Good, so he was out of his element as well... Good, good. As long as they were both acting out of the ordinary, there was no issue with it, right? Well, there was, because it was annoying and uncomfortable, but... there was no way they could make fun of each other, and that was the most important thing. If she had to hear about this again from him in the future, Juliet might have killed herself on the spot.
Despite how awkward it made her feel, she watched Rhys as he fidgeted around and finally pulled out a pack of cigarettes, in that moment not really caring that she had long ago demanded he drop smoking as punishment for getting her pregnant (well, also for the twins, but mostly for her suffering). Hell, she could use one too right about then, as she certainly needed something to bring her head back into reality and sense.
As he spoke, Juliet forced herself to focus on his voice, nodding stiffly a couple of times, not even thinking of how little she desired to see Theo. No, the only thing that mattered was to get away from the reception and out of this strange air and go... home and be normal. Because honestly, she wasn't sure how much more of this torture she could take.
"Yes, I-- let's go, then," she said softly, already stepping forward as she spoke. An awkward near-afterthought, she reached out to grab Rhys's arm as she walked past, and ushered them both out of the reception area as quickly as possible, not a word to their former companions. It did not matter. She just wished to leave.
