Shopping in Athens took her a little longer than it did at home - not because her Greek wasn't good, but because she had discovered a few more shops that catered to the very petite - and more importantly, they had people on staff to make alterations, so she didn't have to do it herself. She amused herself by choosing a few outfits for Alex, a rugged leather look - brown, not black. Biker would be dumb on him, she thought. Then, while she continued to wait, she hit the bookstores, necessitating more than a few parcels being delivered to the airport for her. When she had hit all her credit card could handle, she shrugged, and pulled out a pilfered one of his. The hell was the point of being immortal if you didn't occasionally buy nice shit?
When she picked up the outfit, it looked good, and finally she was ready. She made her way to the museum - to discover she had missed court entirely.
Whoops. She had just insured she had the best getaway ever. No politics. Just indulgence.
