Everything was going so well, for once in her life Alek was starting to feel genuine happiness spending the night ditching the masquerade with Maristela. Of course something had to go wrong and ruin everything though, because why would fate suddenly turn in her favor. The whole thunder and lightning started the both of them, and she was lagging behind while Mari rushed back to the party. Unlike everyone else Alek wasn’t very desperate to hop into the fray of panic, and instead settled for stepping around the outskirts until she ran into Dmitri. “What stupid thing did someone do this time?” She was comfortable speaking to him in russian which was dripping with sarcasm, and stood with her hands behind her back as her eyes scanned the scene. @myhearthealing
