one thing's universal, life's no dress rehearsal
[Prom night! The greatest night of your young lives if you watch any Western high school media from the past 60 years. The looks, the music, the copious amounts of fancy snacks, the sore feet from dancing heels and then spending the rest of the night in bare feet- it’s all part of the bigger package.
The courtyard and the roof have both been decked out in a special way for tonight, despite no one really seeing Hester or anyone/anything else decorating. There are round tables set-up in both places, covered in yellow-gold tablecloths. Some of them have platters of snacks laid out on them, one has a large punch bowl that never seems to empty no matter how many drinks are taken from it.
On the roof there’s an extra table with pencils, small slips of paper, a box wrapped in gold wrapping paper and a notecard labeled Song Requests. Just write a song, pop it in the box and within a few minutes it starts playing! Weird, there doesn’t seem to be a sound system anywhere...
Red paper lanterns have been strung around the outline of the roof and between stakes in the courtyard, granting soft romantic light for a night to remember. Put on your best costume shop formal wear, get ready to lose your shoes after an hour and sneak in liquor even though most of you are of age.
After all…tonight belongs to you.]

[Elle sips her punch.]
It's nice to have an evening where we can all unwind.
no subject
[She gives a little sniffle.]
Have you and McFife-san had a chance to enjoy it?
no subject
We have! I still want to get a few more dances in with him, though.
What about you and Janis and Pegrine?
no subject
[Which is probably why she's glancing sidelong over toward her own partners.]
We've managed to steal a few with one another. I am thinking I want to dance with both at once, though.
no subject
[As Maya looks at her partners, Elle glances at Angus and, for a second, looks inexplicably sad. When Maya looks back, she's back to her usual peppy expression.]
That sounds like fun! The only dancing I've done with more than one partner is like club dancing.
no subject
[Like with Elle, Maya's gaze remains locked on the women she's come to call hers. There's concern there, and somewhere in the back of her mind, Maya hears a faint whisper.
And then Elle is speaking, and Maya's come back to her senses.]
It's rather clumsy, I'll admit. But it's... pleasant, too.
