Despite the events of the previous evening, Moiraine has chosen to attend Ingress's ball, at least for a brief time.
Her words to Ace had been true, of course: she will not allow herself to despair. She will not give the Dark that satisfaction, that victory.
And so, when she dresses for the party, her choice of gown is as deliberate and calculated as if she had been choosing armor. It is a reminder, for another's sake, and for her own as well-- and better far than the white of mourning.
Thus, those who know the Aes Sedai may be very surprised to see her in a pink frothy confection of a gown, but her manner is perfectly serene as she glides toward Ingress, a wrapped gift in her hands.
"Good evening, Ingress. Are you having a lovely ball, I may hope?"
