Elation masked her ivory visage; not a fallacy in any brim of her countenance for, the thrill that coursed through her every vein was genuine as her twin pools of cerulean remain fixated upon the auburn haired male in front of her. Flashes; a showcase of what was to follow enveloped her mind; illustrations of slow dances; satisfying her taste buds with the wide assortment of delicacies; moments within each other’s company, fingers intertwined, euphoric laughter emanating through the two; and finally, ceasing the moment with a passionate kiss. Indeed, for Zoe, the evening would consist of quite whimsical endeavors, as a sigh belched from her lips, dreamy in every waft; her mind engulfed in a reverie of its own.
However, the trip within the depths of her mind, abruptly, halted as a voice decorated the vicinity around Zoe, and her boyfriend, Jayce who stood, at merely, one corner of the room; somewhat, concealed from others unless, one were to pay close attention.
“Wha-“ A question; but, one unable to be completed as Zoe’s eyes landed in on the person to whom the voice belonged to. Familiar white hair erupted in the young blonde’s line of vision before, the voice spoke again; female in its nature, uttering none other than Zoe’s name.
“Sasha.” Recognizing her, the name escaped the rosiness of the light blonde’s lips, scrutinizing the pearl haired Rune Knight before her, who was glamorously attired up in an alluring red Cheongsam dress appearing quite lovely and adorable.
The hug from the Rune Knight that engulfed Zoe erupted a light-hearted chuckle from the receiver; her hands moving over to the woman’s back in hopes of returning the hug; her ears auditing the question perspired from Sasha’s lips.
“Nice to see you too! And I’m good. How have you been, Sasha?” A light tilt of her lips upwards, concentrated into a pleasant smile; hues, incandescent upon, the excitement of meeting a familiar face again.
“And don’t call me kiddo.” Temporarily, penetrating a playful scowl upon her visage before, it yet again, returned to the light smile it had previously been. Of course, the next query to escape the boisterous bunny’s lips elicited a twinge of crimson, painted upon the ivory of Zoe’s face. It was more, shyness, than anything else as her, optics scantily shifted over to the male beside her, witnessing his reaction. However, as always, the mundane look plastered on his face suggested, almost no reaction to the rather, em66ccffsing question.
“W-Well.” A slight stutter in her sentence, depicting her bashfulness before, she completed it; the blush, reddening slightly more at the prospect that, this was, in fact, the first time she had 2introduced Jayce to any of her acquaintances.
“Yeah, you’re right. Um, this is Jayce; my boyfriend.” Introducing the male to her Rune Knight friend, Zoe obscured the slight envy upon, Sasha referring to Jayce as
‘cutie’. Jealousy which promptly, diminished upon the arrival of Leo; one of Jayce’s Celestial Spirit keys; her boyfriend being a Celestial Spirit mage as the light blonde’s eyes darted between the Spirit and the Rune Knight, witnessing the exchange of words as a warm feeling encompassed her locks spreading to the tips of her hair. Warmth spread through at him lightly stroking of her hair; relishing the affection he displayed through his mere actions.
Until, of course, Sasha excused herself abruptly, from the premises of their company rendering, a curious façade upon the blonde’s face as her orbs witnessed her retreating figure, calling out the woman’s name in hopes of inducing a halt in her steps.
“Sasha!” However, to no avail. Redirecting her gaze upon the Celestial Spirit; a tint of accusation within her hues, as she crossed her arms underneath her chest, raising an implicating eyebrow at Leo, gesturing with her eyes to follow the pearl haired girl and make up for his openly, flirtatious behavior.
“Come on, go.”
It was then however, did Zoe notice the silence that spread across the hall, resembling an epidemic of sorts; an inquisitive expression overcoming her as her gaze slithered through the mass of people present before, they landed upon a figure causing, a sigh to escape her lips.
Oh, Frederick. Always the drama-queen that he was, the man managed to attract attention; however, rather hostile attentions for his defamation was very well known throughout Fiore. Slight worry overcame her for possibilities that the brood man may have enemies in this very hall; wondering whether a fight would occur however, the next events indeed, surprised the young blonde at the boldness of their Guild Master to openly, announce Frederick as her date before initiating the first dance; a dumb-founded look apparent on Zoe’s face. A shake of her head, at all the bizarre yet, highly amusing events that occurred before, she turned back to the male whom had arrived to be her date; entangling their arms together and all but anything, dragging the auburn haired male to the dance floor; an excited grin upon her face, a luminous radiance depicting her euphoria.
“Come on Jayce, let’s dance!”
