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.]

The silence was welcome to Kain, and something he was more comfortable with than a lot of questions at once. At least he'd made it through without some sort of disaster.

"That wasn't so bad."

It was a miraculous thing that he could even admit that much.

"You're better than you give yourself credit for." Without knowing what or why, she had the impression he was terribly hard on himself, probably far beyond anything he deserved. Still, Kain had been generous to indulge her hobby, even though he disliked it, and that was in itself admirable. Penelo smiled up at him warmly and added a quiet, "Thank you."

She had no idea the harsh extent to which he judged himself. Apparently it didn't stop at a ball like this. Kain shrugged to her first statement.

"You're welcome," he replied seriously.
