dndshs | [LOG] The Annual LaDonna Drink Night

Who: Bianca and Doris, along with other higher class families
What: A liquor family like the LaDonnas is bound to have nights for free samples, or general brand promotion. A formal dress event, where families of prestige and their children are free to familiarize themselves with the LaDonna family and drink.
When: Sometime mid-winter, on a friday evening
Where: LaDonna mansion, outside of school.

This party happened every year, and with each year the number of attendees seemed to grow. Usually Doris shrugged off this event. Not enough people brought their kids with them, and she had quickly learned the consequences of getting fresh with those older than her. Maybe this year wouldn't be so boring. It was nice, at least, that her parents let her drink at this event.

Both Doris and Bianca are on the main floor, dressed most definitely to impress. Both daughters are expected to be social butterflies tonight, but so far Doris has been off to the side, emptying and refilling her drinking glass. Bianca is covering a lot of the floor, trying to make sure she greets every new guest that comes in.

Lawrence could feel the burning in his cheeks and pointedly looked away from her. Thank god she was wearing something appropriate this time.
"'Fun' is hardly the word I would use for it." He looked down into his glass and swirled the contents. The ice was just beginning to melt. "But you would assume correctly. This isn't particularly the type of event at which I...shall we say 'excel'."

"My father was more enthusiastic about coming here than I was." He glared across the room at an older blond man, as he spoke. In what could be written off as an act of spite he raised his glass to his lips and threw back a good portion of it, hiding a grimace as it went down.

Doris was just about to say something about him ordering a drink, but paused as he drank. She glanced around him to see who he was talking about. She did a bit of a double take upon seeing his father. They looked way too similar to her. "Well, you still tagged along. I'm grateful for that."

She took a long sip from her drink, and stared at Lawrence's now partially-empty glass. She did a small pout as she glanced back up. "Y'know, we're outside of school now. Lying to me is unnecessary, especially about drinking." She leaned forward a bit, as if trying to get a closer look at him. "You certainly didn't order that just to make me smile."

"I can assure you that you, personally, had nothing to do with it. It would have been insulting of me to attend a liquor showcase for a family whose main product is bourbon and whiskey and not sample some of their premiere bourbon or whiskey." Lawrence frowned down at his drink before just deciding to finish it. To hell with it, he might as well.

"And as with the last time we spoke, you are misinterpreting my words. Nothing that I have said has been untrue."

"Well, sugar, I'm part of that family you're trying to impress." She winked, downing more from her cup. She was handling the drink really well, from the looks of it. It's not the first time she's had this much to drink, and it won't be the last.

She drank the last contents of her glass, trying to fix her bangs with her free hand. "Pure honesty is a very hard thing to act out, y'know. In the meantime..." She raised her glass, swirling the ice with a loose shake. "...how about a refill? I'll get you something better than that last one."

"Being polite and trying to impress are two entirely different things." And speaking of which, he couldn't rightly refuse the offer for another drink from one of the hosting family members. So he huffed through his nose, and swept one hand toward the bar.
"After you, Miss LaDonna." He said dryly.
