It was early afternoon, most of the women of the house were just waking up and settling for their first meal of the day, some of the others had been up since the early hours of the morning, helping her prepare for the sales of the day. This place was her home and shoppe, it was her two favorite things mixed together, chocolate and pleasure. In the front would be a simple chocolate shoppe, where she prepared for the unknowing customers of the what happened there at night.<br/><br/>The early 1800's were stiff, and some women chose to show their true selves and be what they wished. No woman was forced to work as a woman of pleasure for Lysette unless they chose to, and she would never force that upon anyone. She desired to help these women find their individuality and independence, she wanted them to live their lives as they chose and help them when she could.<br/><br/>It was 1809, the shoppe had been open for nine years now, and had proven to be successful. No one of the town spoke of what went on at night, and still bought the incredble chocolate the lovely Lady Ronin made for them. Incredibly sweet, she could get along with nearly anyone, maybe that was why she was so successful in both parts of her world.<br/><br/>She dared to explore parts of people, male or female that would gain their trust and acceptance, she could keep up with the most recent topics, and was educated. Her husband taught her everything she ever wanted to know, so she could keep up with even the most able men of conversation. Though she did have a side to her that few would dare to cross, she usally could keep her emotions intact.<br/><br/>As her daily routine, she made the afternoon meal for the ladies. Half breakfast items, and half lunch items, and she set up their plates as well. She was giving, caring, but would keep everyone in line if she had to.<br/><br/>Meal times the women usually shared their encounters and stories, they spoke of enjoyment through their tales and the partners they had, sometimes even sharing ideas and tips for future reference.
