The Yule Ball was about as much excitement as a ghost could get himself into these days. Gone were the times when The Dark Rider would wander over the glens and remember his mortal life. The years had whittled his memory down to the few precious thoughts of a time now past. Once he would be welcomed at the feasts of his people, the comforts of his Lord thrashed about in ways he could never understand, but it was all so different now. The thought of attending the ball had not been a simple one and he'd talked it over within himself many times before coming to a final decision. Now he sat upon his steed and looked down over the Great Hall as it was decorated and pushed to conform with their simple ideals of beauty and decadence. The Dark Rider had memories of much grander affairs than this, but chose to allow the children their dreams. Who was he to come into them and talk them down so fiercely anyway.
The celebrations were coming to a height soon and so he turned his horse and made his way back out of the hall. If he was going to be attending this thing, he was not to be attending alone. Despite what he was sure many of the younglings would think, The Dark Rider was not accustomed to attending these functions alone, once he had a family, though they were long since gone, he retained much of his pride and went off in search of some company. He discovered it in the form of another Ghost, Gladys Wright, someone he had not spent much time with. Not that he spent any particular amount of time with anyone. He much preferred to be by himself, or out on the grounds remembering the feeling of when he was alive. It was the knowledge of being a ghost that haunted him now, his life was so long ago that he often forgot just how long ago it was. He did not know of any ghosts, older than he was now. "I find it rather strange, the fabrics they weave into coverings. I never imagined sights such as these in my days as a mortal." The comment was to Gladys, but he did not care to notice if she'd heard him. He was rather preoccupied trying to figure out if one of the dresses on a student was actually a dress, or a very short tunic.
