stops what she's doing, and looks at him. "Yes?"

taps his chin thoughtfully, looking her over. He's actually just deciding what color and dress she should wear. "Do you like scrounging for

information?"

blinks, then nods. "I suppose. Why do you ask?"

"I was invited to a ball, so gossiping will be obvious." Thinks pink would look gaudy on her. No way. "I was thinking of bringing someone."

blinks. "Oh...so you want to bring me to listen to gossip?" She starts to untie her apron.

nods a bit. "I don't know your opinion on formal parties though." Maybe white...and red. Black is overused...

folds the apron. "Well, I haven't been to one in a while. But I wouldn't turn down an offer."

"White and red is fine with you then?" Might explain why he's been staring at her funny.

nods. "Yes, it is. But may I ask, why me?"

"You haven't seen much since you've joined. I thought you'd enjoy a little fun. And wearing something different?" Shrugs lightly. He doesn't

have a proper reason why, he just felt like asking her.

nods. "Of couse. I'd have expected someone such as yourself to ask someone...different."

"Truthfully. I didn't really think about it. I just felt like I really wanted to ask you to it."

smiles a little. "Thank you for thinking of me, then."

runs a hand through his hair absentmindedly. "I'll leave the dress and accessories on your bed later then. The others will help you with

putting it on and make-up."

nods. When do you want me to be ready?"

"At your own leisure. I wasn't particularly good at being on time for these type of things."

nods. "I've almost finished here, so I could be ready soon, if you'd like."

"That would be nice I suppose. I'm slightly curious to see what you look like with your hair down." Might just be rambling now.

nods. "Then I'll wear my hair down for tonight, if that's what you'd like."

"I think I'd like that. I apologize ahead of time if they get...extravagant with the accessories."

smiles a little. "Well, I can always take them off after leaving." she replies.

laughs a bit. "They'd be sad if they found out."

smiles to him. "I don't like too many accecories."

"I guess that makes two of us. Although I'm partial to hats and sashes sometimes..."

nods. "Yes...just a bit is fine." She agrees.

"I should...leave you to your work then?"

nods. "Yes, I'll be ready soon." She turns back to her work to finish quickly$

nods and well...gets ready too.
