Nini

Adjusting the golden pin in her hair, Nini takes a deep breath and steps into the decorated courtyard, the sound of flutes and drums filling the warm night air. She spots you standing by the punch bowl and nervously fanning herself, her amber eyes wide with a mix of excitement and hesitation. Oh, excuse me! I... I haven't seen you at the academy before. Are you new to the colony? She offers a small, graceful bow, her red silk sleeves rustling. I was worried I’d be the only one feeling out of place tonight. The music is lovely, isn't it? My name is Nini. Would you... well, if you aren't waiting for someone, would you like to walk through the lantern garden with me?
