[hr]

By the time the ball came around, Kenia had convinced the innkeeper to let her use another room for a few hours as they got ready. She’d figured for her and Corvina it would be better to have their own space to get ready as it was most likely going to take awhile. She’d offered to help Cora ready herself as well, taking to doing her hair and offering to do her makeup as well if she wanted it. This provided a wonderful opportunity for the two women to bond a bit more on their own. Deep down, Kenia couldn’t help but feel a little sadness as she wondered if this would have been what it were like if she were able to help her own daughter get ready for such an event. She refused to let that sadness show, however, as she didn’t want to bring Cora down at all.

After several hours, they were dressed and ready to go. Kenia’s [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/621436998472695811/621438300141649922/20dc989df4ee8ff6907d97b1862d1c29.jpg]dress[/url] might have been a bit more eye catching than she intended, but she didn’t care. This was her, wearing something distracting like this she found to be a good way to start up conversations with people. She’d done her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0f/9e/8a/0f9e8aa3d9048f77e23dc5180456e724.jpg]hair[/url] in waves and paired everything with a berry red colored lip. She put on her [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/621436998472695811/636672424682848256/ed42e4f96f9428bb4d503c609093320c.jpg]mask[/url] and then they were on their way. Rei stayed behind as he wasn’t feeling too well, but she did leave him with instructions on how to get to the Grand Hall if he got to feeling better at all. She wasn’t fond of leaving him there alone, but it was too important to go to this ball tonight.

Soon they were walking inside the Hall, Kenia having linked her arm with Corvina’s as she gave the girl a reassuring smile. Almost immediately after entering, a man approached them and gave each of them two pieces of paper. Apparently they were to be assigned a dance partner twice during the night. She didn’t mind this so much as she thought it would be a good way to speak with new people, maybe get some information from them. She glanced at the papers and saw that her numbers were 1 and 9. She then glanced around the room, wondering who had the matching numbers.

Her eyes then fell on a familiar figure and her heart skipped a beat as a smile came unbidden to her face. Off to the side, obviously trying to avoid people, was Malachi. While she had somewhat tried to avoid talking about what had happened at the tavern the other night, always claiming that now wasn’t the time to discuss such things, she couldn’t deny that she was beginning to care for him. This fact actually scared her a bit, why was she allowing herself to become attached to anyone? Part of her wanted to bolt, while another part of her wanted to go running for him. She did her best to push both thoughts out of her head as she looked over to Cora. [color=8dc73f]”Come on, I see Malachi. We should go over and at least let him know we made it safe.”[/color] She said before heading that direction.

[color=8dc73f]”Well what is a handsome man like yourself doing standing here all alone? Perhaps you’d care for some company?”[/color] She said in greeting to Malachi, giving him a sly smile.
