Aranya looked at him for a long moment. Then she said slowly, "Elane has passion in her. I've never seen anyone so devoted to House Royce, or so obsessed with healing and learning. I don't know why she never turned that passion to men. It can't be that it was merely her prudish nature. I think she never thought she was pretty enough. Not like me." She shook her head, smiling ruefully. "Why am I talking to a boy about this? I'm sorry, Yohn."
As the dance ended, she flagged down a server and got a pastry for her nephew. "You make me feel selfish," she said with another smile. "I had fainter dreams about my sister, but all I could think about was my own grief."

Piers glides up to Rhodri and Becca, smiling he asked "May I have the next dance... Becca." He curtsied and winked.

"Distance makes the image sharper. You share too much soul with her to watch her truthfully," Yohn says. He lifts his mask to eat the apricot and cheese pastry.

Aranya looked down at him as he ate. "That is probably so." She had neglected her sister, especially since Selwyn's death. "I will have to contact her. If she really has found a knight to love her, then I want her to take him and keep him." She smothered the brief spasm of bitter jealousy. She truly did want Elane to be happy.

Piers glides up to Rhodri and Becca, smiling he asked "May I have the next dance... Becca." He curtsied and winked. "Madam, I'm crushed," the Redspear says. "I have longed to dance with you." Becca offers her hands to the "maiden". |

Aranya looked amused as she watched Piers, Rhodri and Becca, but then her eyes grew watchful and inscrutable again as she watched the guests talk, dance and eat.

The Dragonknight Elena apporaches Lord Rhodri and asks him for a dance. He offers his false hand, smiles, and draws it back to offer the real one to lead. While not a silky dancer, Lord Rhodri knew his steps and did them ably. |

Rhae pouts, but sneaks to the edge of the feast table and takes some food. She grins to herself as she eats it under the table.

Callen entered the hall acompanied by Anya and Jaeharys at his side. He wore a simple mask over his eyes, a smiled as people greeted him. Anya had taken to adding a wolf's snout over her nose. Jaeharys wore no mask, but had come dressed as Rhaegar the dragon prince, and indeed if the two had been born at the same time they could have been mistaken for brothers. All three of them entered the dance floor.

As she dances with Rhodri, Elena asks, "How is your brother's wife faring? She does not look well."

"She struggles with the loss. She still has not even said his name to me. It is doubly hard that she carries the last part of him in her womb -- to carry a child takes a great toll on the mother," he replies.

Aranya kept glancing at the flagons of wine. She had been longing to get drunk to cope with the past few months, but it was impossible now that she was with child. She sat at watched the guests, and saw Callen, his wife and that new gold cloak commander enter.
She glanced again at the wine, and gritted her teeth.

Hope you all are well and happy.
