Red and Black 7 Marco wakes up at noon and slips out of camp to take a trip around Coronae. The buzz about the Imperial Ball has only grown louder over the past few days. The first round of invitations have been sent out, and the rest of the society elites wait to see who will be chosen. Marco expects that Phillip will be sent an invitation, as has been the case for years. The invitations are always different, printed on thick stock. The colors and the theme change with each year, and those are in and of themselves a topic of debate.Red and Black 7 by ~blankfaceisclaimed
The streets are crammed with people, with buggies and coaches. Marco slips through the traffic and towards a familiar shop. Though Madame is an excellent seamstress, there is not much she can do about accessories without Kayden. And Marco needs something nice.
He has been to this shop a dozen times before, so it is a surprise to see her when he comes through the door.
Red and Black 6 Kayden lies awake in bed, unable to sleep once more. Ari's pessimistic hunch has her in turmoil. Percy has insisted that they stay until the Ball, but she doesn't know what will happen once the Ball has come and gone. She will have to find out the truth by then, or risk never knowing. That thought alone is enough to keep her awake.Red and Black 6 by ~blankfaceisclaimed
She tosses and turns for another few minutes, trying to quiet her mind before giving up. She stands, makes her way to the door, pauses, and steps out into the hallway. Her feet take her to Ari's door, but she stops again. She is unwilling to go to him, mainly out of pride. For most of her life, she has never needed the comfort of another human being. Now, she is reluctant to admit that she needs anyone, let alone Ari. Yet, in a cruelly appropriate way, he is the person who would best understand her pain. Perhaps that is why, now, she stands in front of his door, one hand raise
