After the embarrassing encounter with the lady's son barely more than a week prior, the thought of deciding not to go to Lucy Pettigrew's birthday party had seemed quite appealing. Where better to remind herself how much she regretted the things she had said than his mother's party in his house. Fortunately, she believed him unlikely to want to seek her out so the possibility of an uncomfortable second encounter seemed unlikely.
So there she was at the birthday party and yet to make any proper greeting to the woman of the evening. She'd not actually seen much of the blonde in the handful of months since the parting of the ways and the friendship she had been eager to encourage with her, while not unwelcome with the change of situation, made Ursula a little apprehensive. It was bad enough that he was friends with Phineas and in the same social circles, but her tie to his mother just increased the chances of future involvement with him.
Ursula could hardly just cut Lucy Pettigrew off though, she genuinely her for a start and it would seem very strange for her to do so without the slightest provocation. Upon finally spotting a lone Mrs. Pettigrew, Ursula approached her. If she was apprehensive it was only because her thoughts kept drifting to the son and the implications of that on her friendship with his mother. As it turned out, she apparently had no need to worry for she received the greeting of a complete stranger.
Was there some propensity for amnesia amongst the Pettigrew clan or had she underestimated her capacity for pettiness? The delivery didn't strike her as passive aggressive, however. She decided to take it as a dry barb at her distance of late, although she had a feeling that wasn't the truth of it. "I really must apologize for how unavailable I've been of late, but nothing could keep me away this evening. Has your birthday been a pleasant one?"
