"Life back home?" Adara looks at the ceiling for a little, thinking. "Not too complicated. I wake up in the morning, apply my colors, then go out with the men to hunt. By the time the men and I return, preparations for food have already been going so we cook what we gathered and then we sleep. Sometimes, there are some things we need to do... entertain younglings, take care of visitors, help the women get to the nearer city for medical aid, that sort of thing, but otherwise, life is as simple as it gets." Adara laughs a little, shrugging. "It's a nice life and while I do sometimes long for an adventure outside the village lines or something, it's not like nobody is stopping me. After all... how do you think I ended up at this academy?" She tilts her head and smiles.

"Is that answer good enough for you, Mona?"

"Not really, I usually only do my own. My symbol means 'fortify' because I'm one of the first defenders." Adara blushes a little when she looks at the reflection, even flexing a bit to see. "Huh. That's how I'd look as a princess... kinda impressive. Hm, then let's do that... I'll keep the make-up until tomorrow noon and we meet. If neither of us have a date, we go out to the ball with each other."

"Alright, since I already did the dare with Athena over here... truth this time. Same rules apply to me, can't weasel out with a dumb answer." Adara hits her own chest in pride, sounding quite powerful. Then, she takes a hand mirror and hands it to Athena, showing her the tribal colors and the five dots with lines on her head, forming a shooting star. "That's the symbol for 'visitor' where I come from. Also, Athena, how about this. If neither of us have a date until tomorrow noon... we're going to the ball together."

Ambrose nods. "I understand, you should not worry. It is just a ball after all, the chance that any of us will remember certain things below the threshold of... oh, I don't know, a mass kidnapping or a pig blood shower, is quite low. So you should just look forward to have as much fun as possible."

Ambrose takes a brief pause, looking at his work. The bottom part was done but... would it cover someone of her stature. He makes a few hand gestures, complete gibberish in sign language before starting to work on the waist. "So, who are you going to the ball with? I suppose someone of your background will have no issues finding a suitable partner?" He looks up, a gentle smile decorating his face. The mid-riff didn't need that much detail, he just had to make sure it was reinforced enough.


Adara shrugs and, direct as always, she points at Athena and herself. "I can give you some leftovers later, if Amby has any. As for dates... I guess Athena's just bored of the current line-up and I might scare people off. That suffice as an answer to you?"

"Well, you want to sound a cut above the rest so people attend your audience but don't want to alienate them, right?" Ambrose smiles, taking the string and inspecting it a little. Hm, unicorn residue... could be a fun magical element. He starts working on it again, not looking up just because of focus. "Meanwhile you tend to switch between rural and city speech like one would walk a tightrope, that is impressive too."



Adara... shrugs. "I don't know. Am I supposed to do anything apart from shower?"

Adara cracks her back a little before turning one of her arms back, patting Mona's back (or whatever she felt like it would be her back at least), rolling her eyes a bit. "Don't worry about that, if he loves you the same way you do, he'll either be the masterthief or he'll hold back. Jail won't be an issue for him but being without you probably will be and he knows it!" She gives a thumbs up with the other, still stained red from the make-up.


Ambrose shakes his head, then concentrating a little on a piece of fabric and not looking at Scarlett anymore. "Oh, I'm not a nature boy as you tell, I just treat the dress for her the same way I'd approach a stage. Make everything flow into everything else, the compositions, the actors, everything must fall in place perfectly. Then, you can perform to your greatest competence."

"Right. Tell me one thing about Kendo you don't like." Adara was quick to the draw and smiles. "And no cop outs like "I don't like that he doesn't like broccoli" or something, it has to be something a little more meaningful than that." She briefly forgot about her needed care and pulls on Athena's cheek instead. A little "sorry" came out.

Ambrose smirks and shakes his head, instead showing Scarlett the string, it was different than normal, almost like a spider's web. "Have you worked with satae before, it's the thing that allows spiders to crawl over walls and such. I thought I could use that to make the dress stick, if given moth fur, why not expand by using naturals only? A stage of distant pasts deserves clothes of that era, after all." He laughs, looking up. That sentence, somehow it made him think of his family... time's a funny thing.

"I'm sure that is how every student felt in the beginning. Every actor starts on an unknown stage, barely knowing the script they were given." Ambrose chuckles, taking out a little bag of... white silky string. He starts sewing with that instead. "Don't worry, you do not owe any of us an answer. You're not in class." He chuckles a little and uses his teeth to bite the string apart, the string sticks to his teeth. "Argh, shtuhpid shetae." He pulls the string out and resumes his work.

