[Since she had spoken with Allen a little earlier, Wanda was able to fairly easily identify Clay, even through his fancy formal attire and mask. Wanda smiles, when she catches sight of him. It felt like it had been a while since she last had the chance to talk with Clay, so she slowly makes her way over to him. She wasn't sure exactly just how well her own outfit and change of hairstyle disguised her identity, but it would be fun to test with Clay. She makes sure to stay just out of his line of sight, until she's walked up right next to him. Trying to sound a little more older and sophisticated, she clears her throat to announce her presence and smiles politely at Clay.]

May I join you?

[He had actually been talking to a local about this whole place before Wanda gets his attention, and he excuses himself as he -

Huh. He... doesn't actually recognize her at first, and it shows. He tilts his head a bit, his smile looking a bit lost because he knows she looks familiar, and - oh. Oh! He knows her! His eyes light up a bit in recognition.]

Wanda! Yeah, of course - [He spreads his hands to gesture to her dress] You look beautiful!

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She giggles softly, a small, girlish smile on her face. Clearly happy with herself that she managed to trick Clay for even a moment. She lifts her mask slightly, resting it on her forehead.]

Thank you. You are looking very regal yourself.

[She takes the seat next to him.]

I ran into Allen earlier, and he said you were around. I had to see if I could find you for myself.

[And Clay lifts up his own mask as well, because man, he's already tired of wearing the thing. But he grins, taking a bit of pride in that "regal" comment, and shifts a bit to get more comfortable.]

Well, you found me! I'm surprised you recognized me with the mask on! [Clay your hair is super iconic okay] These kind of social events aren't really my thing, but - well, Allen wanted a dance or two, so why not?

[Wanda grins back at Clay. The hair was a bit of a give-away, but Allen had also given her enough to know what to look out for. Not to mention, well, Wanda still did have her psychic powers. While she was not actively using them to read minds like before, they were always on to a certain, very low degree, making it somewhat easier to pick people out in a crowd.]

It sounds like we have that in common then. I am not much into these types of parties either. Though, in fairness, this is only my first... perhaps I just have to warm up to it?
