Aerith | Around the Ball | OTA

The only hesitation Aerith had about the ball was the potential to get thrown into some horrible dress. Luckily for her it seemed the seamstress were kind to her! The pink dress she was fitted in had plenty of freedom in it's movement. That didn't mean she didn't feel at least slightly awkward with how much skin was shown considering how different it was from how she usually dressed. At least the mask helped a bit to hide that. Or so she hoped. Now came the real struggle: walking in the shoes and not looking like a fool. This would require her absolute best attention to every step for as long as she could manage.

Throughout the night Aerith can be found mostly around the Ballroom. When she sees the intense spread of food her eyes go wide and she shakes her head. "You know, I'm pretty sure I don't even know what half of this is!" There's something both exciting and terrifying about that. A part of her wants to try it all, but a part of her also misses the more simple gatherings where everyone brought something from their world or home to try out. Rather than gathering up a plate she eventually decides on just grabbing a crystal glass filled with some sort of sparkling drink while she takes in the sights of the ballroom itself. The falling snowflakes catch her interest the most and her eyes light up as she tries to grab one in the air as it falls down. She stumbles in the heels finally and tries to steady herself so she doesn't fall into anyone or spill her drink on them. But maybe she's a bit too late for that?

"Aww, I didn't get it," she says with a tone of pure disappointment. "Oh no! Did I spill anything on you?"

As the night winds down she can be found at the Outdoor Balcony looking up at the sky in wonder. "It's beautiful..."
