"Now I'll leave you to get dressed"

And she does...

And yes, hair and jewelry to cnsider

The outfits fits to a T

Thistle mayyy spend a while primping in front of the mirror.

Thanks to Sylvi's channel, she even has tips on make up!

She prefers an edgier look - bold eyeliner, bright colors, spirals on her cheeks and arms...

Neon Goth!

Maybe

Anyway, soon she's rocking the look she wants.

It's a shame Art is elsewhere, learning about his House...

Indeed. He writes, and texts, but it's not the same

Because his jaw might drop to see her.

It would, even if she's got nothing against someone like the Baroness.

Her hair is conveniently flame colored, and now it is spiked.

And she does have a jewelry collection, some provided by the baroness, some of Thistle's own work... ceramic ear rings and the like

Earrings and bangles and cuffs!

She does, indeed, go all out.

The white outfit actually makes a decent back drop against the Glowing extras of hair and jewelry, like copper and brozen on marble stands out even more

Acceptable.

(It would be better in an ombre, but...)

Alas, they really should consult more nockers when they make these changeling holidays

Soon she's ready to show herself off before the Baroness.

She gives Muppet a good ear-ruffle, and checks that Fornax's nest is set up for the night.

A yawn from the nest.

Sounds like he's already asleep

Muppet wags softly

She's got this!

And when she comes out, The Baroness is there, "Let's see" She eyes the outfit and the jewelry "Okay. I love the hair"

"Told you I wouldn't bring shame to the hold."

"I didn't think you would" She says "To be fair, that's one thing you've never done. Though there were times you've caused me to take in some asprin"

A smirk and eyebrow waggle.

THAT gets a laugh

"Marigold, come in, take a look at our firebrand"

Marigold bobs in, and gushes with delight. And makes a fuss that's rather flattering.

Pink spirals, but she's smiling. "I'll be back before you have a chance to miss me. For cake!"

"Parfait, dear" the boggan corrects but smiles back "Speaking of which " And she darts off to the kitchen

And the Baroness smiles "Well, when did you want to go? Tonight, or a bit closer to the wire?"

"Tonight!"

"Spoken like a go getter" Nadeen nods approvingly

And soon, they're getting her gear, and a 'before you go meal'

(End scene, for now)
