[center] [h1][color=f49ac2]Amaris Marivaldi[/color][/h1] [sub]Mentions: [color=d42cf9]Smol Dennis[/color] [@Achronum][/sub] [/center] Stepping up to their destination at last, Amaris was able to sigh a silent breath of relief. While she hadn’t expected anything to come jumping out at them from the dark, the knowledge the pair carried with them was a heavy one. Somehow, having returned unhindered by neither criminal nor guard made the situation just a bit easier for her to handle. The countess smiled warmly at the mage as he separated from her and bowed his farewells. “[color=f49ac2]I’m sorry the night had to end the way that it did, but I had a wonderful time as well. I appreciate the opportunity.[/color]” She replied with a curtsy just the slightest bit deeper than when she had met the boy back at the dance hall. At this point she couldn’t yet say that she completely trusted the boy but he was sweet and hopeful; hopeful that perhaps the Revel wouldn’t be the only night she would be allowed the comfort of casual socialization. “[color=d42cf9]Do you think uh maybe we could hang out again?[/color]” The mage asked her lightly. The countess nodded her head, maintaining her warm visage despite the eyes burning holes into her from beyond. “[color=f49ac2]I don’t know about your friend there, but I would certainly enjoy that.[/color]” Amaris shifted her attention from Dennis to the stiffly poised girl awaiting the boy’s return. Lifting her right arm, she offered a polite wave with little expectation of it affecting the girl’s apparent mood. “[color=f49ac2]You shouldn’t keep them waiting. I’ll see you around, ok?[/color]” With a final curtsy, Amaris left Dennis to the care of his friends so that she could return to her own dorm. She doubted even the nobles would be given free passes for breaking the mandated curfew considering the circumstances, and the last thing she wanted to be dealing with was an angry Nox for failing to comply with official orders… again. The countess walked swiftly and with purpose, quickly exiting the circuit of general dorms and setting course for the noble’s.
