“When you said I was supposed to wear this thing I thought you were joking!”

Nim looked down at Victor who was wearing his clothes that had even more frills than his own, with a mixture of mirth and mock sympathy. “Now Victor, we're going to a ball at the castle, and you can't look like a street urchin.”

Victor looked at Nim incredulously while fingering one of the frills that flopped down over his wrists. “You really expect me to believe that? Those clothes you had made for me are mostly silk. What kind of street urchin has silk?”

“Your right, you wouldn't look like a street urchin normally, but these people wear silk everyday, they even sleep on it. If you go in just basic silks they may think you're a serving boy, which can be good for hearing conversations and not being seen, but you would still stand out too much for that.”

Victor didn't understand what Nim meant, he didn't think there was anything special about him really. He then looked at Nim's outfit and scowled again, it wasn't half as frilly as his own. “I think I'm sure to stand out in this outfit, did you ask the tailor to drown me in this stuff? “

“Well Victor, that's the plan. I figure since you'll stick out like a sore thumb anyway, we might as well make people stand up and pay attention while we are at it.

You need to look upon them as your equals, or near equals at least. I don't want you gaping, control your body, and keep your mind on track to the task at hand. We are here to gather information, and to acquaint you with this type of people. It's too bad that this ball is the one we have to start you on, but there's no getting around it.”

Their certainly was not any getting around it. The invitations for the ball had been hand delivered earlier that afternoon to those parties deemed worthy enough to attend. Nim told Victor that those with enough power who lived elsewhere would have been notified with just enough time for them to be able to pack their things and begin traveling. Of course, many of these people had Shapers in their employ that could warp the distance, so it wasn't uncommon for those people to be notified at the same time as everyone else. Victor remembered Shaylyn commenting about the different ways in which such a thing was possible, but he was finding it harder to recall specifics from his time with Shaylyn as time progressed. He had commented on this fact to Nim who had told him that it was something that happened when you got older. Old memories compress and make room for the new ones to come.
