Apha arrived at the gift table a minute or so after Nicoli, arms crossed over her chest as she took in the gifts the Minister and Clara Belle were getting. She rolled her eyes, and shook her head as she approached Nicoli, her eyes darting around quickly, before resting on the man again, and following the direction he was facing.

'Do you zink zere's going to be trouble from Rae and Branxton?' she asked, turning her eyes back to Nicoli. She still couldn't understand why the Minister didn't want his own family at his wedding. She knew that, if she had any siblings and got married, they'd be the first on her list.
