Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aurora walked slowly beside the stallion, glancing at him from the corner of her eye. Inwardly, she was bouncing around and giggling like a filly who'd felt the bloom of love for the first time. Indeed that may had even been the truth of the matter, but flutter held back. Pale Moonlight was a cool sort, a gentleman, and to explode into a fit of giggles and gushing over the fact that she'd been out on a DATE with him and how much fun she'd had had would most likely horrify him.

"The story was so wonderful, yet so tragic. Love stories are often written with bitter sweet endings. It is sad that it seems love was more of a inconvenience then something to strive for in such days." She bit her bottom lip, wondering if that was too analytical about the opera. "I did think the man who played Alfredo played him wonderfully. You could almost see him channeling the spirit of the poor man and spilling his joy and sorrows onto the stage and I envied Violetta for having someone so devoted to her." Aurora was still quite new to the world of music despite being a frontmare to a increasingly popular group. It was most likely an affront to proper singers and musicians, people who had devoted their lives to the craft, that the music wasn't her true passion, that she'd only stumbled into it. But she was getting a deeper and richer appreciation for it and learning more about it, especially when Pale was involved. That had been her first opera.

"Oh.." she too noticed the midway's lights. "It's finally warm enough that the Midway is open. I always did like it best at night, with all the lights sparkling and everything having a more dream like quality to it." She wondered if Pale was the sort of phony who could enjoy the Midway. She stopped, looking at him. "I'm..not really ready to go home and, if YOU don't mind, could we, maybe, stop by there..?" she ducked her head shyly. "Unless you have to be home quickly, in which case we could always come back but.."

Aurora blushed and shook her hoof. "I am no opera singer by any stretch though. Those people went through years of training and work and reach levels and pitches I don't think I can. I admire them for it. I honestly feel like a hack." she smiled, gazing at the twirling lights of the midway. "I'm so lucky..and I try to never forget that.." as she says this, she brushes against Pale's side for a moment.

At his agreement to go to the Midway, Aurora practically skipped on the tips of her tiny hooves for a moment or two, before remembering herself and resumed walking, accidentally stomping on the inseam of her fancy silver dress a couple times. "I'm so happy!" she chirped. "I've always dreamed of going there with a handsome stallion at my side." she blushed as she said it.

She trotted ahead as they got closer and after a few moments, caught back up to the unicorn, a large wheel of tickets bulging comically out of her clutch purse. "Now we can do everything as many times as we like!"
