[Codi grips onto that bit of humor like a raft in the ocean, even though it is somewhat at her expense. It's better than the alternative. She barks a laugh.]

What can I say? I like my parties.

[Sure she might've gone a little overboard at the last big one, what with the drinks, but Codi still has only fond memories of that night. Perhaps the drinks had a part to play in that, too. Just thinking about how damn happy she was at the time is enough to help her relax, enough to start working through the preliminary gestures and mana-channeling of her cast.]

[No words are required yet, though, so Codi is free to continue chatting.]

Dancing can get pretty wild if you let it! Although I imagine you're practicing something more subdued - for a recital, maybe?
