(I love the fist pump XD)<br/><br/>Rai caught sight of him, as Draco strode in with Kara next. W-why was he here? It was a union so no matter. The smile Draco gave Rai caused his heart to jump. Rai felt his face warm as a blush creeped across. Rai genuinly smiled back, his features relaxing, and eyes becoming kind. Rai jumped as Draco glared at him, his face becoming rigid and returning to that fake smile he had preformed many times for the citizens. "Kara! Darling how are you?" With only a few long, graceful strides, Rai stepped up and bowed to Kara, ignoring the death glare. He placed a kiss upon Kara's hand and stood upright. "I hope you all found your way okay? Welcome to Astheria and I hope you enjoy your visit." He bowed again and began leading Kara by the hand. "The gathering is towards the back in the rose garden." He lead them all to the back doors and motioned for a butler to open them. A torch lit, large garden stretched back as far as the eye could see, a labrinth placed in the middle consisting of only rose bushes. In front of them was cleanly cut grass, and off to the side was a stage with an orchestra playing quiet, classical music. "Most of the guests have arrived, the ball will begin momentarily." Rai turned and faced Kara, giving her a look full of love. Friendly love. "Would you care to greet the few remaining guests with me?"
