 ❝It’s an admirable quality. When I get nervous I just end up making a mess of…well, everything.❞

  “I understand how that happens. It’s all too easy to be overwhelmed by the prospect of what actually has to be done.”

traumeriin:

  ❝You’re sweet.❞ Then again, they always are. She cannot recall a single time Saima has been unpleasant. ❝I can’t really picture you scrambling though. You just seem so…poise.❞ 

  “Aw, thanks. I certainly try to be.” Saima chuckles a little bit. “Trust me, I’ve done my fair share of scrambling to survive. Poise comes with practice honestly.”

   Rosemary laughs as she shakes her head. ❝Oh, I don’t know if I’m on top of things…I’m kind of scrambling to get things done.❞

 ❝Definitely. If it was more socially acceptable, I wouldn’t mind wearing a crown myself.❞

   “Right. I mean I’ve seen some tiara-like things which make for nice accessories. But hey maybe you can wear an outfit that involves a crown for the occasion.”

traumeriin:

  ❝For sure! I just think the lil’ pajamas are so cute. The crown is his favorite part.❞

   “They are pretty cute. Heh, I’m not surprised. Something about a crown adds a little something to an outfit.”

traumeriin:

 ❝Dahlia is going to be a bat, and Aristotle is going to be Max from Where The Wild Things Are. Have you heard of that book?❞

   “Cute. And yeah, I have heard of that book. So that’s a fun character for him to dress as.”

traumeriin:

   ❝That sounds pretty neat! I haven’t planned mine yet to be honest…I’ve got the kids’ costumes though.❞

  “It should be pretty cool. Ah, I see – what are the kids going to be?”
