Part 831: Brady A

Hey, Severa!

Greetings, Society Member Number Two. Are we done with today's procurement run?

Stop callin' me that! ...And yeah, all done. Still don't see why I'm always the one buyin' junk. I mean, what've you been doin' this whole time, aside from loungin' around?

I've been very busy, I'll have you know! I've been assembling everything you brought into decorations for the tent.

...See?

...Actually, that doesn't look terrible. Although it's all abit...gaudy, isn't it?

No, it isn't! It's elegant and sophisticated! We are a SOCIETY, after all. If not for the gold, silk, and lanters, it'd lack panache. We have a name to live up to! If it all happens to be a hair over the top, it will just make people all the more jealous!

A hair? This thing is a full wig shop over the top, Severa. I can barely see in here! All the gold leaf is blinding me!

Well, get over it! ...Gods, I don't see why you always have to complain.

Said the contrarian to her partner in a contrarian society! Look, I've already spent way more time and money on this than I thought I would...

Would you stop grumbling already? ...Ooh! Brady, those teacups are darling!

I didn't know you had an eye for those.

Well, you know...

Or did you just have the seller choose them for you?

Urk...

Oh, please. Don't try to deny it. I can read you like a book.

Anyway, back to sewing! It won't be long now. I know it's difficult, but try to contain your excitement. (leaves)

Stubborn as a mule, as always...

Still, if this makes her happy, I... guess I can do it.

What was that, Number Two?

I didn't say nothin'!
