, and the sparkle of bejeweled earrings that annoy her every time they brush against her neck.

She looks around, conspiratorial.

"Also, I saw a suspicious looking person earlier and wanted to keep an eye on him, but I completely lost him in the crowd," she looks into the woman's startled - and admittedly stunning - dark brown eyes and chalks up her nerves to an environment she doesn't seem particularly used to.

She plucks the glass she's holding out of her hand. "The punch is mediocre at best. Allow me to lead you to a table with better alcohol. Now, as for that person, did you see anyone who looked out of place? Came with a cane, weird look in his eyes. Suggested I break into Samsung."
