Discarding her clothes quickly Alysia stepped into the shower turning the hot water up high as she relaxed against the tiled wall. Why was her stomach such a bundle of nerves? She was beyound estatically excited for tonight but once again uneasy. Taking a calming breathe she closed her eyes. Tonight was going to be a good night. She was determined to make it so. Her mother and Eris weren't here to prevent her going. Let alone to stop her from spending time in Destirel's company.
Reaching down she gathered the shampoo bottle tipping a large portion into her hand then lathering it through her hair. Dunking her head under the shower she quickly rinsed it off. Would tonight bring the opertunity for her to meet the boy? She could only hope for a relief to end her nightmares. Maybe it would cease once she knew who he was. Then all she had to do was save his life right? If only that was an easy task.
Opening her eyes she quickly tossed the conditioner in her hair then turned off the taps. What now. Did she dress causually and not bother with her hair and make up now or what? Nibbling her bottom lip she quickly pulled on her shirt the jeans following suit. Destirel, she figured wouldn't be bothered by how she dressed. Besides she'd never worn make up much before and didn't plan on changing that any time soon.
Waiting on her bed for Destirel to return wasn't much fun. Infact she was near a bundle of nerves when he arrived. Throwing open the door at his knock knowing full well it was him her hand shot out grabbing his wrist ever so lightly as she tugged him into her room. " I need you to do something for me." Frowning she quickly unclasped her amulet looking less then comfortable with what she was going to do. " I don't like not having it with me. Can you keep it in your pocket please?" He'd surely realise how much trust she was placing in him to even ask Destirel that was a big thing for her.
Clasping a hand to her mouth she looked away embarrassed. " I'm sorry I didn't even say hello." Giving him a sheepish smile she looked him up and down. " You look very smart."

The last thing Destirel was expecting was to be pulled into Alysia's room without her saying anything first. Though he did realize that she seemed a bit flustered over something. That something happened to be her amulet. Smiling gently, he nodded his head and took the amulet gently from her. "I shall keep it safe on my person until you ask for it back. I promise" He said softly, his eyes warm as he knew the trust Alysia was confiding in him.
At her complement, Destirel jauntily rolled back on his heels. "Well thank you very much, madam." He teased a bit, smile on his lips. He took off his hat, holding it underneath of his armpit. "In have a selection of outfits and a chest of accessories for you to choose from back at my home. The ball will begin in an hour, which should give you adamant amount of time to get ready. Ignis will be there to help if you call for her. I hear that the dresses take a second person, though I really don't know for sure." He tried to explain, hoping that he would like the ones he had chosen. He would take her to the closet if she wanted but he had worked hard to find ones he thought she might like. He hoped that she might like. "Shall we be on our way?" He then questioned, looking happy but nervous at the same time.

Alysia breathed easily as she nodded her head. " Thankyou." With a grateful expression she took a step back allowing Destirel the space she had invaded.With a giggle she watched Destirel as he teased her. Really though he looked picturesque perfect in her opinion. Studying him quietly she then quickly looked away blushing hoping he had failed to see her staring.
He had gone so very much out of his way and for that she was ever so grateful. " Yes. You do look very nice." Shyly she nodded " Let's go then?" she spoke shyly.

Destirel had indeed noticed that Alysia had been seeing but he didn't mention it or even act as though he had seen. It was cute, as always, how she turned away shyly. Much different then the upfront and brash people he had grown up with. Nodding his head at her thanks, Destirel placed his hat on top of his head.
Smiling as she said that he looked nice once more, he held out his hand for her to take. Tipping his hat towards her, he smirked. "I shall try and make this a very memorable night for you." He told her confidently, though paused and decided to add, "Well, in a good way of course." Shrugging his shoulders lightly, he waited till she grabbed his hand and then they were off in a puff of shiny black smoke.
Quickly their feet were on the ground once more, Destirels room dimmer than normal due to the fact that it was beginning to hit evening. Letting go of her hand, he stood back for her. "The outfits are all laid out on my bed, shoes underneath. I hope they are your size. There is additional stuff in the chest. I will be outside so yell if you need me, or call Ignis's name and she will come." He spoke, his tone a tad bit flustered for some reason. He wanted to give her time to change and then time to explain what was going to be going on, so he hoped she didn't mind his brief entrance and exit. Just as he was about to shut the door, he popped his head back in. "If you don't like any let me know and I can take you to where there are more." Then the door shut and he leaned up against it, mad at himself for seeming like a fool on a first date.

