Well, maybe he would. At least Nita could make herself a bit more presentable. "We don't have much time... Have a seat, and I'll try to get ready." She handed the note back to Lauren and over to her dresser.
After a few moments of rustling through drawers, Nita found a reddish wrap-around skirt (so she had brought one after all!) and a clean tanktop that matched it well enough. She disappeared into the bathroom to brush her hair out and get dressed.
Just before 8 o'clock she emerged dressed with her hair hanging loose to her waist. She had to wear the skirt low, her tail sticking out the top, but it wasn't too uncomfortable. Noticing Lauren was still barefoot, Nita decided to go the same way, since the couple pairs she had brought really wouldn't go with the oufit.
She stood in front of Lauren, a hopeful expression on her face. "Is this okay, do you think?"

Lauren leaned over towards Nita to plant a kiss on her lips. "Beautiful!" Then she grabbed her tail playfully. "Hrm... maybe we should get undressed and skip dinner." A wry smile crossed her lips, revealing her canines.

Nita snickered and returned the kiss, blushing through her fur. "That sounds lovely," she said, "But I think we're due to be picked up any time now." Her tail waved slightly behind her.
The red panda girl tried hard not to be nervous at meeting Moreau. She had sort of met him before, right when she arrived, but these were distinctly different circumstances. Not only was he the owner of the entire Island and the one behind her changes, but he was also her girlfriend's father-figure. Wonderful.

A Jeep pulled up at Nita's duplex. Of course they knew where they were already. They were both chipped, they could find them anywhere on the island. The guard stopped the jeep and let the engine run down a little bit. "If you two will get in I'll take you up to the labs."

Lauren grabbed Nita's hand and smiled, "Come on." Yeah so formal type fancy dinners where not her thing but it was fun every once in a while. She went up to jeep and hoped in, not really bothering to open the door.
From the inside, Lauren opened the door for Nita politely and patted the seat next to her.

Nita held Lauren's hand tightly and followed her to the Jeep. She attempted a smile at the guard and climbed in next to Lauren. "Thanks," she said, buckling her seatbelt automatically.

The jeep drove towards the labs. As usual per it's approach the gates opened automatically when they got close. They pulled into a parking lot and the guard escorted them towards the main lab building.
After going through the main lobby he took both Nita and Lauren to the Elevator. The elevator opened, he waited for them to get in and then said "Mansion". The elevator door closed as the elevator began to rise high up into the mountain and into the mansion that had been built into it.

Lauren waited for the elevator to reach it's destianation, still holding onto Nita's hand. She wondered if she was over dressed, perhaps she should of talked more to Moreau about this whole thing.

Of course, next to Lauren, Nita felt ridiculously underdressed. The note had said "extravagant."
The first part of the trip, up to the labs, was familiar enough from Nita's recent trip to the hospital. However, she had never been to the mansion; the prospect was rather daunting.

The elevator opened Moreau in a suit was standing there. "Welcome, both of you. He half bowed to Nita and smiled at Lauren. I'm glad you could join me for dinner."
"You both look lovely... but I have presents, if you care to change." Moreau reached over and handed them both a large box, with a small box on top of it. "There is a room you can change in over there." Moreau motioned to a nearby large washroom/dressing room.
If opened, they would reveal extravogant dresses that made the first one that Lauren was given appear cheap. In the box on top there is expensive earrings and necklesses to compliment the outfit. Each outfit looks like it cost atleast a few thousand.

Lauren opened up the box and smiled at Nita, "I told you!" She said. "THANKS!" She added to Moreau. The mongoose had hoped Nita wasn't too nervous, she wanted her girlfriend to be comfortable around her so called family. But Lauren also knew Moreau was a person most islanders hated and feared.
Maybe all of this would get Nita comfortable around him, allow her to understand more where Lauren is comming from.
Lauren blushed a bit. It seemed kind of weird to get changed in the same room with her girlfriend at her 'dads' house. Regardless she went into the room and beckoned for Nita to follow.

Nita smiled back at Moreau, clearly not in her element but making a rather impressive effort not to appear like a fish out of water. A red panda out of the forest? Whatever.
"Thank you, sir," she said, accepting both boxes. She peeked into the larger one as she followed Lauren.

Lauren gave Nita a quick smooch as the entered the room, "So... how are you feeling?" She asked. Maybe she was worrying too much about things.
The mongoose changed as she listened, not really doing much to her hair other than tossing it up. Her ears hadn't had earrings in them forever and were no longer pierced so she couldn't bother with the earrings. Changing closed the small holes that were left in her ears.
Still, the shinyness of them impressed her. It seemed so important, more then usual to hold something shiny. She wanted desperately to hide them somewhere safe so she could go back to look at them from time to time.

"I'm okay," Nita shrugged. "Just... weird. I dunno." She smiled, pushing aside the desire to curl up somewhere and hide.
Nita couldn't help but be impressed with the dress and the jewelry, although she had never had her ears pierced, so the earrings didn't do much good. The necklace, however, was quite lovely, matching the dress perfectly. Once changed, Nita dragged her fingers through her hair again. One good thing about claws, at least, was that it made finger-combing her hair awfully easy. She set the boxes aside and reached for Lauren's hand.
"Shall we?"

Moreau waited for the two women to come out dressed. He internally cursed himself for not considering the earrings. "Those look ravishing on both of you." The strong smell of food waffs into the room.
"This way to the dining room." Moreau lead both of them to the impressive dining room that Lauren had seen before. Large and extravogant it had a long table. Across the front part of the table, where the three of them would be sitting was wine, and a distinctly asian smelling dish in sauce.
"I had my chefs prepare this with for you both. It is gourmet meat and bamboo shoots, in a rich asian sauce. Only in your cases, I had them cooked together, but the meat and bamboo shoots were seperated for each of you." Moreau motioned where they would each be sitting.
"I don't think you'll have ever had anything like it." Moreau had his own mixed bowl sitting in front of him. There were chop sticks there, but he had also laid out the silverware in the traditional style.
