“A handsome face is indeed nice, but not necessary,” I said, chuckling. The waiter returned with our food and when he’d left again, I leaned closer to her and said lowly, “A handsome face can be quite nice in fact.”

With a sideways glance as he walked away my smile widened a bit and I laughed almost silently as I leaned closer to Josette and used a confidential tone. "And other handsome things as well, I'm sure." At that I gave a rather pointed glance to the waiter's rear as he walked away, then glanced back at her and winked before I took another sip of my tea.

I giggled with delight at just how much my new friend and I thought alike as well as her comment. “I’d have to agree,” I replied, eyes dancing.
Picking up my fork, I tasted the fish salad. “Oh, this is lovely.”

Josette and I really seemed to be getting along well and that was a nice thing as far as I was concerned. I had other friends already in the City but she was the first female I'd spoken to as a friend who wasn't in my own family and I was glad to see we had so much in common. When she picked up her own fork I set down my teacup carefully and did the same, taking a small bite of my chicken salad and chewing and swallowing behind my hand as I'd been taught. "This is really good too, thanks for the recommendation of it," I told her cheerfully once I'd finished what was in my mouth.

“My pleasure,” I said, smiling and then focusing on my food, finding I was hungrier than I had realized.

There was a companionable silence as we both ate- the food really was delicious and the tea was absolutely fantastic. The window caught my attention at times and I watched some of the things outside of it interestedly before I'd go back to my food or drink.

I sat back in my cha, my food finished and I took a sip of tea. “That was just the thing,” I said with a smile. “I shall be up for hours of shopping after this.”

"Well, that's for the best because I can shop for a pretty long time," I said with a laugh after I'd set aside my fork and wiped the corners of my mouth with my napkin. "Which shop did you want to head to first?"

“Bella, I think,” I answered. “We can deal with the practical stuff first and then move on to the more daring. How does that sound?”

"It makes the most sense," I said with a nod. "How far is Bella from here?" My tea was finally starting to get a bit lukewarm so I drank the last few sips and then set my cup down to brush my hair back over my shoulders.

“Not far. We can hire a carriage though if you’d like, somewhere to store our purchases.” Seeing that we were done, the waiter came to clear the dishes and asked rather obviously if there was anything else he could do for us. Grinning, I looked at Noemi, my eyebrows raised questioningly.

"I was thinking about having mine sent straight to my house just so I wouldn't have to worry about them but a carriage is a good idea too," I said with a smile, then glanced at the waiter before seeing the expression on Josette's face, which nearly caused me to burst into giggles right there. What kind of plan was she working on? Whatever it was I wanted to see it and I raised my brows quickly and gave a nod before I gave the waiter another smile and flushed slightly.

Crocking my finger at the waiter, I got him to lean down and I whispered in his ear. I felt his skin grow warm and his breath caught slightly. When I was done, he stood, looking from one of us to the other. Then nodded and told us there was no charge for our meal, before moving away, nearly tripping on himself.
Grinning, I looked at Noemi again. “I gave him my address and told him to come by at nine tonight. I told him that I at least would be there and if he was really lucky you might be there as well.”

In some way I almost felt bad for the poor waiter with his blush and the slight stumble when he walked away- but then Josette told me what she'd said to him and I simply laughed. "No wonder he looked so shocked and gratified all at once," I teased in a quiet tone, then bit my lower lip to hold back another wave of giggles. "It would be interesting to be there and see what happened if he saw us both as well. I think he might pass out in anticipation."

“Oh Naamah I hope not, then we’d just have to figure out how to wake him back up,” I said with a laugh.
Oh, I was so glad to have run into Noemi, I could tell we were going to be good friends.
“Come, shall we go start our dress shopping?”

"Oh yes, I think we shall," I said in a playfully lofty tone, giving Josette a wink as I stood and the a girlish curtsy. "What better way to spend the time before you have to go home and wait for yon gentleman's arrival? Perhaps there will be something there to surprise him with."

“Too many more surprises and he will faint,” I aid with a laugh as I took her hand and led her out of the shop, heading us towards Bella.
