Euphemias Vow Vogue Grand Opening 241206
The grand opening of Vow & Vogue, a custom couture shop founded by Euphemia, was a scene of tranquil beauty and subtle charm, set within a courtyard that perfectly harmonized the allure of nature with the elegance of artful design. Amidst the gentle sounds of a cascading fountain and the ambient melodies that filled the air, a sense of anticipation and warmth enveloped the attendees. Among them was Trevor, who after a brief interaction ensured Euphemia of his intention to return for a custom piece, while others like Lilian and Maxine engage in light-hearted conversations, indicating a successful launch filled with future promises.
As the evening unfolded, Euphemia's interactions became more personal, particularly with Maxine, a girl of few words yet expressive gestures. Their connection, underscored by Euphemia's warm invitation for a custom fitting and the affectionate exchanges that followed, hinted at a deeper bond formed out of understanding and mutual respect. This bond led them, alongside Savannah, Euphemia's girlfriend, towards a more intimate setting away from the shop's festivities. The trio's departure to Savannah's apartment, under the guise of seeking warmth and relaxation in a jacuzzi, not only marked the conclusion of the shop's grand opening but also the beginning of a closer relationship among them. Their playful banter about the law and consequences of 'serious offenses' like biting, culminated in a casual yet poignant moment of camaraderie as they navigate the possibilities of new friendships and shared comforts in the safe haven of Savannah's home.
(Euphemia's Vow & Vogue - Grand Opening)
[Thu Dec 5 2024]
At Vow & Vogue - Courtyard
The meticulously arranged checkerboard of natural stone and soft moss underfoot creates a harmonious blend of order and nature. Flanking the paths, sculpted hedges and seasonal flower beds burst with life and color, their fragrance subtle yet inviting. The twin marble sidewalks, polished and gleaming, draw your eyes to the central fountain, where the figure of a beautiful woman holds a brass fan that glimmers faintly in the daylight.
The fountain itself is a masterpiece, the water cascading gently over its ornate brass base, creating ripples that seem to dance in rhythm with the soft ambient melodies drifting through the air. Around it, curved stone benches with velvet cushions invite you to sit and admire the scene, while delicate birdhouses tucked into the hedges encourage the cheerful songs of birds to mingle with the fountains tranquil burble. Overhead, strands of string lights trace the courtyards perimeter, adding a subtle charm, even in daylight, and promising an enchanting glow come evening.
A large sign hangs over the eastern doors: proudly displaying the name of: Vow & Vogue - Custom Couture, to any passing customers. The glass windows facing the streets display a myriad of mannequins dressed in designer fashion... hinting at the artistry housed within.
It is night, about 25F(-3C) degrees, and there are a few dark grey stormclouds in the sky. There is a waxing crescent moon.
Euphemia smiles up towards Trevor. some slight degree of amusement glimmering beneath her gaze. She dips her head in solemn understanding, reaching to lift a hand to his shoulder -- if allowed. "You're perfectly alright. And you're welcome here anytime, okay? let me know if you ever want something custom-made."
Trevor doesn't seem to mind the hand to his shoulder, flashing Euphemia a small little smile. "Will do!" he says to her, and then, not wanting to be rude does take a little step back, letting that hand fall backwards. "I gotta head out, but it's a nice place. I think I saw your number in the shop for custom stuff, I'll probably message you at some point about something!" Another little step back and Trevor waves at the rest of the people. "Okay! Have a wonderful night people."
Elora continues eating her own pastry
Euphemia glanced over to Maxine, then... unapologetically looking the wild girl over with a warm, affectionate smile. "And --no pressure. I'm always happy to put a little extra work in. Though you already look gorgeous with what you have."
Sam returns, giving the courtyard a two-fingered salute before heading inside again.
William considers for a moment, thinking intently, with a look of malice on his face, before asking Euphemia "Can one order like... Clothes for animals?"
Euphemia says, calling out, "Beige, Black, and Blue Sam! You can never go wrong!!"
A couple short sharp inhalations through Maxine's nose are as much visible in the subtle wrinkling of Maxine's nose as they are audible, then for some reason Maxine's attention turns for a lingering moment to Elora before praise is levied Maxine's way and Maxine's cheeks flush soft hues of red.
Lilian rests against Elora, bringing a lemon tart to her lips next as everyone starts to file out. "I'm happy to pay you for the dress Euphie." She mentions towards the shop owner. "But I guess you're going to be too busy to get it done this side of Christmas."
"No-one told me there'd be booze!" Sam seems utterly content, sipping champagne.
Lilian waggles her fingers around her tart at Savannah.
William gives a greeting nod to Savannah
Elora leaning against Lilian smiles to Savannah, raising a tartlet in greeting, before popping it into her mouth.
Euphemia shakes her head towards Lily, raising a reassuring hand to the small of Maxine's back. "I can get it done honey. I just needed time to finish the shop, before. If you need it by Christmas I can try to bump you up."
The touch to Maxine's back catches Maxine by surprise, the woman stiffening in place where she is initially. She has to force a breath then exhale before relaxing herself and letting her gaze ow the conversation.
William claps his hands together "Lovely... I'll message you about it sometime"
Lilian smiles and shakes her head, "It's fine. I'll get my semestress to send some stuff over. I'm just looking forward to what /you/ design for me that's all." She leans over to steal a bite of tart from Elora's fingers, nipping them in the process.
Savannah makes her way inside, waving to those greeting her and she looks around, "Ugh! That trip thing took longer than I thought..." She approaches Euphemia now, leaning in to place a kiss on her cheek, if able, and says, "How did everything go?"
Sam says "Oh, that was hilarious."
Euphemia turns her smile to Savannah after a moment, turning her head to cheerily accept that arriving kiss as the Deputy draws near, leaning in to nuzzle against the opposing woman with a smile. "I was tempted to steal that silly cardboard cutout from Affordable. But I don't want... actual beef, with Manny."
Elora nods to Lilian
William hums slightly, bringing a finger to his chin as he listens to the existance of cardboard cutout
"Something funny? I can only imagine," Savannah says as she moves to settle down on the fountain, taking a load off with a heavy sigh, "Chilly outside tonight, too..."
Lilian takes a seat back on the rim of the fountain, tugging Elora gently with her. "Have some champagne to warm you." She comments to Savannah with a small smile. "I personally just call the frenchman Emma. Emma -neul is his name isnt it?"
