Vela couldn't help but hide a chuckle at the younger woman's reaction.  She covered the sound with a light cough and covered her hand.  "This is lovely, my dear.  Thank you for inviting us."  She responded properly and moved over after the hug.  "Such a nice spread,"  Vela added and meant it.  She did these for a living and thought it was quite lovely indeed.

She took a sit gracefully smoothing her skirts as she sat down.  "You both look smashingly."  She again made the comment with honesty in her expression and tone.
