Terra stood at the edge of the party, much as she had at the last ball, her hair done up in a fancy style and dressed in this dress. Her father's magicite hung around her neck as usual, though it stood out in stark contrast now to her pale skin, instead of being hidden beneath her clothes.

She had a glass of wine in her left hand, and sipped from it every few moments as she watched the crowd. She had every intention of socializing, unlike her last appearance at such an event, but she hadn't quite worked up the nerve just yet.

Hopefully the wine would help. (http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy154/gatekeeping/dresses/siriano02.jpg) ()
