Ah, a ball, how pleasant. :3

The evening was more excitement than he had been accustomed to but he was glad to be part of the alliance. He still had training to do and if he had any hope outside of the library he would have to put in a lot of effort. Though, for now he would focus on mingling with the other pack. When he had joined Casa he had thought there had been a lot of wolves, now there was nearly twice that number. Smoothing down the thick fur on his chest, he maneuvered through the crowd to make it to the table that held gifts. To him, his offering was of great value and he hoped some educated canine would take it up and enjoy.
Held in his light paws there were two books, well read and concerning scientific matters spanning a great amount of content. Coeus had practically memorized them and decided it was time to give them up. From what he heard, Cercatoi D'Arte enjoyed an artful life, he was positive the colorful, even if slightly faded, pictures would be inspiring to look at. As he set them down, he pulled out his other gift which were just simply rabbit pelts. Though as he felt them, he believed they were some of softest he had caught and set them on the table happily. Pulling away, he looked at faces familiar and unknown. He pulled on a welcoming smile, maybe he would meet someone worthwhile this evening.
