The Yule Ball

Aslan thought for a moment. "No. She isn't. Who are you?"

"I am Sonia's brother. My name is Descartes Hubert." he says holding his hand out for Aslan to shake. "A friend of Maik."

"Oh! Friend of Maiks!" Aslan said with a smile and taking Descartes' hand in his firm grip. "Pleasure to meet you. I'm Aslan Kent"

"Nice to meet you." Descartes says smiling. "May I ask where Maik is?"

"She's gone to her parents' place." Aslan explained. "You need directions?"

"If you don't mind, that would be very kind of you." Descartes says running his hand through his hair with a nervous smile.

Aslan grinned mischievieously and conjured a map for Descartes. "There you go. She should still be there."

"Thank you, i will have to repay you sometime." With a small bow Descartes headed back to the carriage and once again gave the driver directions.

Aslan wasn't sure how Descartes could repay him, but that was fine with him.

Maik looked up as Elrohir entered the sitting room where she was. "hello."
"What are you doing here?" Elrohir asked
Maik handed him a glass of brandy. "Mom and dad are home"

Descartes was drowsy which he knew was a slight aftermath of the spell he used on Sonia.

Aslan watched Descartes' carriage drive away and wondered what he wanted with Maik.

Descartes fell asleep loosing track of time. Only when the carriage slowed did he wake. "We're here, Lord Descartes." the driver says opening the door for him.

(((You can describe what it looks like, Maik 😮 )))

( 😆 thanks)

THe Celebrians' house was large, though not nearly as large as the Huberts'. There was a tall iron gate in front and a long walkway leading to the massive oak doors where the butler was standing waiting.

Descartes took a deep breath. Slipping out he walked up towards the butler.

The butler bowed. "Good day sir, may I be of service?"

"Um, yes, I'm Descartes Hubert. I'm looking for Ms. Maikahyandowen Celebrian. Is she here?"

"She is." the butler replied and opened the door. "Won't you come in?"

"Um, sure, thank you." he says not entirely use to someone else's butler.

"Wait here please." the butler said and went off to find Maik. A few moments after he had left and man and a woman came walking past who seemed to be her parents.

Descartes blushed slightly. He had completely forgotten about that prospect. He gently bit his lower his lip as he waited.

Upon spotting Descartes, Maik's parents stopped short and walked over to him. Her father was in a word massive. He was tall, with a broad chest and massive arms. His hair was like Elrohir's, dark brown and tousled, and his electric blue eyes scanned Descartes as if to determine what he thought of him.
Maik's mother, in contrast, was a tall and slender woman with honey colored hair and stormy grey eyes that seemed kind and unassuming as she regarded Descartes. The two of them were wearing their traveling cloaks, and had apparently only arrived a short time before.
"Who are you?" Maik's father asked
