[ rey and kylo actually manage to clean up well, by some miracle. they arrive together to the restaurant, rey stiff in the shoulders and looking all the part a fish out of water, not quite touching but close enough to make it apparent that kylo ren is the closest thing she has to a security blanket for this social interaction.
she has a leather jacket pulled on over her cocktail dress, stubbornly, and black flats on instead of heels to ruin the overall fashionable affect she has tried to cobble together. it's better than she could usually manage. when they enter through the doors, rey ducks around kylo and the doorman and makes an over-eager effort to search out daisy and illya first thing.
[ kylo's bike is already parked outside the restaurant by the time the taxi pulls to a stop in front. they're not running that late, maybe five minutes or so, but she feels bad all the same — after all, it doesn't take a shrink to know that rey's probably panicking a little by now, standing in the restaurant looking for the others. honestly, daisy's a little surprised she hasn't gotten a worried text at this point.
but thankfully, the small foyer and the bemused receptionist help to make quick work of locating her friend, and so it only takes a few minutes for daisy to reach the other girl, a hand reaching out to curl around rey's fingers and tug for her attention. ]
Hey, [ quiet, reassuring, as rey's neck cranes to look in the other direction. ] Sorry we're late.
[ they weren't that late. just slightly late and it could be blamed on the unpredictable transportation in this city rather than anything else.
so, before too long, he's sliding into a seat at the table, giving rey a quick nod and something close to a smile before his gaze settles on the other man. tall (but not as tall as him) and stony in a way that illya recognizes because it is an expression that he puts forth quite a bit. ]
Hello.
[ an all around good greeting there. one word but it says so much so he doesn't have to immediately jump into being a conversationalist since he is terrible at that. ]
Good to see you again. I'm glad you wore the dress.
[ it had taken them some time to locate the right one, after all, but he'd wondered if she'd wear it or go with something more comfortable. ]

it'd be nice to avoid speaking to anyone. ]
