Blinking in surprise Alice gave the supposed vampire a apologetic look. Her tiredness mixed with the strain she had been placed under was making her more forgetful than usual. "I've lost my suitcase." The raven haired tailor gave a forlorn sigh. She knew exactly where each pin and needle was in this 'haystack'. Even her fabrics were sorted in their chaotic order. Yet when it came to finding the right average item- be that a phone, suitcase or vase= She would completely walk by it without notice. Couple that with the distractions of work and the dratted tree she needed to take down. It was rather embarrassing. "I usually know exactly where everything is. It's probably the lack of sleep." She waved off her little quirk with the truth. A truth twisted to a lie.

How often did her own family do such? Though her parents had married, it hadn't been for love or affection. Business partnership that neither could afford to lose and both wanted the best for their heir. Unfortunately that hadn't turned out to be her, something Alice was slightly thankful for. It gave her a chance to live a normal life. Something under valued in this day and age.

Moving from her tree, she pulled a large hanging bag. It protected her project during her travel. Laying it on the couch, where Sasha got up. She began fulling it with the carefully made dresses. Each a specific theme and stlye. One was a long evening gown reflecting the night sky. Pins holding the form together. Another was small, the size of a child and fairy styled with a breeziness to it. Several others when in as well. Alice moving from the bag to a counter where a large sketch book sat with the different dresses sketched out, and then to collect what was needed. 

"I don't suppose you could help look, instead of sitting about? Didn't you say we-" Alice stiffled a yawn. "-had to be on our way? I can call from my car. They won't refuse." She gave a Cheshire cat's smirk, "Shop space is expensive after all."
