[Since Maya is the de facto hostess of this party she… can’t exactly escape from it. She stays off to the side, observing from a distance. She does her best to exude calm but… judging by the white-knuckled grip on her sword, that’s probably not all there is to the story.
Every now and again, she does duck into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She sips it as she watches the door, wary of any unauthorized visitors. Hester may have gotten an invitation, but she certainly won’t stand for the Wizard showing up. Not that she thinks he can, all things considered. Nevertheless, she lingers at the edges of the party, on edge but not entirely unapproachable, at least?
As things wind down for the evening, she’ll offer to collect plates and mugs, and then busy herself with doing the dishes. She’ll be there either until she’s done with the dishes, or when the doors are forced to close for the evening. Only then does she step out and excuse herself to the dance studio.
It feels wrong to be here, considering what they found just this morning. But it also feels wrong not to keep practicing. It isn’t enough to say she will defend her class, she has to have the ability to do so. Besides… who really needs sleep?]
