The mild theatrics between the two brings an amused smile to Adia's face. Even someone as conflict averse as her recognizes the kind of banter that married couples engage in on occasion. "All's well that ends well?" she offers diplomatically, before the subject shifts to family in attendance at the party. Her eyes light up at Jim's offer. "Dr. McCoy is here? Oh, I'd love to meet him, if he has a moment." She looks around, adding, "And can you help me find Stratos? I should congratulate him, too, for the wedding planning. He must be so relieved that it's all over."
"Is Spock here?" Caspar asks quietly, trying not to sound too curious. He's mostly here as Adia's plus one, but he wouldn't say no to chatting with a Vulcan.
"Twelve," Adia confirms, for the number of gods. "We lit a candle for Persephone. It's tradition to include the Lord you were dedicated to at birth. And a candle for Artemis. She's the Lord of Moon, among other things." Adia chances a glance skyward, absently twisting her wedding band around her finger. "After, um... well, that Halloween, I thought it would be prudent."
"A potent stimulant?" Caspar interjects, purposely changing the subject back to something lighter. "Is it cocaine?"
"Caspar." Adia gives him a scandalized look.
"Sorry. Is it magic cocaine?" Caspar smirks. Let him have some fun where he can, all right?
