“Fading beauty,” I said with a wry chuckle. “I’ve already noticed the signs. Perhaps that’s why I feel such an urge to be daring.”

I shook my head. "You Cereus'." I said shaking my head still. "You're all so dramatic about your beauty." But I gave her a sympathetic smile since I knew she would truly worry about it.

“You’re not the one who’s already getting wrinkles,” I said. I shook off the unpleasantness and smiled at her.
“I’m going to go try it on,” I said before heading for the dressing room.

I nodded to her, but didn't say anything else as she walked off to go try on the gown. I felt truly sorry for Zoeline, especially since I knew she was beautiful despite her worries. But I also knew her well enough to know that she was part of a house that demanded a certain amount of presure to look a certain way. I had spent time in Cereus, it was how I knew what she was going through. Once she was behind the curtain I followed after her, choosing a rack closer to where she was. "I think you'll look dazzling in it Zoe." I called out. "You could always pull off such beautiful gowns."

I slipped off the robe and began to put on the gown, being careful to make sure all the straps ended up in the right place.
“Thank you,” I replied, knowing she could hear the smile in my voice. “I always had such a good teacher in you before you left, teaching me what would look best.”
I got the dress on and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Oh yes, this was it.
“Tell me what you think,” I called to her.

I chuckled at her comment, I wasn't much for knowing what was in season, I certainly wouldn't have made a good clothier, but I did have skill at recognizing beauty at least. When I turned to her I nodded and grinned, walking toward her. "Oh Zoeline, it looks beautiful." I said softly. "Perfect."

I turned to look at the back of the dress in the mirror. It accented my marque wonderfully, the blue of the dress drawing out the blue of the outer petals.
I turned my gaze to Cannelle. “It’s not too much?” I asked. “Or too little actually.”

I laughed softly. "Too little," I said with a grin. "But I think thats just what the occasion calls for." I said grinning.

I returned her grin and then stepped forward and hugged her.
“I’ll get it then,” I said, smiling. “Now we need to find one for you.”

I embraced her back and nodded as she spoke. "Oh yes, but nothing that will stage you up, I can't compete with your beauty." I said with a grin.

I rolled my eyes at her words. “You can upstage anyone if you want,” I said, laughing. “Let me take this off and I’ll help you look some more.”

I chuckled softly and nodded before turning around to look at the racks as she disrobed. I found one that carried mostly green gowns and I began to look through them.

I donned the robe again and then went out to join her. “Find anything?” I asked.

I shuffled through a few items. "I'm not sure, theres a few that I think are nice." I said as I passed over a sage gown.

I peeked at the dresses she was looking at. “Which ones do you like?” I asked.

"Hmm," I said as I lifted up a strapless emerald green gown with a slit up one leg. "This one?"

“Oh, that color would look stunning on you,” I said with a grin. “You should try it on.”

I grinned a little and nodded then turned and hurried off to the curtain. "Would you see if there are any in there you think I would like?" I called from behind the curtain as I withdrew my robe and then began to pull on the gown.

“Of course,” I said happily, looking through the gowns. I came across one with a beaded bodice and a bow in the back. It was very pretty.
“What about this one?” I asked, taking it from the rack and to the dressing room to show her.

By the time Zoeline was coming with a gown, I had the other one on. "Oh, wow, that's very nice." I said as I came out in the emerald gown I had picked.

“Oh Cannelle,” I gasped when I saw her. “That’s gorgeous! You look amazing.”

I grinned. "Really?" I asked happily. "Gorgeous? Or just great?"

“Gorgeous,” I assured her, still smiling. “That color is divine on you.”

I chuckled. "Oh good." I said smiling. "Alright, let me try that one on and you can tell me which one you like better." I reached out for the gown she was holding.

“What if I like them both equally?” I asked with a grin as I handed her the other dress.

I furrowed my brows and whimpered a little. "I don't know, buy them both?" I said as I looked at her. "I mean if I don't wear one now, I can always wear the other at another time." I shrugged and pouted a little then turned to go back behind the curtain.

“If you like them both, then you should get them both,” I said, loud enough for her to hear me. “You’re right that there will be a chance to wear them both and I think you deserve them.”

I chuckled as I listened, taking off the one gown before slipping on the other. "Well when you put it like that...." I said grinning before I finished dressing and pushed the curtain aside to come out into view. "Well? Better, worse?"

“Neither,” I said, furrowing my brow. “Oh Cannelle, it looks amazing on you as well. I can’t possible choose.”

I worried my lower lip as I looked at her and sighed. "Well, I'll have to take both." I said softly. "But... which one will I wear this time?"
