"The Alice Woodcarving? Good choice, Ms. Tetch. I try to stay away myself, they tend to be boring parties." Logan scanned the crowd again and noticed Selina, he didn't entirely recognize her but something about her scent felt off to him. At seeing Lex he sighed, "Oh great." Lorina laughed and looked about the party. Most of the attendants were bored, or too tipsy/drunk to entirely care. "They are. But every once in awhile a little gem will pop up.""ah yes it is a lovely piece to be sure, I am here simply for a night of entertainment and to benefit a worthy cause. One cant spend all day coped up in an office or refuse give back to their fellow man, some people might consider them a monster" Lex said so Logan could hear. "So how about this for a deal. You keep me entertained and I will help you make certain you take home that woodcarving?"Lex kept digging into Logan's mind as much as he could finding as much as he could. Lorina tilted her head to the side and looked to Lex "Or young girl in need. And I must say..deal."

Lorina tilted her head to the side and looked to Lex "Or young girl in need. And I must say..deal."Lex smiled snatched the bottle of absinthe and offered his arm to Lorina. "I'll bring the drinks let find a place to sit and chat shall we" Lex looked over at Julian, Eve, and Damien "but if you will bare with me first we must check in on my friend and my assistant. My friend seems to have lost control of a situation"

Lorina unlinked arms with him and took the bottle of absinthe back. "Uninterested. You have problems with one of your employees? I don't care about being arm candy while I wait. Yeesh."
She looked back at the woodcarving, hoping that the bidding would start soon. "Whenever you're done I'm up for a chat."

Lex smiled at Lorina, he was really enjoying her spunk and attitude. "fair enough Lorina I wont be very long, I promise" Lex turned and left and as he did Lex's smile faded into his normal cold business like demeanor. He Walked directly towards Damien Julian and Eve not happy that Julian had lost control of the situation and he had to come get Eve back. When Lex got to the group he looked down at the man a foot shorter than him, "Frost, Alexander Frost and you are?"

"Damien Howlett" he could smell the angry, even the best trained men couldn't mask that smell, "Board of Directors at Head Industries" He offered his hand for a shake, adding a popped eyebrow, "I was just getting... acquainted with your associates "

Eve took Lex's hand before Damien could and moved to Lex's side. "So how are you doing tonight Mr. Howlett? I was hoping to speak with you soon" Lex told him with feeling his normal aristocratic air come over him again

"Self proclaimed?" Damien said with a smile, "Yes, I did plan on speaking with you as well, you've worked with my grandfather before i believe" Damien was certain that Lex was aware of the less than legal side of his family business, "But i was hoping to speak with my father tonight, perhaps we could schedule a meeting" Damien with drew a card from his pocket, "If you'd like, I'm sure we will have matters to discuss" his voice dropping slightly as he handed over the card.

Lorina placed the bottle of absinthe onto the counter and looked back to Logan. "Bartending your own parties? I like your style. Any chance your might have a special absinthe glass and spoon? I've got some time to kill."

"I am certain we will have much to speak about, I will make sure to call you personally to set up a meeting Damien, Now I'll leave you to enjoy your evening" Lex takes the card and puts it in his pocket and turns and walks away with Teschmacher on his arm. Julian decided mingle some more walked away. Hoping to get a chance to meet and talk to Logan to learn how he knows Dark Claw. Julian is a hero fan boy. Lex whispered in Eve's ear as they walked back towards Lorina.

Logan was eying Daken now, especially since he was talking to Lex, he had to be careful to not expose himself as Dark Claw rather than just an eccentric.
"I think I've got something back here. Let me take a look," Logan said looking back at Lorina for the moment.

Lorina watched as Logan turned around to grab the drinks. Not the worst view in the place. She lifted her eyebrows then turned her attention to the stage again. If things didn't go her way that evening she certainly make it go her way.

As Lex made his way back towards Lorina, Eve left his side and walked over towards where wanda was sitting. Eve smiled her bright pretty polite smile and took a seat near wanda. "good evening I'm Eve, Eve Teschmacher how are you tonight?" she smiled took a drink off a tray and sipped waiting for an answer.

"Wanda Zatanna, and other then a little bored I'm just fine." Replied Wanda, smiling politely back. "And yourself?" "Nice to meet you, and tell me about these types of things are always boring and tedious especially with all these rich big wigs that aren't use to hearing no, always making comments and slapping and pinching your ass. my ass gets sore just thinking about it every time Lex tells me I have to accompany him to one of these things" Eve told Wanda jokingly as she drank and relaxed/

"So you work for Lex Frost do you?" Wanda asked, a frown forming. "Sounds like fun." She added sarcastically.

"So you work for Lex Frost do you?" Wanda asked, a frown forming. "Sounds like fun." She added sarcastically. "oh yeah but he only lets certain people call him Lex. I've been with him for years since he started really. working I mean I've been working with him since he started. Its pretty fun and hectic I pretty much am the go between for everyone. I handle all the information sent to Lex and i sort through it so that only the most essential things make it through and i do pretty much anything else Lex asks of me" Eve smiled and notice the frown and sarcastic tone. "have you met Lex do you know him or something?"

"We met briefly not to long ago. He invaded my privacy so I shut him up," Wanda explained matter-of-factly. "So my opinion of him isn't very high at the moment."

"oh thats disappointing Lex really is a great man once you get to know him. He can come off as arogant, cold, intense, and a bunch of other not very kind words but once he let's you in you find he is a just caring and... Well you dont want litsen to me sing the praises of a guy you think is a jerk so I'll stop. any way I know Lex can be a bit invasive its his way." Eve frowned a bit, then smiled again "so wanda enough about Lex, what brings you here?"

"I was supposed to be here with my boss, ironically. Doctor Strangefate, if you've heard of him. But he bailed at the last minute, citing some," Wanda paused, wondering how to explain. "Work related problems. So now I have to ride this shindig by myself. Might even do a bit of stage magic later on if I feel up to it."

Logan pulled up two glasses, sugar cubes and absinthe spoons, "Knew they were here."
He set them up and then poured them both a glass, "Cheers." Logan said to Lorina picking up his glass and taking a drink.
He looked at Selina after he finished his drink from the absinthe, "Just Logan, Howlett is the name that pretender who claims is my son is using."
====================================================================
Daimon Constantine walked into the fundraiser with a scowl on his face, he knew Wanda was here somewhere, Strangefate had told him as much. Daimon was here to "keep an eye on her."
Daimon honestly hated these sort of high society events, interesting people... stupid conversations. Worse than that, he couldn't smoke. He sighed as he spotted Wanda in the crowd but didn't approach her, instead he noticed the open bar and figured that something would go right for him tonight.
