Aelison grinned,"Alright, we can do just that." She carefully put the dress on, looked at herself. "Doesn't look too bad really", running her hands down the front and the waistline,"and I can breath..."
She turned to Violet,"Well?"

"I think it suits you better than the blue." She thought for a moment then picked a flower from her vase, a deep red rose. "Wear this in your hair. And perhaps we could cinch your waist in with a sash."

After tucking the beautiful rose into her hair, she looked at the sash and shook her head,"I won't need that, I actually like this dress as well."

"Good. We#'ll have a suggestion for the seamstress when the time comes." Violet looked her cousin over, thinking. "Remember what I said about taking small steps. Now, about your feet." She looked down at Aelison's feet to assess what kind of shoes she was wearing.

"Yes", she responded, then kind of tapped her feet with the mud covered leather hunting boots. "What? No good", she jokingly said,"I think they go marvelous with this dress." She cracked a silly child's smile in amusement.

Violet rolled her eyes. "No you need pretty ladies' slippers. But I think my feet are smaller than yours." She sighed. "I should have thought of that. Shoes that pinch are no fun at all." After a moment's thought she added "Do you have any shoes that aren't covered in mud? Perhaps the shoes you wear to the sept."

"Yeah, I do and.... Since I already knew you would be dissatisfied", she showed Violet her boots. "I brought these." They looked damn near brand new, which was good since Aelison hadn't been to the Sept in a very long time.

"May I?" Violet looked over the boots to see whether they were an appropriate style and colour to go with the dress.

Aelison handed them to her,"Sure take a look. They should be fit to wear with a dress, that's why I haven't had them on in..... Forever."

"Oh." Violet examined the boots from every angle. "They'll do," she finally admitted. "Put them on and let's have a look in the mirror."

The boots felt fine as she slipped them on and laced them. She stood up and looked at Violet,"Looks fine to me."

Violet nodded her approval. "Yes, you look presentable. Just be careful how you speak in company and you'll do very well. Remember, tonight you're a lady, not a kennel mistress."

She made a grimace, then sighed,"Alright... So should it be My Lord or M'Llord then when I'm talking to them?"
"I don't want to be rude", she continued sarcastically, smoothing out the dress once more with a small smile. "If they stay away from hound or dog jokes, we should be alright."

"I'm sure everyone will behave properly," Violet answered, praying that it was so. "But be sure to say my lord, because that's how a lady speaks. They won't forget where we came from, but we can show them that we can play the game, and that we are their equal in all but ancestry."

All of this posturing, Aelison thought, why not just put me on display in my small clothes in the main hall. Might be easier, she thought.
"Alright", she answered. "So where do go first or are we still pruning me?"
