After weeks of agonizing about whether she was or wasn't pregnant with Akeem's baby, the relief of a definitive negative had done wonders for her. No longer was her skin stangely grey, no launger was she angular and gaunt.
Today Pippa was the picture of heath. Radiant with life and good cheer. She was dressed for shopping, a trim cut houndstooth single breasted coat with the hem of her red blouse peeking out from beneath the edge of the coat. Red leather gloves, black skin-tight leggings, and knee high black leather boots completed her look. Her hair was pinned up on each side and the luxurious weight of it tumbled down over her shoulders.
She paused as she exited Harrod's to check her phone. She had a few other places she simply must go, but for the most part she was simply shopping and finding joy in it. It had ben too long since she'd been able to empty her head and enjoy the banal.
"Oooh, I have enough stars for a free Grande. Starbucks next, it seems..."
She looked up and around, smiling at everyone around her. She desperately wanted to scream "I'M NOT PREGNANT!" to everyone, but she refrained. A smile would do.

Date: 2017-02-14 12:08 am (UTC)"Right? Thank god for that," she agreed. A piece of paper was clutched in her gloved hand. "And I'm not pregnant, so after all is said and done it was just a catastrophe, not a total tragedy."

Let's go make up stories about them," she said happily. He smile was positively radiant. Even the grey, low hanging clouds did nothing to dampen the light that shone from her.

Date: 2017-02-14 06:10 am (UTC)So, with a stack of business cards in hand, Gavril stood in one of his nicer suits, figuring he should at least look professional while handing out cards, even though he was pretty lax about his looks while behind the bar.
The cards, he was rather proud of. Black stock with a white wolf's head on the front, and the back had white lettering with the name of the pub, his name (listed as owner), and the address and phone number.
He had an idea for a promotion based on the cards, but he wasn't going to publicize it yet, probably.
When the woman who seemed to practically leap from the crowd with her brightness and liveliness approached, however, Gavril nearly forgot to smile in return to her and offer her a business card. Showing it to people with the white wolf's head on the front seemed to get peoples' curiosity, so he was hoping she'd at least take the card and give it a look-see.

Date: 2017-02-18 03:13 am (UTC)"Of course I mean now. God only knows what I'll be doing later," she laughed lightly, then took hold of his arm and jutted her chin forward. "Lead the way, garcon."
