Ciel smiled and walked with Regent. She was very excited, but she had already learned that she was to contain herself. She looked up to Regent and grinned.
"Chancellor, I would like you to know that I am very excited about this trip. I must thank you again from the bottom of my everything for the privilege."

Tre'Maya smiled wider as Thane was so graceful in his gliding up to escort her. He really was getting much better at hiding his excitement. She figured it must truly be his station that made him to be so stoic.
She was becoming more and more proud of him as the days went by. It was her that she was really worried about. She kept getting those damned butterflies...but she had been hiding them for a lot longer than Thane had been alive. She was a bit smoother at not showing it.
She laughed to herself and stole a glance at him. He really did love her with everything. She only hoped that she could show him that she did the same...one of these days.

The little band proceeds into the night toward the most elaborate clothier in the market. as they approach several little demonlings scurry about into the street to them. Each one dressed very smartly and holding a little tray of fine horsd'oeuvres fit for demonic royalty. They offer them to the ladies first then the men.
The best dressed bell captain bows and clears his throat to speak. "Grand Chancellor it is our greatest honor to welcome you to our humble shop. We have made the required preparations and we eagerly await to serve your eminence." he says with a practiced voice with a tone of mild snobbery and respect. The doors open with a stout demonling holding each door open for them to enter easily with out missing a step.

Regent forms a thin smile at the reception. He looks to Ciel and watches her to see how the pampering effects her. He nods to her to take the refreshments as they are the finest jellied blood tarts wrapped in thin crisped skin rolls with whipped creamy blood plasma icing. Fine and delicate treats fit for kings and queens.
He then looks the the little bell captain. "Good eve captain. Please show us in to your master as we are likewise eager to begin."
The little demonling bows again, "Lord Finneous awaits you, please follow me." He says as he snaps his fingers and the little demonlings fall into line and they proceed into the shop in a grand procession.

Ciel looks fully overwhelmed as the little demons putter about, offering trays of yummy looking delicacies. She hesitantly takes one and pops into her mouth, smiling as it melts on her tongue.
As they enter the shop, Ciel has a great sense of deja vu...and she gets sad for the briefest of moments.

Tre'Maya takes a few of the offered goodies and smiles herself as she nibbles. She notes Ciel's reactions and nods to Thane. Pardon me for a second, Elite. She let go of his arm for the briefest of moments and glided straight up to Ciel's side. She leaned in to whisper in the darling girl's ear.
As she whispered, Ciel nodded, wiping her face. When the Lady finally pulled back from the lovely dancer, her face was calm and she nodded. Tre'Maya nodded herself and flowed back to take Thane's arm again. There. Now she should at least be a bit better at being calm.

Thane smirks to the snacks and he can barely wait for the ladies to take before he casually takes a Rachet sized handful for himself. He controls his urges to stuff them all in his face at once but he is sorely tempted. As they all enter he nibbles at them with a wide grin to Tre'Maya. He loves these little things. "MMMMMMM Ummmm ummmm."

Tre'Maya chuckled, still holding his arm. Enjoying them, my Elite? She patted his arm and glided to Regent.
I am curious, Chancellor. Is there a certain cut or color that you wished to start with?

Regent looks to Tre'maya with a bit of uncertainty in his electric eyes. "Let us see what our dearest Ciel would choose. Her initial instinct to clothing should prove most entertaining."
A wide smile parts his black lips to expose his perfect pointed teeth. "After all she must become comfortable with making hard choices, lets make this one as easy as possible for her to start with...

After a bit of waiting lord Finneous enters with a long train of servants. The lithe leccubi is dressed in a fine suit with impeccable lines and flair. His shirt is opened partly down his chest in a lacy shirt of Victorian style, the look is very sharp on him. He stops before Ciel and up goes a quick hand over his mouth to cover his shock. His voice is rich with his upper class Londoners accent
"Welcome all to my humble shop. My beauty, they said a lady would be calling this fine eve, but they did not tell me that I be dressing a tasty little kindred morsel as you..." he says with quick lick of his lips in a smile exposing his fangs freely showing his kindred spirit to Ciel.
With a flip of his head his shoulder length black hair moves away from his eyes to get a better look. He circles her slowly, like a shark that smells blood in the water. "Hum, oh yes, thats good... " he says to himself. He holds out his hand and one of the many the little demonlings places the garment measuring tape in his hand without a word. "I am sure I don't need this but do lets be certain, shall we?" he says softly. As he approaches Ciel with a smile and the tape unfurled. "Don't worry lovely, this won't hurt me one bit." He says with a sly chuckle at his own joke to make her loosen up some.

Ciel looked at him and curled her lip. "Oh most certainly. Please, do what you will. I am yours to mold...however, I believe that I shall look over fabrics and things whenever you are ready, sir."

