[Nimiane Aragon]

"Excuse me, sorry, excuse me. Thanks, can I just get past?" Nimiane had to force her way through the hoards of crowds of people standing in the hall, as they seemed to set up a baricade against her getting out. She was reduced to snaking through all the people, trying to break through temporary chinks in the line until finally she was free! It was getting too hot and stuffy for her in the hall, so she figured a bit of fresh air outside would do her the world of good. Plus, she hardly felt like she should even be here in the first place, for one thing she was certainly not celebrating was King Uther's birthday! In fact, it was more of a personal celebration and the chance of free food and dancing was an offer she simply couldn't refuse.

But sadly she was on her own tonight. The other druids weren't too keen on showing their faces around Camelot, and as Nimiane had the ability to change her outward appearance at will it didn't much affect her.

She felt strange being here, celebrating such an occasion when she herself, wished the man dead. There was no more a stronger isolated feeling than standing right here in Camelot for she felt way out of her depth. She felt strangely lost and unfamiliar, as spending so much time in the forest and around the outlying villages it was very rare that she actually ventured into Camelot. And now here she was, in the Castle swooping right under their noses when at first glance or recognition of who she was, would be sent straight for a death sentence. But luckily, this was a masked occasion, which gave ger a chance to cover up her identity and take on a different persona for the night.

And just for today, she was going to be one other than Nimiane Aragon. Just for the night she could pretend that she had never been outlawed and cast out from the city. Temporarily she could forget her disposition and just enjoy the night before everything resumed back to normal again. Just this once..
