Christine brushed her dark bangs off her forehead and sighed quietly before gasping for air as Nanny tied her corset strings too tight. “Nanny, I do like to, you know, breath,” she managed to bite out before gasping for another breath. She telekinetically forced the strings looser before glaring at Nanny. “Are you sure I need this damn thing?” she asked, referring to the corset.
Nanny chose not answer and helped Christine shrug on the pink silk dress that she was wearing for the party. “Pink is decidedly your color, m’lady,” Nanny said, fussing with the lay of the shoulders. She gently fastened the gold cross necklace around Christine’s neck and adjusted the thin golden tiara, making sure the amethyst gem was positioned correctly. “What do you think, Rahne?”

"Lovely," Rahne said, looking at Christine.
"She looks bonny. I think Gabby is just about going tae die of frustration..."

Christine flushed the same shade as her dress. "Oh, Rahne, I'm nervous," she said, turning to look at her sister. "What if this doesn't go according to plan?" she asked rubbing her hands together in a nervous manner.

"It will," Rahne said comfortingly.
She fiddled with a fold on the skirt of her white dress, before getting up from where she was sitting on Christine's bed.
"How should I do my hair, do ye think? Just leave it down?"

Christine smiled. "It looks nice down, maybe you should pin a white flower in it, to match the dress," she said cheerfully, trying to mask her nervousness. Her eyes darted about the room. "Do we know when Gabriel is showing?"

"Mebbe," Rahne murmured, looking at herself in the mirror.
"Probably fashionably late, as always."

Christine went back to rub her hands out of nervousness until Nanny grabbed them and held them tight. Christine blinked several times and sighed before slipping on the gloves Nanny offered her.
"Shall we go down and mingle?"

"I guess," Rahne sighed.
Feeling as eager to do so as Christine.
"Is Paige ready to act out her part?"

"Paige said she just had to be alone for a little bit as she gets into Kurt's mindset," Christine said, looking at Rahne, trying not to feel too nervous.
Carl walked in and smiled at the pair. "You won't guess who's already here?"
"Who?" Christine asked tiredly.
"Lord Gabriel Pembroke."

"And here I thought he might be late," Rahne murmured.
"Someone's making sure he doesn't go wandering anywhere, aren't they?"

"Um..." Carl started, looking back at the door, and back at the girls.
"What, Carl?" Christine asked, looking at him concerned.
"He's coming - *here*," he answered.
Three seconds later, a knock was heard.
"Who is it?" Christine called.

"What is he doing coming here? Doesn't he have any manners at all?" Rahne hissed.
She picked up a small hairslide from Christine's dressing table and slid it in over her ear, pinning that side of her hair out of her face.
"This is a lady's bedroom, after all. I would tell him to go away, Christine."

Christine nodded and walked to the door to poke her head out. "Gabriel Lucius Pembroke, what the devil do you think you're doing? I'm getting dressed," she hissed.
Gabriel bent down and captured her lips gently. "Had to see you, Angel."
Christine went three shades of crimson.

"Slap him," Rahne advised.
She picked up the simple silver necklace she was wearing and put it around her neck.
"Slap him hard."

It took a bit of time for Christine's mind to register what just happened before she slapped him, hard. "Gabriel," she hissed. "Don't even start."
