She had always been at ease in public settings when her genuine love of people tended to make all interactions at least somewhat bearable. But the tension in the room was so palpable and so thick that even her soft smiles and sweet words couldn’t cut through it. Still, she had done her best to loosen some of the tension wherever possible - after all this was supposed to be a wedding, unexpected guests aside the newlyweds deserved to enjoy it. But her ability to see the good in others did not mean that she was blind to their flaws and she couldn’t shake the suspicious that something was bound to go wrong sooner or later.
Perhaps that was why she was so quick to find her brother but she knew she would make a beeline towards him no matter the occasion. “Loras.” His name slipped from rosy lips like a sigh of relief, hand reaching up to touch his shoulder lightly. Expression was kept neutral but there was an undeniable hint of concern in her voice as lyrical tones left her. “I do hope this evening isn’t going the way that I think it will.”
