[OTA] Shop and Spy

Best order from a royal ever: go shopping and see what you can hear about what the Tower and the Devil might have in store other than dubiously romantic dates in Town.

So after a trip over to Diamond Castle, Zoe wanders first to Heartsong, her uncle's music store where Sara first spotted Burke and Asmodai, flipping through Uncle Lucien's used record collection as she listened to the chatter from the other customers. But it seems that all is quiet again on the Arcana front, and she's soon out the door again, wandering down the street and pausing here and there to look at this dress or this one or those shoes.

And listening to idle chatter, of course.

"Zoe!"

It's good cover to have a friend who has no idea what you're doing shopping with you, right?

"Hi!"

Silas needed to figure out a color scheme for his tuxedo for the ball. Time was short and, considering his recent argument with the woman who was supposed to be his shopping date, he figured he should probably just...get it out of the way. So when he encounters Zoë, well, he can't help smiling. She's always one for shopping with a smile, isn't she?

"Miss Kattalakis, how wonderful to see you."

Monty had been nosing around town as part of his layabout and chat people up duties when he spots Zoe coming out of a store. He raises a lazy hand to wave and crosses the cobblestones.

"Nice day for shopping."

Hadyn wasn't always the best shopper, but he was trying to not panic about his challenge this coming Friday. In truth- this was not going well.

And Zoe was now his sister- which was still awkward to think about.

"So...." he said, coming up on her slowly. "How's it going?"

She's smarter now - understands that hiding in her room throwing herself at anything resembling work isn't a good thing. So Blythe's out and about in Town. She's still worried out of her mind, of course, but she can distract herself with something slightly more social.

And so, when she sees Zoe, it's with an air of relief that she approaches her, trying for a little smile. "Hey Zoe. How are you? What are you-- Are you looking for a dress for the ball?"

"I like first," he said as he appeared behind her, looking over the dresses she was mulling over. "You'd look lovely in it." And she would. But then, he always thought she looked rather lovely in most of the things she wore
