The dance turned out to be a great idea. Mom bought me a sky-blue dress with a sash of some gauzy golden stuff. Laadren behaved more or less like a gentleman, even during the after-party. And that's when it got interesting after all: the after-party took place at a student's house (not someone I know) where I met Professor Dartorralen. He teaches border safety techniques to scientists and travels around to different universities giving lectures. We talked for hours about his youthful adventures doing fieldwork, and then he showed me his collection of taxidermied beasts -- these are fake models of mythical creatures pieced together from different animal parts. He leaves his collection and other stuff with his relatives here, and visits whenever his travels bring him close enough.
When I got home, I apologized to my parents for resisting their attempts to send me to the dance, and told them I had a wonderful time. I just didn't go into detail explaining why.
