I smiled at the closeness of hers and the adept's - Troy's - opinions. "Thank you." I said warmly, then headed back to the change room.

I returned the peer's smile and said, "your welcome," before turning back to Dine.
"So, I hope you do decide to get that dress, I am hungry all of a sudden."

I laughed at Aaliyah's impatience. "You're right, I did promise you lunch, old friend. Let me slip out of this first."
I walked back to the changing rooms and, seeing as the peer was in the first one, took the second, smaller room. After a small struggle, I slipped back on my green popeline and returned the dress to the counter.
The clerk asked "So, do you intend to take it?"
I looked at my purse and said "I'd like to put a down payment on it, so I can reserve it." I had just remembered I intended to get some work on my marque done and didn't want to spend it all on a dress in one payment.
After a short negociation, we agreed on terms and I turned to Aaliyah. "Ready?"

I came back out of the changing room to find the two women getting ready to go. I waited for a moment as they sorting things out with Marie, then made my way to the counter. Marie looked up expectantly, and I smiled softly.
"I don't suppose you could make this gown in a navy blue?" I asked, taking the advice of my fellow shoppers.
She smiled in return. "But of course. Here, if you have a moment, I have a fabric in mind..."

"Ready!" I told Dine. "Is there any place in particular you want to go?"

I curtsied to the lady as she came back in acknowledgement.
Setting my arm around Aaliyah's waist, I said, "My darling, you have had the patience of Eisheth today. Your pick will be mine."

It didn't take me long to think. I have always been a fan of the White Hart Manor. Their food is very tasty and I enjoy drinking an occasional glass of wine there.
"Then lets go to the White Hart Manor!"

I made a mental note that I needed to be back for the dress before the next palace fete, ans with a last discreet smile to both the peer and the clerk, I followed Aaliyah out of the shop.
