Ronni3 leaned on the table next to them, watching the sea of overworld members mingle and dance accordingly with each other. Mother had arranged a masquerade ball, a strange request yet she ordered Ronni3 to attend. Everyone's face was obscured by the eccentric masks covering their face. You could tell some were of lower or higher status considering the material of their masks.
Ronni3 sighed in boredom, until their eye caught something of interest. A rather tall cloaked figure weaved their way about the crowd, almost seeming lost in all the mingle. A dragon mask adorned with a golden chain, close to the one on Ronni3's own mask, and purple gems placed on the cheeks and above the eyes. They couldn't help but admire the way they moved fluidly through even though keeping the energy of being so lost. Ronni3 mustered up a bit of dignity and strode their way over to the tall person.
Once they made it over, they really had a moment to take in how freakishly tall the figure was, basically towering over several members of the crowd. Though, Ronni3 could hear them mumbling rushed apologies any time SHE bumped into someone. Ronni3 didn't realize they had been so lost in thought that they had continued walking untile running head first into the very person their mind had been running about.
"Oh! I'm sorry." She said hurriedly.
Ronni3 didn't quite know how to respond in the moment, flustered that they had been so careless to run into her.
"Quite alright, you seemed lost." Ronni3 stated, brushing their suit off.
"Oh, yes, this is the first party of like this that I've attended...." She paused and glanced about. "I dont quite know what to do."Ronni3 couldn't believe where their brain was running to. Well, it would sure cure their boredom. But how in the name of the overworld had they-
"Ah, well you're supposed to dance my lady." Ronni3 internally screamed at themself. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
The girl seemed to pause and register the odd statement. Before giggling quietly to herself and inhaling.
"Is that a request to dance?" She asked them sweetly.
Ronni3 searched the voice for any kind of ill intentions, but she seemed to have been genuinely asking. They blinked underneath their mask dumbly for a moment.
They opened their mouth to reply "If..um-" Ronni3 stumbled for a moment. "If you so wish to dance." They straightened their posture, in a feeble attempt to seem a bit taller.
The girl chuckled and extended her hand, a gesture to ask Ronni3 to do it in return. Which they did, making a mental note at the way the girl's gloved hand seemd almost curl into claws at the end.
The dance posing was a bit awkward, the height difference made that obviously so. But Ronni3 couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in the way her cloak almost seemed to try and cradle the both of them as they swayed and turned around the room. Music played solemnly in the background, couples twirled each other in tune and beat. Ronni3 became involved in the mask which seemd to lock eyes with them. They took a moment to appreciate the purples and small stripes of neon. The world lost connection in the way the girl's claws seemed to try and hold Ronni3's hooves in the most careful manner. Leaning in ever so slightly to make sure Ronni3 didn't have to make an effort to keep up with her height. The moment could have lasted forever, in the quiet comfort of each other's embrace, slowly swaying. But the girl stopped abruptly at the tap on her shoulder. She whipped around to look up at pig masked person, also draped in a similar cloak. Ronni3 couldn't help but glare at the person.
"Oh dear. I have to go." The girl drew her hands gently away. Ronni3 immediately missing the contact.
"It was very nice meeting you!" She said, sounding slightly disappointed. "You are a very nice dancer." A sense of longing lingering in her voice.
And with that, she turned and dissapeared throught the crowd, towards the exit.
Ronni3 couldn't help but stand there dumbfounded, with their hands draped at their sides. Wondering whether they would be able to find that girl again and why they had forgotten to catch her name.
