When: The Yule Ball Where: Outside Who: @valeriaeavan
Lucas was having a fun time at the ball, he really was, he just needed to step out. He's never had the greatest social battery, especially in comparison to some of the other people in Gryffindor (seriously that house *loved* to party, it drove him mad sometimes. He would be fine to go back inside and rejoin the festivities in a moment, he just needed air and some peace and quiet. It's a beautiful night, too, really. There was a light snowfall but the sky was clear enough that the moon and stars were both bright enough to illuminate the grounds, or, maybe that was the light shinning out the windows from the party *inside*. Not that it mattered, really. It was almost a shame that the ball wasn't being held *outside*. There wouldn't have been such a need for the decorating committee because the scenery was perfect, in his opinion. He's so enthralled with watching as the snow falls, he almost doesn't hear as Eavan steps outside and approaches him. Almost. An easy smile falls on his face when he looks at her. She looks gorgeous in her outfit, really, he has no idea why shes out here alone, the idea of her not having a date by her side was incomprehensible, in his opinion. "Hey, you okay?" he asked.
