"We're very thankful for your kind hospitality," Kate said after a moment's pause. The reservations she had about the strange trio were overshadowed by the desire to sit and the tempting smells from their cooking pot. She followed her sister's example in removing her heavy furs, a slight shiver stealing over her body due to her sweating skin. Hanging her coat next to Kitty's she noticed the metal of the hook she used was somewhat tarnished with age, while the one remaining was speckled with rust. Lifting Kitty's hat, she placed it with her sister's coat and followed over to the table.<br/><br/>Her own dress, while brighter in colour of gentle green, was a more conservative cut than that of her twin's. Her long sleeves reached down to her bare wrists and the hemline cut off at her ankles, obscuring the tops of her boots. Her damp body and the former pressure of her coat caused the light material to closely follow the curves of her body, which mirrored her sister's nearly as much as their faces did. She adjusted her remaining outfit as she sat to cross her legs at the knee, giving Kitty a sidelong glance.<br/><br/>"Ah, the sweet colour of spring!" the youngest declared in jubilation, with a sudden movement under the shared garment as though she'd clapped her hands together. "Pretty shades made up for older tastes. Yes, I much preferred the trendsetter who could while away the night with dance."<br/><br/>"There's nothing to dance for now," retorted the middle woman. "Nothing... and no one to do it with neither." She shook her head as though in sadness.<br/><br/>"Maybe I danced with her," the girl looked slyly in Kitty's direction. This drew an angry snort from under the cowl, but she pressed on. "There were no sin in that, two maidens who frolicked together in fun."<br/><br/>"They won't stay for nonsense," muttered the third woman, her voice clearly the one which had carried from beyond the house to the sister's ears. Despite her obvious age, she spoke with an overpowering strength. "If they know what's good for them, they'll eat and they'll go."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
