Airships: Irksome Dealings

Vespertine grinned, “Now, miss, away with your clothes so I may put my masterpiece on you.”

Elletra resisted the urge reach for her knives and attack the man. “I can put it on myself.”

Vespertine merely lifted an eyebrow at Hawkeye. “A shy one, she is.”

She is not going to undress in the presence of two men.” Elletra narrowed her eyes at the both of them.

“We are on a bit of schedule, Vespertine. Enough of your games please.” Hawkeye said with a grin that didn’t quite cover his serious tone.

“Fine. Charlotte Timmins will help you. Baron, will you be so kind as to join me for a drink?” Vespertine asked shoving a heavy metal door aside.

The men left and before Elletra could ask who Charlotte was, a small girl came bouncing in across the room with a wide smile. “Good evenin’, my lady. I’ll help ya into tha gown.”

Elletra couldn’t help but smile at the energetic child and quickly changed into the dress.
