The Gala was so exciting! A little weird, I guess, but what *isn't* weird around here? Getting to play in the orchestra was the highlight, although none of us were impressed that someone in the audience thought they could just interrupt us by playing their own music. Who even does that?!
It was all such a spectacle, from the moment we finished setting up in our seats. The greenery, rhe chalices, the lights, the dancing, the performances! Speaking of the performances, my favourite was the light show, the one full of butterflies. It made me think of what home could be like if we could focus on our lands instead of having to hide. I dreamed about it that night.
The grandest moment for me was taking a chance, while everyone was distracted by the Alfar harpist's performance, to take a good look through Sir William's eyes. He spent most of vhe evening in the vines strung around the hall, climbing and running to his heart's content. The view was breathtaking. I, ah... apologize to anyone he may have climbed in his enthusiasm for the evening.
Now that it's over, my flute gets put away for now, so that I can focus on my project. It's going well so far, and I think I'll be proud when I can present it. More about that when I get another chance to write!
