Naisis has not been to a ball in decades, so she decided to go to this one. She decided to go as fully human and wear the only real dress in her wardrobe, a burgundy long-sleeved ball gown with pearlescent trim and long black silk gloves. She added a pearlescent mask and crystal slippers to finish it off. Flutterpip came as, well, Flutterpip but with a matching dress and mask.
As soon as they entered the ballroom, Flutterpip was off to the food table (which is the main reason she was here). Naisis just chuckled and looked over the guests seeing if she could recognize any of them. Well, she did, but they were not anyone she suspected. Seated at one of the tables was a 19th-century English gentleman dressed in black and an 18th-century Southern belle dressed in lavender complete with parasol and hoop skirts (how she could sit with them on was a wonder). Both were wearing masks. His was the color of the moon, and hers the color of the sun. Avax Set (the gentleman in black) beckoned for her to join them, which she does.
As she sat down, he came right to the point, "it is approaching that time again, and Deanai has selected the - Wolfsbane - as the place. We would like you to take care of it. So that you know, the Wolfsbane is a - bordello."
She blinked and stifled a snort-chuckle. She has not met Deanai Set in person, but what she has heard of her, it did make sense.
"Is not she the one to take care of that?"
"Yes, but we would like someone that knows the place and is competent to get it right."
Now she let out a snort-chuckle at that snide remark.
Soon the band struck up another waltz. The lady seated beside Avax piped up with her southern drawl, "I believe they are playing our song."
Avax got up and offered her his hand, "so I believe, wish to join me?" The woman smiled and excepted. Soon they were on the dance floor waltzing away.
Naisis sat there a moment, taking in all she had learned before getting up and heading to the food tables, wondering if the hungry-hungry Flutter left anything.
