─────It was the type of day- rather afternoon- that made it feel as if the world had paused for a time. And in this courtyard, away from the bustling of the beginnings of the Blossom Ball in the Great Hall, the young Ilvermony girl paced, a blue rose dangling between her fingers, heels clacking on the stones underfoot. For it was Savreen's first proper dance of any kind, formerly too young to take part in the balls her family had hosted, and by no means should potlucks count as a formal occasion. So, as the sun cast its golden light over her figure, she became more agitated.
The very reason why? Well- for reasons unknown, Sav had asked out a Beauxbatons girl- Callista Aloria to the ball, and now the time they had agreed to meet was drawing nearer, and Callista wasn't in sight. And though she maybe shouldn't have, a part of her thought of leaving to meander over to the ball in the Great Hall, though she knew that would be rude. So she didn't. She just waited, and waited, and waited, twisting a strand of hair around her finger until a singular flower dropped to the ground.
"Oh, maybe I shouldn't have asked her to the ball," Sav muttered, finally taking a seat on the wall, legs dangling off the side, dress puffed up. "Five minutes, just five more minutes."

─────Callista had agreed to meet Savreen at the courtyard, where she had arrived a few days ago. She had yet to give the other girl an answer. Now thinking back, she wasn’t so sure why it took her such a long time to give her an answer. It would be so much fun to go with her, as a friend of course. Callista would agree, but would make it very very clear that they will be nothing more than friends. Or best friends, rather. She had actually never thought about going to the ball with a girl, since she liked boys. But now that she thought of it, it was actually a good thing, that way, she could easily outshine the other girl with her beauty. All eyes will be on her. It’s all that matters at a ball, right? The heaviness she was feeling just a few moments ago was lifted. Problem solved.A smile bloomed on her face, just in time, as she stepped into the courtyard.
It didn’t take long to spot Savreen pacing around the courtyard. She seemed very nervous. Was she nervous because she was wondering if Callista would agree? A sudden snear appeared on her face. Worrying if someone would agree to be your date to the ball was a clear sign of little self-confidence. Callista wouldn’t even have asked. If they wanted to go to the ball with her, they could ask. She waved that thought from her mind and walked up to Savreen.
“Hey, it’s a yes. But we’re only going as friends, ok? Only as friends.” Callista said firmly and confidently, once she walked close enough to Savreen. She wanted to make it so clear that there should be no questions. But if Savreen cannot agree to that, she’ll just find someone else. It wasn’t that hard, at least not for her. Her arms were crossed across her chest as she waited for a response.

─────────────────────────────────────"You say that as if I wanted to go as anything else," she stated, the formation of a wry smile twisting at the corner of her lips. Okay, and maybe she was a little relieved, considering- well, there's no reason over that again, but either way, she was- glad Callista had agreed.
And with that interesting bit out of the way, she handed the rose to the girl. "A token of our friendship," she stated, raising a hand to her heart, dropping down from the wall she was perched upon. And to be quite honest, she didn't think being friendly to the Beauxbatons girl would be something to nip her in the back, and it helped to have allies in other places (and if she was truly being honest, she was intrigued by Callista.)
Perhaps her statement was a bit too forward, but what was said had already been said, and there was no going back. And the conversation was petering out ever so slowly, and the Ball was drawing nearer, along with the sounds of her peers and students from the joining schools. So Savreen just lifted her head, dusted off her skirt, and waited for the other girl's response.────────────────────────────────

─────Callista observed Savreen’s face for a moment, when she said that she wouldn’t want to go any other way. Savreen had a look of mixed emotions, but Callista could see signs of relief. That earned a smile of respect from the French girl.
“Good, so it’s decided then? Shall we discuss what theme we are wearing then?” Callista said, getting right to the topic as she sat down on the ledge of a planter. When Savreen handed her the blue rose, Callista reached out and took it from her, admiring the gorgeous colour and shape of her favourite flower. Rose was an elegant flower, one Callista believes belongs to the most prestigious of all. Savreen knew how to choose flowers.
“To our friendship.” She said, holding the rose up slightly. Savreen was an interesting person, to say. It should be fun to work with her. Callista held her hand out for Savreen to shake, “Looking forward.” She had no doubt that the Ball would be a blast, but she did wish that everything would go according to plan, since there isn’t a lot of time till the ball begins.
“Have you chosen your dress yet?” Callista tried to ask in a friendly tone, but she still came off as slightly aggressive. She wanted to coordinate the theme and colour of the dresses they would wear to the ball.