"I mean, the first time I saw him, he..." Sam just shakes his head slowly. "He was staring at someone's toes. So toes seems a good nickname."
Elora is so tugged, joining Lilian on the rim, leaning into her.
Lilian laughs softly at Sam's words. "I did offer to let him give me a foot massage in exchange for extra credit." She admits with a soft snort.
William nods "I like calling him Frenchie... Can sound good when you want to, can sound bad when you want to... It's flexible" He comments to Lilian "But yeah, Emmanuel"
Euphemia smiles in the direction of Savannah. curling her arms a little more firmly around Maxine's waist. It isn't a particularly lascivious touch... But a fond, affectionate one. One which easily looses underneath the slightest movement from Maxine herself. "... Emmanuel is my ex, actually." Euphemia explains quietly, though turning the warmth of her expression to invite Savannah closer, settling back against the fountain with Maxine in tow. "So... a little awkward to be doing that sort of thing. And it could be seen as petty?"
Euphemia says "we already have an Emma anyways. We don't need a second one."
Savannah looks distracted for a little bit while listening to the others and she glances over to Euphemia, "It sounds like it was a success, at least. Now that this place is open, I can steal you away when you're not making people clothing for commissions..." She scoots a little closer to Euphemia and looks to Maxine, "I don't think we've met before..."
"Congratulations on your extra credits, taking strides for science." Sam deadpans to Lilian.
William turns his head towards Euphemia "Worry not, for I shall mess around with that cutout for you..." But his head tilts to a side then "He's your- Oh... Well, that makes a lot of things less weird..." He says with a little nod
Lilian snorts again at Sam's reply, "I haven't let him cash in on the offer yet. I think me calling him Emma repels him. I wonder why." The purple haired woman mutters blandly before giving Elora a teasing pinch on the hips.
"Should carry a piece of like valveeta, to expel him." Sam snickers over to Lilian, seemingly having a chip on his shoulder about the subject, all of a sudden. He shrugs. "I mean, ya can say a lot, he's chosen an image, yeh?"
Whilst Euphemia's initial touch might have been met with surprise induced rigidity it seems Maxine might have habituated a little now because the arm about her waist is accepted and Euphemia is even allowed to lead the rather confused looking woman across to the fountain. A slightly shy twiddle of fingers is offered to Savannah then Maxine looks to Euphemia optimistically.
"What is a valveeta?" Lilian asks Sam curiously.
Lilian glances over at Maxine, "And I'm Lily by the way Maxi. Nice to meet you."
A grateful smile is sent over to someone and Maxine answers with an apparently sincere curtsey.
A grateful smile is sent over to Lilian and Maxine answers with an apparently sincere curtsey.
"Oh, it's... " Sam gestures some. "It's the kinda cheese ya chuck in mac and cheese, like the one that looks plastic, and yellow?" He smirks. "Enough to make italians and french people weep, but it does it's job in a good gooey mac.' "
Euphemia grimaces in the direction of William, shaking her head softly. "Please... don't do that. I don't need any more drama on my head and I certainly don't with Emmanuel." She sighs, turning her attention to Savannah, and raising both hands to each of Maxine's limbs, warping her voice into something comedically high pitched as she hides behind the girl to puppeteer her limbs in greeting. "Hi everyone! My name is Maxine! I LOVE books, long walks in the woods, and my best friend Euphemia who absolutely has zero flaws whatsoever!" She giggles quietly, letting Maxine's limbs fall back into her thighs. She pulls the woman closer... though a concerned glance is shot towards Savannah's phone.
William tilts his head at Euphemia "Not for you as in, in your behalf... But more like- I am doing it, you know? It's..." He simply shakes his head, waving his hand dismissively
"Bianchini have flair?" Vindicta wonders of Emmanuel, canting her head curiously to the side after blowing the lid off of a Golden Shadow skull with a quick flip of her rifle, those pale pink eyes blinking slowly. "Huh... Bianchini... Fancy," decides the petite albino.
Lilian smiles at Maxine's curtsey as if people did that to her all the time. "I agree Euphie is a great friend hmm?" The purple haired woman as no trouble admitting as she cuddles Elora while texting with one hand.
"Bianchini certainly has something, oui," Emmanuel allows around a smirk of sorts, glancing up from his work and toward her for a few moments before getting back to it, "I am thinking you are dressed for your emotional party, hm?"
Lenny says "Emotional party?"
Savannah looks over to Maxine, waving to her and smiling, "Hey, Maxine..." She watches Euphemia puppet her and laughs soflty as she shakes her head side to side, "Pretty cute." She wiggles her phone, not seeming concerned when Euphemia looks over, crossing one leg over the other one, "Best friends, huh? Well, guess you'll have to learn to deal with me now, Maxine, I'm Savannah!"
"Oh! Yes, Bianchini dress for emo party at StripTease.. Though maybe not plan well enough for how much time it take to finish operation. All ruined," Vindicta says with a sigh, checking the time but being reminded instantly that her phone does not work in the nightmare. "... Seven minutes past. Maybe no one show up now," she mumbles in complaint.
Maxine looks to be beginning a sequence of hand gestures for Lilian prior to the abduction for her hands in a pantomime of Euphemia's design. Confusion turns to amusement as the apparently mute girl is puppeted, shoulders and chest bouncing with silent laughter before Maxine gets her own back by taking one of Euphemia's hands and biting it on the fleshy part by way of revenge unless Euphemia pulls away faster than Maxine's mischief can be managed. That done a delicate bow is offered to Savannah.
"Non, non, I am sure it will be fine. There is nothing people like more than a party in this town." Emmanuel assures Vindicta as he wiggles himself inside of the security checkpoints mechanics, searching out for any signs of Hand molestation.
Lenny says "Too late for me tonight. Shame though. I like emo girls"
"Well, it's time for me to crash." Sam announces, heading out to the west.
"Ow-- hey!" Euphemia protests, lifting her bitten hand up to Savannah as if the deputy might do something to mend it. The mark of Maxine's teeth lies evident upon her flesh... that pallid, supple skin finding itself surprisingly easy to mark regardless of the force of said bite. Euphemia doesn't seem particularly bothered by the gesture, though... the soft, sweet smile she wore only bringing more amusement to her eyes as she flicks Maxine's temple in exchange. She glances aside to Savannah, the warmth returning to her eyes as if to -- rather literally, radiate from her skin. "... Who are you texting so furiously over there, anyways? Maxine, this is Savannah. My girlfriend."
