Ivy fidgeted nervously through the entire ceremony, nearly tripping over her own feet when she was called up to receive her license. It was a relief once the admittedly small audience was ushered away; she'd never been comfortable in spotlights, even when sharing them with five other people apparently. The fact that the dress she'd borrowed from her sister was at least two sizes too big and this was the longest she'd spent in dress shoes since she'd graduated from school wasn't helping things.
Her fellow pilgrims seemed to sort of gravitate to one another when Coralei'd finished speaking; a rather stern blonde woman was the only other not engaged with anyone and Ivy briefly considered introducing herself, but frankly she was incredibly intimidating. Instead she slipped off, careful to avoid making eye contact with the overeager photographer, and gathered a small plate of berry bits skewered with toothpicks.
She'd been distracted when Theo wandered up, idly wondering if it would be rude to let Gingham out of her pokeball, and swallowed the rawst berry she'd been about to bite into whole. She sputtered for a moment, but quickly grinned and shifted her plate to extend a hand towards Theo.
"Oh, h-hi! Nice to meet you, I'm I...vy...?"
The impromptu rock performance pulled her attention away, her mouth slightly agape until she turned back to the blessedly sane-seeming Theo with a nervous little laugh. "I'm Ivy. Wait, sorry, already said that. Quite the um...eclectic group we have, huh?"
