[Naminé would have to say the same, really. She'd been thoroughly taken aback to receive notice that she'd been arranged a blind date; she'd heard about the idea, yes, but she certainly hadn't signed herself up. She's still bewildered as to how this happened - or rather, who the culprit was, but... she'd intended to come to this event anyway (perhaps simply because it had been so long since she'd had the chance to be around others and not have to worry, or maybe just because it was an opportunity presented to her exclusively in the tower, and somewhat rare even then), and, truthfully, she couldn't find it in herself to stand her 'date' up, as severely awkward and embarrassing as this situation is.]
[She can only hope it'll be someone who'll understand she doesn't intend this to be romantic, for a lot of reasons obvious to her but difficult to explain to others without letting slip things she'd rather not. So when she enters the party, paper clutched carefully in her hand, she's quietly nervous. She'd like to get this overwith as soon as possible, but then she catches sight of Riku, and-- well, she can't very well ignore him, right? (And really, she's glad to see him out and about and actually around other people.) Heading his direction, she tries to focus on greeting him rather than the situation, and works out a smile that's a lot more genuine than it could be, thanks to him.]
