[ The ball was nice. People were friendly and the conversations were fun. Ashton got to dance in public, see people exchange presents, and just watch others be happy. He even mailed off all his other presents on time, so they could be enjoyed tomorrow.
Despite all that, why did he ache so much? There were many reasons... Seeing Hiling in person reminded him of his loss, in a way, though short-lived that relationship was. The thought of not having holidays like this made him think of home a lot more than he'd like to.
Also, it was just this time last year that he arrived, since he remembers having conversations about the New Year, which is right around the corner. The term "year" doesn't have any meaning for him, since time works so weirdly here, but it would be just a few more days, or maybe weeks, and then... it'll be when he met her for the first time. ]
[ It's been a while since he's visited the beach alone -- not since that time he had been confronted by Xellos -- but he didn't want to go home just yet. This might not be the weather for it, but there he is.
He's still dressed in his black flannel suit, sitting on a bundle of dark purple cloth, though the tie is undone and the ribbon has been pulled out of his shoulder-length hair that still needs to be cut. He doesn't even care if the breeze carries it across his eyes.
Around his neck hangs a silver chain, and in his fingers he's cradling an orb. Occasionally, he flips open the top of the shell and depresses the switch that ignites a small flame. Ashton is staring down at it, as if this tiny point of light would have some kind of answers for him, and he whispers to it, as if it will carry a message to its previous owner. ] I didn't get you anything, but... I hope you're having fun, wherever you are...
