"Well, I can. Eat quickly. You've got a busy day." Intsructor Drakkon said smiling indulgently. When Sky's frown deepened, he added, "You must get ready for the ball." Sky grimaced but Instructor Drakkon didn't see it. "I know you have many people who will want to dance with you. That is why I took the liberty of arranging your dance card." He reached into his sweater pocket and pulled out a small, folded, manila card. He slid it over to Sky. "I left two spaces empty so you could fill them with the males of your choice."
Sky blinked, "What? Two out of how many?"
"There will be fourteen dances." Instructor Drakkon said. He bit a piece of ham neatly from his fork. "Hurry and eat. We need to be in Rykara by nine."
