Room 303, Tuesday night

Walter got back from work and dinner with Pippi to find a note from Victor on his door.

Nadia had been very surprised to find the note on her door. She wondered if his leaving had to do with her dream and him breaking up with Walter and . . . well. She wondered a lot of things.

One of the big ones was how Walter was taking it.

She still had a key to the room, but she also had a sense of propriety, so she knocked.

Walter scrubbed his face and sat up, but didn't rush for the door. "Who is it?"

[nadiathesaint]

Yeah, this wasn't too much of a reversal of two weeks ago, wasn't it. Nadia was almost wishing for a waistcoat to complete the image.

That would have just been silly, though.

"It's Nadia. I got a letter from Victor, are you okay?"

Dumb question? Yeah, maybe. But it was all she had at the moment.

Walter got off the bed and opened the door, heading for the bathroom to wash his face and try to look less like he'd been doing what he'd been doing.

"Come in."

[walter_n_wires]

Boy!Nadia had been quite good looking. Walter was ready to nod until he heard her counter-proposal. "But...!" he sputtered. "You already wanted to wear a tuxedo!"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked blankly at Walter. "Nope, no boy!Nadia without at least a dress on you. You don't have to be a girl if you don't want to, though."

[walter_n_wires]

"I'd be better off as a girl if you're going to try to shove me in a dress." He shook his head. "I don't know how to do those girl things like hair and makeup. You don't want your date looking like a clown dressed him... her."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia rolled her eyes. "I redid Pippi's hair, remember? I can certainly do yours." She quirked her mouth to one side, then shrugged. "Okay, we'll flip for it. Heads and you go as a girl. Tails, and you don't. Deal?"
