May 31, 1894 — The Shimmering Sea Ball
This was the first society event Alcyone had come to outside of the Coming Out Ball she had debuted with. In her more grown up gown suitable for a young debutante, Alcyone still felt like a child play-acting in her mothers clothes. She almost wished she had just worn one of the gowns she'd worn as a student. But those had been taken for adjustments too and would be more like the one she was wearing now when they were returned.As such, when she spotted Sisse, she made a beeline for her. Besides, she was curious to know how her friend was faring. "Sisse! I saw you dancing with quite the handsome gentleman earlier," she teased lightly, feeling better already for just being near one of her longtime chums.
