As Atlas talked about having the responsibility of his family on his shoulders, that resonated with Albina. She however found it quite pretentious of him to assume responsibilities only lay on the oldest boy, there were most certainly many responsibilities for the oldest girl as well. She wanted to express her feelings, without being disrespectful or too direct. “Ah, Lord Atlas, it appears we share a common burden then, for I too understand the weight of family expectations and responsibilities of being the oldest born. In a world where our roles are often predefined, it’s rather intriguing, don’t you think? Tell me, how do you navigate these expectations while staying true to yourself?” These last words were spoken at a moment where the dance pulled her closer to Atlas.
For a little bit, the dance was performed in silence, Albina could feel Atlas’ thoughts had wondered off away from their conversation and dance. She was about to feel like maybe it had been a regret to accept this dance. Until he asked he a question that thoroughly caught her attention. She let out a chuckle before replying: “It’s a question as old as time, isn’t it? While societal expectations certainly play a role, I do believe in the possibility of finding love even amidst these grand gatherings and their infinite formalities. But, let’s say I’m here with an open heart, willing to be pleasantly surprised.” her facial expressions softened, and a smile brightened up her face. “What about you? Are you seeking love in this sea of social obligations?”, her eyes locked on his, in anticipating his answer.
