"Lady Céline! So you find yourself at this monastery as well?"
More joy is expressed in the Brodian noble's voice than surprise (she has seen many a familiar friend within this ballroom by now, fortunately). Citrinne finds the lady of flowers standing by the ballroom's sudden addition of a...fountain?
She won't question its appearance, especially when its presence adds a soothing flow of water to the active night. Furthermore, it makes for a pleasant backdrop for meeting with old friends once more.
"Under normal circumstances, I would offer you to sit for tea...but that isn't the best use of time for tonight, is it?" Citrinne lightly smiles, almost certain the princess has already had her share of tea without her.
Citrinne recalls her own brooch, removing a small bell from its attachments. "Reunions should come with much fancier gifts, but will this golden bell suffice for now? I can always share more with you in the future!"
The fountain makes an exquisite centerpiece, drawing Céline's attention towards it the moment she feels herself drawn by its peacefulness. It reminds her of a flower, steady and bright. She finds intrigue enough in merely observing it; nothing else.
Firene's princess stands warmly in greeting upon the call of her name from the kind and familiar face that is Citrinne: "Indeed, I am a student here! I have learned much during my stay. But worry not. There will be plenty of other opportunities for us to reconvene over tea— Of that I am certain. I recently discovered a quaint spot not far from these grounds. I must show you sometime." As much as she had been enjoying her tea selections into the evening, there was more to a ball than gracing her fingers atop familiar beverages.
Taking the bell into her hands, Céline places the brooch on the leftmost side of her green dress as she says, "Oh, my. You are much too kind. However, I cannot allow us to part ways without an exchange of my own! "Removing the string of pearls atop her neck, she lifts it over her long blonde locks and allows its light to dangle luminously under the fountain. "I am pleased to see you are doing well— I require nothing further."
