“Sophie Satíne, on behalf of Comte de Troisville~?” Glad to feel herself stepping into somewhere which was well lit and most of all warm, a young woman with pink hair who wasn't entirely truthful with her name walked forward with an embossed invitation to an event which had been the talk of the capital for months, and would ordinarily have been the last place in truth to see her really.
“You are too kind~” Happy to allow the men in the foyer to take her coat from her even if she did feel rather well out of place right now, even if she didn’t look it, the newly recruited mage of the pegasi voiced her thanks as she looked around her venue furtively, and felt glad that she didn't have to come to formals like this all too often.
I rather hope I haven't been too ostentatious…? Feeling rather exposed right now and not just because of the plunging neckline she was wearing either for that matter, Sophie's idea of a good evening was to spend it in the company of a good book or the right kind of friend, and so walking into a place which was filled with strangers and certainly not ordinary ones was something that she couldn't deny made her feel very much outside her element.
It really didn't help having Alisa egging me on, did it~? Hardly looking it of course as she wore something silky and shimmering and with it sported gems that dazzled her all the more, though these facts more on account of the gifts she had been given by the woman in charge of the guild and fortune as well when it came to her genetics, it was sure to see from the lingering stares and drooping jaws of the people she passed that she was welcome visually at the very least, even if this wasn't her usual form of post-dusk entertainment.
Suppose I better find my teammate for this exercise~? Attending such a soiree on business however and perhaps this likely to be the only reason she might do in fact, she was not here to catch the eyes of those of wealth and power in Fiore or the lands with whom she was friendly, but rather on account of a little problem which some seemed to suspect might plague the evening, and thankfully was not alone either.
Marceline was her name, right~? Acting undercover and so much so that she had used a little spell to mask magenta mark which identified her now as a member of the Blue Pegasus guid, she and one of her other rather fetching fellows had been assigned here to arrive discretely but with purpose, and together might just manage to spare the evening and the people who attended her some rather significant hardship. After all, tonight the daggers in the dark were said to be quite literal, weren't they~?
