Kat after exiting the Council room goes to find dinner. But instead finds Adalia and her dogs waiting for her.
"Adalia," Kat says in greeting.
"Kat, your finally out. I was beginning to think I would have to wait all day."
"What do you need me for."
"I wanted to see how the job went."
Kat gives her a suspicious look, "What else do you want?"
Adalia laughs, "What makes you think I want something?"
"You never seek me out unless you want something."
"Alright I want you to come with me around the City," Adalia looks at Kat pleadingly, "I know you hate walking around in crowds of the City, but I need your help. I told this guy that I would bring a friend to dinner and you are the only one I can ask. I promise I won't try to set you up with his friend and I'll even make you look nice. All you would have to do is sit there. Please."
Kat rubs her forehead, "Fine, I'll do it."
Adalia smiles, "I promise you won't regret it."
"I already do."
Adalia laughs, "Come on. It could take me until nightfall to get us both ready."
Adalia heads to the front door with Kat and her dogs trailing behind. Outside people shuffle about generally ignoring each other. Adalia leads them to a market where vendors were selling different items. She walks straight for a man selling fabrics and clothing.
"Ah Boris, it is good to see you again," Adalia says.
"Adalia! My best and favorite customer. What can I do for you?"
"I need a new gown, one of my old ones was recently ripped in a fight and I have a dinner party tonight."
"And you friend?" He looks at Kat and recognition opens in his eyes, "I remember this one. She has a body that works with the best colors and fabrics. Sadly she lets it go to waste."
Adalia nods in agreement, "I was thinking something in a deep purple that shows of her back and something in an orange-red for me."
The man nods and starts draping fabrics across the women. It isn't until the sun starts to sink that the dresses are done. Adalia pays the man and they walk back to Adalia's room. Adalia sat Kat down and starts doing make-up and hair.
"I don't know why you always keep your hair so short. I can never do anything with it."
"It is easier to chop it off than to try and keep it nice."
Adalia sighs and keeps working once she is done she touches up her own make-up and pulls our the dresses. Kat slides into hers and looks at herself in the full length mirror. The dress is a purple that could almost be black; it hugs her curves, but not tightly, until her hips where it falls gently to the floor. It has a halter neckline and no back so the purple crescent moon is visible.
Adalia comes out of the bathroom dressed in a tight fitted dress the color of fire. With peacocks on the skirt. "I almost forgot that you had that on you back."
Kat turns around, "And I never can. Let's get this over with the longer I am in this, the greater chance Cade will see me and I will never live that down"
Adalia laughs, "Only Cade could do something like that."
She opens the door to her room, motions for her dogs to stay while Kat follows her out.
Adalia smiles, "I promise you won't regret it."
"I already do."
