It is about halfway through the third hour of the fifteenth day of Lucette's attempt to reorganize her grandfather's library. The project is moving at an acceptable pace overall, though she's starting to question the wisdom of having scheduled the whole thing down to the hour during day three (hour four).
"Highlight how your powers don't come with occasional hauntings and instead come with consistent drawbacks that don't change over time, and so you need not be in a rush to get married like empowered are. Also... um. Don't mention the being in love with a woman drawback. The others should be okay to mention."
"English women don't fall in love with other women to my knowledge, and if they did it would be viewed as ... um. Rather extremely untoward."
"I believe there have been other societies on my world where people did otherwise, but mine tends to look down on most foreign cultures unfortunately."
"I'm afraid most people will not discriminate between the two, however much they should."
"We should... probably find you different clothes. Before I let my grandfather know we have a guest."
"Okay. I can't see so I'm going to need help avoiding, like, unfashionable color combinations."
"Not too fast please, I don't think any of my artifacts made me steadier on my feet and I started out pretty bad on that front."
Annie doesn't need further encouragement to cling to Lucette's arm.
"My name is Annie," she mentions.
"Mm, I'm Lucette Oakhill - if you don't have a last name you should make one up before talking to my grandfather so you come across as a commoner."
Nod.
Here is Lucette's suite, and off to the right of her bedroom is her dressing room, with clothing in various wardrobes.
"Do you have opinions on style or form, if not color?"
"...seems like a lot of skirts. Ideally they wouldn't catch on things and trip me. I'm getting the sense that's a tall order in this style though."
"I'm not sure heavier is quite the thing so much as less voluminous. Especially since I'm too warm. But I don't know. I haven't tended to wear skirts at all."
"Well, these jeans have blood on them but you can try them on sometime if you want, I think you're right that we're of a size."
