The silence over the woman was stifling when Madame Talamh asked Meagan to redo the numbers and they were all grateful for Own when he broke it with his less then intuitive input into their conversation. Tori watched with amusement as the girls teased him and recalled with fondness when he had first begun working here. He had tied his own tongue more then once (and still occasionally did) so he almost felt embarrassed for Owen but he just laughed with the rest of them. It was all in good fun.<br/><br/>Miranda nodded at the order. "I was going to help Kitty do her make up this morning but she wouldn't sit still so I poked her in the eye by accident."<br/><br/>"I don't think it was an accident," Kitty muttered sullenly. She was having a bit of a rough time adjusting to the life styles of the brothel and kept forgetting not everyone was out to get her.<br/><br/>Miranda rolled her eyes, "I was just trying to help. You've got to learn sometime." She finished her soup with surprising speed and hopped off her stool, "I cant take care of the fires by myself this morning." Working since childhood with nomadic entertainers had given her an unprecedented amounts of energy and she was very much a morning person. She placed the dish off to the side and spun dancing and humming from the presence of the other girls to light the fires of the brothel, her gemed cloths jingling softly.<br/><br/>Kitty sucked her lower lip back in when scolded by Madame Talamh, for all her attitude she respected the older woman immensely and was doing her best to fit in. She nodded, "okay. Sorry. It's just so frustrating." The golden haired youth planted an elbow on the table and dropped her chin in the palm of her hand as she continued eating. "When I was in the streets I used to envy the rich girls and their corsets and pretty dresses... I never realized they were so uncomfortable," she muttered sitting back up begrudgingly. The metal boning of the corset could poke quite painfully when you didn't sit properly.<br/><br/>Tori laughed, "honestly I don't think anyone fully appreciates the hell you woman go through to look so stunning every day."<br/><br/>Kitty sat a little straighter and smiled at the compliment a little blush darkened her cheeks. Kitty turned her gaze to Meaghan afterwards, "um. Meaghan. I was wondering if you could read me one of those books you have one time after curfew..." She had been itching to ask since she first noticed the books but had been to uncertain and jealous up until now to ask.
