I took a moment to freshen up before returning to the party in the main area, taking some time to return to mingling as I walked around and made small talk with whomever seemed the most interested, getting a feel of the room and the partygoers and ensuring no one was thinking something suspicious of me thanks to Ahsad.
Spending too much time with one person and then suddenly returning on my own was a but suspicious if people actually were paying attention to me, but thankfully the liquor was flowing just right enough and the music was just upbeat enough that everyone was lost in their own little bubbles as they danced and drank without restraint.
A few were getting a bit too close to be just dancing, and an even smaller number were giggling together as they went up the stairs and entered the second level of the mansion, which was apparently reserved for those hoping to make this into a special party worthy of some memories, so long as you got the approval of a guard to do so.
