Yu Huan sat down with a light sigh and a subtle, but happy smile on her face, in a quiet, secluded garden, hidden within the smaller inner courtyard which could be accessed through the room they were celebrating in.
The silver light of the moon was illuminating her silhouette, and enveloping her in its soft and gentle glow.
The music of the Zither and muted laughter could still be heard from the larger courtyard garden facing the other side of the banquet room, the doors to which were open.
"For the star of the evening to disappear in the middle of the banquet…", Wu Long chuckled, stepping into the moonlight from the shadow.
After a short moment of mild surprise, since she felt his presence a bit before he actually appeared, the beauty shyly smiled, a hint of guilt appearing in her eyes about sneaking out, "It's not that I'm not happy-…"
"I know", he didn't wait for her to finish, speaking with a gentle smile that told her he understood, and that it was okay.
