Diego isn't usually one for parties, especially not ones like this with so much publicity involved on his part, but he got roped into a costume by Laura. He'd honestly planned on not dressing up (or coming at all), but men have done stupider things for the attention of a pretty woman, and Diego is no different than the rest of them in that respect. So here he is, in all of his half-naked glory of a slapdash Greek Dude costume to not-quite match Laura's Persephone.
His small number of friends in this place are otherwise occupied in some fashion or another, and... he's kind of just being a loner in a corner somewhere when he hears the very distinct sound of his addict-brother's voice making a refusal for alcohol.
A frown creases his forehead and he watches as, to further that denial, Klaus actually walks away from the person that had been offering. There's something incredibly weird about that. In part for all the things he's witnessed from (some version of) his brother in the last several months; and further back than that still, all the years before he left the Academy, and a handful of times since he did, that Diego has witnessed his brother's revolving door habits with drugs and clinics to get him free of them.
He doesn't like it. Not that he wants him to drown himself in booze and shove his system full of chemicals that don't belong there. But it's the kind of different that's almost unsettling to watch happen when it rubs so opposite and wrong to everything else he's witnessed in the past.
The other side is-- well...
Klaus is walking by, in all his insanely decked out glory, and Diego can't ignore the opportunity. "Making a right decision for once, huh?"

That's kind of like saying 'proud of you', right?
