When;  23rd of April, Midday
Rating; PG-13, If anything, for Rosette's mouth
Characters;  Rosette Christopher|| bound_by_time, Mary Magdelene|| lostmytruth, Chrno|| tenmorehours
Summary; The fateful meeting of past and present contractors, and the downfalls of poofy dresses. I.e. In which Chrno gets a massive headache.
Log; She couldn't believe she was actually letting him drag her out to do this. 

She had been nervous enough without being dressed like some overstuffed porcelain doll, and of course the meeting had to happen when she was in such a ridiculous state. And could barely walk. With how Father Remington talked about the Great Mary Magdalene, the girl was probably some amazing goddess of grace and beauty and all that jazz. And here she was, some orphan girl who's greatest skill was burping the ABCs backwards.

She grumbled something incoherent as they walked through the Opera House, stomping her feet as she walked, a great amount of the dress hauled up into her arms so she could step. “I swear, of all the days you two choose...”

Chrono gritted his teeth. He had been steadily losing his patience with her for most of the day, and at this point he'd had enough. If she really felt that way, then he didn't particularly feel like dealing with her at the moment. "Fine! You're overreacting over the dress, but if you're going to behave like this I don't really want you around right now, anyway!"

He pulled away his hand and turned around, walking back towards Mary.

The harshness of the words surprised her, though getting involved in their conflict was little business of hers. Nonetheless, she walks towards Chrono, placed a hand on his shoulder and gave it a tiny squeeze. The look she gave him was laced with regret, but also understanding.

Then, she looked at Rosette.

"You may not have wanted to meet me, but I was very eager to meet Chrono's contractor. He speaks very fondly of you." Gingerly, she tucked a lock of hair back behind an ear. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Miss Rosette, but if my being here is causing this conflict, then I think I'll take my leave."

Oh great, now Miss Perfect was defending her! She gritted her teeth, her shoulders bunching as she took a small breath in.

"No. You're not causing any problems." She said in a low tone, her back to the both of them, before she slowly turned around, offering them both a smile. "I'll stay." It was so forced, but she tried to make it seem as real as possible, and she slowly forced herself to meet with them again, her fists tight at her sides.

If Chrno really needed this....She'd try and be civil.

Chrono glanced up at Mary, about to protest, when Rosette spoke up. He turned to look at her and was surprised when she smiled at him. That was a quick turnaround...

It wasn't hard for Chrono to tell it was faked...but she was making an effort, so he didn't point it out. Instead, he smiled back. "Thank you."

Her slight resignation noted, Mary's smile returned and she tilted her head a bit to glance down at Chrono thoughtfully. Rosette was every bit the person she had imagined her to be, at least with the description he had given her.

"Ah, I'm glad!" The picture Joshua had painted was just as accurate.