Finneous quirks his head to Tre'Maya, and grins at her, "Where ever did you collect this rare gem, she is most delightful... He doesn't wait for an answer, instead he continues to speak to Ciel as he proceeds to take Ciel's measurements with a master precision. "Yes my love, we shall, but first we must pace the dance before we must seduce the linen."
With this he begins to rattle off numbers in his Leccubi tongue as he floats about Ciel with his tape flicking fast like a lizard's tongue. The little demonlings are scribbling notes fast and furious to keep pace with his words. Then lastly he ropes her in with the tape as he quickly measures her waist, tummy then he looks deeply into her eyes as he measures her ample bust. "We are going to create delicious magic with these..." He says with a wink to her.
Then, in a practiced whirl, he spins round and the tape whips about and recoils in his hand as he bows to Regent. "Grand Chancellor we shall take a few moments to tend to our notes and then when we have surmised the lovelies form, we shall begin to sample fabrics... till then please make yourselves comfortable." With that he walks out of the room as he takes the lone wine goblet from the demonling captain waiting by the door. In a flurry additional wine goblets are brought out on a tray starting with Lady Ciel. The rich blood fermented lightly leaves a delicious fragrance filling the room. The demonlings bring a tall chair for Ciel to sit as she is the center of attention in the middle of the room. The Bell Captain bows "If you are in need, please chime the gong..." he extends his hand toward the back wall where a huge gong hangs taking up the entire wall. then the trays are left and the little demonlings vanish as fast as they came in.

Regent looks about and takes a glass for himself. He takes a seat stiffly on the long cooshie lounger and looks up to Ciel.
"How are we my dear? Are you comfortable? How do you like Lord Finneous? He certainly seems charming, and efficient in his work." Regent says feeling as he appears, out of his element. His experiences and decorum are dictating his responses, but it is clear that he is a bit uncomfortable with the social interactions just as his ramblings suggest.

Tre'Maya smiles as she watches all the preparations to outfit the Devilcat. She can't help but feel like a mother or an older sister as she watches. She throws glances back to look at Thane as he gobbles and smiles.

Ciel smiles as she waits for Finneous to finish taking her measurements. "I do not doubt that the dance's pace must work with the seduction of things. Seduction is the best fun anyone can have..."
As the chair and the goblets are brought, Ciel flushes. "I feel more like a Lady at this moment than I ever have." She turns to Regent and coyly asks, "Is this what it is to truly be a Lady, Chancellor?"
She takes a little time and then answers. "I like him Chancellor...he is a seductive one, and you know how much that means to me..."
She looks to Regent, a bit giggly. "Am I supposed to feel as though I could float on wings that I have never possessed?"

Regent smiles to Ciel's comfort. He shrugs slightly as he answers her questions. "I wouldn't really know what it would be like to be a proper lady Ciel, I suppose I could give it a try one day..." He quickly morphs into a very stately and attractive woman with long flowing red hair and fiery eyes that make his new found femininity smoldering. She speaks with a very sexy voice and a flip of her wavy hair. "What do you think? Sheek, ellgant? Till then, I would recommend consulting the grand duchess for such comparisons." He winks at her playfully and reverts to his usual form with a flash of energy. He sinks back into the chair feeling a bit more relaxed now as he sips his wine.

Thane watches the silly Leccubi prance and flirt with Ciel. When he leaves and the wine is introduced Thane gleefully takes a goblet and takes a big drink. His snacks now gone and he is tempted to ring the gong for more, but he thinks twice. He returns Tre'Maya's glance with a smirk as he is clearly here for the fine food. Thinly disguised as security.
Thane is board now, and this has only started. He sips his wine and stands as still as he can while the others talk.

Tre'Maya sits and nods as she answers the pretty Devilcat, taking her own goblet. Even those of us with our own wings can tell you that as a Lady, this is one of the best parts of being such. Nothing feels quite so nice as to have someone fussing over you and catering to you to outfit you.
She smiled and crossed her legs carefully. Even I will admit to a break in decorum when I come to this shop. Finneous is just the kind of Leccubi that one could really let their hair down around...metaphorically speaking, of course.
Placing a hand on Thane's huge arm, she spoke to the others. I quite understand your discomfort here Chancellor. Most men do not like ladies clothiers for long. Something about lace and fluttery things keep them bored...unless they see them in action on said Lady.

Regent nods to Tre'Maya and is happy she is trying to comfort his mild but obvious anxiety.
"Though it is expected of me, I often find the social engagements rather unnerving, I must admit that I find them tedious and at some point I find myself ill equipped to maintain any interests for it. He says mater of factly to her. "However, I am quickly learning that it is the company that makes the occasion... meaningful." He says with an added spark in his electric eyes when he looks to Ciel.
He raises his goblet to her and smiles. "A toast to our wild flower. Though we have transplanted her into a new world, may she thrive in the fertile soil of ladyship, and may her radiant beauty relight the fires of passion throughout the Empire."
He takes a long drink after his toast that polishes off his last bit of wine.

Tre'Maya nods in agreement, sipping her wine. I find that matters carried out in great social decorum tend to be long and rather monotonous, however necessary they seem or actually are. I go to the ones that I am absolutely forced to attend. The others I merely write thank-you notes to out of courtesy and stay in to catch up on my learning, which is more fascinating by far..
She smiled and shot a glance at Thane before continuing. Yes, I also rather agree that the company that one keeps does make or break the occasion.
Letting her eyes quickly float back to the Chancellor and his up-raised glass to the new Lady, she inclined her head and motioned for Thane to do the same.
Hear, hear! May she always shine as a lovely and sparkling death blossom that effervesces everything that she needs to remain at her station - beauty, stealth, and above all, resolve. Thane, have you anything to add?
She finished her own glass and looked expectantly to the bored Elite, hoping that including him would take his mind off of how stuffy the place was.
