There were people, but what would a gala be without people? Quieter, probably. Less… glittery maybe. Was glittery the word or was it glitzy? No, the camera flashes as she raised her hand to the sparkling crowd seemed very glittery. They wouldn’t need an announcer without the people, they’d just have the hall and… she supposed they would still need the musicians. Yuina didn’t really mind them.
Yuina stepped forward as she had been directed to by their manager, light on her feet, her fingertips just brushing the railing, her gaze on the crowd but never really direct. To seem there but somehow just beyond. That’s what her manager seemed to think that’s what it would show anyway. The eyes of the crowd were on the two of them, and a polite applause filled the room. A woman stood next to the man holding the microphone, her dress embroidered with the wings of a butterfly.
Flakes of gold in eyes of amber, brilliant white teeth in a perfect smile. When she moved and the stones in her dress sparkled, all eyes turned to her. That part Yuina didn’t mind.
“Lovely, aren’t they? It’s always a treat to see the new stars shine so brilliantly.” The voice was beautiful, and almost sounded like it lingered just on the edge of laughter. “They’ve been truly marvelous, going well beyond what could ever be asked of two so young.”
“Come now, don’t be shy,” The woman held out her hand. Cameras clicked. “Let the crowd have a good look at you, ah.”
“Mitsumi, Karen and Okazaki, Yuina.” The original announcer filled in. The woman smiled.
“Beautiful names, aren’t they?”
