While Ebony faded once more to the background of the store, careful to explain and apologize for her ward's unfortunate accident. Luckily, the clerk was more than happy to accept the apology especially with gaining more business from the exotic looking female and her beautiful, albeit odd, looking companions. Wings flicking excitedly, Cordelia couldn't contain lavishing her friend with more compliments. "Ohhh that's such a good idea! You're so smart Pasha!"Releasing her hold on the muse's arm, Delia floated to the far end of the selection of violins hanging on the wall. Very delicately she went down the line and plucked a string on each one of them, her eyelids closing softly as she listened intently to the sound each one made. After having sampled all of them, the dark Frei drifted back towards the middle of the wall, giving a few more plucks to two that sat side by side. Opening her eyes and whirling around to her friend with a bright, cheery smile. "I think one of these?" Again the youth plucked each one in succession for the Sigel, smiling happily at the sounds made. The one on the left held a high pinging sound when prompted while the one on the right produced a lower, yet rich pong. Both rather lovely and desirable in their own right. "What do you think?"

Melisande floated after her, eyes suddenly serious. It was rare that her opinion was asked for! She clasped her hands together under her chin, blue eyes flicking between the two violins. For the first time in her young life, Pasha realized just how expensive instruments like these were, and how lucky Delia was to be gifted with one! It wasn't an opinion she wanted to offer without true thought.
"They're both lovely..." Her voice was soft, contemplative. The muse opened one wing, drifting towards the one on the right, then closed it and opened the other, drifting towards the one on the left. "And they both have a beautiful sound..."
She turned to face Cordelia, eyes still scrutinizing. Tilting her head, she pondered the Frei for another long moment. "The lighter one has a sweeter tone, like you! So I think..."
She turned and pointed dramatically to the violin on the right. "The darker one! It will compliment you, instead of compete with you, with its deeper voice!" The muses's cheeks were flushed as she turned back to Delia. This was exciting!
"But...it's only my opinion. Pick the one that sings for you, no matter what!"

Waiting patiently for her new friend's response, Cordelia swayed back and forth in place, trying to determine an opinion of her own that was independent from the other's. The black one was similar to her surely, but the other was more classical looking in its shading...oh why did decisions have to be so hard?!
The snake's nose scrunched slightly at the mention of her being sweet. The word was synonymous with candy, most specifically the chocolate Valentine's that Ebony had bought a while back of which Delia had not taken a well liking to. So she wasn't sure if she should take the comment as a compliment or not, yet she knew one thing, she would not have an instrument that was considered such.
"I like that one better too." she nodded her agreement before carefully sliding the violin from the wall. All smiles again, she turned back to Pasha victorious, her prize nestled snug in her arms. Not too tight though, Cordelia would be sure to treat this one with extra care. "Thank you for helping Pasha. Is there anything I can help you with?" Surely the muse had come into the store because she was looking for something as well?

"Oh, you're welcome!" Melisande's smile was so bright that it almost dimpled at the corners. Still smiling, she took a long look at Cordelia holding her new violin, as gently as a new puppy. "I think you made a lovely choice, Delia."
Drifting back a bit, to clear the way between the Frei and the counter, Pasha considered the girl's question. "Help me? Well..." Suddenly a bit shy, she clasped her hands together behind the small of her back, and drifted even more. "I just wanted to meet you, that's all. It's been a while since I've seen my friends..." The loneliness had certainly ebbed since meeting Delia, but the Sigel was feeling suddenly selfish.
"I hope you're not upset that I interrupted you and Ebby...ah, I mean, Ebony! I hope you have a lovely day shopping." Had it been rude of her to interrupt like she had? Uncertainty colored Pasha's cheeks a bit, and she tilted her head with a shy smile. "And it really was nice to meet you." Melisande unclasped her hands and spread the lowest tier of her makeshift dress, curtsying in mid air.

"Are you leaving us so soon Pasha?" came the British laced voice of the smokey Frei's guardian, back from her trip to the shopkeeper, black violin shaped case in tow. "With our business here finished, I had hoped to invite you to lunch with us. And..." Tucking a straying strand of lavender carefully behind her ear as she looked around, Ebony added, "And your guardian if they have accompanied you today."
Dark lips set to pout at her realization that the muse was saying farewell so soon, they instead spread into a dazzling array of pearl white. Ebby always had good timing! Bouncing in place again, Cordelia gently juggled her new instrument while trying to take Pasha's hands into her own. Luckily Ebony took notice and quickly placed the string in the case she'd purchased for it. For the amount she paid for it, the Brit wanted it to at least survive getting out of the store!
"Thank you Ebby!" she smiled sweetly before taking Pasha's hands in her own. "Pasha, please won't you lunch with us? It hasn't been long that I've been able to actually talk with others. You're so nice and I would just love to talk with you more!"

Melisande blushed, and instead of meeting their eyes, watched as the new instrument was packed carefully into the case. It was her immediate inclination to decline the invitation, after all, what if they were only asking to be nice?
So what if they are? Pasha thought to herself after a moment. Being nice was...a nice thing to do! When she lifted her gaze again, she took Delia's hands with a smile.
"If it isn't trouble, I would love to go to lunch!" She gave the Frei's hands a squeeze before letting go, raising her arms to pat delicately at her hair. It had been a little breezy outside, her curls were probably a mess! Melisande still wasn't used to wearing her hair up...having her shoulders, arms, and neck so bare still made her feel a little exposed. As soon as she was sure that she was at least presentable, she offered her hand again to the other Raevan.
"I'm having a nice time with you, as well, Delia. I've been lonely lately, without Sevvie, or Lucia, or...Zavier..." She blushed a bit at the last name, and one of the flower buds at her temple peeked open, delicate petals unfurling. "So it's wonderful to have met someone like you!" Glancing up to Ebony as soon as the words were out of her mouth, Melisande swiftly amended. "Like both of you, I mean! And thank you for the invitation!"
Where had her manners gone?! Pasha sighed inwardly, knowing Aki would have given her a stern look for the lapse. She missed her guardian, as much as she didn't want to admit it, and there was something comfortingly familiar about Ebony's manner. Even if she wasn't a Raevan, she was a very thoughtful person!

Cordelia couldn't help cringing some at the mention of the cat Raevan, her former friend. She felt that familiar tinge of sadness and loss teasing at her heart's edge, but realized she mustn't allow it to ruin her joyous moment now. After all, this was a time of celebration! Not only had the basilisk gained a brand new toy, but a new friend as well. Lucia might be gone, but Pasha was here! And Delia would be sure to bask in every moment of the blonde's time with her today.
Wings giving off a pleased clicking, Delia automatically entwined her arm with the muse's once again. "I'm sooooo happy you're coming with us!" A giddy giggle escaped the dark girl as she gave Pasha's arm a light squeezing hug. "Whose Zavier?" She purposely asked for the latter hoping it would bypass any uncomfortable gushing about Lucia even though she was curious as to who Sevvie was as well.
Meanwhile, Ebony quietly opened the glass doors to usher the two floating femmes outside and onto their next destination. She couldn't suppress the very pleased smile that kept painting itself across her face. It tickled her just so that Cordelia had made a new friend. Good fortune was smiling upon them now and she prayed it would for a time longer than just today.
