thank you @antivan-sprig for the tagg! I have so many old works that i just never finished or continued

context: This is a backstory I was working on like a year ago for my MC from baldur's gate 3. a Teifling druid name Ash Glowtree. this is when she first meets Wyll Ravenguard, they are both 16-17 so around right before Wyll ends up in a contract with Mizora. It's a masquerade that Ash and her older sister snuck into.

Another chuckle escaped his lips. The two started the waltz, as the music soared all they could focus on was their movements. The nervousness that Ash once had was long forgotten. the room seemed to fade away from around them, leaving only the Teifling and human perfectly in time with one another. “I have never-” Wyll started his sentence, breaking his concentration causing him to trip over his own feet and barrel towards her as they came crashing to the ground together. the room slowly faded back in as gasps swept through the room. They both stared at each other, horror plastered on Wyll's face. Ash broke out into a laugh “you broke concentration, has anyone taught you that you can’t talk during the waltz.” she ignored the glares that she was receiving from the human and elven nobles alike. a smile slowly crept on his lips “I thought I was going be able to be the first.” He pushed himself up before leaning down, gently placing his hands on her lower back and wrist to help her up. She could feel the heat from his palm through the fabric of her dress and her breath hitched. The two tried to hold in their delighted laughter as they made their way out from the middle of the floor. Valxi pushed her way through the crowd, striding over to the two “Ash are you alright?” Her gaze followed Wyll's arm, who still kept his hand placed on the lower of Ash's back. A smirk crept on the older teiflings face before she curtsied "I apologize, I am Valxi. Ash's older sister." he removed his hand, crossing his arm over his abdomen and bowed “I am Wyll Ravenguard, it's lovely to meet you." “I just wanted to check to see if my sister was ok, and now that I know she is, I'll leave you two alone.” she gave Ash a look with a small glint in her eye before she turned around, searching through the crowd "Damn it, where did he go?" just as fast as she emerged from the crowd, she vanished into it once again.
