Aria had been listening. How could she not when there were people not too far from her that had been gossiping about her? She smirked slightly, while eyeing the gossipers – they weren’t anything to look at. So what did she care? Admittedly, she did care, but the female would rather die than show it. If things took a turn for being nasty, though, she’d be sure to curse them. Her mind was already swirling with Haiku’s for possible situations.
Taking a drink from her glass, she handed the empty water off to a waiter who came around and took it off her hands. Her eyes focused on the group in her immediate area.
There were the girls who figured they could chit-chat about anybody. She paid them no mind, and she would continue to pay them no mind until such time as they said something about her family in particular. Then, there was a girl who had tripped on her dress. Aria felt a bit bad for the girl, but she was already back on her feet and off again by the time she could really think about the situation. There was also another female towards the other end of the drink table. Aria didn’t have much time to speculate as to who that was, before she heard the announcement for the girls who were to be engaged to join on the floor with the princes – that was where they were to be announced as engaged...
Aria made her way through the crowd, looks thrown in her direction once more, before joining the already growing group of males and females in the center of the room. She was able to get a good look at the girls to be married off, and recognized two of them. She gave them a faint smile, before turning her head to give the princes a once-over. They weren’t bad looking, she figured. But that couldn’t account for personality. Tucking some of her fiery red hair behind her ear, she fitted a smile to her face all the same, her hands clasping in front of her in her own little slightly nervous habit. After a few moments of that, she took a few deep breaths, before squaring her shoulders, and slipping the ever-famous half-smirk back onto her face. She would admit it though; she was starting to get really excited, and rather nervous at the same time.
