“at least SOMEONE is enjoying themselves.” the lady’s delicate fingertips trace her goblet as she quirks an amused brow at the sight before her. of a LADY and her GENTLEMANLY guest for the evening, cackling in a way that could only be fuelled by alcohol. “are you having just as much FUN?” she glances side ways, haunting lilac eyes glinting teasingly as she raises her wine to her lips. it was so RARE the capital was this full. so many new friends to make, people to learn about. finally, some excitement.
Shaena moved through the crowd, giving small smiles and nods to those who noticed her and bowed in her presence. It was still so hard to become used to the idea of lords and ladies bowing to her. As she silently prayed to the gods not to allow her crown to tumble off of her golden locks, she approached her cousin. The queen placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, disrupting the conversation that she seemed to be holding. “Alysanne. Seeing you makes me truly happy!” As she spoke, the person next to her cousin quickly rose up from their seat, politely bowed and left the the table, leaving a spot for Shaena to sit in.
She took a seat, kindly raising her hand to a servant to get their attention. “Are you almost out of wine?” She asked with true happiness coming out of her eyes. Her cousin’s presence- her sister, nearly, always gave Shaena a sense of elation.
