Cissie couldn't help a dry laugh when she heard his reaction. She was standing nearby, mostly keeping to the edges of the room and taking stock of the contents and the people around her, but the party itself was honestly kind of baffling.

"Right?" she asked, shaking her head. "It's like Saturday night in the dorms. I was expecting something... a little fancier, honestly."

Not that she'd dressed up for it; jeans, a t-shirt and sneakers were all these people were going to get from her for a while, at least until she stopped feeling perpetually threatened. Getting basically kidnapped (even if apparently for her own good) will do that to a girl.
