a family outing
@wdghost
location: hallansan (fae ball)
Maia did not know fairies were real until a few months ago, during a fascinating family dinner in which her cousin mentioned them. Maia stared, dumbfounded. The family had made light of it, but Maia was embarrassed. There was so much of the magical world that she didn't know. However, today she was one step closer to expanding her worldview.
Initially, Maia was not sure if she wanted to attend the ball. Being on the mountain made her choke up. Her parents had met on this mountain so long ago. Still, when Mr. Kim invited her, she knew she had to come. He was one of the few friends she had.
She had told her grandparents and they had put in the money for a new dress. It was a whimsical, floral gown. She felt more like a nymph than a witch. She hoped it wasn't too much. She was in high heels and towering over a lot of people. Hopefully, giants weren't real. She did not want to be mistaken for one of those. Though, it would explain a lot.
Mr. Kim had given her an entire lecture on what to do at the ball. Or, more specifically, what not to do. Which was why she was currently drinking something he brought for her, as opposed to any of the decadent beverages surrounding them. "Are you sure I can't have anything? Not even a cupcake?"
