She sighed
"It was rather nice actually...not that you really care."
Pearl, the bratty oldest sister
She sighed a little, grateful for Peony bailing her out-despite how her words sounded, Peony had always been kind to her-and was great at appeasing her mother and sister. Without her and Iko, Cinder didn't know what she'd do. She dashed Peony a small, grateful smile
Adri: "Why are you back early."
"The market shut down-it's all over the news-"
Adri: "I see."
"So I'll just get changed and then we can start on my fitting?-"
Adri: "Did you replace the magbelt on the hovercar yet?"
She froze up
"They're too expensive!! If you would just supply me with some money instead of having all of my wages at the shop go directly into your bank account-"
Adri: sighing as if Cinder were a stupid, niave girl "Oh Cinder, we don't have enough money for your magbelt AND your dress-you'll just have to get creative, won't you~?"
"...But if I find the magbelt-a-and manage to find a cheap enough dress-you'll let me go...?"
Adri:"...Yes Cinder. If you somehow manage to do those things, I'll let you go."
A small orange light flickered on in the corner of Cinder's vision. She'd seen it many times before-it meant someone was lying.
