This whole “ball” reeked of suspicion. At least to Ava it did. After all, why would two fairly obvious non-humans be invited to it? Half of the people here were either baseline humans or seemed to have hidden away their powers. At least one or two might have had horns or a tail, but that could have just been the “aesthetic” of fetishizing powers. 
Mattie didn’t seem to grasp that it might have been odd, or she might have and was more suited to ignore what was going on in favour of being delighted with her dress. Ava could see why. It was a very pretty dress and very sparkly to the point where wearing it in the day would have made the bat-woman’s eyes sting from all of the bright sparkling. She smelled sweeter than usual, an artificial sent that allowed Ava to know it was perfume rather than the usual soaps Mattie might have used.  
In turn, Ava supposed she was the opposite. Suits were more her taste, but a party like this required easy movement as well as fitting in to a degree. She was glad that she had complied as every woman here was in a dress and Ava would have stood out - more so beyond her ears and wings. While Mattie was bright in a ballgown that glittered, Ava had gone for something more her style in a sleek black dress with a cut down the middle of her chest and up the side of her thighs, revealing pale thighs and a pale chest but hiding the knives and gun she had hidden away. Red jewels were found in the end of the dip and collected around her hips while silver armbands and a think silver necklace was put together with black heels and rings on her fingers. 
Ava’s hair was even more swept back than usual, showing her less-than-human details of large twitching ears and white on red eyes alongside dusky black and red makeup. Not to mention the large black fur coat she had to help with the cold and to hide parts of her wings. 
Her ears picked up at fruit, but that wasn’t all she had on her mind tonight. “Mattie, does it...seem odd to you? How no one else here seems to be the same as us?” Ava whispered, leaning down to the shorter woman and after a moment, her ear flicks in thought. “Where did you say you got this invite again?”