Elora blushes as she puts away her phone.
"I got so distracted with the delicious food that I only had the chance to check out the jewelry," Elora admits. "I should really head back at some point to check out what else is available."
"We're plotting the best way to make Bill blush." Lilian tells Euphemia but keeps her phone out. "Tell Emm the food is delicious by the way."
"Oh my goodness," Savannah says to Euphemia as she reaches out to take the woman's hand now, lifting it up to herself to inspect. She nuzzles into the hand afterwards, and places a couple soft kisses, "You need me to...?" She looks to Maxine, "Believe it or not. Bite hand? Straight to jail." She nods, looking seriously for a few moments before laughing softly and she looks over to Euphemia, "Oh, I'm catching up with some things, is all. Why does anyone text?"
William perks an eyebrow at Lilian's comment, tilting his head to a side "I doubt it... But just in case, please don't..."
Finally Maxine can finish that sequence of hand gestures she had been just about to make for Lilian. A gesture is made towards Lilian, then Maxine pinches her own clothes gestures to her face, ghen gestures to Lilian once more before giving a couple double thumbs ups. It is clearly not an official sign language she is using but instead something closer to charades. That done Maxine turns a warm smile back to Savannah, head tilting and gaze looking up and down the freshly introduced woman whose partner she has apparently bitten. The threat of jail is landed and Maxine has the nerve to feign offence, a hand touching to her own chest and jaw dropping over in a farcical expression of shock.
Lilian smiles over at Maxine at the kind compliment. Or at least what she presumes is a compliment. "Thank you."
A nod is directed to Lilian, Maxine's proud smile implying that she is pleased the message was recieved as intended.
Lilian sends a few texts as she glanced over at William, "Don't worry we're plotting a super blush event here."
Savannah chuckles softly at something on her phone and then looks to Maxine's feigned offence and nods her head a couple times, "Serious offense, really, especially when it is my girlfriend's hands. Straight to jail, ten years dungoen." She sighs out softly and scoots closer to Euphemia now, which in turn brings her closer to Maxine, leaning against her girlfriend she says, "Going to have to take you away..." She sighs out and looks to Euphemia, "Sorry, pretty lady, but the law, is the law."
William nods his head slowly at Lilian, clearly not buying it, shrugging his shoulders before looking back towards Maxine and her conversation, he kind of needed to be looking at her to know her responses, unlike with the other people
"Do you have a phone number?" Savannah asks Maxine afterwards, "I could text you sometime, too, help to better explain things."
Lilian says "Oh and my number is seven ten nine two oh nine as well if anyone needs it"
William glances at his phone for a moment, thinking about what he reads there for a couple seconds before moving closer to Lilian and taking a seat next to her, tilting his head at her "Yes?"
Elora says "Mine ends with nine two five four."
Lilian leans in to whisper to William.
Euphemia lunges forward to curl her arms around Maxine. as if shielding her from Savannah's corruptive influence that now bears down upon the both of them. "Nooooooo!" She shouts, nuzzling closer to Maxine as if that might protect her from the Po-po. And yet, inevitably takes hold... and Euphemia pulls away, giving Savannah an amused expression. "... What is there to explain?"
"All of the details of the laws she has broken and the consequences of them!" Savannah says to Euphemia as she looks to the woman, laughing softly while the tries to shelter Maxine from inevitability, "Plus, I want to have her phone number since you two are close. Your friends are hopefully my friends in the end, right?"
Maxine's lips purse, Savannah remaining reflected in Maxine's sunglasses as the green dressed woman contemplates how best to respond to her new conundrum. A major infraction has occured, and now she has the choice to either flee or pay the price. She offers her hands with wrists together for cuffing before all of a sudden being nuzzled. Maxine gasps in surprise, the sound bereft of vocalisation save for the sudden inhalation itself.
As Maxine offers her hands, Savannah laughs at the woman's response to Euphemia's nuzzling and she reaches to check her coat pockets. She eventually pulls out... a gum wrapper. She frowns a little and says, "I wasn't expecting to be conducting arrests this evening, you're lucky..." She does though, try to touch Maxine's wrists with a gentle spread of fingertips, as if greeting, and taking it slow from observation with Euphemia's touch before surprising the other woman. She smiles, gives a pat, and releases the wrists afterwards, "But because you're such a good friend to Euphemia, I'll let it slide, for now."
"To be fair, we've only met once." Euphemia elaborates, then... though she seems no less affectionate with Maxine as a result. Pulling the woman close as if to comfort her in silence. "She's a very sweet girl. Went out with me for some tea back when I still lived in that depressing trailer. Some flamboyant storyteller showed up and kind of killed the mood, I'll admit."
William gives a little greeting nod to Victoria, sat beside Lilian
Savannah it seems has judged the approach correctly with Maxine. Even with that gentle touch there's a little bit of a tremor in Maxine's form and the reciprocating smile is faltering, the bespectacled woman unsure what to do with all this physical contact though it isn't dissuaded either.
Lilian smiles up at Elora, "You go ahead, Im going to chat with your brother a little." A small finger wag is given to Victoria before she puts her head back together with William.
Victoria waves a hand, glancing about curiously before her eyes fall to the fountain.
"Beautiful," Victoria decides with a nod.
Lilian laughs softly at whatever William says to her, shaking her head back and forth.
Euphemia has seemingly redirected the bulk of her attention towards Maxine herself... leaning slightly into Savannah as she nuzzles her face affectionately against the side of the silent girl's neck. She closes her eyes... smiling a bit, before glancing up to the woman in question. "...Do you get to use warm baths very often? Given where you live... maybe you'd like to come over and soak for a change."
William nods his head to Lilian, his expression looking not as amused, pretty plain and neutral really
Euphemia says "In this weather, it's like... allI really want. Is that warmth. That heat."
Savannah has lifted her hands away from Maxine's wrists and she smiles at the other woman. She's got a big smile when she wants, and she looks to Euphemia, nodding her head, "Yeah, I mean, the tub is huge and has all the warmth... I swear, coming home from a cold day of work and soaking in that thing is like a little piece of heaven." She leans into Euphemia some and says, "If you want, you can borrow it for a bit or whatever." She seems curious, but doesn't really press for more details, considering Euphemia's statement and their public location.
Amusement sparkles in Lilian's eyes as she looks up something on her phone. Savannah gets a big wink as plan make William blush is surely put into place. She shows her phone to William.
