Karigan couldn’t remember the last time she had been made to wear a dress. Oh wait she could. It was back before she had left home. It wasn’t that she hated dresses… They were just not very suited to her choice of profession. Thankfully she had found a way to strap at least one of her favorite daggers to her leg under the fabric of the skirt. As if she would go anywhere unarmed completely. Even a party.
Though she did feel sort of out of place at such a party. Even hidden behind a green mask with gold accents. Her dress was in similar tones of green. The dress and mask had been gifts from a mystery person. Only a note came with them. It had been vague at best. Not even handwriting she recognized. Part of the reason she came armed with a hidden dagger.
“These skirts make it so hard to move.”
Karigan’s ears twitched at the sound of someone speaking to her. Her tail swished back an forth gently. Her eyes looked the elezen woman up and down with interest. A bright smile forming on her lips.
“Aye. Can’t say I’m a fan either. When ya used to dressing in clothes for movement, dresses feel so… Restrictive.”
“Did you really think hiding your cheek bones was going to fool anyone?” “Do I…know you?” “Have we met before?” “Are you sure I don’t know you?” “Your eyes are absolutely captivating.” “I don’t think we’ve met yet.” “May I have this dance?” “You look positively enchanting this evening.” “I’d know those dazzling eyes anywhere.” “These skirts make it so hard to move.” “Some of these costumes are so extravagant. They must have cost a fortune.” “You look quite ravishing in that dress.” “You look quite handsome in that suit.” “Can I see your face?” “I don’t think you want to see my face.” “My God, you could fit an entire circus under her pannier. How’d she even fit through the door?” “Champagne?” “My feet are killing me.” “I never thought I’d see you in something so fancy.” “I feel like I’m rubbing elbows with the queen right now.” “Care to sneak away with me? I doubt we will be missed.” “Can you guess who I am under here?” “I’d compliment your beauty, but I can’t see it under there. You’ll have to accept my compliments to your mask instead, it’s quite lovely.” “I can’t hear you through that mask. Did you really have to choose one that covers your mouth?” “Do you know who I am?” “Do you know who she is?” “Do you know who he is?” “You’re very light on your feet.” “Ow! It’s like you have two left feet.” “I’m a terrible dancer.” “Who cares if you’re a good dancer? Have fun! No one will know it’s you anyway!” “No one’s asked me to dance all night…” “I feel like I’m in a dream!” “Can we please go home? This is torture.” “How did I ever let you talk me into coming here?” “I prefer watching from the sidelines to participating.” “You’ve spent the entire evening at the snack table.” “Can I cut in?” “I have to go.” “I’m not supposed to be here. If they catch me I’m in trouble!” “Please. What is your name? I want to see you again.”
(Okay reblogging again cause I want to. An cause I wanna see if I can get some more of these to do. Maybe for Lance even. Or Karigan. Dest got three last time. They were quite fun to do.)
A protector. With an amazing blend of optimism, nurturing and goodwill,
you lend your strength and energy to those in need. Your seemingly
infinite goodwill and boundless supportive energy make you the one
people turn to when times are tough. Your greatest strength is, of
course, also one of your weaknesses, especially if you neglect to take
care of yourself. At times like these, it’s a good idea to take a step
back and focus some of that protective energy on yourself.
Fennel
You’re quiet, sometimes shy, with a tendency to be reserved. You have a
humble, kind nature and often find yourself taking care of others. You
can be known to hold things in, and you don’t always speak up for
yourself. This tendency to hold things in can lead to disturbances.
Nettle
Truly a nurturing and supportive friend, you’re the kind of person that
just isn’t for everyone. But those who take the time are rewarded with
your gentle disposition, and the kind of friendship that does a person
good no matter the difficulty they’re facing. When out of balance, you
can become more prickly than supportive or nurturing, though—a sign that
you need to shower yourself with the same kind of nurturing you so
freely give to others.
(Did the other two because I wanted to. Just dropping them behind a cut to reduce the scrolling pain. XD)
Dandelion
Scrappy and tough, you’re a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps kind of
person. You don’t give up easily and you often thrive in situations that
others would find discouraging. You have an instinct to serve others
and see yourself as most useful in times or places of crisis, but you
may over rely on your toughness and forget how sensitive you really are.
Ginger
Spirited. A feisty and fiery companion, quick with an opinion, a laugh
or an idea. Warm, friendly and inviting, you never allow an awkward
moment to pass. In fact, even cold and distant people warm up to you
more quickly than others. Negative experiences or too much indulgence,
however, can send you into a bit of a tailspin, and when hurt you may
become quite cold and distant. Ginger people do best when their natural
warmth and affection is flowing freely, giving them easy access to their
love of life.

Slippery Elm
Let’s just say you’re a vocal person. Sure, that might mean you’re
chatty. But it also means you’re the one humming in the hallway, singing
in the shower, speaking your mind, standing up and shouting if need be
to get yourself heard. You’ve got a voice and you know how to use it.
Inclined to speak up for the voiceless, defend the defenseless or simply
bring joy to the joyless, you may have a tendency to overuse your
voice.
