Dubin attends the Green Gala with Ruby and Luteti

Dubin, Luteti, and Ruby attended the Green Gala together as a trio, though everyone assumed that it was Ruby and Dubin attending together, with Luteti as the third wheel. Dubin didn't want to go, but Ruby insisted it would be good for him (and pointed out that this was the first time his mentor allowed him to leave The Grotto since he arrived), and Luteti assured him he would be fine.
 
They mostly hung around near the edges of the crowd and didn't have a great view of the performances. Ruby tried to stay for all of them, but had to duck out to use the restroom after the song about the fall of Luminias, missing the fire dance entirely. She was quite sad she missed it when Dubin and Luteti told her about it, as the way they described it made it sound almost Brothan.
 
In the middle of the magical plant performance, they had to step out of the hall as Dubin started to get a headache from the noise of the crowd and their thoughts. It didn't help that thought he started to recognize some of the people in his room from some of his dreams about other parts of the Academy. They found a quiet balcony where Dubin could collect himself. Ruby joined him while Luteti stood by near the entrance.
 
When they returned to the Gala several minutes later, the room was abuzz with gossip about how several of the best performers of the night had all dramatically left early. Brushing off the gossip, they spent the rest of the evening quietly enjoying themselves and watching the remainder of the performances.
