Garrett widened his eyes when he had seen a single woman rise from her seat and walk towards him. He had sensed the woman hadn't been human either.She's Rose?,he thought to himself. He had actually wanted his fiancé to arrive later, that way he would be able to socialize with the others.
His suspicions had been confirmed when she had held out her arm in greeting. Nervousness fumed within his system, as he tried to control it. Just as he had been about to shake her hand, the snake, Envy, had slithered onto his hand. Oh, joy. He pursed his lips sealed and bit his tongue with his canines. Anger bubbled up within him. Garrett disliked pets. Always will. And it just wasn't any pet. It was a snake. One of the most dangerous reptiles in the world. At least to him they were. Garrett fought back the urge to slap the snake off his hand and walk off, far,far away from the scene and forget it ever happened. Forget. The thought of manipulating Rose's memory to do things at his leisure had briefly passed by his mind. Garrett mentally shook his head. He would have time to deal with that later. He looked down at the snake and back at Rose, smiling nervously."She doesn't warm up to people so easily...Especially men." He opened his mouth to speak in response, though the only thing he could utter was the simple uhh's and umm's. He had apparently failed this test to please the woman and glanced once at the other two for any sign of a distraction, though he doubted any would provide one. Dammit. Of all times to have a snake slither up your hand. Why now?Of course, they had all been here for one main reason. Get to know your life-long partner and learn to like 'em. And he could tell that they had been awaiting the arrival of their fiancés these past few moments.
