Finishing off my dessert, I nodded in agreement.

The maid came and I paid our due, leaving her a generous tip for her discreet and efficient service. Turning to Avrielle, I said, "Was there a particular shop you had in mind?"

I shook my head. "I got a dress at a little shop for the last fete, I thought I might try there again."

"Let's get moving then," I replied, standing and about to offer her my arm, when I noticed To-Biko was doing the same. I smiled to myself. Let her choose, then, knowing I would not resent her choice either way.

Name of Elua! I didn't know which arm to choose! On the one hand, I had already held Gillermo's, and on the other, I didn't want to slight either of them. "Forgive me, my lords, for the choices are so enticing, I know not which to pick." I thought another moment. "I think for a delicious dessert, it will be my lord Stregazza."

To-Biko bowed respectfully, and I could see the sligth regret in his eyes. "Perhaps another time, then," he replied, melting himself in the background as we took the road again.
"Well, Avrielle, did you have anything in mind or shall we see together what may cover this delightful body of yours?" I asked as I opened the door to the shop, waiting for her to enter it.

"Something blue," I said thoughtfully, stepping through the door, "but not pale, or navy...something different."

"Very well," I said, thinking to myself that women can be complicated creatures. "Let' see then what we find." To-Biko had heard, and stepping into the shop as well, he started looking at the various fabrics.
For myself, letting go Avrielle's arm an instant, I found some lovely petroleum bleu silks. The dress was modest, but the color was rich, a good complement to her eyes, and its cut would accentuate Avrielle's hourglass figures.
Holding out the model, I smiled, "Would you be so kind as to trying this on? I'm sure it would look lovely on you," I said with a laughing smirk.

Taking the dress, I excused myself to the back of the shop and put it on. Stepping out, I swayed a little bit, feeling the material swish about my ankles. "What do you think?" I asked him.

My eyes widened as Avrielle stepped out. The color did indeed complement her green eyes wonderfully, and her figure, full and feminine, was well worthy of Heliotrope House. I lost myself in thought for a moment, imagining her without the gown. She must indeed look rather lovely as well, I mused.
"It becomes you, Avrielle. You have a beautiful body," I added without thinking, then realized what I'd just said. "From a purely esthetic point of view," I corrected, my smile just on the edge of devilish.

I blushed and smiled, though it was more impish than flattered. "Thank you," I said. "I think I'll take it then." Ducking back into the dressing room, I put on my clothes and stepped out to pay the attendant.

I looked around the shop while Avrielle was in the back changing, thinking about Cascata's tastes and wondering if any of what was around might please her. Patiently, I waited for Avrielle to finish her transaction, then offered her my arm.
"Shall we walk you home, or did you have other errands in mind?"

Taking his arm, I said, "I would love it if you walked me home, thank you."

"Lovely, Avrielle, I'll be glad to." I headed to the door, then stopped. "Before we leave the store, your advice on an idea, please?"

"Of course," I replied.

I smiled. "I have a mind to offer my sister her dress for the Coronation. I'd like you to tell me what you think of one I've noticed."

"All right," I said.

I walked over to a purple dress I'd noticed, and holding it up, I said, "What do you think of this one?" It had some interesting pleats and a nice shape, something I thought Cascata might like.

I studied the dress. "If you sister looks anything like you," I said, "I think it would look lovely."

I laughed. "Are you suggesting that I would look lovely in this dress, Avrielle?"

"You might," I said with a laugh, "but I mean that if she shares your looks and coloring, the dress would look very nice."

I chuckled. I would be loath to get caught, dead or alive, in ladie's garments. "Thank you Avrielle. I will offer it to her then," and promptly made way of the transaction with the clerk. Offering her my arm once more, I resumed "To Valerian House, then, lovely Avrielle?"

"Yes," I said, taking his arm, and together we began to make our way back to Valerian.

Avrielle and I walked back to Valerian House, bantering our way. She was of the comical sort, and I made a note to follow her debut closely. A special number such as her deserved some follow-up, I thought.
I left the sultry girl at Valerian House, promising to myself I would greet her warmly, should I encounter her again.
