﻿Aria Lindholm: The Fall Fest was in full swing as food and drink were passed around, and the music got louder and wilder, and the noise of laughter and yelling became more deafening. In a corner of the Great Hall, one could follow a line of men and women could be seen and heard yelping, clutching their skirts and pants and staring down at the ground as something scampered between their legs and left them in the dust.
From behind someone, a tall man with very fancy and swishy and long robes and a peculiar mustache, popped up Aria, red faced and slightly out of breath, and having the time of her life. This party was grander and bigger than anything they had in Yrus, and she felt great.
She looked around wildly, cupping her hands around her mouth, and yelled at nothing in particular, “Katryn! Where are you?”
Katryn: Katryn had been standing with her sister, who was taking it easy today and doing more talking than anything else. Katryn hated parties and things usually, but she was having a good time with her sister.
She looked around when she heard her name. “Aria?”
“Sure sounded like it,” Siri replied. “Go find her, squirt. We’ll be here. Have fun.”
Katryn nodded and took a deep breath before heading into the the fray.
She found Aria in a moment or two. “Hi Aria,”
Aria: She whirled around on one foot, almost dancer like, her yellow dress billowing at the movement and her ears flipping up and down. She beamed at her friend and grabbed her hands excitedly, “Kat! How are you? You look so nice!”
Katryn: Katryn blushed faintly at Aria’s compliment, but giggled at the other girl’s excitement and twirling. “Thank you. You look nice too. How are you?”
Aria: “Thank you! I’m great!” she looked around, the lights practically sparkling in her eyes, “This party’s so big! We never had anything like this back home.”
Katryn: “We haven’t had a big party like this in a while.” Katryn replied. “Are you having fun?”
Aria: “"Mhm!” she nodded, the freckles on her nose lit up against her flushed skin in the bonfire light, her hazel eyes watching the dancing and laughing people, “The food’s really good, but the juice tastes kinda weird. Are you having fun?”
Katryn: “What juice?” Katryn asked. She hadn’t had any juice. She didn’t even know there was juice. She smoothed out a wrinkle on her pale pink dress. “I guess I’m having fun.”
Aria: “Blunt gave me some earlier, but it wasn’t really any good,” she pointed towards the bar where her aunt was throwing some fire around with other half breeds, then hiccuped. She turned one shade of pink darker. Aria turned towards Katryn, “You guess? You’re not sure?”
Katryn: Katryn twisted her hands together. “I don’t really like loud parties and lots of people.” She admitted. “I’ve been staying with Siri.”
Aria: “Oh. I see,” Aria replied, “Would you like to stay with me then? We don’t have to stay where theres a lot of people. Like…” her rabbit ears flopped as she looked around, “what about outside? Everybody’s eating inside right now, we can go sit by the fire!”
Katryn: “Okay,” Katryn replied brightly. She flushed a bit and hoped Aria didn’t notice. She liked spending time with Aria. “I’d like that.”
Aria: She gave her a bright smile, grabbed her hand before Katryn could react, and began skipping through the crowd to the huge bonfire outside where it rose high into the night sky. It was warm, almost too hot so they kept their distance as the embers and ashes floated around and smoke filled the air. Aria watched the flames dance, keeping her hold on Katryn’s hand.
Katryn: Katryn almost stumbled, but kept up with Aria after regaining her balance. She blushed slightly when she noticed Aria hadn’t let go of her hand when they stopped.
“It’s pretty,” Katryn said softly.
Aria: She nodded, quiet and reserved for a change, as she continued to stare at the golden embers that glowed before them, “It is. Like your hair! Shiny and pretty.” She turned her head to look at Katryn, a big smile on her face. She wasfeeling warmer.
Katryn: Katryn flushed red and touched her hair gently. No one had called her hair pretty before, except her mom and sister.
It made her feel like there were butterflies inside her stomach.
“Th-thank you,” she stammered. “You, um, yours is pretty too.”
Aria: “Hmm. You think so?” Aria replied, giving her head a quick shake. Her ears flopped along with the motion, “Thanks.” she replied, grateful for the compliment but it was like she didn’t entirely believe it.
The noise and music floated from the Great Hall, even in that distance, as the crowd thinned out every now and then with people coming in and out of the thick of the party. She turned to the younger girl, “Is out here better?”
Katryn: Katryn nodded. “Yes. Thank you. It was too crowded in there.”
Being out in the fresh air made Katryn immediately feel better. She felt more free. Less anxious.
Aria: A satisfied smile split her face, and she squeezed the hand she held, “That’s good. If you don’t feel so good tell me okay?”
Katryn: Katryn nodded as a blush crept across her face at Aria squeezing her hand. “I will.”
Aria was pretty when she smiled. Especially with the light of the fire shining on her.
