"Lead the way," I said with a smile.

Juliet
I did just that, weaving through hallways and large rooms until I found mine. I carefully pressed my ear up against the door, listening. "I believe my parents are out." I opened the door, ushering him in and closing the door behind us.

I looked around in awe. This was so much bigger than where Chass and I were staying! It was crazy. I hadn't seen a place this huge in my life.

Juliet
I walked over to the door that led to my room, opening it and heading over to my wardrobe. "Come and pick one," I called to Nicholas.

Still looking around in awe, I followed her over. Okay, that was a lot of dresses. "You can pick one. You know what you don't like or don't wear a lot better than I do."

"Right, um..." I riffled through some dresses, pulling out an ugly, frilly pink one. "Here you are."

"I'm going to get smacked," I muttered under my breath, taking the dress from her. "I'll come find you on the deck soon, okay? Er... maybe in an hour and a half or two, actually..."

"All right." A horn trumpeting made me look around. "Lunchtime already?"

Nicholas
I shrugged and walked off, dumping the dress in the room I'd be sharing and taking a sketchbook that wasn't full out of my bag, along with some charcoal. I headed out, walking around and making thoughtful faces at anything that looked remotely interesting.
Eventually, a girl walked up and tapped my on the shoulder. "What are you drawing?" she asked curiously.
"I... well, nothing, yet. People is more of my specialty, but... um..." I cleared my throat awkwardly. I could tell from her accent the girl was French. That was good.
"But what? No one has volunteered to model for you?" she twirled around. "I can do zat, yes?"
"... It's a specific type of modeling that I need done," I told her, and flipped back a page.
Her eyes went wide, and then she smiled. "I can do zat."
"Would you?"
"Of course. Anything for art. Lead ze way," she said. I smiled back at her and walked back to my room.
OOC: "One good thing about Paris: lots of women willing to take their clothes off." xD

OOC: You just had to do that. xDD
Juliet
I waited for him to leave before slowly leaving the room, closing the door behind me. I walked slowly down the corridors until I reached large glass doors that led to the dining room. A man opened the doors for me, and I nodded courteously as I searched the room for my parents.
"Over here, Juliet, darling!" a woman's voice called, and I smiled at Mrs. Brown as I headed over to her table, where my parents were sitting across from her and her husband, stone-faced.
I sat beside my mother, who brought a cup of tea to her lips before asking me, "Did you run into any friends, darling?"
I nodded as a plate of food was set in front of me. "I saw Mr. Stahl up on the deck."
"I ran into Juliet up there, and only had a just begun to strike a conversation with her, some third class boy ran into us! How Juliet was stricken by that boy."
My mother looked at me, eyes piercing. "You spoke with this boy?"
I blushed furiously. "He was apologizing. I couldn't just ignore him."
"Juliet, you know better than to talk with filth like third class people. Do we have to discuss this behavior of yours with you again?" My father asked me sharply.
"N-no," I muttered.
"Good. Now eat your food, but not too much. We don't want you to gain any weight before your marriage," my mother instructed me, and I unwillingly obeyed her.

OOC: Of course I did. xD Nicholas needed to put his artistry skills to good use.
Nicholas
"I'll just, um... wait here while you... get comfortable," I said with a small smile.
She let out a laugh and walked behind the curtain that was supposed to be like a living room, but was hardly another room. "I am ready," she called after a few moments.
When I walked in with my sketchbook and charcoal, she was seated on the couch. I pulled the chair away from the wall and took a seat. "Think you could lay down?" I asked her.
She did so, propping her head up on her hand. "Zis is good?"
I nodded slowly. "Yes, thank you. Er... what's your name?" I asked, putting the charcoal to the paper.
"Violet. And you, sir?"
"I'm Nicholas."
"Pleasure to meet you."

OOC: *insert time passing and description of how Nicholas somehow got the dress without Violet realizing/mentioning anything because I didn't completely think that through* xDDD
Nicholas
Once Violet was gone, I looked at the new sketch in my book. Hmm... well, it wasn't half-bad for how rushed it was. I carefully stowed it away and hid the dress under my blankets, then headed off to find Juliet. Eventually, I realized that it was around lunchtime and she may be eating, so I headed off to where most first-class people seemed to be gathered to eat mouthwatering food. It was indoors, which gave me a decent opening. I headed inside and pretended to look around the room, stopping at random tables. "Are you Juliet Sinclair?" "Do you know a Juliet Sinclair?" were my most repeated questions. Eventually, I found the table I'd already seen her at, but, of course, I couldn't act like I knew her; that might get her into trouble with her parents, who she was sitting with. And that woman that was with her earlier. I could only hope she wouldn't mention having seen me earlier.
"Excuse me, do any of you know a Juliet Sinclair?" I asked them politely.

Juliet
My mother looked up at Nick, her face contorting in obvious disgust.
"Who even let him in?" I heard my father mutter.
I stared at him, not knowing how to answer. Obviously he was trying to get me alone, but how was I to answer him? "That would be me," I said hesitantly.

Nicholas
"Oh? Well, there's a man on the deck that sent me to look for you," I said, bowing my head slightly. "Shall I come back later, when you're finished with your meal?"

I got up from my seat slowly, fixing my dress. "Actually, you can take me to him now."

"Well, I guess that works, too," I said with a small smile. "Thank you," I said, sort of to all of them, before I started walking for the deck and managing to keep my composure. I just hoped I wasn't visibly sweating. I didn't usually; I was actually a very good liar, but something about beng... well, around many first-class people who obviously weren't very fond of me just made me uncomfortable, I guess.

I followed after him, feeling my parents burning a hole in my back. "So, what's going on?"

I grinned at her and led her to the room I was staying in, opening the door and grabbing my sketchbook. I opened it to the page and showed her the picture of Violet. "Like I said, nothing I haven't done before," I told her wryly, gesturing to the bed. "And there you go. She's got your old dress."

I stared blankly at him for a moment. So he drew pictures of naked women for a living? That's...interesting. "I...see. Did she willingly gave up her dress, or did you have to convince her?"

"I... sort of stole it. I assume she noticed when she was putting on a more extravagant dress than the one she arrived with, but she didn't say a word," I answered, looking back up to her. I grimaced at the look on her face. "I don't want you to think I'm a... lecher, or something. I just... I love to draw. I can't... draw... anything... except for people. I prefer drawing women. And... well, once I tried... these sorts of drawings... well, I didn't go back. I was never good at creases in clothes anyways," I said, rubbing the back of my head awkwardly. Normally I didn't care what anyone thought about my occupation, but... well, I just didn't want Juliet to think badly of me.

"Aha. Well, if I ever find the time to take off of my busy schedule, I might just ask for a drawing of myself," I said mischieveously.

My eyes went wide and I blushed bright scarlet, looking down at the ground. "Yeah, well, uh... I'll just... be waiting outside while you change. Unless you want to wait; the party isn't until ten, apparently," I mumbled.

"I think I'll just wait. I'll have dinner later, so I can't exactly change just yet," I told him, smiling at his blush.

"Right," I said, still blushing. I willed it away, but wasn't sure it worked. "Well, I'll be... around, I guess."
