The Pale Dragon finally cometh.
Ivory would drift into the group, granting some smiles here and there to familiar faces, but her actions spoke clearly to her intent as she quietly moved near Piper and Nimbus.
"Good evening," she offered, offering a slight pause in order for the three of them to adjust to her presence. Ivory doubted she was wholly welcome by the pair, even with Kai's expert hand. Hopefully the Polychromatic's efforts would have at least convinced them to hear her speak. This was a bridge Ivory needed to have rebuilt and she wanted to approach the matter carefully.
"Please pardon the intrusion, I understand we are all hear to celebrate Riley's success, but we rarely encounter each other and I didn't want to let the opportunity to speak with you both slip away," she explained, "I want to formally apologize for my... behavior at our last meeting. In my desire to build a charity as a means of fomenting a working relationship with the two of you, I failed to grasp exactly what I was asking for and the amount of work I was suggesting to be undertaken. The approach was selfish and ill-conceived, as was my reaction when I realized our meeting had not gone as I was hoping it would. I failed to recognize the value of compromise and instead took it as an insult. You both deserved far more respect than I afforded you in my attempts to broker a relationship. What I did was childish, rude, and unfocused. And for that, I sincerely apologize."
Through it all, Ivory was earnest, but still held her head high. Ivory was in the wrong and she was seeking to correct the matter. The incident's blame fell squarely on her shoulders. However, pride would not allow her to beg for forgiveness and she doubted such an act would be required.

I presume a roll is required to persuade Nimbus and Piper of her sincerity. On a Manipulation+Persuasion+WP roll Ivory scored 2 successes
