Odelina waved at the two coming in. She then sunk into her seat. She kind of wanted more time to spend with just Lidia before the ball, but knew that it would likely not happen. The last few hours felt hectic and it seemed like it would only get more.

" I'll keep it between us." He responded to Emrys in a whisper before taking a seat.

" Thank you little sister, i wasn't expecting that many people." He looked around, his eyes as cold as ice as he somwhat lose all hability to act natural in front of the small crowd.

Amias's expression changed, and he started to think he had actually hurt Riften's feelings or something. He leaned forward, putting a hand on his shoulder with an apologetic face.
"Hey, Riften I'm sorry, did I go too far?"

Emrys mouthed a small 'thank you' silently to Averill. She took a seat silently, glancing over at Amias and Riften once, as well as giving a small wave back to Odelina. She turned her gaze towards Averill again, noticing how quickly his demeanor changed. She did admit, his gaze was bone chilling when he looked around like that.
Emrys also looked at Lidia, her expression calm and almost thoughtful.
"It seems like you've gathered quite the crowd." She commented.

(Recap on where evyerone is? After the last interaction nothing happened and no one pinged me so I forgot, plus I was heading towards the main ballroom area both characters)

Ahelissa laughed as they approached the seamstress' place. She had never seen this side of her mistress before, and it was amazing! "I'll definitely be under the table with you! Can you imagine?" She held her side as she cracked up. Ahelissa's full-blown belly laugh had lessened to an uncontrollable giggle by the time she pushed open the seamstress' door. She spotted one of the seamstresses looking at her strangely, so she quieted down to a bout of snickers.

Lidia smiled and waved at Emrys. She was smiling softly. "Ave, there are only six of us here, I'm waiting for one of the duchesses and her... Companion before we even start.", Lidia replied happily.

Riften stopped snickering, his ears drooped even more and his head sunk. He hated the tone Amias used. His brows furrowed as he mentally slapped himself. He whipped around and hugged Amias repeating an apology. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you, I just decided to play along with your smirking, I'm so so sorry.", Riften whispered, voice muffled by his shirt.

Part of him wanted to slam his head on the nearest table when his sister said that there was more peoples that would come, at the result of this his eyes became even colder. He knew it was somthing he would have to work on eventualy, his incapacity to deal with unnown personality was making him difficult to aproch witch wasn't the best after all. While he was thinking how to improve his act around others he hadn't noticed that the had stop looking around and was now absentmindly staring at the two boys that were apologising to each others.

(Are u guys already meeting or what cuz Nicotes supposed to come in like halfway through but I got left behind at some poitn when I deleted pings....)

( The meeting isn't started yet, for now Emrys is more or less talking to Lidia, Amias and Riften are messing/appologising to each others, Odelina want more attention from her friend and Averill is just being his ackward self and failing trying to look somwhat normal despite accidentaly glaring at evryone that move. XD)
