Nikolai doesn't go to parties often. The colorful spotlights and the smell of cheap wine doesn't suit his taste. But this time, he decided to go. For the sake of funzies. So there he was, trying his best to adjust to the new lighting. There were people partying, some dancing, maybe smoking outside. Nothing too out of the ordinary. He then heard someone near the entrance, and usually he wouldn't care, but whatever bubbly feeling he had in his mind probably said otherwise. He didn't outright show how he saw your presence, just waiting for the right moment so he could talk to you. He's hoping said bubbly feeling was just from the wine.
