[Perfectly Wicked]

Wicked returned the smile and nodding to both Miss White and Miss Airu, “Thank you for having me here. The room is lovely, though I am hoping to stay busy enough that I won't be there too often. I am really looking forward to these contests. Being able to compete with so many people who share my interests, this is going to be a blast!”

Grinning now and unable to hide her excitement, Wicked carefully sat on the edge of one of the patio chairs near the pair. Long legs crossed at the ankle, she leaned against the angle of the reclining patio chair with one arm lying over the top edge.. The pose was almost catlike and left her open to see who was coming, going and kept her facing her hosts and judges.

The chair was so relaxing that Wicked had no problem spending most of her time there, soaking up the sunshine into the late afternoon.

When her competitors came out onto the patio Wicked was sure to give them each a full smile and quick once over. This would be a great chance to meet friends and flex her wings, so to speak.
