Clothes, Neela had decided as she tugged at the dress she was wearing while crossing the short distance to the courthouse, were annoying. The black dress she was wearing had been the least constricting piece of clothing that she could find while still leaving herself time to wash the dust off it. It hung awkwardly over her form, all the little differences between a human and a Luperci becoming all the more obvious as Neela moved about. Humans had weird leg structures for one thing! The dress didn’t have enough slack at the front and often caught her knees when she walked.
She had to made a concentrated effort to keep her tail tucked beneath her legs or it would bulge up the back of the dress. Getting her long chest hair to not stick up comically through the dress' split - it had been like a white Mohawk extending from her chest when she had first put it on - had taken more water and combing than she liked to think about. Overall it had been a lot of trouble getting ready, Neela had no idea how humans had apparently done this every day! "Got a perfectly good coat'a fur, don't see why it needs decorations" Neela muttered quietly as she passed through the door.
Still she couldn’t argue that the end result looked nice. Neela's concerns about her appearance usually ended at keeping her fur brushed and clean and her ponytail neat but she couldn’t deny slightly enjoying the way she looked in the long dress with her hair out of its normal ponytail and brushed straight. With her wounds all healed aside from an occasional twinge in her ribs and the thinness that had taken her when she stopped eating fought back with a while of healthy dining Neela was healthy and back to normal to go with her decorations, only a thin scar on her left arm showing any sign of the events that had passed just a few weeks ago.
There was a slight hint of hesitation in Neela's step when she entered to find the great hall half full of strangers. Neela snorted and forced herself to continue. The attacks had left her a little timid at the moment but the ball was in celebration of the alliance between Casa di Cavalieri and Cercatori D'Arte; it would be ridiculous to have one of Casa's Famiglia appearing nervous of their new allies at the event celebrating the alliance.
Forcing a smile onto her face Neela dropped her gifts - two sacks of fish and an old human-made flute she had found - down by the table that had been set up and then she turned and walked into the crowd, head twisting as she scanned around the room for a familiar face, or a friendly unfamiliar one.
