A Night to Remember

While at Hasana's wedding, I met the most interesting people! Why, just across the table from me was an Aasimar (Arella) and a foreign dignitary from Doria (Alakabiades). Arella has beautiful shimmery skin and her dancing is quite the sight. Alakabiades seems quite the virtuoso with magic, and quite happy to share it. It was very entertaining to observe them discussing the ham. It tasted fairly normal to me, perhaps it is not a common thing for them?
 
I was glad that I had Sahira, Sallah, and Emine with me. I tried to make small talk and with Alakabiades thrall (She) at one point and it didn't go well. Over She's shoulder I saw her, the Shadow Lady. She is following me around in the real world now. It startled me so bad I fell back out of my chair. Wonderful Hasim and Sallah closed ranks around me. I don't think it was entirely necessary, The Shadow Lady is only in my head after all. But I fear we may have insulted She though, she seemed... prickly the rest of the night.
 
Then Hasana disappeared!
 
At first I thought maybe she'd got nervous and went for some air. Or maybe she fled! I've read that brides do that sometimes. It sounds exciting. When I told Sallah she seemed equally excited, though maybe she wanted to get Hasana in trouble. That's fun too!
 
We met Anasafala on our way towards the apartments, she sat near us but this is the first time I got to speak to her. My second attempt at small talk went pretty okay, I didn't fall over this time at least. I did almost bow but Sallah stopped me.
 
I did not, however, get to show off my boat collection. we walked by a mirror in Hassana's family space and got pulled inside! I swear I saw a face in the mirror right before it happened but there was nobody there but us. For some reason Hasim didn't get pulled through. We apparently were pulled into some "Mirror Plane", whatever that means. Hasim got us out though so it turned out alright. It was exhilarating actually. All of a sudden we were in a strange magical place. Just like all those adventure stories I have! Oh I'm so happy I decided to start socializing. People are so much fun!
 
Shame the mirror broke when we came out. I hope Hasana is alright.
