Who: Anyone
What: SeeD ball
When: Backdated for Saturday around 7ish
Where: The social hall in the Quad
Straightening his tie, Cid surveyed the room. It was decorated elegantly as always, though he had little to do with that part of it. Tables with lacy clothes and fancy drinks and food on the sides of the room had large bouquets of some sort of white flowers. He would guess they were lilies, but Cid was no expert. There were centerpieces with candles surrounding more flowers, which matched the candles in the wall sconces - had those been there last year? He supposed they probably had. Lush potted ferns sat near the walls. He pulled at his tie again, starting to feel a bit hot in his wardrobe. Despite doing this every year, he never could get comfortable in his formal clothes. A full suit just wasn't his thing, especially now that his was starting to get a bit tight.
A drink in one hand, he looked around as people drifted in. It was already filling in, despite still being early. He enjoyed his rare moment of peace, wondering idly where Edea had disappeared to. He knew his solitude wouldn't last long, as most of his night would be spent entertaining guests, smoozing with potential benefactors, listening to people's requests for SeeD as if they were the first genius person who thought approaching the headmaster was the ticket in. Of course, he reflected, it had worked for Rinoa.
Sure enough, his attention was soon diverted as he felt a hand on his arm, and before long was shaking hands and making small talk again. He wished Edea was here - she was much better in these social situations.
