[you could not pay this girl to stick around for even a second of this, and not just because of her typical aversion to the scale of the noise! no...
no, she's an absolute mess! she hadn't even entered the storm the moment it appeared, yet she looks like she spent a month in the mouth of a dead volcano! to say nothing of her hands...gods, her poor hands. all of that magic, all the overuse...it's not just itchy, annoying scales anymore. these are talons. she's mortified, and she will not be sticking around to be gawked at in this state!
it's why she's beating a path well away from the festivities as they kick up, desperate to get home as the daylight fades, trying to dip out of sight from any passers-by or nosy sorts in their vehicles. gods, this place has too many people.
this, of course, means that one ill-timed car-honk is going to make her squeak and startle, and, because of course, have her bump into someone she at least knows.]
