Avery had been a bit stiff when the celebration first began, but as it went on, he started to relax.
Naturally, he had received quite a few stares when arrived.

Ezra had also attracted plenty of attention himself, though that was more due to his imposing figure.
Luckily, the Alliance Police officers were mostly friendly. They were people that Cerise had gathered, and she was not the type to put up with the sorts of people that would try to cause problems at a party or openly wield their authority for petty reasons.
Avery did get a few subtlety snide remarks from a couple of captains that were clearly envious of his central role in the operation. No doubt they felt that was something that the Alliance Police should have been doing instead, rather than leaving it up to mercenaries.
