When the plan to go into Club Delacour was suggested, Ayana hadn't thought to be picked to go with the small scouting party. It was old fears coming up, the reminder of her parents and their position, and how she had been treated growing up before she was forced to leave. She had already told herself to not be disappointed when Reinor told her she was coming along. She should have known better; she told herself everyday she was a good asset to the pack, and that she and Reinor spoke about pack matters often, but those lingering doubts and fears still floated to the forefront of her mind. However, a positive attitude was always a good thing. She would have changed her train of thoughts given the chance, but Reinor hadn't hesitated to call on her and tell her to prepare for tonight. While Ayana was rearing to go, she wasn't quite rearing to get dress. She preferred comfortable wear with no shoes; for this, she had to dress up. She had outfits, of course she did, and even nicer things, because she did go into town sometimes and wanted to blend in correctly.
She didn't do anything big or special; just a simple black cocktail dress because it
was a club and, unfortunately, heels. Not very tall, because if she couldn't handle the short ones that well, she seriously wouldn't be able to do taller heels. She could walk but running might be out of the question. She didn't mind losing these, if that was what it came down too. She couldn't really do much with her unruly, thick curly hair, leaving it as it was. No jewelry or make-up, she thought she had done well enough. The club was loud, and crowded, and had a mixture of human sweat and vampire scent. When they stepped inside, her nose wrinkled, not only at the smell, but all the people, the loud music, and heavy strobe lights also made her pull a face. At Reinor's order, she moved forward, breaking off and going away from the bar. The environment was almost overwhelming but she still scanned faces as she passed tables, stared out into the moving bodies on the dance floor. She could smell the vampires, their scent was strong and sickly, and as she began to pass a flight of stairs, she stopped. Her head snapped towards the stairs and she sniffed the air.
Vampires.She felt the beginnings of a growl deep in her chest but she didn't release it, of course. Vampires tended to have that effect on her. She glanced behind her, not seeing anyone else from the pack; the club was busy tonight and they were all lost in the crowd. She looked back up the stairs and took another sniff of the air. Before she could determine a number of how many were on the balcony, a man inferred, smelling of sweat and alcohol. She nearly flinched as he drew close to her, asking for a dance. She felt that unease she always felt around people outside of her pack and she firmly said no before making her way up the stairs, deciding to check it out up there before attempting to find anyone else from the scouting party.