Euphemia's persistance pays off eventually and almost experimentally Maxine nuzzles back just a little. Then once more Maxine freezes, brows shooting up from behind her sunglasses before an eager nod is directed to the pair at the mention of a bath, Maxine suddenly rubbing at her arms as though she had been cold this entire time.
William blinks a couple times at whatever he watches on the phone, opening his eyes wide before looking away, to a side, taking a moment before whispering again
"I think that's sign language for yes. I want a bath." Euphemia jokes up towards Savannah. bated amusement shimmering beneath that sapphic, sapphire stare. But Savannah and Lilian's interaction does catch her attention, causing Euphemia to furrow her brow a bit, before turning her attention back towards their trio. "... Let's head home, then. We can enjoy a bath. There's food and champagne inside if you both want anything to take with you."
Elora returns with a bag of purchases in a designer shopping bag.
Savannah looks over distractedly when noticing Lilian winking in her direction, head tilting some as she looks to William's reaction. She smirks a little confusion showing and then turns back to Euphemia and Maxine, "I think so, pretty lady." She nods her head in agreement though and says, "I think so. Let's head home, wanted to have a relaxing night before I go anyway, so that works out for me..."
Lilian smiles and gives a small wave to Savannah and Euphemia as they announce their departure. Sapphire eyes turn to look at Elora walking towards her and her smile spreads as she welcomes Elora back to her side. "I was thinking of going somewhere more quiet too. Did you want to bring Bill with us? I was just teaching him about Bdsm..."
A text is fired off, the first Maxine has sent in a while which is perhaps impressive for a mute. Then Maxine smiles her appreciation to the duo who has so kindly offered to host. She stands, looking westwards then back to Euphemia and Savannah as though waiting for them to lead.
Lilian cackles softly, "I know."
Sophie is fashionably late to the grand opening, if three hours is still considered fashionable. She flashes the proprietress a smile of greeting, but quickly moves on into the shop at the mention of bdsm talk going on right here in the open.
Iseul smiles at Savannah and someone twinkling a wave towards them both.
Iseul smiles at Savannah and Euphemia twinkling a wave towards them both.
Euphemia laughs in the direction of Lilian, but promptly pushes herself, and Maxine in tow -- right on up to their feet. She leads the girl over to her motorbike, offering a small smile and an enthusiastic wave in the direction of Iseul as they pass.
Savannah begins to rise up now, looking to Euphemia and Maxine, offering a hand to help either up, "Let's retire to home. I'll go grab a little food first, maybe, but we should have some at home and then we can just relax some, take an easy night before travel..." She looks over to Lilian, Elora and William, waving to them as well as Victoria, "Oh, hey! Victoria! Nice to see you, sorry I'm heading out so soon." She also waves to Iseul, "Hey Iseul, now that Euphemia has opened this place... we can all talk about your outfit in the future."
Savannah says "See you all later!"
Smiling warmly Maxine waves a greeting once more to Savannah, following just a step behind Euphemia and letting the duo lead.
Euphemia holds Maxine's hand as they walk, gently interlacing her fingers with the other woman's own as fondly, but unobtrusively as Maxine might allow
Savannah leads Maxine and Euphemia into the apartment now, closing the door behind herself, "People are such trouble sometimes, right?" She chuckles softly and tucks her phone away now, focusing on Maxine and Euphemia, "So... Maxine." She smiles again, "You want to get warm? We have the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and all that..." She glances towards Euphemia holding the woman's hand and worries her lower lip briefly, but nods her head and gestures, "So make yourself comfortable!"
Maxine glances at the hand intertwined in her own, looking to Savannah to check this is okay as she follows along then smiling a little giddily at the mention of warmth and a jacuzzi.
Savannah seems okay with Euphemia and Maxine holding hands. She smiles a little and then looks to Euphemia for guidance, "Hey, I'm going to let you take charge of this one, pretty lady. I can be a little... uh... forward sometimes? So it might be better that you figure out the logistics of this one."
"A jacuzzi with ALL the fixings." Euphemia intones excitedly to Maxine, towing her along towards the bathroom almost as soon as Savannah responds, flinging the door open with a bright and sunny smile. "I wish I could take credit. This apartment is so amazing. But Savannah is the one who put all of this together, and I only have her to thank. She gestures around the bathroom, now -- indicating the jacuzzi and the shower in turn. "...Ah-- Hey Savannah? Did you finish washing the bathroom towels dear?""
"A jacuzzi with ALL the fixings." Euphemia intones excitedly to Maxine, towing her along towards the bathroom almost as soon as Savannah responds, flinging the door open with a bright and sunny smile. "I wish I could take credit. This apartment is so amazing. But Savannah is the one who put all of this together, and I only have her to thank." She gestures around the bathroom, now -- indicating the jacuzzi and the shower in turn. "...Ah-- Hey Savannah? Did you finish washing the bathroom towels dear?" [fixed]
"Yes, should be good to go," Savannah says to Euphemia as she walks with the woman now, looking around the place with a slight flush, "I mean, I fixed up some of the stuff myself, but I also moved in with some of it. So I can't remember which parts I made my own and which were here already, but the bathroom is definitely my vision and choice because I love soaking in a damn tub."
Maxine relaxed as Savannah fails to signal any discomfort with the hand holding arrangement and Maxine at last squeezes Euphemia's hand back in turn. She still seems intensely nervous over something despite her excitement at the idea of a warm bath and apparent appreciation of the company she has. She worries her lower lip with a canine for several moments, eyes on the bath behind dark glasses, then at last with a deep breath as though to brace herself, she takes her glasses off.
Maxine blinks a couple times as her eyes adjust to the brighter light without sunglasses.
"You enjoy it even more so now, I'm sure." Euphemia intones quietly, gesturing suggestively towards herself with a sultry little smirk. She moves to turn the tub on... notably pausing as Maxine removes her glasses... unable to help but to stare for a few moments of intrigue. "...Aren't her eyes pretty, Savannah?" Euphemia finally whispers... one hand lowered to gauge the temperature of the water below. Eventually, however... her eyes redirect to the water below. Slowly coming to a close. "...I'm glad we get to do more things like this. I've been shut away from the world for a while. Is there anything we can get for you hun?"
