daria-manciniâ:
Daria ran her fingers through the younger submissiveâs hair, tugging at the ends lightly as she compared the lengths.  âYou cut it yourself you said?â she clarified knowing that she would be demanding money back if it had been done at an actual hairdressers.  âYou could try this shampoo andâŚâŚthis conditioner will make it less fly away,â she explained as she ran her finger along the shelf to find the one she was thinking of. It was on the tip of her tongue to offer to sort the girlâs hair but she knew she wouldnât have time to finish it properly that afternoon along with her errands before Riccardo came home.  âItâs not to hard to fix, it just needs some straightening but it would be really hard to do yourself, even for someone with training. Do you have someone who could trim it for you?â
Luan could tell from the way the other woman touched her hair that she knew what she was doing, or at least knew far more than Luan herself did.  âMmhmmm. I ummm... I d-didnât really think about it I just... just d-did it. It ummm... it w-was a lot longer before.â She picked up the shampoo and conditioner that had been indicated, giving the labels a quick read but they revealed nothing to her really so she trusted the recommendation.  âTh-thank you, I ahh Iâll let you know how they w-work,â she murmured shyly but offered a grateful smile. The shy girl shook her head in response to the question.  âI... I d-donât have anyone. I ummm... I know they a-ask questions and... and I wonât know the answers so... s-so I donât see anyone. Do ahh you know s-someone who could m-make it easier for me?â She knew it was an extremely long shot but the stranger had helped with the shampoo so she thought she would try her luck.

Diana kept hold of Luanâs hand as they started to walk back to her house. But she was almost ridicuously pleased at the giggle and the personal comment as that was so much more than Luan would have done even a few months ago. âShe is a very smart cat with impeccable taste. Which means Iâm sure sheâll love you.â
Luanâs therapist had been encouraging her to be honest with herself and to embrace who she was and what she liked rather than being afraid and trying to hide all the time. Having her hand held was one of the best ways for her to feel comforted and supported and though Diana wouldnât have known that Luan offered her a grateful smile despite the sadness still hanging over her and gave the other womanâs hand a little squeeze with her own.  âWell ummm... m-maybe if she sits still long enough I could d-draw her but ahhh... that would mean not cuddling her any more s-so maybe Iâll save that for next time.â

elle-capuletâ:
Elle looked down at the drawing and felt her smile grow as she took in what she was seeing. The drawing looked remarkably like her. âThatâs beautiful⌠You have an incredible talent.â Elle had always loved attention and was flattered by the sketch. âItâs so realistic.â She could only wish she had an artistic skill like the submissive.Â
Luanâs face split into a huge, proud grin as the drawing was praised. It was so rare for someone to see her art that receiving compliments for it were a rarity too.  âWell ummm... youâre really pretty M-Miss, so... so itâs easy to make it b-beautiful,â she admitted, her cheeks turning an even deeper shade of pink.  âWould ahh... w-would you like it? When itâs finished I m-mean. I... I could give it to you if you like?â

âNo darling, just whenever you find it will be fine. If Iâm not in you can leave it with my assistant and I will get it from them.â Her tone was more clipped than she intended and she let out a long breath before she allowed herself to speak again.  âDo not worry about it though darling, there is no immediate rush. I have until next week to complete it.â
Luan nodded and finally gave up looking through her bag for the form. Â She knew it was important but she kept forgetting to get it to Martina to finish off and send in. Â âA-As soon as I find it Iâll b-bring it to you M-Miss, I ummm... Iâm s-sorry I keep forgetting. Â I... I want to work again a-and I want t-to help the family s-somehow. Â I... I know itâs important.â

bella-montagueâ:
Bella nodded her head, slipping her arms around Luanâs waist. She was far more concerned with Luan not hurting herself. She hoped to take her outside for a bit of fresh air to help clear her mind. âThank you.â She took the bottle in her hand, just wanting to keep it far from her at the moment. âMay I ask why you hate Halloween? Are you not enjoying the party?â
Luan automatically moved in closer when she felt Bellaâs arm slip around her waste, she felt better now she was with someone she knew.  âThish -hic- and those is not fun or funny for me,â she explained as she pointed out a coffin which had been added for decoration, a particularly bloody looking zombie and a very elaborate costume where someone had created a realistic looking headwound. Luan wished she could appreciate the artistry behind it but instead she felt the urge to cry start to rise once again.  âThis is what I shee in -hic- nightmares,â she slurred, âI donât like it being real... again.â

