Hallway: Valentin and Sasha and OPEN
Valentin hurried down the hallway. He was dressed in a fancy black suit, topped off with a white bow tie and an ornate mask he had ordered through Mrs. Craddocks. His blond hair was spiky and gelled up for the gods. He looked like a cater-waiter turned venetian rogue, which was just as well: fortunately, Valentin had the cheekbones to pull that off.
He was not exactly on time. He was supposed to go with the other Pegasi and arrived as a group, but at the last possible moment, Valentin had spilled blood down his favourite white shirt, so he'd had to change. Fortunately, he had not spilled anything on his bowtie.
There were still a few people in the hallway, gossiping in corners and (probably) pre-gaming when Valentin turned the corner. He slowed down from a dash to a normal walk. It would not do to seem too eager, of course.
