Aleni had spent most of the day getting ready with Karo and Mizao, rather tentatively dipping her toes into the art of gushing over her appearance and plans of what to wear and how to fix her hair. She was set on a rose skirt that was a close shade to Riyo's hide, matching it with a white cotton blouse that hung to her hips. Her hair, she settled for something simple: pulling back the strands framing her face and braiding them at the back, tying it off with a white ribbon. She forewent using any makeup, and on finishing getting ready herself, she helped Karo and Mizao with their own preparations how she could.
Leaving Riyobith was the hardest part, but the gold herself encouraged her rider to go, assuring that she wouldn't be going anywhere- happy to pass the day in the company of her brown brothers. And of her pets, she took only Skylight.
Getting a lift had been easy, considering Vitra's willingness, and on arriving at Jask Aleni had spared just a promise to find her friends after the ceremony to spend the rest of the day with them. She sat with the other ranking members of Mavros, admittedly tuned out most of the ceremony as it dragged on, and rose as soon as possible. There were plenty of introductions made and people to smile and bow to as she edged her way toward the festivities going on outside. She did her best at it, knowing that such events were likely to be required of her and trying to make a decent first impression of the many Lords, Ladies and Weyrleaders who had attended.
That didn't mean she was reluctant to slip away at the first chance, easing her way out into the warm sun and fresh air, sending Skylight to locate Mizao and Karo and to let them know she was on her way to join them.
