Kira's attention was kept on her woodwind instruments, skillfully handling them as she worked with other musicians to perfect the tune. The celebration of the nobles and royals in the queen's castle is as lively as she expected it to be, dancing and drinking as if there was tomorrow.
Kira jumped lightly when she felt a light tap on her shoulder, turning to see Matsukawa's cheeky grin, "let's go have fun for a bit."
"What?"
"The rest will take over, enjoy yourself milady," Kira could only smile as she watched the tall male giddily spinning around, eventually lost in the crowd. She was just about to follow suit when she felt someone gripping her wrist, turning to see Terushima, a serious expression on his face.
Kira's smile faltered, her brows knitted together as she grew worried, "what's wrong?"
Terushima took a deep breath, his eyes staring right into her soul, "Kira, are you hiding something from us?"

Said male could only sigh as she let his hands go, watching as she too made her way into the crowd. His hand ghosted lightly above the others, the feeling of her hands and warmth still clear in his mind. Terushima shook his head violently, slapping himself awake before attending to another noblewoman in the ballroom.
