It was a shame, really, that it had been so rudely interrupted just after midnight.<br/><br/>Diona's brief wardrobe malfunction drew her eye as well, and earned an approving grin from her, even as she took advantage of the distraction to tuck her spell component pouch underneath her shirt.<br/><br/>Morena sighed and moved slowly towards Brin, putting a hand on her shoulder.
