The best accessories do - and Leia can give Dalia some help with her hair, even. Repay the favor.

They can get matching designs!!

They'll have to pick clothes that are in harmony, then - your hair is part of you, and is integral to your entire presentation.

Oh no, that means more shopping they will definitely have to abort the whole endeavor haha just kidding Dalia already knows how to match the rest of their outfits.

Dalia doesn't seem the kind to mind more shopping, anyways.

It's fun! Leia's having at least a little bit of fun, too, she can tell.

Maybe more than a little.

That's good.

Grin. Then, with a smirk (trying very hard to cover up her nerves): "You know... There's a lot of social occasions where it'd be very rude for me to not wear gifts you've given me, even if they'd be otherwise not part of the professional dress code... Especially if I was there by your invitation."

"It's my seventeenth birthday next week," she says slyly. "I'm having a party. Do you want to come?"

" - Oh!"

That's not a bad 'oh,' but: "Ah, Empire Day, right? - That's my birthday, too, though I was just going to have a nice breakfast with my dad and a holocall with my mom - "

"But I'd love to come, especially if the timing works out."

"It's an evening party. Evening and night."

"Perfect."

"That's the plan."

She laughs. "My assistants might not find having only a week to put together an imperial birthday gift very perfect, though."

"Tell them I said you wearing the outfit I picked for you would be gift enough."

"It'd be a matter of professional pride to go beyond that, I bet, since it's a minimum expectation. Though, if there's something I can give you personally..."

She could strip out of the outfit Dalia picked.

"How about a kiss?" she suggests.

(Shiver.)

"A fairy-tale sort of gift," she teases, to try to disguise the way her heartbeat is fluttering.

"You only get to invite another princess to your seventeenth birthday once."

"I'd have thought you could have every princess in the galaxy at your parties if you wanted."

"But then I'd be too busy kissing them all to do anything else."

Giggle. "Maybe."

"Besides, I think it's better to personally vet all the princesses one is going to invite to their parties. There are some real boors out there, a girl's gotta be careful."

"I'm glad I met your standards, then," she says, tone dry.
