Re: Parvati, Astoria and OPEN
Astoria had not been planning to come to this party. After all, her father didn't want her to go to the neutral zone, and after the attack the other day he was even stricter about where she went. But both Nic and Pansy were going, and it hadn't taken much for Nic to persuade Astoria that this once would be alright. After all, Lord McNair was there. And most importantly, her father certainly wouldn't be. She she dressed in one of her favorite outfits and, in honor of the season, braided some flowers into her hair.
The party was quite nice, she had a few bites to eat and chatted with Nic and her other friends. But she'd lost sight of them a while back. She didn't want to be a nuisance, so she kept to herself around the edges of the party. At one point an Easter Bunny had come up and given her an egg! It was chocolate, but was full of some wonderfully sweet liquid that made her feel all strange and fuzzy inside. It was quite nice, and she had just set out to find him again and get another when someone bumped into her.
"Oh!" Astoria held her hands out in surprise, then couldn't help but burst into laughter. "We nearly collided!" She giggled, feeling quite tingly and pleased for some reason.
