Who: Cora and Lilah What: More random encounters Where: Bathos When: Late morning-ish Warnings: None
Lilah was actually quite looking forward to Mr. Brandon's charity ball, and had immediately gone out and picked up a dress once she received the invitation. It was a perfect way to scope out the other Creations and do a little retcon work, and no one would be the wiser. Besides, the presence of alcohol would greatly help her endeavors - it had a tendency to loosen tongues, which was just what she wanted. It hadn't easy to get the night off work, but Lilah was nothing if she wasn't persuasive - and in the end, she got her way.
The shoes she'd wanted had needed to be ordered and had just come in this morning, so she rushed out to pick them up so the rest of her day would be clear. Stopping off at Starbucks on the way back and dealing with a long line, she finally got back to Bathos - albeit an hour later than she would have liked. Since the elevator was taking too long for her current level of patience, she rolled her eyes and headed for the stairs instead, pulling her bag higher on her shoulder as she balanced her coffee in one hand. A couple flights up, she rounded a corner too sharply and nearly collided into someone, just managing to save her beloved latte from falling.
For a moment she ground her teeth together furiously, prepared for an annoyed retort along the lines of watch where you're going, but she caught herself just in time and forced herself to smile. "Oh, I'm sorry. Are you alright?"
