"Of course I'm..." Lenore took a deep breath and turned her nose up at James. Instead she pulled a box out from under the counter and looked inside, pulling out two threads in pink and bright blue. Definately not enough, and far from neutral.
"This is all I have Ifalna, and they've been infused with various plant materials. So I'm really not sure how that would affect your needs." She sighed handing them over. "Like I said, Mortimer will make you some if you have the herbs you want him to eat, do you have them with you?"
Normally she did. But back to Madeline.
"Alright then, what do we want today ma'am?"

Madeline listened as a man spoke to Lenore, obviously he thought a lot of himself. Well... She supposed he was pretty handsome. Returning the man's look, she grinned her frightening grin -the one that left no doubt about what she was- directly at him, before returning to Lenore. "I would like a dress please, out of this cloth." She pushed the purple cloth towards her, once again wondering at how the light shining on it resembled waves. "You are by far much better at your trade than the old man that owned it before." It was true. The dresses that the original tailor had made were sometimes scratchy and, although he was good for a human, he just couldn't compete with Lenore.

Ifanla smiled. "Of course I have it. I'll just go give it to him now. Is he awake?" She said walking over to the little worm anyway and prodding him gently. "Mortimer, I have something for you."She said tauntingly. She waited several minutes while Mortimer took his time waking up. in the mean time Ifalna watched Lenore work on the man and the woman in the shop. She really found the new man in town to be very attractive. If only she could have someone that meant as much to her as Jaylorias had.

Dante walked into the village and, decided to go to the bakery. He got some pastries, then went to a bench, and sat down to enjoy them. He ate one pastry, with a smile. Then he ate another pastry with a wide grin. Before he knew it he had eaten the whole bag. "Well time to get more." He said, as he got up and walked back to the bakery
((OCC: Its kind of hard to make your post a paragraph when your character is not in the story.... stare ))

"Thank you very much," Lenore blushed. "You know, that purple looks very nice."
Taking the bolt of fabric from off the counter carrying it over to the sewing table she ushered Madeline to stand on the measuring stool. the woman didn't change shape and hadn't in a few years, so measurements would be needed. Quietly, she told Madeline to wait while she got out the changeing screen, someting that had been sent her away a few years ago. As she picked up the awkwardly shaped object and carried it over to her customer, she wondered how Iflana could feed and touch her bugs when no one else could.
"So, the screen is all set up if you don't mind undressing while I cut the peices?" Lenore walked up to where James was standing and tried not to blush as she reached around him for her scissors.

James grabbed the scissors before she could hand held them out for her. "May I help, I'm afraid I will be hopelessly bored if I must go home alone." He smirked down at her, and his handsome face seemed sincere ant trustworthy. "This sounds, interesting." He started to unbutton his vest, and slipped it off carefully, not wanting to ruin it while helping. He brushed off the front of his shirt and scrunched up his long white sleeves. He was not going to take no for an answer.

((Longer posts Dragon, just scrunch up his actions in one paragraph and what he says in another. Sorry if I'm being crazy.))
Lenore's face was going to burn off in embarassment, she just knew it. The perfectly shaped vampire was undressing bhind her, This man was far too close and he'd just taken off his jacket (she could smell his magic), and her friend kept hinting at romance and love. Not to mention she was starving! And sh'd probably have to take this new guy hunting with her later if he was new, be a courteous hostess and show him... urgh!
Her shaky hand took her scissors and she turned around quickly, flitting over to her sewing table and unfurling a few yards of fabric. The deep purple silk made a slight breeze, but it didn't hurt anything. picking up her pin cushion she held it out to James and jiggled it a bit.
"Well? you said you wanted to help, take this and watch," she grabbed a peice of dress maker's chalk and som plain linen peices she kept precut for Madeline. "Ma'am would you mind horribly if he assisted me?"

James stretched his slightly muscular arms over his head and yawned. Then he walked heel toe over to her, his expensive leather shoes making a clicking sound on the polished wood florring, and plucked the pin cushion from her hand. He glanced at the purple shimmery fabric and chuckled it was very pretty, but much to feminine for his tastes. He would have chosen something with more structure for her small frame.
"Watch? I feel so very helpful watching" He winked at the Vampire. "Don't worry My Lady, I'm very good at watching." He smiled very much amused
He put his hand down on the violet cloth and tried to imagine how it had been made but the only clear explanation was magic. He looked up at Lenore an inquisitive look on his face.
"How, may I ask do you get this effect?" He knew that he was being a bother, but he did not really care. He was not that considerate about how he affected others.

Lenore stepped up to the vampire with the peices for a sleeve and several pins. Pinning the fabric to her arm in the appropriate style for the times, she listened to James and thought about the question. She'd worked long enough in this place to be able to sew blind folded. Not that she would, she liked to see and she didn't like to invoke that much magic at once. It tended to maeke her mean.
Lenore wasn't entirely sure how the fabric turned out so nice, but she was fairly certain that it had to do with the makers and what they ate.
"I go into my garden in the woods, several of the plants are used for medicial purposes and for some of my cloth. I ask permission, bring some back, and my little friends eat." Stepping back she looked Madeline with another question.
"There's a new style of gown avaliable from the city. Known as A la'Englaise, unlike what you've been wearing this lack the cape-like fabric at the back and is much more flattering. Would you prefer this style or prefer the same as we've been doing?"

Mortimer having been fed his silk providers so she called them, Ifalna got ready to receive her silks. She sat patiently over by the main desk and just watched the two Fae go at it. It seemed that he was a curious one, and Lenore didn't really have time for that. But she seemed to be right that this new man wanted to romantically indulge with Lenore. She pulled out of her cloak a small paper, and a vial full of powder.
Taking the paper, she wrote down on it some words and placed them in an envelope she found on Lenore's desk top. "I'm telling you it will happen dear friend. He's been looking at you like a swine does slop. He's Fae, you're Fae. It just will work out in the end. Heed my words darling."
She set the envelope on the desk and went back to Mortimer, and took the silk so lovingly waiting.

Madeline smiled as the man yet again interrupted Lenore's work. Undressing slowly, she watched as the seamstress measured the length of several body parts. She knew there would be no change since the last measurement. It's actually kind of depressing... To remain in the same body for eternity. Although she was quite proud of her looks, Madeline had always wanted to age, even if it was only enough for her to truly be an adult. How ironic... Many woman would trade everything and their left hand for what I have, and yet, I feel discontent. It ended up being Lenore that took Madeline out of her reminiscing, she had asked for Madeline to lift up her arm. Sighing as she complied, she decided not to think about it right now. It just would not do to appear self-conflicted in public.
Looking at Lenore as she asked yet another question, Madeline thought about which dress she would rather have. "The new one, please." Smiling slightly, she added, "And thank you for allowing me in your store. I've kept my record clean and yet some of the other shop owners won't even look at me."

"Oh bah and pah," Lenore scoffed. "They're just human, can't really expect much from them really. Granted they can be quite fun!"
Lenore set to work pining the fabric to Madeline's body in the new fashion, close to the torso, tight and accentuating every line and angle. Carefully, she handed the pieces to James and went over to her desk to take out some lace trim and various buttons and baubles. The lace was in black and white, at least a half foot wide and insanely intricate, matching lace for the collar was there as well. Holding them up the Madeline, Lenore smiled wide and thought about how much she loved making pretty things.
