*is sitting in the very same café, staring at an invitation that she has propped up against the salt shaker*

*gets her cappucino and looks around for a seat*

*sees you* Cúthalion? What brings you to Delving? Bored of Hísilómë already?

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/27/2007 17:14:14

*starts*

Oh, hello. *nods at the invitation* No. I'm here for a party. Only I'm not sure if I want to go. *smiles faintly* If I go, I think it means the end of an era? *shakes her head* My best friend, you see. He's getting married.

	From: irisse	Date: 03/27/2007 17:28:37

*smiles a little* Ah, I know the feeling. Sort of. Except I was the one who got married but -- *shrugs* -- my best friend wasn't home and I ended up shacking up with absolutely the wrong kind of guy. They'd have hated each other if they'd ever met. Anyway, I got killed before I could find out but I'm sure it's not the end of anything.

*looks around again* Would you mind if I sit down? It's just that the café's so full. *sits down without further preamble* So. What are you wearing for it?

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/27/2007 17:34:53

What am I wearing for what? Oh. Oh. The party? I-- I still haven't decided if I'm-- What's wrong with what I'm wearing?

	From: irisse	Date: 03/27/2007 17:46:52

Well, of course you're going to go. *looks at you critically* Well, that's what you've been wearing all day, isn't it?

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/27/2007 17:47:53

*looks down at herself*

*--*

Yes.

	From: irisse	Date: 03/27/2007 17:52:18

Well, you can't possibly wear it for the party. It's not nearly dress-y enough. We need to find you a nice dress. Or perhaps a skirt and top? Something short, you've definitely got the legs for it. *lights a cigarette, ignoring the 'no smoking' sign and regards you thoughtfully* Even if you don't want to go, you may as well look your best. You're a pretty girl, Cúthalion, you know? You should do something with yourself.

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/28/2007 13:28:19

D-do something with myself? *looks perplexed* Legs? Sho-- I've never worn a short skirt in my life. *tucks her hair behind her ears* Are you sure you should be smok-- Pretty?

	From: irisse	Date: 03/28/2007 13:36:01

Yes, pretty. I know you used to be a man, but really. *stubs out her cigarette and stands up* Come along, come along. I need to find my runaway son and bring my cousin back to Delving. I don't have much time. *leads the way to the formalwear section*

	From: belthronding	Date: 03/28/2007 13:37:52

*tries to object but figures it's easier just to humour you*

*half-heartedly examines the nearest dress on the rack*

	From: irisse	Date: 03/28/2007 13:42:44

*slaps your hand away* Now, that's completely the wrong colour for your skin complexion. *roots around and pulls out a few dresses* Go try these on. Hurry, hurry. I'll look for accessories.
