[color=gold]“Sakura you are magnificent a vision of spring.”[/color] He said as he admired the beautiful dress. [color=gold]“Truly a sign of the renewed life we shall bring to Avalia, and what a fetching mask to match. I have always suspected that everyone secretly desires to be cat.”[/color] He added chuckling a bit at his own joke. He nodded when Sukura asked if they were ready to head out. Although the prospect attending an event with so many enemies seemed daunting, he felt that they had already survived worse. If there truly were allies to be found at the ball, Cade had faith they would find them, after all, Avalia herself wanted them to succeed. [color=gold]”I wouldn’t worry too much Ayita, we have survived an encounter with a dragon, I have no doubt we can survive a ball.”[/color] He said confidently, he felt more than ready to give this new adventure a try. ---------------------------------------- Although the place the ball was held at was grand and beautiful the first thing Cade noticed when they arrived was the smell of food that permeated the air. His stomach growled with excitement as he scanned the room until his eyes became fixed upon the most radiant of sights; the table that held a massive feast. With a great amount of restraint, he stayed with his group and continued to take in the sights of the rest of the room rather than follow his nose directly towards the food. Upon taking in the sights of the rest of the grand hall he wondered just how easy it would really be to blend in with high society. This ball was very different from any gathering he’d ever been to and he doubted the people here traded stories of battles with trolls or of hunting great beasts. They even seemed to dance and eat differently than the company he usually kept. It was clear he would have to study people hear more closely in order to mimic their behaviors. [color=gold]“I guess now we mingle, and hopefully eat? It seems they have a fine spread laid out and I would hate to see that go to waste.”[/color] Cade suggested.

He was less than impressed with the obscene opulence of the grand hall, the damn building, and the things it contained, were probably worth more than the entirety of the village he once called home. The shear amount of people here made it seem like finding other humans would be more difficult than locating a needle within a haystack. But at least there seemed to be an ample supply of alcohol which would mean soon enough the vast majority of the ball goers would be losing their wits enough to make picking pockets a more useful way to spend his time here. It would be easy enough to get money for further travels with the amount wealthy people packed into the hall. [color=cyan]”Check out Lord Turnip over there, I bet just one of those gems would feed an orphanage for weeks.”[/color] Bowyn whispered to Belle and Torvi as the entrance of the light elf governor was announced to the crowd of people. The sickening amount of wealth on display at the ball was more than enough to make Bowyn lose any appetite he might have had for the table of finely prepared food. A lifetime of seeing rulers and nobles flaunt their wealth and power while the common people toiled and starved was more than enough to convince him that living away from it all, alone in the forests, was a better way to live. [color=cyan]”Shall I go grab us some drinks while you pick out a table?”[/color] He suggested, doubting he’d make it through the evening sober without scoffing audibly at the whole thing.
