Nina & Dani hair & makeup. thread set before all of Nina & Dani's other threads.
There hadn't been any kind of official confirmation that tonight's gala was in honor of La Quinta's newest residences, but there wasn't a single bit of doubt in Nina's mind that they were celebrating that instead of the full frost moon. (Was that even a real thing? She wasn't sure.) The mere act of holding a gala was like some sort of flashy Capitol show-and-tell, too, a true sign that when she'd chosen this place as her shelter she'd aligned herself with a perpetuator of the injustices she'd once dreamed of thwarting. And now here she was, dressed to the nines in the only gown she still had with her hair done, participating in it all the same.
Still, there was food and there were drinks and she'd found a dress for Gemma. (Nina didn't even want to dwell on that issue. Not right now, when she was too sober.) So she mingled around, careful to convey a bit of gregarious ease to satisfy whoever was watching her, until she caught sight of someone she knew.
"There you are!" Nina held her glass out to the side as she stepped in to give the woman a one-armed hug, grateful for her attendance. "And thank you again for helping with the dress." She took a sip of her drink then once they'd pulled away from each other, studying Dani's appearance unconsciously. "You look great, by the way."
