#thread: alina x dorian 03

It was a big deal for Alina to take off right after the wrap of Nutcracker. It wasn't exactly like she had ever celebrated Christmas or any other winter season holiday. It was the years of messages with Dorian that made her curious. Was it a risk to show up in his hometown (kingdom really) to surprise him on New Years Eve, definitely. She knew he could not only be busy but likely had company. Alina never saw herself as a person that took risks or stepped out of her comfort zone, but she found herself wanting to move beyond her well established safety net for him. The last time she'd come it was for auditions and now that the Nutcracker wrapped this surprise wasn't just that she wanted to kiss that very handsome man at midnight, she was moving to be a principal dancer at the national ballet. Slipping into the crowd, a bustling throng of people awaiting the fireworks over Kylanth's castle, Alina's weaved slowly through them with her eyes looking for just one particular person. She'd left this moment to fate and as she looked up at the castle's windows, catching sight of a familiar form kissing a pretty blonde, her heart sank and she leaned against the cold wall as she tried to will her heart to calm down. Only for her pulse to quicken when a hand took hers. "I'm fine, really."
