“Gentle Breeze” sauntered offstage, then practically ran back to the shared undressing room. She all but collapsed into her chair, just as the alchemical concoction wore off, the particular shade of silver she used fading away as her own natural teal re-asserted itself. Her red mane practically flashed back into existence as the blue gave up the ghost. Her cutie mark had, thankfully, been covered before the group of off-duty guardsponies had entered the dressclub.

How had she managed to forget that Flare’s bachelor party was tonight? It had all worked out, though; Lariat, Flare, Cloudhammer, and Aegis had failed to recognize her.

The extra bits she earned dressing were going to a very good cause. Soon enough, she’d have enough saved up that she could go back to just the one job, cloud relocation technician. For a while, at any rate. The twins she’d just learned she was going to have meant she’d only be flight-worthy for a few more months. Maybe she could sell some of her mixtures? She wasn’t too bad of an alchemist, if she didn’t say so herself.

She was done for the night, despite the calls for her return to the stage. The Human “school girl” outfit had proven popular as usual, but with some of her friends and, practically, family out there, she wasn’t going to risk it. She opened the door...

….to find Flare standing there, being led back to the....private session...rooms. By luck or providence, he didn’t turn her way. 

Slowly, “Gentle” Breeze closed the door, and decided tonight was a good night to stay until closing.
