Emily exited the limousine as Jared opened the door for her. It was a situation she hadn't thought would happen, especially so quickly, but the more she talked with the man, the more the whole situation felt...right.
She was dressed in the green gown she had purchased for her own gala, that had been cancelled due to extenuating circumstances - essentially - the Ascendancy bringing people like her to light and things going chaotic. The companies time for celebration would come later.
She was also adorned with green gloves and a matching emerald necklace. It brought a little more attention to her bust line than she was used to, but the clothing made her feel like a goddess.
Emily smiled at the driver as Jared took her arm to lead her into the building. They were both checked in and entered without issue. There were people all around, dressed in their best. Some strange smoke floated about the ceiling, and it made Emily shiver a bit.
Emily took a drink and gave one to Jared as she scanned the crowd. Most people seemed fairly comfortable until she spotted someone who seemed to completely stand out in the crowd. The man was talking to another with a scarred face.
Nox!!!
The thought hit her and immediately she began to panic, but it soon subsided as Jared pulled her closer.
"Are you alright?"
She smiled at him. "Yes, I'm fine - I just saw someone I knew."
Jared nodded and gave her an encouraging smile until his eyes grew wide and he stared at the nine individuals at the front of the room.
