[it's the promise of fireworks that really draws her, though people gathering at all was welcome. It's almost felt like home, with the food and the crowd and the music (however unskilled) and she found herself stepping to the side more to soak it in than to avoid the press of people.
Soon, she'd step back in.... maybe ask someone to show her how the video games worked or try to cajole Archie into singing (not that she predicted success in that venue). And she'd definitely stay to watch the fireworks. But for this moment, at least, she nurses a (mostly untouched) drink and just enjoys the atmosphere itself.
Dwarfed in clothes that look much too big for her slight frame, and already overshadowed by a mostly taller crowd, she might be easy to miss...but she's alright with that. When she's ready, she's sure she'll be able to move back into the action without missing a step]