Savannah looks over towards Maxine at the reveal of her eyes and she tilts her head, perhaps used to seeing this sort of thing, or any number of things this town often reveals. She nods her head with a smile afterwards, turning to look towards the water as it begins to fill the tub and heat up, "It is a really nice tub, and I really do enjoy it more that you're here, it is big enough to relax in and sprawl out with one... but can fit more!" She smiles and leans herself into the sink nearby, checking the towels once more, "And her eyes are pretty. And yeah, me too, looking forward to just meeting more people and having fun because... I don't know, life can be too serious sometimes."
As the evening unfolded, Euphemia's interactions became more personal, particularly with Maxine, a girl of few words yet expressive gestures. Their connection, underscored by Euphemia's warm invitation for a custom fitting and the affectionate exchanges that followed, hinted at a deeper bond formed out of understanding and mutual respect. This bond led them, alongside Savannah, Euphemia's girlfriend, towards a more intimate setting away from the shop's festivities. The trio's departure to Savannah's apartment, under the guise of seeking warmth and relaxation in a jacuzzi, not only marked the conclusion of the shop's grand opening but also the beginning of a closer relationship among them. Their playful banter about the law and consequences of 'serious offenses' like biting, culminated in a casual yet poignant moment of camaraderie as they navigate the possibilities of new friendships and shared comforts in the safe haven of Savannah's home.
(Euphemia's Vow & Vogue - Grand Opening)
[Thu Dec 5 2024]
At Vow & Vogue - Courtyard
The meticulously arranged checkerboard of natural stone and soft moss underfoot creates a harmonious blend of order and nature. Flanking the paths, sculpted hedges and seasonal flower beds burst with life and color, their fragrance subtle yet inviting. The twin marble sidewalks, polished and gleaming, draw your eyes to the central fountain, where the figure of a beautiful woman holds a brass fan that glimmers faintly in the daylight.
The fountain itself is a masterpiece, the water cascading gently over its ornate brass base, creating ripples that seem to dance in rhythm with the soft ambient melodies drifting through the air. Around it, curved stone benches with velvet cushions invite you to sit and admire the scene, while delicate birdhouses tucked into the hedges encourage the cheerful songs of birds to mingle with the fountains tranquil burble. Overhead, strands of string lights trace the courtyards perimeter, adding a subtle charm, even in daylight, and promising an enchanting glow come evening.
A large sign hangs over the eastern doors: proudly displaying the name of: Vow & Vogue - Custom Couture, to any passing customers. The glass windows facing the streets display a myriad of mannequins dressed in designer fashion... hinting at the artistry housed within.
It is night, about 25F(-3C) degrees, and there are a few dark grey stormclouds in the sky. There is a waxing crescent moon.
Euphemia smiles up towards Trevor. some slight degree of amusement glimmering beneath her gaze. She dips her head in solemn understanding, reaching to lift a hand to his shoulder -- if allowed. "You're perfectly alright. And you're welcome here anytime, okay? let me know if you ever want something custom-made."
Trevor doesn't seem to mind the hand to his shoulder, flashing Euphemia a small little smile. "Will do!" he says to her, and then, not wanting to be rude does take a little step back, letting that hand fall backwards. "I gotta head out, but it's a nice place. I think I saw your number in the shop for custom stuff, I'll probably message you at some point about something!" Another little step back and Trevor waves at the rest of the people. "Okay! Have a wonderful night people."
Elora continues eating her own pastry
Euphemia glanced over to Maxine, then... unapologetically looking the wild girl over with a warm, affectionate smile. "And --no pressure. I'm always happy to put a little extra work in. Though you already look gorgeous with what you have."
Sam returns, giving the courtyard a two-fingered salute before heading inside again.
William considers for a moment, thinking intently, with a look of malice on his face, before asking Euphemia "Can one order like... Clothes for animals?"
Euphemia says, calling out, "Beige, Black, and Blue Sam! You can never go wrong!!"
A couple short sharp inhalations through Maxine's nose are as much visible in the subtle wrinkling of Maxine's nose as they are audible, then for some reason Maxine's attention turns for a lingering moment to Elora before praise is levied Maxine's way and Maxine's cheeks flush soft hues of red.
Lilian rests against Elora, bringing a lemon tart to her lips next as everyone starts to file out. "I'm happy to pay you for the dress Euphie." She mentions towards the shop owner. "But I guess you're going to be too busy to get it done this side of Christmas."
"No-one told me there'd be booze!" Sam seems utterly content, sipping champagne.
Lilian waggles her fingers around her tart at Savannah.
William gives a greeting nod to Savannah
Elora leaning against Lilian smiles to Savannah, raising a tartlet in greeting, before popping it into her mouth.
Euphemia shakes her head towards Lily, raising a reassuring hand to the small of Maxine's back. "I can get it done honey. I just needed time to finish the shop, before. If you need it by Christmas I can try to bump you up."
The touch to Maxine's back catches Maxine by surprise, the woman stiffening in place where she is initially. She has to force a breath then exhale before relaxing herself and letting her gaze ow the conversation.
William claps his hands together "Lovely... I'll message you about it sometime"
Lilian smiles and shakes her head, "It's fine. I'll get my semestress to send some stuff over. I'm just looking forward to what /you/ design for me that's all." She leans over to steal a bite of tart from Elora's fingers, nipping them in the process.
Savannah makes her way inside, waving to those greeting her and she looks around, "Ugh! That trip thing took longer than I thought..." She approaches Euphemia now, leaning in to place a kiss on her cheek, if able, and says, "How did everything go?"
Sam says "Oh, that was hilarious."
Euphemia turns her smile to Savannah after a moment, turning her head to cheerily accept that arriving kiss as the Deputy draws near, leaning in to nuzzle against the opposing woman with a smile. "I was tempted to steal that silly cardboard cutout from Affordable. But I don't want... actual beef, with Manny."
Elora nods to Lilian
William hums slightly, bringing a finger to his chin as he listens to the existance of cardboard cutout
"Something funny? I can only imagine," Savannah says as she moves to settle down on the fountain, taking a load off with a heavy sigh, "Chilly outside tonight, too..."
Lilian takes a seat back on the rim of the fountain, tugging Elora gently with her. "Have some champagne to warm you." She comments to Savannah with a small smile. "I personally just call the frenchman Emma. Emma -neul is his name isnt it?"
"I mean, the first time I saw him, he..." Sam just shakes his head slowly. "He was staring at someone's toes. So toes seems a good nickname."
Elora is so tugged, joining Lilian on the rim, leaning into her.
Lilian laughs softly at Sam's words. "I did offer to let him give me a foot massage in exchange for extra credit." She admits with a soft snort.
