[It was a hard battle, but Leia won.

It's written all over her face as they walk. There's pride, and determination: after the disaster that was the carnival, she's determined to make this ball a good one. Jude, unfortunately for him, had been the perfect candidate to help; and even though he resisted, she eventually got the do-gooder in him to agree.

They'll go, together, as friends.]

Come on. As long as you don't drag your feet, it'll be over quick. I promise!

[She nudges him teasingly.]

I mean, I've never really worn anything formal before, but it shouldn't be that hard to find something, right?

[At least they're not trying to make things from scratch?]

Comments

[spyrites]

[Well it felt like an awkward eternity for him... but he wisely keeps his mouth shut. Okay it wasn't that terrible but he doesn't want to do that again any time soon. Preferably ever.]

I'm just glad to be out of there. [Those employees were just a tad too enthusiastic...]

Well... should we get something to eat then?

[journaler]

Sounds good.

[She nods and wastes no time walking forward to take the lead. There's a hint of relief in her smile, cemented by a sigh that follows--but no, it really wasn't so bad after all.

Now it's over, and they have something to look forward to, even if it's as simple as a fancy party ball.

She has to be thankful for that.]
