The tidal wave of noise washed through her.
After letting the silence bloom once more, she gave the room a curt nod, a sign for them to continue on with their business.
The buzz of human activity took over the room once more, and the music started again with a renewed vigour.
She exhaled.
Even though she didn't let it show, Aria was feeling a little uneasy under all the attention.
It had been a long while since she had last made a public appearance. Because of how intense her training and studies were, she really didn't have a choice really. Being thrust into such a large group of people right after such a long seclusion was a little disorienting.
So she need a moment to get used to it.
She wasn't worried too much though, Aria knew herself better than anyone else, she was going to be just fine.
She took a moment to take in the ball room.
Then she remembered something important.
She turned around towards Edward.
