Ruby sat down with him, smiling as she was just thinking about how different this had been then what she had been expecting on the way here.
Oh she needed to write home and tell her siblings about how wonderful everything has been..she was sure her siblings were worrying about her and how she was settling in. She made a mental note to do it later, now was a time for celebration. She called one of the servers over and smiled sweetly at them,
"could you please fetch me a drink?" She spoke softly, seemingly comfortable enough to do things on her own for once.
Unfortunately the servant misheard her..and brought her a glass of hard liquor. Though the glass looked like water, so she took it from him without a second thought.
She moved to sip from the glass, only cringing a bit when she was put off by the taste.
That definitely doesn't taste like water…oh but maybe it's just that the water is different here? she wondered to herself. She continued to drink what she thought was water, before finishing the cup. She found herself a bit flustered, her cheeks a light pink.
Why I am all of a sudden light headed and warm..?
She looked over at Lucian and ended up smiling at him, she let out a small giggle as she thought about how sweet he had been to her…and how thankful she was for him. And…I
Other things.

Lucian sipped on his glass of wine, watching the crowd. An old habit that just wouldn't die. He was watching the crowd for threats and his eyes kept flickering to the entrances and exits. Public settings have never made him very comfortable, and one with a big a crowd as this, he was out if his element. He would much rather send everyone home and call it a night. Unfortunately, his father might just flay his back if even suggested it. So he stuck here, in this insufferable clothing at this insufferable ball.
As he heard giggling at his side, strange, he turned his head to look down at Ruby. He raised an eyebrow. It was only as he looked at her further, cheeks flushed, eyes glazing, that he realized she was intoxicated. He took the glass she was holding and sniffed it. Vodka. Who in their right mind gave her this? He woukd have them fired immediately. He set the glass to the side where she coukdnt reach. "No more for you, darling."
