True to his word, Esme and Djali were gone in the morning, leaving behind the scent of spices and linen and a waist scarf that he had left for Reine as a promise for his return.
Esme having previously prepared her gown, quickly got donned her floral stays which she laced the shoulder straps and front specially with sage green ribbon for the event, next came her brown short gown over her petticoat and off the shoulder under-gown which split in the middle revealing a lacey fabric that Rein had taken upon herself to sew. Lastly came her belt which small leather containers were hung off serving as small space to hold coins and little trinkets of the sort and Esme's scarf, which hung loosely off her waist. Reine rushed down to the shop, frantically did her chores for the day, grabbed a baguette and some cheese, and ran out into the street shouting a brief goodbye to her parents. The woman checked her small pocket watch as she waited near the entrance, she had arrived early but stood vigilant as she watched for the familiar figure of her friend. Suddenly something tugged on the back of her skirt, causing her to whip around only to find the hunched figure of Quasi concealed in a cloak.
"I started to think you had abandoned me," Reine teased lightly. Eliciting a grunt of protest from the man. "I'm just kidding my friend, let us begin." Reine exclaimed dragging the dazed hunchback through the crowd.
