It was the day of the masquerade and everybody was getting ready, you had just moved to Vesuvia and it was your first masquerade. You didn't really know anyone in Vesuvia, so you knew it was going to be a little awkward, but you were still excited to go. You had gotten dressed in your F/C dressing gown and you put on your F/A Mask. Soon you had started to make your way to the palace.
When you had gotten to the palace it was crowded, everyone was trying to get inside the gates at the same time. Once you made it inside you noticed how absolutely beautiful it is, Lights hanging from the ceiling making the rooms glow, the walls were decorated with expensive fabrics and streamers of gold. You then waked around the ballroom looking for something to do or someone to talk to, but everyone was already in deep conversation.
A few hours had passed and you had realized how sad it is to come to a masquerade alone, No one to dance with, no one to talk to, it made you feel alone. You decided to walk outside to the court yard, there was a large fountain in the middle. You walked over to it and sat down. It was nice to be outside, it was quiet and clam, there wasn't many people outside, most of the people were inside dancing and having a good time.
A few minutes had passed and no one came outside, that is until someone with white fluffy hair and a fox mask walked down the stairs. You two made eye contact for a moment before you looked away. You didn't seem to notice them walking towards you until they said something.
"Hello," you were startled by this and turned so you could see the person.
"Oh, um hello." you gave them a warm smile and they returned the gesture.
"Why are you out here all alone?" they asked.
"I'm here alone and needed a break from how loud it was inside." you gave them a small smile.
"That's why I'm out here, too loud. Um anyways, what's your name?" they asked.
"Y/n, my name is Y/n." They stuck out their hand for you to shake, you took it and shook it.
"I'm Asra, it's a pleasure to meet you Y/n." They let go of your hand and stood up.
"How about a dance Y/n?" You stood up and nodded.
"That would be wonderful." They smiled at you and offered you their arm, you took it and the both of you walked back into the ballroom to dance the night away.
