Summary: Joy is strange in Ellone's heart.

It is a strange feeling, this bright warmth in her chest, as she watches Squall and Rinoa take the first dance. It flutters against her ribs like hummingbird wings, light and fast. It has been so long since she could feel that simple delight, and not have it shadowed by seeing forward and back, by the weight of what is and what will be. Now, she has almost all of her family together, and her family grows.

Ellone clasps her hands tight together over her heart to hold in the joy, to keep it safe and nurture it, and smiles.

Thank you! Ellone is sadly neglected, it's true.
