[And whom would appear but Ashura! And when heard this was a ball, well, he had dressed for a ball. His best robes in black and red and white, sashes about his waist, his best earrings and favorite ruby necklace. His hair his done up in spiraling braids, pinned wit his favorite ornaments. All in all he is a walking monument to his people's culture and even some of the newer culture he has learned here, as the trews he bought from Josak's shop are on under the robes (and thus cannot be seen) and new boots (for the walk here, oh god trying to get here in his normal robes would have been awful).]