carlo--romanoâ:
Listening to her speak, and watching her carefully, Carlo could tell that the alcohol sheâd been drinking had definitely made an effect. Honestly, he would give just about anything to be in the same state she was in. It would dull his disappointment. That thought only made him feel even more pathetic at the fact that he had never really experienced things not particularly going his way and it had left him wholly unprepared to handle a failed attempted relationship, and watching another person he had interest in being in an arranged claim with his cousin. Yeah, he was definitely pathetic, and he definitely needed alcohol. A lot of it.
âWell, for someone who isnât usually a party goer⌠heads up, this is usually what happens at a party.â Carlo gestured to her in her current state, but his comment was said in a friendly tone. Her reason for not liking Halloween left him feeling a bit sympathetic, and extremely curious, but he wasnât the sort of person to pry. âWell, if youâre not a fan of costumesâŚâ Carlo pulled his mask off, and shrugged, âHalloween is kind of a shit holiday anyway⌠is it even really a holiday? And I shouldâve stayed home as well, but unfortunately itâs a family party and I donât think they would be too happy if I didnât show up. Whatâs your name?â
âI -hic- guesh Iâve been doing parties wrong since I started going to them then,â Luan replied with a shrug as she swayed slightly from side to side. She had actually only started attending parties once sheâd been accepted into the Montague family so her experiences were extremely limited. She always seemed to hear about them at the last minute or after they had passed and direct invitations to events were extremely rare despite doing her best to âget out thereâ.  The shy girl smiled when he removed his mask, her own was dangling from her fingers having been removed when she had gone for her cry but being able to clearly see his face made her feel less apprehensive.
âIsh not a holiday, ish an excuse to scare people and eat too mush sugar.â Luanâs head tilted to the side in a more exaggerated manner than it normally would, she knew what it was like to feel obligated to attend family events, though they had become far less frequent recently.  âIâm Lu- Luan.â She held the bottle out towards the man before her.  âItâsh horrible but mu- made me feel better,â she explained with a small giggle and a hiccough.  âI got kissed by two Dommeâs lasht Halloween. That was my favourite,â she blurted out, her drunken state making her overshare horribly.  âBut -hic- theyâre both gone now.â

bella-montagueâ:
Keeping a wary eye on the goings on, Bella stuck to the edge of the room. While she longed to go and have fun, something more was going on. There had to be a reason as to why the Romanos invited the two most powerful families in Verona to their party. Hearing the drunken slurring, Bella turned her attention to the woman entering the room. âLuan dear, may I have the bottle please? I would like a sip.â The woman clearly had already had more than enough.
Luan was pleased to hear Bellaâs voice as the masks everyone had been wearing had made it difficult to know who was around and the Domme was the first person she knew that she had encountered.  âIsh not very nice Miss,â she explained as she moved the bottle towards Bella far more wildly than she would have normally.  âBut the bubbles are fi- fi- funny,â she added with a giggle and a hiccough.

goodfellow-puckâ:
Puck didnât really know what had possessed him to go to the Halloween party. After all, he didnât really know the hosts, and it was likely that heâd run into at least one of his patients there. Fortunately, the anonymity of the masks did somewhat help. But his ridiculous height, per usual, did him no favors.
He had just excused himself for a walk in one of the more quiet areas but had barely gotten out of the main crowd when he caught sight of a smaller woman who had clearly been drinking. That much could be determined from her speech before the bottle was even spotted. He gave her a gentle expressionâas much as could be detected from under his maskâbefore reaching up to pull it off completely. âWhyâs that?â He asked her gently.
Even in her rather drunken state Luan found there was something unnerving about the masks everyone was wearing, she didnât like that she couldnât tell who anyone was so when the man before her removed his she offered him a grateful smile.  âI donât like the outfish... outfish... out-fits,â she replied and just as she was speaking a zombie with a realistic looking headwound came into her field of view. Luanâs eyes became unfocused and incredibly distant as she swayed slightly on the spot.  âThereâs sho much blood. Ish everywhere. It doesnât go away.â Her tone was as distant as her gaze which made it clear she wasnât actually talking about costumes at the party.

sirrafaelromanoâ:
Rafe had been on his best behavior for the evening. He greeted as many people as possible with Adelaide on his arm. She was proving to be the perfect companion. He excused himself from her presence to grab a drink. He headed toward the bar and almost ran into a woman who seemedâŚupset. âYou do? You seem to be enjoying the open bar plenty.â He mused with a smirk on his face.Â
Luanâs meandering path took her somehow to the bar which she hadnât seen before due to her very hasty earlier exit. Now that she wasnât so panicked or overwhelmed she was able to appreciate the artistry that had gone into the bar decorations. It took her a moment to realise someone was talking to her and then another few moments of puzzlement before she realised he was talking about the bottle in her hands.  âOh thish? It was an accident, ish not very nice but I feel better,â she explained and not wanting to get into trouble she continued, âI can pay for it if you like?â

