9:15 - Will & Derry
While JJ had gone to find Felix for a dance, Derry went outside for some air. Dinner hadn't been served yet, and he had no interest in dancing with anyone else. He was interested in checking out the gardens to see what the final product had been.
He'd also taken the opportunity to remove his mask for awhile. He knew that he was supposed to be chatting up guests to get donations... but that wasn't exactly Derry's comfort zone. Mostly, he was here for JJ and to see her enjoy herself.
Derry made his way through the garden and walked over to where the herd of winged horses were. That was where he saw Will sitting on the fence and Derry remembered that he was one of JJ's friends. He also wasn't dressed up for the ball... so he had to be there for the horses. "Hi," Derry said as he came closer, not wanting the startle Will. "You out here by yourself?"
