Dear Eridanus.

I know it's late.

I kind of need help whenever you are available during the day.

Dearest Annie,

Simply tell me when and where, and I will make room in my schedule to attend to you.

With love,
Eridanus

Maybe the same place you got that wonderful dress?

I sort of went murder happy last week. Like really over the top. I was just so angry and murder fueled that I sort of ruined most of my wardrobe.

I need clothing similar to that dress. Plus I suspect we'll see snow soon so it would be good if I had some warmer clothing that fits properly. I'd rather not go shopping alone.

I would be happy to.
Apparently they are called "department" stores, rather than tailors. Some odd human culture, perhaps.

Does later today work for you — after reasonably getting some rest?

[He's low key asking why Annie always messages him so late at night when neither of them are really nocturnal (nevermind he's always up then, anyways. Woo-hoo insomnia!)]

You haven't tried out the boutiques? They also do pretty well for clothing.

Of course. I'm glad I thought to reach out while I was still awake. The fireplace has pretty much help knock me out. Normally I just don't sleep a lot.

We can visit both if you like.
What time would you like to meet?

And you are not alone in your sleep troubles, I too have difficulty sleeping.

I've had good luck with the boutiques. I often have to request some tailoring that smaller places are more set up for.

But I do miss a good department store. They have a bigger selection usually.

Hm, there's also a holiday coming up this week. It's a cultural one. It usually just involves hosting a dinner party for family. I think I should invite you and Lucius over for that one.

[ Thanksgiving is a thing she sort of misses already. Besides she has a feeling if she tries hosting Christmas next month Eridanus may try to turn it into Yuel. ]

Luckily it seems tailors are clustered near one another, so we can visit both if you so desire — but first you must let me know what time you are available, sweet Annie.

And you humans have a holiday for everything, don't you?
I'll never turn away your homecooking, I'd be happy to come spend time with you.

Wednesday afternoon would be best. Does that work for you?

Ha. We probably do. This one is more cultural. It celebrates the survival of a group of colonists in a very unfamiliar and unforgiving land when the locals started offering them aide.

Wednesday it is.

And, I see.
I suppose it is a celebration when you are able to successfully invade and enslave those lesser than you. Sel'eniel was braced for expansion herself, once upon a time.

So you celebrate with a feast, then?
