Carmen listened to Lily carefully as she responded. [i]Never?[/i] She sort of understood, having never done a lot of human things including romance, but still...[i]never?[/i] She almost felt sorry for the girl, who was apparently in desperate need of a confidence boost via carefully selected fashion that Carmen was only too happy to provide. [b]"Well, you'd better get used to it,"[/b] she smiled. [b]"If we're going to be roommates, we're going to have fashion adventures. It's just science."[/b] This was about the limit of Carmen's understanding of science.

Standing up, she walked over to her closet that had to have been the Athalia equivalent of the Narnia wardrobe to hold all of Carmen's clothes.

She placed them on the bed and sampled them over herself one by one, looking at Lily with a distinctly runway model expression. [b]"So, which one will it be, Madame?"[/b] she asked, clearly enjoying herself. [b]"I am at your disposal."[/b]
