[Shadow Mask]

Being here, made Shadow Mask feel strange. It vaguely reminded her of the balls she to take part in, somwhere far, far away, long time ago. In that other life. Although, for her, this seemed to be much more shallow and distasteful than anything she could remember.

She admitted, though, that her attire wasn't matching for masquarade of this sort either - large, poofy dress, or at least flowing skirt would be required - but she had not come here to dance and there was no strict dress code - many had dressed in clothes unfit for a ball.

Right now, she was simply wandering trough the crowd, waiting, looking... She was still unsure if whoever had given her the message to meet him here would recognize her, and what was the purpose. It could be not to give her new assignment, but to get rid of her... But Shadow Mask wasn't afraid - a small blade was hidden in her sash, and there was always more reliable weapon, just one thought away.

Besides, it wouldn't be wise to start a battle in middle of such a crowded place, so, that idea wasn't very believable anyways. And she avoided any foods and drinks, just in case.
