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.]

Giggling the entire time they made their way through the crowd, Aerith made it her mission to win a smile from Delita. He always looked so tense, almost as if he was waiting for a war to break out no matter where he went. The knight was a bundle of nerves, and Aerith sensed this about Delita. This is why she went out of her way tonight to ensure her 'date' would enjoy himself.

"Good! I would have been crushed if you said 'No'." She replied with a laugh as the two of them began to glide along the marble floors. Aerith was getting used to waltzing, all thanks to Blank's quick lessons from earlier. While her feet may have ached just a little, the flower girl was doing quite well in this dance with her favorite knight.

Delita could feel the strain upon Aerith's feet. He wished for her to experience no pain from the dance so he proceeded to give her extra support, keeping her feet light on the floor. He would gladly have carried during the waltz if he didn't believe that would have offended the little flower girl. He began to forget himself for a bit, causing the corners of his mouth to raise into a grin. "I can but hope you have enjoyed yourself this evening," he spoke as they glided across the dance floor.
