Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on one's viewpoint, Fleetwood is not the kind to be deterred by a single dismissal. But she also knows better than to pressure a stranger for their life stories right away. This requires a different plan of attack.
"It ain't a huge deal, really. I want to meet new people." Fleetwood takes a seat, smiling. "It's a party, you should be having fun. I'm Fleetwood, and if you don't wanna talk about it, you don't gotta."
If it comes out naturally, Fleetwood will listen, of course. "We can do something fun instead, if that'll help more." It could be something as simple as having had too much to drink, honestly. Perhaps Fleet's going to have to take those berries away.
