White frowned slightly as the diminutive brunette occupied a piece of wall next to him, although he didn't actually divert his attention her way immediately. A brief surge of movement in the crowd was assessed and dismissed in short order, a moment of eye contact between himself and Nadejda Talanov, as she unconsciously checked that her safety net was still in place. Seeing White she returned her attention to the party.
Finally, White took a sip of whiskey and turned a brief glance to Danika, just as the woman grew a few inches shorter. Water. Responsible, at least. He took another shallow sip of whiskey before setting the glass next to the near-empty bottle he'd gotten from the barkeep before crossing his arms. Some felt that such a gesture was a subtle hint that one was closed to conversation and interaction, but in White's case, it was just a comfortable way to stand.
"I take it you are not like most of these people."
He freed a hand briefly to iddly gesture to the gathered party-goers; musicians and their ilk. "No offense. Most don't bother talking to my kind."
Some guests were embroiled in conversations with some of the other bodyguards, enthralled by their fake or stolen stories of past action.
