Gathering: Masquerade Ball

[concierge]

A large sign placed prominently in the Nexus lobby reads:

The Nexus Hotel
proudly presents the
MARDI GRAS MASQUERADE BALL

Event Location
Nexus Dining Hall
8 PM - 2 AM

Masquerade dress recommended, but not required for all guests

The Dining Hall's central table and chairs had been removed to create a dance floor wide enough to accommodate fanciful masquerade costumes. On one end had been placed a long bar providing free drinks, and on the other a small chamber orchestra providing the music for dancing. The entire room was bedecked in gold bunting and twinkling candlelight, and masks were available for those guests who hadn't brought their own.

"Some of them, anyway. Take my sister Sansa, for example. I think she has a gown for every day of the month," Jon said, laughing lightly. It had been a long while since he thought of Sansa but the idea of a wardrobe overflowing with shoes and gowns made him think of her before anyone else.

Dawn has to smile when he mentions his sister. Not only because they have the whole siblings thing in common, but also because he speaks of her with a certain amount of fondness. She likes that. "How many siblings do you have?"

"Five," Jon said, smiling a bit at the thought of them. While it still hurt to know that Robb was dead in Westeros, barely only a man, he knew that Robb was alive and well back on the island and that was enough to satisfy Jon and keep him from any deep melancholy.

"Two sisters and three brothers."
