Carmen smiled at Lily's apology. [b]"Oh, [i]relax[/i], it's hardly your fault,"[/b] she replied. [b]"I picked the dress, after all."[/b] Yet, Lily still made an effort to change for the dress, and the much whiter wings were a big improvement matching-wise. [b]"That'll do fine,"[/b] she reviewed, smiling. [b]"We'll just have to be cognizant of your wings the next time we dress you up, hmm?"[/b] she said, fluttering her wings a little. It was nice to be off the ground for the first time in a while, though she wondered what the spectacle of a big gaseous bird giving fashion opinions was like.

Turning to see the same guy that Lily had dragged with her to the shooting range earlier, she smiled at him. Its visibility was probably negligible at best in her bird form, but she had never talked to him to her recollection (or even knew his name) so she hardly had much to say.

Turning back to Lily, she said [b]"I'm ready when you are,"[/b] eager to stretch her wings.