William nods "I like calling him Frenchie... Can sound good when you want to, can sound bad when you want to... It's flexible" He comments to Lilian "But yeah, Emmanuel"
Euphemia smiles in the direction of Savannah. curling her arms a little more firmly around Maxine's waist. It isn't a particularly lascivious touch... But a fond, affectionate one. One which easily looses underneath the slightest movement from Maxine herself. "... Emmanuel is my ex, actually." Euphemia explains quietly, though turning the warmth of her expression to invite Savannah closer, settling back against the fountain with Maxine in tow. "So... a little awkward to be doing that sort of thing. And it could be seen as petty?"
Euphemia says "we already have an Emma anyways. We don't need a second one."
Savannah looks distracted for a little bit while listening to the others and she glances over to Euphemia, "It sounds like it was a success, at least. Now that this place is open, I can steal you away when you're not making people clothing for commissions..." She scoots a little closer to Euphemia and looks to Maxine, "I don't think we've met before..."
"Congratulations on your extra credits, taking strides for science." Sam deadpans to Lilian.
William turns his head towards Euphemia "Worry not, for I shall mess around with that cutout for you..." But his head tilts to a side then "He's your- Oh... Well, that makes a lot of things less weird..." He says with a little nod
Lilian snorts again at Sam's reply, "I haven't let him cash in on the offer yet. I think me calling him Emma repels him. I wonder why." The purple haired woman mutters blandly before giving Elora a teasing pinch on the hips.
"Should carry a piece of like valveeta, to expel him." Sam snickers over to Lilian, seemingly having a chip on his shoulder about the subject, all of a sudden. He shrugs. "I mean, ya can say a lot, he's chosen an image, yeh?"
Whilst Euphemia's initial touch might have been met with surprise induced rigidity it seems Maxine might have habituated a little now because the arm about her waist is accepted and Euphemia is even allowed to lead the rather confused looking woman across to the fountain. A slightly shy twiddle of fingers is offered to Savannah then Maxine looks to Euphemia optimistically.
"What is a valveeta?" Lilian asks Sam curiously.
Lilian glances over at Maxine, "And I'm Lily by the way Maxi. Nice to meet you."
A grateful smile is sent over to someone and Maxine answers with an apparently sincere curtsey.
A grateful smile is sent over to Lilian and Maxine answers with an apparently sincere curtsey.
"Oh, it's... " Sam gestures some. "It's the kinda cheese ya chuck in mac and cheese, like the one that looks plastic, and yellow?" He smirks. "Enough to make italians and french people weep, but it does it's job in a good gooey mac.' "
Euphemia grimaces in the direction of William, shaking her head softly. "Please... don't do that. I don't need any more drama on my head and I certainly don't with Emmanuel." She sighs, turning her attention to Savannah, and raising both hands to each of Maxine's limbs, warping her voice into something comedically high pitched as she hides behind the girl to puppeteer her limbs in greeting. "Hi everyone! My name is Maxine! I LOVE books, long walks in the woods, and my best friend Euphemia who absolutely has zero flaws whatsoever!" She giggles quietly, letting Maxine's limbs fall back into her thighs. She pulls the woman closer... though a concerned glance is shot towards Savannah's phone.
William tilts his head at Euphemia "Not for you as in, in your behalf... But more like- I am doing it, you know? It's..." He simply shakes his head, waving his hand dismissively
"Bianchini have flair?" Vindicta wonders of Emmanuel, canting her head curiously to the side after blowing the lid off of a Golden Shadow skull with a quick flip of her rifle, those pale pink eyes blinking slowly. "Huh... Bianchini... Fancy," decides the petite albino.
Lilian smiles at Maxine's curtsey as if people did that to her all the time. "I agree Euphie is a great friend hmm?" The purple haired woman as no trouble admitting as she cuddles Elora while texting with one hand.
"Bianchini certainly has something, oui," Emmanuel allows around a smirk of sorts, glancing up from his work and toward her for a few moments before getting back to it, "I am thinking you are dressed for your emotional party, hm?"
Lenny says "Emotional party?"
Savannah looks over to Maxine, waving to her and smiling, "Hey, Maxine..." She watches Euphemia puppet her and laughs soflty as she shakes her head side to side, "Pretty cute." She wiggles her phone, not seeming concerned when Euphemia looks over, crossing one leg over the other one, "Best friends, huh? Well, guess you'll have to learn to deal with me now, Maxine, I'm Savannah!"
"Oh! Yes, Bianchini dress for emo party at StripTease.. Though maybe not plan well enough for how much time it take to finish operation. All ruined," Vindicta says with a sigh, checking the time but being reminded instantly that her phone does not work in the nightmare. "... Seven minutes past. Maybe no one show up now," she mumbles in complaint.
Maxine looks to be beginning a sequence of hand gestures for Lilian prior to the abduction for her hands in a pantomime of Euphemia's design. Confusion turns to amusement as the apparently mute girl is puppeted, shoulders and chest bouncing with silent laughter before Maxine gets her own back by taking one of Euphemia's hands and biting it on the fleshy part by way of revenge unless Euphemia pulls away faster than Maxine's mischief can be managed. That done a delicate bow is offered to Savannah.
"Non, non, I am sure it will be fine. There is nothing people like more than a party in this town." Emmanuel assures Vindicta as he wiggles himself inside of the security checkpoints mechanics, searching out for any signs of Hand molestation.
Lenny says "Too late for me tonight. Shame though. I like emo girls"
"Well, it's time for me to crash." Sam announces, heading out to the west.
"Ow-- hey!" Euphemia protests, lifting her bitten hand up to Savannah as if the deputy might do something to mend it. The mark of Maxine's teeth lies evident upon her flesh... that pallid, supple skin finding itself surprisingly easy to mark regardless of the force of said bite. Euphemia doesn't seem particularly bothered by the gesture, though... the soft, sweet smile she wore only bringing more amusement to her eyes as she flicks Maxine's temple in exchange. She glances aside to Savannah, the warmth returning to her eyes as if to -- rather literally, radiate from her skin. "... Who are you texting so furiously over there, anyways? Maxine, this is Savannah. My girlfriend."
Elora blushes as she puts away her phone.
"I got so distracted with the delicious food that I only had the chance to check out the jewelry," Elora admits. "I should really head back at some point to check out what else is available."
"We're plotting the best way to make Bill blush." Lilian tells Euphemia but keeps her phone out. "Tell Emm the food is delicious by the way."
