I've never had a silk dress of my own before. I'll have to find a good seamstress so none of it's wasted. [ but also— ] Are you keeping some for yourself?
[Look, she sounds extremely happy about this, considering how well Derrica likes pretty things.]
Awesome. Right on time, then.
Y'think I should?
[Though Ellie tends to not wear such fragile stuff on a regular basis, she has been mixing with a surprising amount of high society lately. So maybe that's not a terrible idea.]
Yes. The navy blue, I think, [ decisively, though she tempers it with— ] But maybe not for a dress, if you don't care for it. But there are other things you could have made that would be flattering.
But it'll be too heavy for the summer. A light tunic of silk would be good for you to have on hand, in case we need to make ourselves presentable for some dinner or other. [ practical!! ] You could come to the seamstress with me, so we can be sure you have something you like made.
[Pleased; probably a little flushed over it. It's nice to be complimented, and Derrica has a way of making this stuff seem practical rather than intimidating.]
That sounds awesome. And we won't stick out like a sore thumb in Antiva.

[Ellie's voice warms, happy with the thought.]
Yeah, maybe like a tunic or a vest or something. I liked that first outfit you helped me pick out, way back when.

[ Antiva. Crows. Stressful. ]
Would you like to go tomorrow? I have time in the afternoon, if you'd like.

[Flippantly, but she can appreciate that most people in Riftwatch understand why she's like this.]
Yeah, I'd like that. Give me enough time to wash the griffon smell off me or they'll throw us out of the shops.
