closed event starter: masquerade for: @lcblanc
Elyse didn't expect Cam to keep her by his side the whole evening. Of course, she would learn the most directly from the man's guidance and experience -- the knowledge he possessed, the dark ambitions and darker imagination were equally inspiring and frustrating.
Yes, maybe Elyse was jealous -- that so many others knew about this world and now she was humbly submitting herself to their experienced machinations. But the hunger for more outweighed anything the green-eyed monster envy could gnaw at from within her.
She looks over to another woman, wondering just who or what she's standing beside. It's incredible, the sheer amount of mystery swirling through the masquerade. "So many strangers in this strange land," Elyse muses aloud. "And every single one of them, a work of art. It's fucking annoying, frankly."