"Oh my goodness," Savannah says to Euphemia as she reaches out to take the woman's hand now, lifting it up to herself to inspect. She nuzzles into the hand afterwards, and places a couple soft kisses, "You need me to...?" She looks to Maxine, "Believe it or not. Bite hand? Straight to jail." She nods, looking seriously for a few moments before laughing softly and she looks over to Euphemia, "Oh, I'm catching up with some things, is all. Why does anyone text?"
William perks an eyebrow at Lilian's comment, tilting his head to a side "I doubt it... But just in case, please don't..."
Finally Maxine can finish that sequence of hand gestures she had been just about to make for Lilian. A gesture is made towards Lilian, then Maxine pinches her own clothes gestures to her face, ghen gestures to Lilian once more before giving a couple double thumbs ups. It is clearly not an official sign language she is using but instead something closer to charades. That done Maxine turns a warm smile back to Savannah, head tilting and gaze looking up and down the freshly introduced woman whose partner she has apparently bitten. The threat of jail is landed and Maxine has the nerve to feign offence, a hand touching to her own chest and jaw dropping over in a farcical expression of shock.
Lilian smiles over at Maxine at the kind compliment. Or at least what she presumes is a compliment. "Thank you."
A nod is directed to Lilian, Maxine's proud smile implying that she is pleased the message was recieved as intended.
Lilian sends a few texts as she glanced over at William, "Don't worry we're plotting a super blush event here."
Savannah chuckles softly at something on her phone and then looks to Maxine's feigned offence and nods her head a couple times, "Serious offense, really, especially when it is my girlfriend's hands. Straight to jail, ten years dungoen." She sighs out softly and scoots closer to Euphemia now, which in turn brings her closer to Maxine, leaning against her girlfriend she says, "Going to have to take you away..." She sighs out and looks to Euphemia, "Sorry, pretty lady, but the law, is the law."
William nods his head slowly at Lilian, clearly not buying it, shrugging his shoulders before looking back towards Maxine and her conversation, he kind of needed to be looking at her to know her responses, unlike with the other people
"Do you have a phone number?" Savannah asks Maxine afterwards, "I could text you sometime, too, help to better explain things."
Lilian says "Oh and my number is seven ten nine two oh nine as well if anyone needs it"
William glances at his phone for a moment, thinking about what he reads there for a couple seconds before moving closer to Lilian and taking a seat next to her, tilting his head at her "Yes?"
Elora says "Mine ends with nine two five four."
Lilian leans in to whisper to William.
Euphemia lunges forward to curl her arms around Maxine. as if shielding her from Savannah's corruptive influence that now bears down upon the both of them. "Nooooooo!" She shouts, nuzzling closer to Maxine as if that might protect her from the Po-po. And yet, inevitably takes hold... and Euphemia pulls away, giving Savannah an amused expression. "... What is there to explain?"
"All of the details of the laws she has broken and the consequences of them!" Savannah says to Euphemia as she looks to the woman, laughing softly while the tries to shelter Maxine from inevitability, "Plus, I want to have her phone number since you two are close. Your friends are hopefully my friends in the end, right?"
Maxine's lips purse, Savannah remaining reflected in Maxine's sunglasses as the green dressed woman contemplates how best to respond to her new conundrum. A major infraction has occured, and now she has the choice to either flee or pay the price. She offers her hands with wrists together for cuffing before all of a sudden being nuzzled. Maxine gasps in surprise, the sound bereft of vocalisation save for the sudden inhalation itself.
As Maxine offers her hands, Savannah laughs at the woman's response to Euphemia's nuzzling and she reaches to check her coat pockets. She eventually pulls out... a gum wrapper. She frowns a little and says, "I wasn't expecting to be conducting arrests this evening, you're lucky..." She does though, try to touch Maxine's wrists with a gentle spread of fingertips, as if greeting, and taking it slow from observation with Euphemia's touch before surprising the other woman. She smiles, gives a pat, and releases the wrists afterwards, "But because you're such a good friend to Euphemia, I'll let it slide, for now."
"To be fair, we've only met once." Euphemia elaborates, then... though she seems no less affectionate with Maxine as a result. Pulling the woman close as if to comfort her in silence. "She's a very sweet girl. Went out with me for some tea back when I still lived in that depressing trailer. Some flamboyant storyteller showed up and kind of killed the mood, I'll admit."
William gives a little greeting nod to Victoria, sat beside Lilian
Savannah it seems has judged the approach correctly with Maxine. Even with that gentle touch there's a little bit of a tremor in Maxine's form and the reciprocating smile is faltering, the bespectacled woman unsure what to do with all this physical contact though it isn't dissuaded either.
Lilian smiles up at Elora, "You go ahead, Im going to chat with your brother a little." A small finger wag is given to Victoria before she puts her head back together with William.
Victoria waves a hand, glancing about curiously before her eyes fall to the fountain.
"Beautiful," Victoria decides with a nod.
Lilian laughs softly at whatever William says to her, shaking her head back and forth.
Euphemia has seemingly redirected the bulk of her attention towards Maxine herself... leaning slightly into Savannah as she nuzzles her face affectionately against the side of the silent girl's neck. She closes her eyes... smiling a bit, before glancing up to the woman in question. "...Do you get to use warm baths very often? Given where you live... maybe you'd like to come over and soak for a change."
William nods his head to Lilian, his expression looking not as amused, pretty plain and neutral really
Euphemia says "In this weather, it's like... allI really want. Is that warmth. That heat."
Savannah has lifted her hands away from Maxine's wrists and she smiles at the other woman. She's got a big smile when she wants, and she looks to Euphemia, nodding her head, "Yeah, I mean, the tub is huge and has all the warmth... I swear, coming home from a cold day of work and soaking in that thing is like a little piece of heaven." She leans into Euphemia some and says, "If you want, you can borrow it for a bit or whatever." She seems curious, but doesn't really press for more details, considering Euphemia's statement and their public location.
Amusement sparkles in Lilian's eyes as she looks up something on her phone. Savannah gets a big wink as plan make William blush is surely put into place. She shows her phone to William.
Euphemia's persistance pays off eventually and almost experimentally Maxine nuzzles back just a little. Then once more Maxine freezes, brows shooting up from behind her sunglasses before an eager nod is directed to the pair at the mention of a bath, Maxine suddenly rubbing at her arms as though she had been cold this entire time.
