Ausra loved a good party, especially one next to water and that didn’t involve sewing herself into a ball gown. It had taken weeks, but the rebuild was finally completed and it seemed everyone in Khatanga had shown up to the lake to celebrate. Glass of chardonnay in hand she’d been talking to anyone and everyone she came across. They all seemed to be in such good spirits and with the promise of dinner with her sister to look forward to she didn’t see how the day could get any more perfect. Saddling up to someone new she took a sip of her glass before grinning at them. “Isn’t this just great? I’m always so impressed by how even the simplest of events that the palace hosts end up so wonderful. The first one I attended was a garden party like this, crazy to think it was already over a year ago. Not gonna lie though, all that time and I still get lost in this place,” she said with a laugh.

It was a nice day and Solveig was sipping on her second glass of wine. She’d promised herself that she’d have only a couple, so she could be sharp for the main event. She’d gone to quickly through the first though and was doing her best to pace herself now. She’d been mostly mingling aimlessly with people she barely knew, though she’d been sure to keep one eye on Matthias. Without making it obvious she’d moved through the crowed toward him, landing at his side as he finished his conversation. “Congratulations on the engagement, your highness,” she said politely, not sure what else there was too say. If she was being honest she didn’t really have a reason to talk to him, other than conversation that had started in the medical room. Now wasn’t exactly the place for that either though, and really, she was just looking for one last excuse to talk to him before she lost him forever.

Solveig’d been mostly keeping to the outskirts of the party. She’d found a nice chair in the sun and a glass of wine. With it finally warm enough to wear shorts and a crop top she was enjoying some time in the sun before shit was going to hit the fan. As someone slipped into the chair beside her she turned her head to see who’d joined her. The blonde was being careful to keep her mood light and unassuming to the many people in attendance. “At least the snow is finally gone and the sun is out. Thank Odin for that.”

She hadn’t been terribly social at the beginning of the party, but as the wine had done it’s job, she’d loosened up a little bit. Mingling lightly, she’d made her way around the crowed, making inconsequential small talk for the most part. When she found herself close to her younger brother though the briefest look of regret passed over her face. She knew what she was about to do and that it would put him in a terrible position. Such was the way of the life they’d been born into though, and neither Trulson had chosen it. Where Solveig had embraced it though, Casper had not, and she could only hope she was convincing enough that when the ball dropped he would be left unscathed. 

Placing a carefully crafted smile back on her lips though she made her way over to him. “Enjoying the party, Cassie? At least you finally get to see Khatanga without snow.”
