The next morning after my time with Monique I headed out to find a mask for Midwinter. The themes had been announced and we at Orchis were to be cats. I actually found it fitting and was eager to find an appropriate mask.
I needed to find something to wrap Nyx's scarf in as well while I was out.
I made my way to the clothier's district, wandering in and out of shops. The word was out that the adepts were going as animals, so there was a veritable menagerie to in every direction. Most of the cat masks I was coming upon just didn't suit me, they all looked vicious and ready to pounce. I didn't need cuddly, but I didn't want bloodthirsty either.
Walking in to yet another store I found some rather promising looking items. Yes, yes, yes… these would do well. I broke out in a wide grin when I found an orange and black striped tiger mask. It was a full head mask with a fall of fur down the back, and a mouth that curved in an almost smile.
I took it to the counter and negotiated the price with the shop girl. I counted out the coins as she wrapped it in paper and tied it string so I could easily carry it home.
On the way back to Orchis I stopped and bought a pretty paper box to put Nyx's scarf in. All in all, it had been a wonderful shopping trip.
