Summary
The ball was thrown to celebrate the night returning. The Exarch wanted something to get the people excited for, to take a break from the bleak life they had. Planning took moments, preparations took hours, and all was threatened by the sudden invasion of Sin Eaters that now ran rampant without the guidance of the Lightwardens. Had Rae not been there, the Crystarium would have fallen. Not to let the invasion sour the mood, the ball went ahead. Rae was incredibly hard to get close to. Many people wanted to speak to her, they wanted to dance with her, they wanted her attention and blessing. Knowing his time with her would be finite and precious, he did his best to charm her. With memories of their life in another world, G'raha couldn't keep Rae off his mind, and he wanted the same to be for her.
It worked, it seemed. As the song slowed, the lights dimmed, the Exarch took the risk and leaned in for a kiss, which was reciprocated. The moment that lasted between the two felt like an eternity. They clung to one another in the faint light while sharing the kiss. As the music ended, Rae pulled away and darted off, dragging the Exarch along behind her.
