Re: Ballroom interaction.
Dorcas felt awkward. The dress picked out for her by Rainer's Uncle was really quite lovely. It was a beautiful color and complimented her well. Figuring out make up had been difficult, and instead of wearing her up in the end, she simply shortened it with transfiguration magic. She simply couldn't seem to make herself look elegant, and it was massively weird for her to walk around in heels rather than sneakers.
She'd been wandering from room to room with no place to fit in. She felt awkward, and wanted to leave. By now, she'd had a few drinks, and was a little tipsy. She watched people dance and thought about how incredibly alone she felt. Everyone has someone, she thought. Everyone but me.
