Deirdre nibbled at the last of a dried apricot as she observed the dancing pairs. The young men were all so handsome, and the ladies so fair, but she was admittedly entirely unused to being such an inactive part of any festivity. Of course, this was inevitable in such a mixed group. Goodness, even Aiden was participating! She felt a surge of pride for her shyer brother (could that girl be his mystery lady love?), but though Deirdre wasn't the sort who allowed herself to feel left out very easily, at the same time she was beginning to get restless. Her brother probably didn't appreciate her nosily peering over at him and his dance partner, anyway.
"I am greatly enjoying watching our dear companions dance, but us ladies appear to be at a disadvantage in our numbers," she remarked to the scattered group who also remained seated. "Do you suppose it'd show a lack of propriety on our parts if we cleared off a section of the table for a game of cards?" She laughed merrily, though the remark was only half in jest. "Oh! A better idea - does anyone else here play an instrument? Perhaps we could join the accompaniment," she mused. "It'd be a polite alternative to simply waiting patiently, I'd think."
