Day 21 - Dark

The room filled with bright lights, delicate chandeliers, and beautiful dancing nobles, a gathering was being held for all the young heirs in the city. Expensive foods lined the walls for those that wanted to take a break from mingling, and musicians played lively songs to keep the mood upbeat. It was a party no one would miss out on given even the royals had accepted an invitation. No one but the red headed male dressed to impress, as Lady Minuit, forced to attend for appearances. The maids went to great lengths decorating his dress and spent even longer fixing up the slightly curled locks into a bun tonight. Which at least that was more remiss of his usual hairstyle, so he had fewer complaints than normal about it.

He was quickly tiring of the event however, having to smile and make small talk with those he was well aware would sooner spit at him than kiss his hand if they knew what he truly was. Needing some space from everything, Love sought refuge out in the darkness of the balcony. Even pulling the heavy curtains close to be alone without the bright sparkles behind him. As he was getting comfortable against the railing, a sliver of light caught in his vision of someone entering behind him. Turning to see who would have the audacity, he wasn't sure how surprised to be at this point, "I don't remember and famous pieces or jewels being brought in for tonight, what brings you here?"

Dressed to impress, Love had yet to see Thief in something he looked bad in, "I came only for the most precious gem, of course." Raising an eyebrow at first, he could never get use to their compliments and suave nature, warming as they came closer and it dawned on Love that he might be leaving the event early.