Alysia looked up catching Destirels eye. BUSTED she'd so been caught staring at him. Feeling more confident then usual and determined not to be unerved by his prescence she flashed him a 'So?' looking slightly uncaring that he'd caught her in the act.= before dropping her gaze. Like it or not she was still very much shy around Destirel, more so out of embarrassment. She was no longer fearful of his prescence let alone intimidated but to be blunt he was a male after all a very handsome one at that.
Taking his hand she smiled softly the usual blush forming as she felt the pull from the smoke. It wasn't the nicest way of travelling she could think of but it would do. Letting herself ajust she realised his hand relived to find herself in Destirels room. At least there was privacy here right? Standing still for a moment she gazed at the bed taking in all the dresses. " There beautiful." She commented. " I like them." She spoke quickly just to reassure him.
Already she knew without a doubt which two she preffered, the blue or the green. What to decide. Frowning she gazed at the door. She could ask Destirel, but he'd probably just embarrass her. " Ignis?" She called shyly.

Destirel was glad that Alysia liked the dresses. That meant he wouldn't have to show her the other ones. Now he was just worried about everything fitting her properly. Sighing softly, he hoped that everything was going to be alright this evening. It should be a fun night of festivities and orderves, but with the gods one could never be too certain.
----- Upon hearing her name, Ignis formed out of one of the fire lamps in Destirel's room. Popping up, she practically floated over towards Alysia. "Oh, hello dear. How are you this lovely evening?" she questioned, smiling sweetly and petting her hair. She so did want to pile those beautiful golden locks into something amazing for the ball tonight. As long as Alysia allowed Ignis to help, the nymph would make sure she was the most beautiful female there.
"These are some lovely dresses are they not?" She spoke, looking over at the colorful articles of clothing, their masks sitting on top of them. "What can I help you with? Dressing, hair, picking out something?" she sounded ever so eager to help as if she wanted to use the poor child as a doll, though she was very kind, at time Ignis could be a bit over bearing.

Half jumping in suprise Alysia breathed a sigh of relief. " You scared me." She admitted. Giving the fire nymph a gentle smile she stood still allowing the nymph to pet her hair. Honestly, she couldn't never understand what it was with her hair that seemed to attract all nymphs. Well not that she could account for all nymphs, but Ignis certiantly appeared to like her her as did the wood nymphs. They were forever braiding it and peraiding her around like a show pony.
" I'm good. Yourself?" Ever polite she gazed towards the dresses. " I know. It's just deciding which one to wear that's put me in a bit of a pickle. " Reaching out she touched the green one. " I like this...as well as the blue. " She explained. " I can't decide which one to wear."
With a shy expression she looked down at the shoes. How was she ever meant to chose shoes to match the dress let alone settle on a mask she preffered. Destirel had left her with to many choices. " I need help with what to wear..." She spoke slowly. Quiet for a moment she fell silent deep in thought. Ignis could very well help her look the part of a goddess. Even if she suspected the nymph of meerely wanting to dress her up like a doll" Maybe you could help me with everything?" She asked softly. Hair, shoes the works. Anything that would help her fit in the slightest bit more would be a blessing.

"I am absolutely wonderful dear." Ignis responded in a chipper fashion. Listening to the girls dilemma, Ignis smiled as she was done. It was a relatively simple fix, though both of the dresses she had picked were by far the best of the two. "Well, then lets find out which color suits you the best." She explained and swooped over to the dresses, handing the masks to Alysia.
Holding out the green dress first, she positioned Alysia in front of a mirror, holding the dress in front of her. "Put the mask on." She said in a hushed tone, moving the girls hair to fall artfully over her shoulder. "This one looks quite lovely on you." She told her, Ignis's touch warm as she played with Alysia's hair. "What do you think?"
After giving Alysia a moment to look over how the colors looked on her, Ignis switched and held up the blue one, motioning for Alysia to change masks. It was a simple thing to do and if she still couldn't decide then she could just try them both on and choose the most comfortable one. Sighing lightly, Ignis held Alysia's hair up for this one, only a few strands hung down in Alysia's face. This one looked great with her skin tone as well. Destirel did have an eye for things, she had to admit." I do like this one a lot as well. "Ignis commented, her face looking as though she was figuring out what would go best with what dress.

