“ care to dance? ” from @divinetenebris / arthur
brunette is good at keeping to herself - watching world, watching others, pretty enough she can easily fit it && yet quiet enough that most assume her stuck in her grief. a young widow is about as tragic as most other guests can surely imagine: and in truth she finds it a relief that they rarely pause to talk to her. but it's been long enough that she's expected to attend... so she smooths dark blue fabric of her dress and counts down the seconds to when it'll be acceptable to sneak back out.
question catches her by surprise, stealing a rare chuckle. "are you that eager to escape eager mamas?" maeve teases softly, throat a little dry from how long it's been since she last spoke. doe eyes curious as she moves attention to other, "you need a widow-shield?" however, it's not a no.
