Versailles feels her heart drop to her paws.
Partnering up? Grouping together? She watches them all start to fall into their own little groups and, for a moment, she stands as still as she can - maybe she thinks pretending like she's a statue will be enough for people to forget that she even came. Erase the memory of her arriving, and erase the embarrassment that came with it. Her heart is pounding in her chest at the realization, the cold splash of water across her face as she's shot back down to the earth. Slowly, they weave around each other... except for her. Funny. She should've expected this.
She considers leaving, slipping out before anybody could notice her, but she finally sees Bastille looking at her, as if waiting too see where she'll go. Where can I go? It's a bitter thought. The she-cat takes a deep, trembling breath before walking by her brother's side, blinking at Atbash in greeting. She'll always choose to stand next to her brother, the only place where she's wanted... right? "Good morning, Atbash. I hope you don't mind if I..." She sweeps her long tail, gesturing to the trio of them, asking for permission to stay.