Adara still draws a little, now using her nail to make every dot have a little line pointing in the same direction. "Oh yeah, Mona. Truth or dare."

Ambrose looks in the sewing kit and hands Astrophel a bandage, before continuing. "Don't worry, this is the sewing kit of Mona. Given how soft her heart is, I expect at least a portion of a first aid kit in here. So, Astrophel, you seem like an interesting character. Enigmatic smoke, unknown backstory... anything you'd like to share?" Despite the choice of words, his tone made it sound like genuine curiosity instead of an interrogation.

"Oh, it's a pleasure officially meeting you too." Ambrose smiles, shaking his hands while holding the fabric in place with the other. "I've heard of your work, your displays of chemical prowess aren't to be underestimated." He grins, resuming to sew shortly after but he does give Scarlett and Astrophel occasional glances.

Adara stops for a second, biting on her own thumb. "Hmmm..." She then draws a different sign that her own. Adara's usual make-up had four dots on her forehead, but Athena got five dots, arranged like a star.

Adara simply dips her fingertips in whatever powder or color came closest to "scarlet red" and starts drawing on Athena's face, sticking her tongue out the side of her mouth for a little while. She only did it to herself, not to others. Her finger applied some pressure but she did make her best efforts to not smear or push Athena's face like a clay mold.

Ambrose chuckles and nods, shaking the box a little again. "Well, this story is far less climactic than yours. You know Adara, right? The tall moth lady? Her hair is natural moth fur and she does tend to shed and lose some when she tries combing her hair. Over the course of a year, she amassed some and asked me to sew it into a dress." He lifts the sewing kit. "With the help of dear cousin's kit and perhaps a helping hand from Mother Nature, I can make it worthy... though I never sewn a prop of her size before. It's so exciting."

"Oh, I didn't intend to be a comedy but an audience of one is better than of none." Ambrose laughs and gives her a thumbs up. "It would be rude to pass on such an opportunity, though with this dress, I'll appreciate any input, this is my first time sewing in some time. My family is great at it though, so maybe some skills are hereditary. Do you know how to handle... moth fur?" Ambrose sits down on a nearby bench and opens the box, showing lots of moth fur. Mostly white, with a few tiny black ones.

"I was about to ask the same." Adara laughs but does not turn, still letting her do her hair.


Ambrose stops as well, chuckling and his ears actually make a little movement when he hears the clicking of the hooves. "Oh, I remember you, the actor-turned-actress. Scarlet, with an extra t, I believe?" He chuckles a bit and shakes the box a little. "Yep, I am repaying a favor for someone and am making a dress for her. I see you're into the art of crocheting yourself, any projects you want to indulge me in?" The fabric was soft and had a little shine to it, with a familiar shade of white.

"I know exactly one style, that one kinda well and since I don't have my usual ingredient, I gotta improvise..." Adara thankfully leaves out what that "usual ingredient" is. "But well, sit opposite to me, that way we can make each other's make-up without distracting Mona over here."

Adara thinks for a second. Then grins. "If you do my make-up, I do yours." Given together with what she said before... yeah, Athena might receive a tribal paint.

Ambrose meanwhile goes outside of his dorm for a while, with the sewing kit and a piece of fabric together. His room was limiting his creativity, he needs something more open. Plus, it would be a great composition, if the fabric was held together by natural materials.

Adara blinks a little, then putting a hand on her forehead, where some red dots where. "I don't know any other make-up other than the tribe classic... alright then." Adara makes a simple gesture to make Mona stop for a second, spits in her hand and drags her hand across her face, removing any markings and dots she had before. Only brown skin, a surprisingly gentle nose and small cross-shaped irises with a yellow scalera were left. "Go ahead. Your turn. Truth or Dare."

"Dare." Adara grins, this time a little more malicious. "Give it your best shot, Athy." She thought with a little nickname, Adara could tickle out a little more enjoyment.

"Not even me?" Adara jokes and makes a little seductive pose, though it might be subject if a "seductive pose by the 340 lbs moth girl" is effective or not. "Better idea, let's play Truth or Dare then. Are you in?"

"Oh, I can tell that they're just lovebirds and just waaaaiting to make their own nest. Or heck, the way they're kissing, maybe a cocoon would be a better fit." Adara laughs, in her ears, that was a compliment. "Question though, with you two being these "noble elites of Selin." Adara made a little posh accent but it clashed a lot with her natural accent. "How come you're the one without a date?" She asks Athena... very bluntly.

"You're still going to those?" Adara raises an eyebrow, chuckling a little. "They don't call you elites for nothing, I tell you what. Though honestly, you all deserve it with the amount of pressure you probably got going on."
