Snapping her head up at the familiar voice, Rowan looked up to see... Leon? Her mouth moved faster than her brain - for once - and she got out a Shocked "Leon? I..." before realizing that unless Leon suddenly got the urge to change his clothing mid-party, this must be the other Shaw twin.

"Oh! Gael! Nah, the party's still going. I just needed to come out and have a cigarette and drink much more than I already have..." She looked at her lighter and sighed before actually lighting a cigarette.

"So... um, how are you?" Obviously Rowan knew that there was some stuff going on between Leon and Gael right now, but she was certainly not going to be the one to bring it up. Not while she was trying to get massively drunk and save her evening.

When he heard Rowan say Leon's name, Gael faltered. He'd known his twin was here, of course, but he hadn't really thought about it until now. And Rowan had just mixed them up, so clearly they looked well enough alike... Well, of course they did. They're identical twins. But what if someone else--

And then he found himself relaxing a little. He gave her a cheeky grin and held up an imaginary glass in toast. "Cheers to that." And suddenly he wished he had a flask so that he could take a drink.

"Drunk!" He beamed, though it might have been slightly strained. "How're you?"

"Not nearly drunk enough." She muttered it into her cup as she took a drink. It was said with one of those 'you don't even want to know' tones of voice, a bit of irony thrown in as well. Rowan was never really one to get plastered at parties. She was a social drinker, not one of those who liked to just drink until they passed out. But now? After that experience? She wanted to be a giddy mess.

After the drink she looked up and smiled at Gael. "But I hope to fix that soon. Head on in, get a drink, join the crowd in having a good time. That's what I'm hoping to do at the bottom of this glass." She took a drag from the cigarette and exhaled slowly. "Sorry. I'm just in kind of a weird place right now. How was your holiday?"

He gave a sharp laugh that was a perfect match to the tone of her voice. He completely sympathized with the feeling. Leon was the one who went all out at the parties, Gael just went to have a little harmless fun. But after what his brother had told him, he wanted to throw caution to the wind.

"No need to apologize, I understand completely." He gave her a half smile of sympathy in return. "I'm feeling the same as you right now, so you can take a guess as to how my holidays went. Yours?"
