New Year's Eve Soiree

[sandsofchaos]

Jennifer had put in extra overtime for this - though Set himself had arranged the servers, made of sand and storm - but the stage was set. The glossy black bar was stocked fully with any kind of alcohol you could ever desire, including a selection of Egyptian microbrews. To the right of it, the dessert bar - staffed by two lithe, sloe-eyed girls - has any sweet you might desire, from a chocolate fountain to creme brulee to a dense raspberry torte.

There are the low couches by the windows, where the waiters pass with French champagne and canapes regularly, and for those who don't mind the chill, there are the vast decks just outside, where you can appreciate the sight of New York on this night, or...possibly find some privacy for that New Year's kiss.

"He can be so sensitive at times. The poor thing." She smiles a little impishly. "How have you been yourself?"

"Oh, smashing. I should make another million dollars by Wednesday. And you, Lady Dawn? Are you well?"

"I'm glad you're doing so well for yourself, Set." She replies with a smile. "Very well, thank you. Work keeps me busy but I do love it so."

He smiles. "Yes, I've seen you on the television in the morning when I'm having coffee. You do very well."

That earns him a bright smile. "Oh, good. I always like hearing feedback from my viewers. Thank you."

"How long have you been doing that?" Set asked, settling back. He's always curious about other gods who are living among humankind.

"About two years now. Worked my way up until I got the co-anchor position." She follows his action and rests back against the sofa, clearly pleased at his interest.

"Fascinating," Set said with a smile. "I began this particular incarnation at Goldman Sachs, if you can believe it. Gives me a nice polish of believable expertise."

"Oh, it definitely does and shows." Another little sip of champagne. "I'm glad that business is going so well for you."

"Yes, it does make things more benjoyable, in general." He smiled as he rose off the couch. "We really must get together sometime when our schedules permit, Aurora. We can't be meeting constantly at parties like this, after all. Call me for dinner."

She nods emphatically, pleased at the idea. "That sounds delightful, Set. I shall definitely arrange something with you when we're both free."

Set smiles as he bends over her hand. "I look forward to it at the earliest opportunity, my dear."

She smiles prettily at the gesture. "You're quite the charmer. I've always liked that about you."
