Startled, Ellie had turned to see who the interloper might be, and had actually brought her arms up in a futile attempt to cover herself when she realized who it was. Aziraphale was probably the one person in the Manor she would rather not see her naked, though she wasn't entirely sure why. (Although Crowley dancing half-naked himself no more than a couple of yards away probably had something to do with it.)
She schooled her expression to calm as Hermes fawned over the angel, not daring to look in Crowley's direction. Oh please, you two, be sensible. Think how it will look. Don't spoil such a lovely night for everyone.
Defiantly, she let her arms drop and waved to Aziraphale to join them, and then returned to her dance. It wasn't as though she could pretend to be modest, under the circumstances, and the less fuss everybody else made about it all, the less it was liable to embarrass the angel.
