Beau's generally speaking very wary of people. She doesn't trust easily and sometimes only trusts in a very specific way, despite seeming to get along with people. But she does take an interest in how other people interact with those she cares about. And "those she cares about" include one fey creature more often in the guise of an orange cat.

So she watches the guy pet Frumpkin, curious at first and then deciding to make a move.

"Don't like the party?" Maybe she comes off a little brusque, but that's just her natural charm.

The accent is all wrong, but her voice, and the way she talks, makes Jon think immediately of Daisy. He's almost hopeful for a second as he looks up from the cat, but--No. Of course it wouldn't be her.

He clears his throat and stands up straight again, leaving Frumpkin to twine around his legs.

"No, I--It's actually been quite a while since I went to one. Other than the ones I've felt compelled to attend here." And he is keenly aware that he hasn't exactly been invited, and he's lost sight of anyone here that might know him. "It's sort of nice to see people enjoying themselves with their clothes on."

Maybe he shouldn't have said that last part.

[flurry_of_beaus]

Beau makes a little grunting noise, probably an acknowledgment and agreement with what he's said, but it's still a noise not a straight answer.

It's not until after she's had a sip of her drink that she decides to grin ruefully.

"Yeah, well, give it a few hours and we'll see where Molly's at, right? Don't trust him not to get naked at any opportunity."

[recordingends]

Jon... would not be surprised if it were Mollymauk that started losing clothes first. He doesn't look like he has a lot to start with, so it's not really a far leap. And he feels a bit of heat creep into his face, which he tries to just will away. Ridiculous.

"No, I can imagine that he... would be the person to start it."

Jon takes a drink from his cup, maybe deeper than he has been. The last time he got drunk he ended up in bed with another man called John and that--isn't something he's terribly keen to repeat. But he could probably stand to be less suspicious over here against the wall.

"Oh, uhm. I'm Jonathan." She sounds like she's familiar with Molly, so he adds, "Do you know everyone that lives here?"

[flurry_of_beaus]

Beau raises an eyebrow. Slight color to his cheeks, a long drink off his cup. Beau's got a feeling that this guy has feelings about Molly, of some sort. She assumes the sexy kind, but she wouldn't be surprised by something else.

"Beau." She nods her head in a bit of a jerking motion instead of offering her hand.

"I live here, too. I'm one of the Mighty Nein. So, yeah, everybody."

[recordingends]

Jon returns the nod, rather appreciating that she doesn't try to touch him. He'd shake her hand, of course, but he's also not disappointed to not have to.

"The Mighty Nine?" he echoes, and he absently tries to count the people that seem to know each other. He gives up sooner than later: there's too many, and he has no idea what their ties to each other are.

"I think I've only met Mollymauk," he says after a moment. "Oh--does Essek live here?"

Jon's pretty sure he saw him earlier. That would be two.

[flurry_of_beaus]

There's that slight, tell-tale pause where someone clearly is confused by the number of persons in their group, counting them up in their head and wondering. But, in this instance, maybe because she's a little tipsy and doesn't care about the guy yet, she doesn't correct him and explain.

"Essek lives next door now," she says. "He's Nein-adjacent."

Adopted into. A friend. These are things she could say, but they still in her throat. It's still too soon after their conversation to use such terms.
