SCENE START ( @scionspurgatory​ )

Being out in public had never been Rinea's forte. Back in Rigel, it was difficult to step foot out of the villa with her betrothed. She rathered to spend her time in the garden, dancing, or perhaps even reading. There was a list of what she enjoyed and would rather be doing than go out, but there was a reason why she was like this, it wasn't as if she was slothful. No, not at all. Rinea never contemplated herself to enjoy lazying the day off, not at all. More or less, the people on the outer side of the castle walls were her problem; it was not as if anything was wrong with them, it was just their thoughts or how they judged her. Even if they didn't say anything to her, their stares hid something that gave her chills. Even with other nobles of Rigel, it was difficult to stay in the publicity. But even though this how she thought of it, she knew these were her duties.

That's what she found so calming about Garreg Mach. There was no way that she felt as if she was being stared down, at least, most of the time. Which made her let herself a little looser and carefree around others with her beloved when they spent time together, and this was no exception.

Walking between the groups of townsfolk, there was a gentle smile on her face as they made their way to the different types of vendors. Though shopping wasn't her preference, there were several items to gawk over, much collected from pieces she's seen in Rigel. What was different is they seemed to have different types of booths. Though, a vendor with the title of 'costumes' had caught her attention, which she has accidentally ended up dragging Berkut along with her at the exact moment she spotted it.

It was no surprise that Rinea had taken up the hobby of gardening. What was not to like about it? She had found peace, as the same, she had in dancing. Though, it felt nice to do something for the environment around her. It was always peaceful viewing flowers sprout from a tiny seed to a grown colored blossom. It was strange that Rinea enjoyed this responsibility, but being outside and dirtying your hands a little didn't hurt anyone. The feeling of soil against her fingertips and stems of flowers in her hand made her feel a certain calmness. The aroma of flowers, once they have grown, just heavenly. A perfect gift for anyone, no matter the relationship or occasion.

She kneeled against the railing inside the greenhouse that separated the dirt from spilling over the freshly cleaned ground. Her hands slowly and gently digging out what seemed to be a chrysanthemum.

Ah, that answered her question. There's a rock in her movement as she scoots herself very gently, the sound of soft purring heard for a moment from the feline. "I'm not used to dancing out in public; this must've been late at night... Ah, forgive me. I usually dance during the late hours of the night, did I disturb you or such?”

Anyone who knew the Regalian female would know how much anything musical made her feel. There was a certain aura of joy around her. A small skip in her movement more laughs and chattering when it came into anything lyrical, or that brought her the joy others felt when someone experienced something like this. Once she had heard about a so-called practice for dances and such, she couldn't help but not follow-along. Without any hesitation, she showed up with a grin.

It was an enjoyable time, watching others with their partners enjoy a few hours of moving along to a single instrument, but everyone made the best of it. Everyone besides a girl in the corner, it seemed who was rather lonely or not too into joining the group of students. The periwinkle-haired girl stepped over to her, grabbing her hand and practically dragging her into the mix. It seems the girl is protesting about not knowing how to dance. "Nonsense," with a giggle, Rinea spins the girl slowly, "everyone knows how to dance. There's no need to know of the steps, just go along with it!"

Dancing? Wherever could Rinea even begin? It was an art, her passion, love in her life. You could represent so much through it; hurt, love, satisfaction, anything that you could think about, any emotion at all. That’s what she enjoyed most about it. There was no need to talk about how you felt, due to your movement signifying it without having to put words to it. It was the way Rinea could calm herself down. Relaxing, even soothing to her. It didn’t matter if she felt her body ache after. It was worth it. She did quite enjoy it, so it wasn’t surprising that she had sometimes gotten too carried away with it. 

It wasn’t worrying to hear someone compliment her, but it shocked her especially coming from someone of a different house. Perhaps they had seen some of it? Rinea did tend to try and wait until nightfall to start dancing. It wasn’t that much a big deal, to begin with. “Oh? Um.. thank you. I didn’t seem to notice that you’ve seen me dance.”

Rinea remembered the others in the corresponding house as her own. Full of character and quite large, there wasn’t anything amiss with it. She strived to memorize everyone’s names quickly, so it wouldn’t be rude to ask for them repeatedly, but it was tough to communicate with the others. It seemed that everybody had different interests, but that was alright. She tried to sometimes put in her two-cents on what’s occurring, but usually, it’s been here granting other members of the house to voice themselves first. But that didn’t matter now, now did it? Lessons for the day had soon ended, leaving students to their own devices.

And what does Rinea do once they are all let out for lessons? It should be clear by now!

SCENE START ( @healingmist )

   The sound of steps had echoed throughout the converged cathedral, one after one, in a repeating rhythm that continued without a trace of ending anytime sooner. The late hours of the evening came into play rather quickly, which meant that most of the students and faculty, if not all, have retired to their designated dorms for the night. Some should even be resting by now. There wasn’t much to do tomorrow, besides teachings and such, so there was no hurry to head to be quite early. Inside of the cathedral, the moonshine from above displayed through the glass dome of the roof, the night sky illuminated with the humblest stars, it was a calming spectacle. There wasn’t much light besides that, and the few dimly lit torches that enclosed the area.

In the heart of the quaint cathedral, the female of noble lineage danced there, all by herself. It didn’t seem like she upset by it, though. Her eyes remained shut, humming a tune to herself as her arms lingered up in the air, swaying herself around in a square.  There was no anger on her expression, no negative sentiments, more concentrated on what she was arranging than anything more. Rinea kept her pace, moving side to side, left and right, and around. She still kept her stance upright, as if there was someone there, taking the lead. The tone of her voice was a meer echo as she relocated, never once taking a peek at her surroundings. She trusted herself enough not to bump into anything, which would make a severe mess no matter the outcome.

She was so distracted it seemed she didn’t even notice the sound of the basilica doors opening ever so slightly. There was no notice, just her keeping track of steps in her head, along with the occasional sound of the heel of her shoe matching against the ground. It wasn’t until the character of a soft voice had made her yelp in surprise, almost tripping over her foot before catching herself.“Oh goodness, you startled me…"
