Thiul stood in front of her mirror, squinting at her reflection. She hadn't bothered with any makeup, Thiul's skin was pretty much flawless and lips pink enough to look like they had lipstick on them. She felt like putting her doctor's jacket on top of this to make it more like her but she was going to see Huilu at the ball, and Thiul didn't want to risk disappointing Huilu, or worse, angering her. That woman was even scarier than Thiul when mad.
Hal was out, Thiul had extended his curfew today since she and Huilu had needed some peace to dress. Huilu was already gone to the ball, and Thiul was just waiting on Titus, who was the reason she was going in the first place. He had asked her to go with him, and Thiul had to admit she was looking forward to this. Titus was good company and Thiul was interested in seeing what kind of event a masquerade was. She remembered that while in college her classmates had thrown masquerades but Thiul had never gone, she had concentrated on studying. And the one time she did party, well...
Thiul stood outside her and Hal's rented apartment, there was a chill in the air but Thiul barely felt it. She was absently tapping her ice cane against the ground, which also matched her outfit. In fact her whole outfit was centered around ice. But that fit Thiul perfectly, so she actually quite liked it. Not that you'd get her to say it. Now all that was left was for Titus to show up.
