Normally, the decision of what to wear to the office was what Maranya Tatiana Valkonan, doctor and Chief of Staff at Riverview Clinic, considered a no-brainer. Were she still able to actively practice medicine, she would pull on a pair of brightly colored surgical scrubs and her knee length white labcoat, and consider herself adequately dressed. These days, due to her executive role at the Clinic, it was standard operating procedure for her to wear variations on the tailored feminine business suit, all exquisitely designed by Koy, of course.

But today wasn't an ordinary day at the office for her. Not by a long shot. Today, she had to dress to impress an office full of men for the most part; men who did not believe that she in fact existed. This made her choice of clothing that more difficult. She had promised their boss that she would dress to the nines, and that she would wear emeralds. Other than that, she was at a loss for what exactly to wear.

Sivanna had suggested something black and formfitting, so Maranya narrowed her choices down by that color and style. When she held up the first black tailored suit against herself and looked in her full length mirror, she shook her head with a frown.

"Too funereal," she murmured, and set that suit aside on the bed to be hung back up later in her closet. The second and third black business suits were summarily rejected as well.

Finally, she held the last suit up to gauge its effect in her reflection. She nodded in approval, and laid that choice out on her bed, along with the requisite coordinating silk underpinnings. The other suits were returned to her closet, and she went off to bathe.

An hour later, the faithful Ernesto helped Maranya into the carriage which would convey her to her destination.
