*Enter Nan King, a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a rather fine suit and shirt. She raises an eyebrow and takes off her hat, looking amused*

'Lo, there. I'm Nan King. *she pauses, then, and adds, softly* Is there a Miss Kitty Butler here?

Typist: Nan, from Tipping the Velvet. I blame Anna. XD

*smiles prettily and is just about to dip into a curtsy when she realises this is a lady. dressed as a man.* Innerflails!*

Er....bonjour, mademoiselle. *keeps smiling, because doesn't want to appear rude!*

[kent_mermaid]

*headtilts, smiling a bit* French, are you?

[la_baronne]

Oh, yes indeed! *beamity* Do you, er, always dress...like that?

[kent_mermaid]

'Ve never been there, but it sounds interesting enough. *and this is a rather blank look* ...Yes. I'm -- I used to do this on the stage.

[la_baronne]

Oh, France is lovely!

--But...don't you like dresses?

[kent_mermaid]

'M sure it is.

*tilts head* Well, they're alright. But sometimes, when you're in the street, y' get queer looks from gentlemen. It's easier to dress like this.

[la_baronne]

*headtilts* Truly? I don't recall that ever happening to me...

[kent_mermaid]

*shrugs* Well, it's happened to me a few times.

[la_baronne]

Why, then those aren't gentlemen, for that's rather rude.

[kent_mermaid]

I daresay it is, miss.

[la_baronne]

Oh, do forgive my rudeness, mlle. I've not introduced myself. *curtsies properly this time, all smiles* My name is Cosette.

[kent_mermaid]

*can't help smiling back, because -- well, really, could you resist a Cosette!smile?*

*does her best gentlemanly bow, doffing her hat* A pleasure, Miss Cosette.

[la_baronne]

*why, it's practically scientifically proven that they're irresistable!*

*is used to people not assuming she's married, so won't bother to make the correction here, either* It's lovely to meet you as well, Mlle. Nan. *still with the smiles* You're one of the most pleasant people I've met here recently.

[kent_mermaid]

*smiling back, still!* Oh, I ain't as much as all that, miss, truly.

[la_baronne]

*is really taking a liking to her, interestingly, so the smiling probably won't stop for a while* Oh, nonsense. You've been an absolute dear!

[kent_mermaid]

*oh, good, it's not here, either* *laughs a bit and bows* Thank you, then.
