Smiling and looking on the day with my normally good-natured demeanor I had woken and dressed, eaten a quick meal and then made my way to Eglantine. After letting Calandria know I was there I was shown to a sitting room to wait for Aaliyah.

I was fetched by one of the adepts when Landis arrived. I had already dressed and made sure I looked as perfect as I could earlier. I was standing in my room studying my wall of paintings, one task I could do without messing anything up.
I walked down the hall, excited for the assignation and made my way into the room, though I kept myself proper. I wore a long gown of dark purple, a change from my usual color. It did seem to match my hair in its own way. It was elegant but simple.
I curtsyed in greeting and said, "good afternoon Landis de Verreuil, I hope that your day has been pleasent so far."

"Please, call me Landis," I requested in a friendly tone, smiling wider. "You look very lovely, purple suits you."
Rising I took her hand and kissed it lightly as a bidding for her to rise. "Are you ready to depart or is there something else you have to do?"

I smiled, "thank you Landis." I smiled as he kissed my hand. "I am ready to go," I told Landis.

"Then lets away," I replied, offering her my arm. It would be a pretty long trip, but I hoped we could pass it in pleasant conversation and at least make it a bit shorter.

I happily accepted his arm. I didn't leave the city often so it would be fun to see something new. Though I would make sure I entertained my patron first.
"Do you know the bride or the groom personally?"

"No," I replied with a smile as I led her out toward my carriage. "But I'd like to meet them, if only to offer congratulations."
Once we were at the carriage I smoothly opened the door for her and waited until she was inside before going in and closing the door.

I followed Landis out to the carriage. "I would like to meet them as well, though I only know them by name." I followed him into the carrage and took my seat, making sure my skirts were properly arranged so they would not wrinkle. "I bet the weddding will be beautiful as well."

"I have no doubt of that, though I think you're the loveliest thing likely to be there." Smiling widely I stroked her hand, then pulled away slowly, not wanting to give her the wrong impression, that I was pushing. I truly thought she looked beautiful and it was in my nature to compliment where I saw room for it.

Landis really was sweet. I was starting to feel myself lucky for having him as a patron instead of someone else. The fact that he was very appealing to the eye just added to the fact.
"You flatter," I said, though my smile showed plain as day that I was not bothered by it. "Though I can not get away from doing such things myself, for I find you to be quite eye catching as well."

"I'm honored to hear so," I told her with a smile, kissing her hand. "Then let's have free leave to compliment one another as we feel the whim and become friends of it."

My smiled broaden, Landis had a way with words. "It sounds like a good night," I told him. "I will freely compliment as I feel fit."

"Then I think we'll get along," I replied, smiling and kissing the back of her hand before releasing it.

Landis was very sweet and I couldn't help but to like him a little for it. Though I couldn't claim to like him enough to call it a crush. I was even more happy though that it was him who contracted me and not someone else. I would thank the Do'wayne later for choosing me and not another adept.
I put a little tease in my voice, though part of me was tempted to make good on my thoughts. "Perhaps if you flatter me enough tonight I will paint you a small portrait in thanks. A little adept gift that will be truly unique."

"I'll do my best to keep doing so in that case, you most beautiful Eglantine," I told her with a grin, understanding the game and playing along. "I promise I shall do nothing but give you adoring looks and drool on occasion unless I'm spouting poetry."

I put my hand over my mouth as a giggle escaped and then removed it to speak. "Why thank you Landis, and if you should drool I shall be quick to clean it up before anyone notices. Though I am sure that you will still be hansom with a little drool on the side of your lips."

"I can only hope so, as that seems to be my only avenue to a portrait," I teased. It was good that she liked to laugh and play, for that would only make things more comfortable later.

"You must really want a portrait then," I said a big grin on my face. "If you put in all of that trouble I will have to be sure to make sure it is just perfect."
