[Mini Event] Midwinter Ball

i could be the reason you can't sleep at night

Right, so....the meeting just prior to the ball had been a massive bust, but hey, no one had died, and for once, that wasn't just sarcasm. After a few drinks with Sunjata, Flora had fled to the bathroom in order to fix her hair and makeup, wanting to appear as if she hadn't just had a near-death experience during what could have just been a email letter.

Refreshed and resplendent if she did say so herself, Flora casually scanned the room to see who had arrived. No Mateo (surprising), no Jack (not surprising), and...taking a healthy sip of wine as her eyes grazed over Koa, the Doubletake briefly considered giving the ring on her finger a twist to render herself invisible before deciding that she wasn't going to let a man who probably didn't even own a bedframe, make her turn tail and run. Not seeing anyone she really knew who she wasn't also related to, and how lame would it be just to cling to her family all night, instead Flora latched on to the first attracted npc man she saw and looped her arm through his.

Adjusting the bangle on her arm, Flora reached for another glass of wine before tipping her head back and laughing the bright and infectious sort of laugh meant to draw the dragoon's attention that she might see what a radiant time she was having despite him.
