Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
Preparation
Brigid was first given "courtly habiliments." She had been presented an outfit not too different from the one she usually wore but lacking a skirt. It was blue in color, the color associated with death in Evabon culture but Brigid took little notice of that. She had thought that the "courtly habiliments" she would be given would be more than what she had usually wore. The material it was made of was unusually common as well she would have thought it would have been something less common.
After Brigid had changed into her "courtly habiliments", an arm ring was put on each of her arms and an anklet on each of her ankles. They were made of solid gold. Brigid did not understand the fascination with gold some people had. Being an Evabon it was only natural. To the Evabon things like gold and jewels were not treasure. They were things to make treasure, things that in ages past great Evabon heroes and chieftains would have been buried with: a sword, a helmet, things like that.
After the arm rings and ankles, Brigid found her skin being covered in blue chalk the same shade as her "courtly habiliments." When that was done, her hair was then dyed a brilliant blue. When Brigid was given a moment to look at herself in a mirror she could not believe how she looked. In her opinion she looked rather silly.
This was how she was to look when she danced with the Blest Thag? Why would any girl wish to be a thag dancer if this was how she would have to look when she danced with one?
