<em>~ A Quick Change for Nicci, if she can find something to wear ~</em><br/><br/>Standing in her dressing room Nicci hesitated, looking into the drawer she'd put some night things.  Although normally, when she was on her own, she slept naked, she had some night things for going away with and had been lucky after a shoot to get some really beautiful sexy silk ones and robes to match.  But it didn't seem appropriate to put them on to go to the girls, not with the comfies they were wearing, a bit like she was showing off in a way.  If she had been at home she would already have slipped on some jeans and t-shit.<br/><br/>Ah.....T-shirt, she thought, she had plenty of those, she could wear one with some soft jersey running shorts.  She went to the next chest of drawers and took the  top one (http://www.net-a-porter.com/intl/ViewFullSizeImage.ice?productID=96312&currentImage=96312_in) out, but thought, no, too designer, setting it one side and picking up the next.  She wore lots graffiti and street clothes, and  ones like these (http://www.unionclothing.co.uk/lg_images/Nudie_Gaston_Graffiti_T_Shirt.jpg), but again it didn't seem like it was right for the occasion. Picking up the next one she hesitated again, lord this was like going on a date, worse than that, men were easy to please,  this one (http://www.republic.co.uk/t-shirts/bench-fossil-t-shirt/invt/84693/) would do, and some grey shorts.  She didn't need a robe the castle was so well heated.<br/><br/>She got changed, cleaned up and swiftly, the small amount of make-up was gone and she was once more standing outside Mari's room. Taking a deep breath she did her mental 'head high' shift, pulling in the determination, gathering the protective shield around her as she knocked and then went straight in.<br/><br/>"There," she said smiling, "At least quick changes are something I can do well."  She went and picked up her hot chocolate again and sat down cross legged on the floor in front of Mila, and sipped it slowly, savoring the rush of bittersweet warmth.