William blinks a couple times at whatever he watches on the phone, opening his eyes wide before looking away, to a side, taking a moment before whispering again
"I think that's sign language for yes. I want a bath." Euphemia jokes up towards Savannah. bated amusement shimmering beneath that sapphic, sapphire stare. But Savannah and Lilian's interaction does catch her attention, causing Euphemia to furrow her brow a bit, before turning her attention back towards their trio. "... Let's head home, then. We can enjoy a bath. There's food and champagne inside if you both want anything to take with you."
Elora returns with a bag of purchases in a designer shopping bag.
Savannah looks over distractedly when noticing Lilian winking in her direction, head tilting some as she looks to William's reaction. She smirks a little confusion showing and then turns back to Euphemia and Maxine, "I think so, pretty lady." She nods her head in agreement though and says, "I think so. Let's head home, wanted to have a relaxing night before I go anyway, so that works out for me..."
Lilian smiles and gives a small wave to Savannah and Euphemia as they announce their departure. Sapphire eyes turn to look at Elora walking towards her and her smile spreads as she welcomes Elora back to her side. "I was thinking of going somewhere more quiet too. Did you want to bring Bill with us? I was just teaching him about Bdsm..."
A text is fired off, the first Maxine has sent in a while which is perhaps impressive for a mute. Then Maxine smiles her appreciation to the duo who has so kindly offered to host. She stands, looking westwards then back to Euphemia and Savannah as though waiting for them to lead.
Lilian cackles softly, "I know."
Sophie is fashionably late to the grand opening, if three hours is still considered fashionable. She flashes the proprietress a smile of greeting, but quickly moves on into the shop at the mention of bdsm talk going on right here in the open.
Iseul smiles at Savannah and someone twinkling a wave towards them both.
Iseul smiles at Savannah and Euphemia twinkling a wave towards them both.
Euphemia laughs in the direction of Lilian, but promptly pushes herself, and Maxine in tow -- right on up to their feet. She leads the girl over to her motorbike, offering a small smile and an enthusiastic wave in the direction of Iseul as they pass.
Savannah begins to rise up now, looking to Euphemia and Maxine, offering a hand to help either up, "Let's retire to home. I'll go grab a little food first, maybe, but we should have some at home and then we can just relax some, take an easy night before travel..." She looks over to Lilian, Elora and William, waving to them as well as Victoria, "Oh, hey! Victoria! Nice to see you, sorry I'm heading out so soon." She also waves to Iseul, "Hey Iseul, now that Euphemia has opened this place... we can all talk about your outfit in the future."
Savannah says "See you all later!"
Smiling warmly Maxine waves a greeting once more to Savannah, following just a step behind Euphemia and letting the duo lead.
Euphemia holds Maxine's hand as they walk, gently interlacing her fingers with the other woman's own as fondly, but unobtrusively as Maxine might allow
Savannah leads Maxine and Euphemia into the apartment now, closing the door behind herself, "People are such trouble sometimes, right?" She chuckles softly and tucks her phone away now, focusing on Maxine and Euphemia, "So... Maxine." She smiles again, "You want to get warm? We have the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and all that..." She glances towards Euphemia holding the woman's hand and worries her lower lip briefly, but nods her head and gestures, "So make yourself comfortable!"
Maxine glances at the hand intertwined in her own, looking to Savannah to check this is okay as she follows along then smiling a little giddily at the mention of warmth and a jacuzzi.
Savannah seems okay with Euphemia and Maxine holding hands. She smiles a little and then looks to Euphemia for guidance, "Hey, I'm going to let you take charge of this one, pretty lady. I can be a little... uh... forward sometimes? So it might be better that you figure out the logistics of this one."
"A jacuzzi with ALL the fixings." Euphemia intones excitedly to Maxine, towing her along towards the bathroom almost as soon as Savannah responds, flinging the door open with a bright and sunny smile. "I wish I could take credit. This apartment is so amazing. But Savannah is the one who put all of this together, and I only have her to thank. She gestures around the bathroom, now -- indicating the jacuzzi and the shower in turn. "...Ah-- Hey Savannah? Did you finish washing the bathroom towels dear?""
"A jacuzzi with ALL the fixings." Euphemia intones excitedly to Maxine, towing her along towards the bathroom almost as soon as Savannah responds, flinging the door open with a bright and sunny smile. "I wish I could take credit. This apartment is so amazing. But Savannah is the one who put all of this together, and I only have her to thank." She gestures around the bathroom, now -- indicating the jacuzzi and the shower in turn. "...Ah-- Hey Savannah? Did you finish washing the bathroom towels dear?" [fixed]
"Yes, should be good to go," Savannah says to Euphemia as she walks with the woman now, looking around the place with a slight flush, "I mean, I fixed up some of the stuff myself, but I also moved in with some of it. So I can't remember which parts I made my own and which were here already, but the bathroom is definitely my vision and choice because I love soaking in a damn tub."
Maxine relaxed as Savannah fails to signal any discomfort with the hand holding arrangement and Maxine at last squeezes Euphemia's hand back in turn. She still seems intensely nervous over something despite her excitement at the idea of a warm bath and apparent appreciation of the company she has. She worries her lower lip with a canine for several moments, eyes on the bath behind dark glasses, then at last with a deep breath as though to brace herself, she takes her glasses off.
Maxine blinks a couple times as her eyes adjust to the brighter light without sunglasses.
"You enjoy it even more so now, I'm sure." Euphemia intones quietly, gesturing suggestively towards herself with a sultry little smirk. She moves to turn the tub on... notably pausing as Maxine removes her glasses... unable to help but to stare for a few moments of intrigue. "...Aren't her eyes pretty, Savannah?" Euphemia finally whispers... one hand lowered to gauge the temperature of the water below. Eventually, however... her eyes redirect to the water below. Slowly coming to a close. "...I'm glad we get to do more things like this. I've been shut away from the world for a while. Is there anything we can get for you hun?"
Savannah looks over towards Maxine at the reveal of her eyes and she tilts her head, perhaps used to seeing this sort of thing, or any number of things this town often reveals. She nods her head with a smile afterwards, turning to look towards the water as it begins to fill the tub and heat up, "It is a really nice tub, and I really do enjoy it more that you're here, it is big enough to relax in and sprawl out with one... but can fit more!" She smiles and leans herself into the sink nearby, checking the towels once more, "And her eyes are pretty. And yeah, me too, looking forward to just meeting more people and having fun because... I don't know, life can be too serious sometimes."