carlo--romanoâ:
Carlo was wondering when he had become the sort of person to hide away from the rest of the crowds at parties. Lately, it seemed as though he tried to make himself scarce. In truth, he hadnât found very many things to celebrate. Originally, heâd thought that the party was a good idea, especially after the riots. Now that it had come, and he found himself alone, and not in the scenario that heâd imagined he would be in. Carlo had found a quiet corner, where he could watch the party, and not be noticed.
That was when a female appeared not too far from him, and he watched as she drank the bottle that was in her hand. Now, sheâs got the right fucking idea, Carlo thought to himself. Why he hadnât considered drinking an entire bottle of alcohol so he could find a way to forget all his stupid troubles, he didnât know. He gave the unknown female an amused expression as she staggered past him, towards the party. âDo you really? I wouldnât have guessed from how hard youâre partying now,â he commented, although she hadnât particularly been speaking to him. âWhat do you hate about it, exactly?â
Luan was only vaguely aware of where she was and where she was going as she staggered forward but a sense of calm and taken over and it was only the slight spinning sensation that was getting to her now. Â She swigged from her bottle and scowled at some bat decorations she spotted but continued on her way. Â She stopped when a voice addressed her and she turned towards its owner, blinking a couple of times so her vision would focus.
The normally incredibly shy submissive didnât feel the rush of anxiousness that always filled her when talking to a stranger and instead she responded straight away. Â âIs thish what a party looks like?â Â Her arms moved up and down wildly to indicate herself. Â âI donât know, Iâm not ushually a party -hic- goer.â Â His follow up question did make some of her usual anxiousness rise and she combated it by taking another swig from the bottle. Â âIsh the costumes,â she slurred, âthey remind me of... stuff. Â That I donât want to think about. Â Iâve alwaysh hated it. Â Itâs horrible. Â I should have stayed at home like lasht year.â

Not wanting to feel left out Luan had decided to attend the Halloween party against her better judgement. She had been in the building only seconds before a vampire made her scream and a zombie lurched towards her causing her to want to run. It had been the man in a suit covered in fake blood that had caused her to actually run though, right into a hostess. Luan performed a miraculous catch as a bottle tumbled from the hostessâ tray but she didnât stop to return it and instead ran with the bottle until she found a quiet corner to have a little cry.
The bottle went untouched at first and when Luan finally decided to try it she thought the contents tasted horrible. The bubbles gave her a strange tickling sensation though which distracted her from her dark thoughts. As the contents of the bottle disappeared Luan felt her bravery increasing and soon found herself staggering back towards the party.  âI -hic- hate Halloween,â she said to the bottle before taking another swig from it.

wallflowerxmaeâ:
Mae tried to keep her expression from shifting into the one her mamma always said made her look like she didnât care about anything; she couldnât help that most of the time, it was just what her face did. But she made an effort when she remembered. âItâs good you had someone to take care of you, and the estate is very safe.â Her own encounter had been unpleasant - not nearly as bad as it might have been, Mae knew, but she didnât remember the last time sheâd been so frightened either. âI was - I was out with Celia. Lord Romano came and got us before anything could happen though.â
Luan struggled to read peopleâs expressions at the best of times but she was finding Mae particularly hard to read. Maybe it was her own nerves causing her trouble but she got the impression of a vague annoyance but that didnât match up with Maeâs words. Luan began to nervously pull on strands of her now short hair.  âI ummm... I d-donât know many people so... s-so it was nice to have someone so I d-didnât panic.â She almost had panicked regardless of Livyâs presence but the Domme had always managed to calm her down just in time.  âIt... it was really s-scary. I ahh Iâve seen fights break out before but... b-but nothing like that. I... I donât even understand what it w-was all for.â She visibly shuddered as the memories came flooding back.  âI... I hope it n-never happens again.â

daria-manciniâ:
Daria was looking for her usual shampoo but different store and a different way of organising everything meant she couldnât just grab and go as she usually did. Pausing to let the younger woman get what she wanted Dariaâs trained eye ran over the ends of the womanâs hair and she frowned at the fact it didnât seem even at all.  âCan I take a quick look at your hair? Would you mind?â she asked suddenly.  âI might be able to advise you on the best product.â
The question caught Luan by surprise and she turned to look at the other woman with a very puzzled expression on her face for a moment. She would be grateful for any help though as she had been struggling so she managed to offer a shy smile and a nod.  âO-ok but... b-but I know itâs a mess. It was long and... and I cut it and n-now it... it doesnât s-stay any more. I ummm... I think I did it wrong. I ahhh Iâll try anything if y-you think itâll help.â

Having short hair had been a new and thrilling experience for Luan at first but she was becoming more and more frustrated with it as it never did what she wanted it to. The weight of her longer hair had meant just letting it fall and curl how it wanted still looked ok but the shorter strands now curled into her face or stuck out and stoically refused to be flattened.  âI... I have n-no idea what Iâm l-looking at either,â she murmured shyly and bit her lip. She leaned forward and ran her finger along the row of hair products looking for anything that said it would help with self-cut hair.
Daria was overwhelmed being back in Verona, everything was so familiar and yet so different. With Riccardo off to the office she had set out to buy a few things. Stepping back from the counter she barely glanced round as she gestured to the person behind her, âPlease go first, I havenât decided what I need yet.â
