I sigh heavily, doing my best to smile graciously, yet avoid everyone here at the ball at all costs. Too many wear the same greedy expression, wanting my status, my title, my riches.... "I need some air," I excuse myself, retreating to the gardens for a refreshing change of scenery. This is where i find you, elegantly dressed, yet all alone. A pained expression crosses your face as you dip your bare feet into the pond "Excuse me, are you hurt?" I ask gently.
