Lylli's eyes would scan the crowd hearing Nogueera's last words. "Yeah..." her heart dank a littlr. She brought her hands up to her arms wrapping them around her chest as though a chill suddenly took hold of her.
"If you'll excuse me..." she gave a plesant enough smile, " This is my event after all." Her voice trailed off as she made her way back towards the party.
She gave a smile and nod to those who would pass her by. Several crew members stopping to clasp her shoulder, thanking her as they passed by. Her eyes would catch Commander Bonham having snuck in and people seeming to avoid him. She sighed knowing it must be tough. She made her way to grab a cup filled with warn apple cider and approach him slowly, "Commander Bonham. ...sir?"
She would extend her hand that clasped the warm beverage. She tried to give him a smile knowing how hard it was to loose everything. She assumed he might be feeling out of sorts after the loss of Lt. Kinchlirah and the 'accident'. She figured the grounding had also probably taken much of his purpose. "Here..." she spoke softly handing the drink over. "I'm glad you were able to make it..." she said. She turned about to watch the crowd, "quite the turn out..." she kept the conversation light, bringing her own drink to her lips blowing on it.
