"Okay. How should I present it?"

"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."

"Why is that one not okay to mention?"

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"...it's a magical effect, not a cultural one."

Permalink

"I'm afraid most people will not discriminate between the two, however much they should."

Permalink

"I do apologize for my society."

Permalink

"It's hardly your fault."

"We should... probably find you different clothes. Before I let my grandfather know we have a guest."

Permalink

"Okay. I can't see so I'm going to need help avoiding, like, unfashionable color combinations."

"I think you're about my size." Her room is this way. 

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

Nod.

"You're welcome to hold my arm if that would help."

Annie doesn't need further encouragement to cling to Lucette's arm.

"My name is Annie," she mentions.

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"Oh, I do, it's Svane. Annabelline Merry Svane."

Permalink

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?"

Permalink

"...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."

Permalink

"Unfortunately yes - we could do a heavier fabric that falls short of your ankles?"

Permalink

"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."

Permalink

"Mm, I've never worn anything but skirts - I must admit I'm jealous."

Permalink

"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."
