It was cold out tonight, and she was glad for her wrap around her shoulders, the material a nice dense wool woven to be as sleek as a silk one but several times more practical. It was the same dark sapphire as her dress, and she pulled it tighter around her, glancing up in surprise as Kiri appeared. She hadn't thought Kiri or Patrick would wish to leave the gathering as quickly as she had. But the pose and the facial expression the agent directed toward her caused a blush to spring into her cheeks. That had been an awful lasp in manners to hurry away so quickly.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry Kiri, I just..you know how I feel about crowds, the crush was horrid. And I have ideas I want to sketch out now." She shifted, feeling guilty for what she had done, but she was a woman grown and it had been the right thing to leave and avoid the man with whom she had been entangled with not that long ago.<br/><br/>Talia turned startled though to see Patrick with Kiri still, and she smiled softly, nodding her head. "I would not wish to get rid of either of the two of you, however the crowds and press of them I can do without. Kiri, would you like to come up to the studio now?"<br/><br/>And as she said that her car was pulled around, a straight, normal limo for the night. She wanted to down play attention to herself mostly. It would work out well if they both came up to her work area tonight, she could get the measurements she needed for Patrick and start on those newer ideas that seeing him put her in mind of. He could have easily been placed in a long ago century and look wise fit in perfectly.<br/><br/>Which made her no ends of happy considering the task that was before her. She pondered for a moment Kiri's mention of a mock up earlier and it would not be hard to set up, not with the large grounds allotted to her mansion, nor the inside itself. There were many different rooms, all decorated by she herself, different time periods, recreating things. She loved her home and didn't often invite people into it, it was her haven here.<br/><br/>"Kiri, Patrick I would be delighted if you both accompanied me back to my studio for now. Please, allow me to offer you a ride and when we get there some late supper."
