Istredd didn't end up needing to be rescued, which was nice, although it's mostly because he is getting very good at hovering near people he knows and staying there. He is not a social butterfly and never will be. He did politely speak to some new people, including a new Summoned he had no idea about, and he was nice enough. He danced with both Kell and Lenore too, he attempted to mingle and overall, it worked out.
He had a huge spike of jealousy after witnessing what he thought was Kyle about to kiss Lucifer on the dance floor, which he was wrong about, but the sight still surprised him enough to interrupt his dance with Kell. It did make things a little awkward, since in that dance Kell was talking about how happy they looked together. Which they were. They are. So that spike was smoothed out and he didn't let it bother him.
Much.
Definitely after all of that though Istredd is relieved to get back to their room and not have to talk with anyone else, strangers or friends. "I'd ask if you gauge all social engagements by that measurement, but I know that you do." Istredd smiles and kisses his cheek sweetly before walking by. He is very careful as he takes off his lovely blue jacket, folding it delicately over the back of a chair, having promised Natasha to be careful with the clothes she picked out.
"I was feeling guilty about not greeting the new Summoned, but it turns out we only had two, and I've met them both now." So it worked out, overall.
