Shimmer and shine

Powder, Jinx, or Mouser?

Jinx's eyes grew wide at the second closet.

"you'll want things from over here."

She blinked at the masses of white silver and pale blue fabrics. "they're beautiful..." she breathes and hesitantly reaches out to touch the silk of one of the robes.

"They're Demacian in colouring and style. Less buckles and harsh straps. More... graceful and elegant."

Jinx nodded uncertainly as she looked through the options, there were a lot of silks, sheer organza's, soft laces and white furs.

"what if I ruin it?" she asks a little fearful, "they look expensive."

Mira shrugged, "Accidents happen, as long as you're being reasonably careful with the items you'll be fine." She offered. "you're probably more likely to have a client spill alcohol on you. But at the end of the night those damages get charged to them."

Jinx nodded and turned back to the collection. Running her hands over a set of white ruffles with blue ribbons similar in colour to the set she'd put on earlier.

"It's cute right?" Mira asked, pulling it out. "It would suit you." She pushed it into her arms and reached up to fetch a sheer frosty blue cape.

"do I have to change again?" Jinx asked running her fingers over the silky ruffles.

"That's up to you on if you want to try working tonight and making some money or not." Mira answered with a shrug.

Jinx's eyes passed down to the pile in her hands. It was just entertaining a few people, and she needed the money to buy some scraps to work with...

"I'll be waiting outside for you."

Jinx nodded to the other hostess and moved to set the pile of frills down. The outfit felt far more over the top than her current one did but she changed anyway. Getting lost in the ruffles on occasion before finally managing to secure the last hook of the waist piece. Then the single clasp at her throat for the cloak piece.

The ruffles made her feel like a child again, not helped by her young face. The numerous frills reminded her of the frilly, lace heavy dresses she'd been forced into by Cassandra. It made her perse her lips in annoyance at her own reflection, but she shook her annoyance at the overly flouncy material and made her way to the door. This was one night, there were many other options in this place that hopefully she'd never have to wear it twice.

But she wasn't willing to reject something that Mira had put in her hands. Not after all the woman's help.

She may want to burn piltover down for their betrayal, but she wasn't cruel enough not to appreciate help when it's offered to her.

Jinx opened the door and was met by Mira on the other side. "ready for your first night shift?" she asked with a grin.

Jinx scoffed, "I've faced worse." She tried to joke and Mira did laugh, but this time it was one of disbelief as she responded.

"We'll see."

"It's just through here."

Caitlyn scowled, "You know, I'm starting to think you're just luring me into some dark, dirty corner of these sewers to kill me."

Vi scoffed, rolling her eyes as she kept moving, "If I wanted you dead cupcake, I would have done so at some point in our journey."

"I didn't realise the undercity was so big." Caitlyn said, slightly winded after they'd spent several hours running, jumping and climbing through the city.

Her company laughed, "it's not."

"What?"

"I just needed to get you lost so you couldn't find your way back here without help." Vi said, tapping at a wall.
