[Waiting by the boats where they arrived, Nick looked back and forth, looking for Molly.

Finally, he caught sight of her and waved his arm around frantically.]

Right over here! ...Isn't that heavy for this kind of weather?

[He motioned towards her dress.]

[ooc: Did you want to skip over Allie or wait for her?]

O-oh god s-so sorry guys! Weekend ate me up DDD8

[ferntickled]

{Glad she was spotted; makes her way to them before curtsying politely}

Hello sirs! Very nice to meet you.

{And she's puzzled by Nick's question, looking down at her uniform}

I don't know what you mean, Mr Nick. Do women of similar rank not wear such garments in your world?

{It makes her giggle though, and she smiles warmly}

Never you mind, sir. Let's get out of the evening chill and go elsewhere.

{she leads them away from the Docks and into the Market Square, before showing them into a homely looking Inn}

[whatgunbag]

Likewise.

[He smirked in her direction, happy they have some kind of guidance.]

Unless they're going somewhere fancy, most women don't wear dresses like that. [His thoughts go back to where he just left. Yeah, those fancy places no longer existed.] Uh... So, this looks cozy.

{She's a little confused at that}

Fancy? This is my work uniform, sir. I dare not ever wear it to formal occasions. Besides, I would not be invited to such social events, being what I am.

{There's no bitterness or jealousy, just acceptance- and a soft smile because life was much more uncomplicated that way}

Oh, I should hope so! It's been around for several generations now, and I am good friends with the family who run it.

{She gestures for them to take a seat whilst she goes to reception to fix a room for them}

You won't mind sharing a room? They only have one spare bedroom but there are two beds.

[He looked away, trying to hide his embarassed expression.]

So, you work in another hotel or something?

[Nick then looked back, looking slightly disgusted.]

Do we really have to? I- [He took a deep breath.] If you only have one room, then I guess I'll take what I can get.
