OOC: sorry for the wait, Hotaru is very overwhelmed XD
Hotaru had thought long and hard about the gift he would give to the Cavalieri pack. She had been lucky enough to receive the honor of traveling with their leader and ranking members and felt that she should make something special for the pack. Even so, choosing the right gift wasn't easy. Hotaru had spent hours sitting in her wood room simply thinking. She didn't want to make a weapon because the ball was supposed to represent peace. Staves and carvings were out because they were too mundane and normal. Hotaru wanted to make something special. At last it had come to her, an instrament. More specifially, an ocarina.
Resting inside the blind females satchel was a delicatly carved, wooden ocarina. Its figure was smooth, the sound clear as a bell. Along the ocarina's face was flower, carved just on the surfface and blooming below the mouth piece. Hotaru was proud of her work and it was one of her masterpieces. Instruments weren't the easiest things to make, nor were they her forte. In fact, her first attempt at making the present had ended in near disaster. Despite all of the dificulties, she had managed to create a beautiful instrament and she was proud to present it to the wolves of Casa di Cavalieri.
At fisrt, Hotaru had been excited to go to the ball. Dalgina had cornered the wolf before leaving and had fussed over Hotaru's appearence. Although the female wore no clothes or jewelry, she was groomed to perfection. Dalgina had managed to straighten her lopsided hair cut and helped to clean any imperfections in her coat. Hotaru's summer fur shone with radience and her blind eyes sparkled with excitment. Unfortionatly, her giddy joy had died almost as soon as the party started.
Red ears were pinned against the blind female's head and it took everthing she had to keep a frown off her lips. The sounds, the smells. They overpowered the female and confused her senses. Releif came breifly when the leaders spoke, but it was almost too much for Hotaru to bear. Even Fawkes and Kelia weren't happy with all the noise. Both birds sat quietly next to Hotaru as she rested in the corner. Fawkes only left Hotaru's side to dropoff the ocarina for his master.
