As Gróin and Lily danced, he noticed that he wasn't having as much fun as he normally would. "And I think Lily is feeling the same way," he thought to himself. "We're both trying to enjoy ourselves, putting on a show for others to make it look like nothing was wrong, yet we can't convince ourselves with that mask."
After the next song finished, Gróin stopped and clapped with everyone else. "Well Lily, it was a pleasure to meet you and to dance with you. I had a great time, but I'm rather tired and need rest. I hope that we'll meet again tomorrow, before I depart for the Blue Mountains. Good night my friend, and thank you... for everything."
