The day of the art gallery was hectic from the moment Lavinia woke up. Rex decided five am was a perfectly normal time to barge into her apartment and proceed to rip the covers off her. Damn the person who gave him the spare keys. He shoved her half asleep ass to the shower making sure it was ice cold which only caused a screaming match that Lavinia quickly won by punching him in the gut cursing him for getting her clothes soaked. Taking her time in the now hot shower she ignored Rex nagging for her to hurry up. By six they made their way to the gallery for some more last minute changes and review. At the end of it Lavinia was already exhausted.
"Alright so the remainder of gallery will be put on display by the staff do you want to double check the paintings?" Rex asked looking up from his clip board. Lavinia shook her head.
"I just wanna go home." She groaned rubbing her temples. Rex nodded checking his watch seeing it was noon.
"Alright I'll take you home the gallery starts at seven so take a nap and be ready by five for pick up as you will need to be here by six." he hands the clip board to his assistant leading the way to his vehicle. Lavinia plops into the passenger seat leaning her head against the cold window. "I assume you have your outfit ready for tonight and you took my advice about wearing something moderately refined such as the dress I suggested." Rex glanced at her expectantly hoping she actually listened to him. Lavinia scrunched her nose in disgust at the thought of another dress but just nodded as he glanced at her again. Rex beamed as his eyes returned to the road happy she took his advice.

Once home Lavinia plopped on her bed quickly falling asleep leaving Rex to set her alarm before leaving. She slept soundly until three when her alarm went off. Lavinia quickly turned it off stretching and made her way to the bathroom. She quickly washed up and went to her closet scrubbing her damp hair with a towel. Her selected suit for the evening was black fitted jacket with a white dress shirt and red neck tie. She had originally had it tailored specifically to her liking but now she was not so sure. Lavinia frowned then finally decided she would fore go the tie and simply have the dress shirt slightly open with her mother's necklace of the goddess Ehena. The necklace had become more of a good luck charm over the years rather then a religious symbol. Once ready she checked her phone seeing it was already four-fifty. With one last check in the mirror she took in a big breath letting it out slowly nodding at her reflection.
"Show time girly let's show these people how badass we are!" She grabbed her phone and keys and headed out the door already hearing Rex blaring his horn.

*Note: This is Lavinia's outfit but with a necklace.*

Compared to her first art gallery things were far more organized and by the time Seven was approaching everything was ready. The only minor inconvenience was Rex's fit over Lavinia's outfit he had wanted her to wear a dress but after thirty torturous minutes of his assistant pointing out that Lavinia's outfit was way better then what she wore to past galleries he conceded.
"Fine but I will get you in a dress one day mark my word," he points at Lavinia before sighing rubbing a hand over his face, "and then your uncle can finally stop bugging me for it every damn time you make a public appearance!" Lavinia snorted finally understanding his dilemma. She patted his shoulder in pity.
"Fat chance Rexy poo if you are ever able to actually accomplish that he will just want more." Rex glares at her shoving her hand away stomping off while shouting over his shoulder.
"We open in ten people get to your places AND LAVINIA!" She raises an eyebrow crossing her arms expecting some type of smartass remark. He stops for a moment and grins. "Please at least try to behave keep your teeth to yourself this time." She rolled her eyes snapping her teeth at the air showing off her fangs slightly. His assistant chuckled following Rex as everyone prepared for the guests.
