Anneliese fidgeted in her spot, actually unable to stay still for more than a few seconds at a time. She felt anxious about being here to begin with, so that mixed in with her five month pregnancy emotions just sort of created this hyped up, nervous form of herself. She really couldn't help it! But she at least was trying to internalize everything in some vain attempt to look like she wasn't thinking about what she was actually thinking about.

Will had convinced her that going to this gala would be a good way of getting their minds off of everything that was happening now, but Anneliese still wasn't completely comfortable with it. Emmeline was in a lot of pain because of what had happened to Frank and Alice, and of course being far from Henry didn't settle well now that they were back in England.

But--- she had to stop. Concentrating on all these stressful things was not healthy for her, or the baby, not to mention she couldn't let herself effect Will. She had noticed his rather sober, or perturbed mood as of late, and the last thing she wanted was to throw him off anymore than he already was.

So. She was going to take a deep breath, and try to relax. Following her own instructions, Anneliese took a long breath and closed her eyes for a few moments. Maybe she should try to take in the happy people around her, and channel that. Yes, that would be a good start. People watching always distracted her well.

"Look," Anneliese spoke, taking the time to nudge Will in the chest with her hand. "It's the new Magpie captain over there--- and the old one over there. Oh-- and the other old one all the way over."
