slow dancing in a burning room || kellona
In a sea of white and black, it became hard to distinguish faces and Fiona often found herself trapped in groups of people that she hardly knew when she had originally been trailing a friend. The theme and décor was lovely, but it made finding friends difficult and it came as little surprise that she eventual gave up the chase and settled for a far corner of the Great Hall where friends could find her if they wanted to talk or dance and she could be left alone when they did not. The only trouble was finding Keller for the crowds of people made it impossible for them to lock eyes across the room. As the mood of the dance slowly shifted toward softer music that was aimed towards the many couples in attendance, Fiona decided to brave the crowd again and find Keller. They could not leave the ball without having one dance together, reminiscent of their first slow dance as a couple. It was a moment they could never recapture perfectly, but Fiona still did not want the night to pass on without the feeling of being in Keller’s arms and swaying to the music. Fiona knew to look along the walls of the Great Hall to find Keller and sure enough, she spotted him in a secluded spot that closely resembled the one she had just left. Reaching his side quickly, Fiona slipped her hand into his and squeezed lightly. “Would you care to dance?”