Her chirpy tone brought a smile to Alysia's lips as she let herself be reigned in by Ignis and her enthusiastic nature. " That's good." Eyeing of the dresses again she gave a nod of her head. Letting Ignis position her infront of the mirrior she gave a fleeting glance at it before carefully picking up the mask. It came as little or no suprise that it suited her. Green, like Destirel had stated was her colour and the mask was ever so beautiful. Taking another look she studied her appearance taking in the change of her hair thanks to Ignis. Flushing with embarrassment at the nymphs compliment she quickly shook her head. " No. It's just a lovely mask." She corrected the nymph. "
Only,so was the other mask though. Well only one way to find out which was more fitting. Placing the green mask gently back down on the bed she quickly picked up the blue one. Holding it gently in her hand she studied the colour quietly. Blue, such a wonderous colour and the mask was beautifully made. This wasn't going to be an easy task.
As ignis fiddled with her hair again, once more changing it's appearance she studied her reflection in the mirror. The masks were equally as beautiful as the other. How was she to decide on what she liked best. " I still can't decide. I really like them both."

Sighing softly, Ignis knew it wasn't just the mask. Alysia was a very lovely girl. She envied Alysia slightly because of it. She was like Destirel and she knew that the boy would probably start to have feelings for the female god child. After all she was someone he had been searching for his whole life. Ignis used to sit and listen to the boy talk as a child, his dreams, wants, and ambitions. He was an interesting god to say the least, his wants a mix between childish selfishness and a brash selflessness.
Watching how Alysia reacted, Ignis wasn't sure which one she would pick. Green was the girls color for sure but the blue really made her stand out, the mask Ignis's favorite on her as it seemed delicate but was made to have strength. As Alysia stated that she was still unsure about which dress to pick, Ignis chuckled some. "Well, I could always cut them in half and sow them together for you." She joked, with a sly smile on her lips. Backing away, she put the blue one back down on the bed and held out the green dress.
"Well, you can actually put them both on if you would like." She offered, though shrugged her shoulders. And walked up to Alysia, hanging the dress over the side of a chair. "OR, I can help you list off the pluses and minuses of the two which in all honesty will take a shorter amount of time." Smiling sweetly, she went behind Alysia and played with her hair, picking it up and putting it down as if to figure out which way she liked it better.

That hint of envy, no matter how subtle Ignis made it still lingered there. Closing her eyes she counted down to ten. Ten, nine, eight. " I really need to control this." Sighing she looked to ignis a smile playing on her lips. The nymphs joke was just the pick me up she needed. Not to mention laughing always did her the world of good to calm her nerves. With a soft laugh Alysia nodded her head. " I'm sure I'd look quite the sight then." She answered in a joking manner.
Reaching out for the green dress she picked it up. " These look awful to get into though. No matter how pretty they are." Well there was no point delaying it further. Crunch time. Holding the dress in her arms she looked at Ignis slightly embarrassed. " I'm going to need help."

Nodding her head, Ignis smiled and took the dress from Alysia. Taking out the thin petty coat, undergarments, and corset; Ignis handed Alysia the undergarments and corset, motioning her to which to put on first. She would help her tie up the corset after it was on.
While she waited, Ignis got accustomed with the skirt and bustle, putting them on the bed, the outer layer was on top of Destirel's pillows. Sighing mentally, Ignis remembered how much of a pain they were to get on and off but really they looked quite magnificent on most women, adding to their curves in ways that most modern clothing couldn't. Peaking over at Alysia, she checked to see if she was done yet.

Getting dressed proved to be quite the horendous task as she fumbled with the difficult clothing. A corset. Uhh not so keen on the item of clothing she bit her tongue not wanting to protest. The blue dress had been the one she'd selected and despite her shy nature she was beginning to feel quite pretty in the item of clothing.
Next had come the shoes. Not that she'd particularly cared for them. Shoes weren't her thing but of course she'd have to wear them especially for a dance. Keeping quiet she'd let Ignis decide what pair best suited the dress however the mask she'd already picked out before the dress and shoes.
Standing up straight she looked over to Ignis refraining from fidgeting with the dress as she curled her hair around her fingers. " Can I see Destirel now?" She'd permitt the nymph to play, mend and do something with her hair knowing it would look perfect once finished but she'd still rather see Destirel first.

The whole mess of getting the poor girl dressed took them quite a bit of time. Taking a deep breath after Alysia had chosen the dress, Ignis marveled at how lovely she already look, though she couldn't help but roll her eyes when Alysia stated that she wanted to see Destirel. Shaking her head, she sighed. "Of course, go on and tell him to come in." She commented, before going over to the bed and plopping down on the soft fluff of comfort.
Destirel had been waiting outside, feeling a bit left out and wondering what on earth was going on and taking them so long. He knew that they took a while to put on but as they were going, they might be a bit late, though fashionably late was the saying wasn't it? Leaning against the wall, his eyes were closed as he waited to see what was going on and when he could see Alysia.
