Bella attends her classes with faultless punctuality, every time. She sits in the second or third row on an aisle in the middle section of seats, in the classes that take place in big auditorium lecture halls like the main section of Bio; she's willing to put herself closer to the professors in smaller classes like OS and of course her flute chair (third; she hasn't been quite ridiculously showoffy enough to climb beyond yet) is assigned. But right now, she is in Bio, learning tidbits about auxin and tropisms that the textbook didn't cover fully. She's running at about one and a half speed, just enough that she can trivially listen to and process the lecture against her memory of the text while also permitting some mind-wandering. She liiiiiikes her cognitive speedup power.

Alice is in the middle of making dinner. Currently that means sitting on the kitchen counter in his lair, waiting for water to boil.

[By who?] he wonders, smiling at nothing in particular. Bella has that effect on him.

"I think I'd want to know what his dresses are like first," says Bridget. "No offense, but I expect your opinion to be biased."

"I could show you the one he made me," says Janine, "but it is not really representative."

"...I like," says Bridget, quite sincerely.

Janine gets out her own example, of which Bridget also voices approval.

"What kind of commissions does he take? What's his price range? Not too exorbitant, I hope."

"It definitely needs to be machine washable," says Bridget. "I am not a dry cleaning person."

"I can tell," Janine dares to comment. Bridget grins at her.
