Dear Diary – I dared to try out the new outfit lady Damassande made for me today. It’s in red and purple to go with lady Dmitreva’s house colours. It came in this huge box with silk ribbons on it. The whole thing’s so fancy I was was all intimidated by it for days. I swear the box stared me down.
Well today I went off to do a proper invitation to her Grace dul Ansari to the masquerade party – and felt I should probably do so in the right colours. So I gathered my courage and tried this new fancy thing out.
… I don’t think lady Damassande ever got to do a Jester’s garb before, but she went at it with quite some enthusiasm. It’s very, very pretty! And so colourful! The new cap ‘n bells feels strange after having used my green-blue one for so long, but the bells jingle better. There is also a new set of larger bells on my hips … will take a little practice to get them to ring properly. One hip-swaying jester coming up! This divided skirt-thingie is not so awkward as I had feared – but If I stand on my hands the divided skirt do fall down to show a whole lot of bare leg – if not anymore than so. Lithmorran scandal nevertheless, just an acrobatic move away! Will need to keep that one in mind for slow evenings at the pub…
