Still not quite at ease, Peggy's smile had begun to falter when Rosemary Scardino approached. "Oh, thank you," she said graciously, taking the glass and looking down at its contents a moment. Just a moment, though, because then she had to give Rosemary a smile and look around again, comparing Atlantis' decor to a fish bowl in her mind. "I'm not sure what I anticipated, to be quite honest," she said softly. As her gaze passed over Airey Flamsteed not far away, she frowned. Was he licking the wall?

That...that couldn't be normal, even for him, right? She wondered if she should say something. It was probably harmless, though. She'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

The folks who worked in Mysteries were pretty eccentric anyway, in her opinion.

Gabriel was on high alert and his best behavior. Not that he wasn't usually, lately, but Missa was here...somewhere, and Brody was here, and the new department head was here. So he was on extra good behavior. Nothing could go wrong.

And it was a fancy party, so of course he'd dressed up. For Brody's sake, of course. He didn't particularly care if he wore a suit or dress robes or jeans, but he had to make Brody look good.

Left eyebrow raised slightly, he kept his head on a slow swivel as he exited the submarine ahead of Brody into a cavern, taking in...everything. Everyone's fancy clothes, the fish and merpeople in their bubbles, this music. It was...honestly amazing. His mother would be SO jealous if she knew he was here. Honestly, the rest of his family probably would, too. It was a far cry from the rainforest, but something about the enclosed space, the vibrant colors, and the dim lighting felt like home. His shoulders lowered a bit as he relaxed, taking a deep breath and smiling at his boyfriend.

"This is magnificent," he commented softly, as though the other man had had anything to do with it. Oh- was that fellow Auror Ronan sitting at a table? He waved. Maybe he and Brody should go over there.
