Topic: A Gala Request

She poked her head around the corner of the doorway. Of course, any plans she had to be circumspect in her request for assistance was lost when she was presented with all the wonder that was the perfumerie. Why oh why hadn't she visited here before?

She wandered around aimlessly, talking to herself about all the assorted wonders as she forgot her initial purpose in her visit. She'd hoped to ask Elessaria to offer a door prize and perhaps even join the Date Auction in her upcoming Gala Event.

But now she might just be content with a perfume all her own.

Elessaria had heard the gentle tinkling of the bell that signaled someone's entrance to the main salon of Heart Notes. Wiping her hands on a clean towel, she silently stepped from the back room, enjoying watching Fiora's expression as she explored the shoppe. The empath loved the magical effect it seemed to have upon those during their initial visit to the impeccably decorated and designed parfumerie. When she finally caught the lovely realtor's attention, Eless beamed a smile to her friend. "Fiora, lass! Welcome to Heart Notes! What may I do for thee?"

For an Empath, Fiora was like an overdose of sugared confection. She FELT everything and she FELT it LOUD.

She was in total overload of glee at the gorgeous little shop. Taking time out of her busy schedule to actually visit her friends' place was turning out to be a treasure hunt of epic proportions.

"Elesssaaarriaaaa." She breathed, wide cerulean eyes filled with awe, "this place is as perfect as you are!"

Still a little shellshocked she took another breath before remembering why she as there. She handed over the Flyer detailing the event and turned wide eyes back to all the little details of something so perfect, "I was thinkin ye could agree to giving away a designer perfume but I'm afraid I'd totally rig the entire thing without even a modicum of despair so that I could win it, unless I buy one for myself right now."

"Yes." Deciding with the abrupt whirlwind decision making that she was infamous for, "I need a perfume by Elessaria. And then I need ye to give away a door prize for the Gala event to showcase yer business. And then I'm gonna have to ask for the chance to auction a date with ye away. I mean the sexiest woman of RhyDin oughtta raise a ton of money, yea?"

Chuckling, she took the flyer and skimmed it quickly in order to give Fiora a few more moments to settle. Not that that would happen, still she had to give her the chance. "I would love to donate a custom scent for this Gala, m'friend. Why dost thou nay join me for a cup of tea and we can discuss a signature scent for thyself too?" The empath had purposefully not answered the dynamic woman's last question. Even though it was for a charitable cause, she just was not certain she could do it.

She was fiercely frenetic and frighteningly chipper but she wasn't oblivious and she settled down to tea (dumping a ton of sugar in it) to discuss both her scent and the upcoming Gala. Babbling away the particulars she explained even the Date Auction portion of the event but only as a sidenote, much more willing to talk about the effect she hoped this kind of publicity would have on some of the smaller businesses. For all of her flighty personality, Fiora was a businesswoman who didn't understand why some people felt that they had to leave work behind to have fun.

Somehow she doubted that was something she'd have to explain to Elessaria, the perfect perfumerie was obviously a source of great pleasure for the elfess and Fiora considered this journey a success just to have experienced it.

Eless did not mind her friend's effervescent enthusiasm in the least. In fact, it energized the empath. She served tea at a little table on the outskirts of the main salon which she served in delicate porcelain cups along with an assortment of freshly baked pastries arranged artfully on a small, cut crystal tray. She listened attentively to the details of the project and agreed wholeheartedly. Not all small business owners were as lucky as she was when it came to starting her parfumerie, and the elfess wished to support others in attaining their dreams. She had created a profession out of something she loved to do — it was far from just a job.

When Fiora finished explaining the particulars of the Gala and she had agreed to provide a custom fragrance for one of the door prizes, the parfumeuse gently turned the conversation. "Tell me, Fiora, lass. What are some of thy favorite smells" Doth any in particular hold a special memory for thee?" She sipped and then winked, mischief flaring to life in her eyes of blue flame. "And just what sort of emotions dost thou wish to evoke with thy personal fragrance?"

She had to think about it. Favorite smells? Could she say sandwich' But who really wants to walk around smelling like a sandwich' It would be undeniably hot, but it could get her followed by dogs.

Of course while thinking this her expressive face was a kaleidoscope of activity.

Okay so nix the sandwiches, what other smells did she like, "Chocolate..." She hmmmed. "Sugar cookies." She knew better than to tell the wonderful Elessaria 'flowers' but well, that was really about the extent of her knowledge, oh wait!

And then she remembered the exotic dessert flower that bloomed at home and its particularly attractive scent. "Oh a Lotus!"

She shrugged a shoulder, "I'm really not very good at this, Elessaria, I mean it all smells good."

But the last question she could answer, "I want to smell FUN!"
