Event: Eiko's Birthday Ball

Characters: OPEN to all party guests
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: A big party for a small girl. Yep, it's Eiko's birthday and she's having a ball.
Location: Lindblum Grand Castle
Date: March 21st, 1804
Warnings: N/A so far

Nobody could say that Regent Cid wasn't generous when it came to his adopted daughter, Eiko. In fact, some said that he was too indulgent. But on this, the evening of Eiko's tenth birthday, the citizens of Lindblum were ready and eager to celebrate. A free ball! Free drinks, free food, and a free pass into Lindblum Grand Castle. Many had failed to acquire tickets in time and were disappointed, but the lucky few piled eagerly into the castle.

Security was tight, and every single guest was checked by the guards before being allowed to enter. Once inside, they would find a wide and sumptuously decorated ballroom. A small group of musicians played slow and ambient music, while the party guests swayed across the floor dressed in all their finery. What could only be described as a flock of moogles flew or scurried around the room, offering glasses of champagne and various sweet treats. Regent Cid himself sat on a grand throne at the head of the room, nodding graciously at the guests who came to pay their respects. 

The ball was already in full swing, and the party would go on for a long while yet.

[ooc: Don't worry if you didn't comment to Regent Cid's earlier post requesting tickets. Handwaving is just fine if you want to hop in. It's party style - go tag and mingle! Thread jumping and ninja tagging is encouraged.]

[ooc: Eiko has made a very loud announcement about a celebrity couple's engagement. Feel free to overhear, react or congratulate.]

"That they do," Cecil agreed, smiling. Daring the move, he leaned down to rest his forehead against her for a moment. "I'm enjoying it more now that I have found you."

He straightened and held out his arm for her to take. It was time for a dance.

Rosa smiled and leaned into the touch for the moment she was granted it. "As am I," she answered before she took his arm willingly. And dance they would. It was one of many things she loved to do with Cecil.

And Cecil sure did love his dancers- oops- he sure did love to dance with Rosa!

Out they went, guided by Cecil, and once they were on the dance floor, he took her hand and stepped in front of her, smiling faintly. "It has been some time since we last danced," he remembered.

And Rosa enjoyed her one true escort.

She took his hand and rested her other one on his shoulder, allowing him to guide her through the steps. "It has," she murmured in response. "I've been here for a long time now and the opportunity never presented itself before."

"Why is that?" he asked, curious to know about her time here while he remembered.. none of it.

Cecil pressed his hand a touch more to her back, pulling her in closer as they danced.
