Second Floor CR, Tuesday Night

[ella_obeys]

Ella needed to mend the blouse she had torn the week before, but she was too bored and restless to stay in her room. She took it and her little sewing kit out to the common room and perched on the couch, frowning at her needle and thread. The fact she knew how to sew from her time at finishing school didn't make it any fun at all.

Blair was passing by and saw Ella. She decided to come in and make herself comfortable.

"You sew?"

There was no judgement there. Blair was merely gathering information.

[ella_obeys]

There was a muttered ow -- another needle jab -- before Ella blinked and turned to look at Blair. "Not well," she said ruefully. "They made us practice at finishing school. I tore my blouse last week and thought I'd mend it myself."

"And hello."

[gameknowsgame]

"You need new clothes," Blair told her, ignoring the hello since they were already talking and therefore clearly beyond that stage. She looked Ella over. "We're not the same size, but I can probably get my hands on some samples that might fit you. Do you do tailoring?"

[ella_obeys]

"I probably do," Ella had to acknowlege. "I got some more modern things in a handwavy manner, but I suppose I'm more comfortable with the stuff from home."

She frowned. "You mean hemming and such? I could try. Most of what I know is more like embroidery, knitting, all of that." Nothing useful; that would be against the point of finishing school.

It was rare that Pride turned out to be as loud and annoying as his mother had been, but, tonight, he must have been in a bit of a mood and was keeping Adah from properly relaxing. A bit reluctantly, she moved toward the common room, rabbit cradled and curled like a ball of fluff in the crook of her good arm and, when she got to the common room, she awkwardly but relatively easily, bent in a little to set him down on the floor. Let him run around like crazy in here; she didn't care if he chewed on anything here, and maybe he'd wear himself out by the time he'd had his fun expending himself so she could sleep well enough tonight.

Fat chance, though, which was why Adah was going for the cupboard for a cup of tea while Pride hopped across the floor with random abandon. The people already in the room got a bit of a hike of her chin in a vague sort of greeting.

Ella was happy for the excuse to set aside her mending. "Bunny!" she said gleefully, kneeling to get a better look at the rabbit.

She glanced to the brunette making tea. "Is he yours?" she inquired.

It may have been a stupid question.

With Adah as an owner, Pride wasn't exactly used to joyful exclamations in response to him. Thrown books, maybe, but rarely sounds. He jumped quite a bit, skittering away behind the television set, and only tentatively peeking out a moment later.

And then, as if remembering his name, he hopped back out with his head lifted, nose twitching, as if pretending that no such skittering occurred.

Adah watched it all with her amusement plainly clear in her crooked face, a mug dangling from her good hand, and she nodded a little in response.

[ella_obeys]

Ella stayed kneeling on the floor, holding some fingers out to the skittish bunny. She watched it exit and return with some amusement on her face, then glanced back at Adah.

"He's handsome," she declared. "Or she's beautiful, one can't really tell with rabbits. Or at least I can't; I'm sure you know."
