Ellana, if you ever mention that sort of thing around Araceli you're going to get something that isn't a lecture about tailoring, because a lecture implies something stern. Araceli's opinion on clothes and what they can do is altogether a more passionate thing. They're just another tool of the trade, a weapon in the arsenal, and if her father taught her how to gamble and to read a person, then her mother (well, her mother taught her a different way to do that too) taught her how the clothes maketh the lady and what they can do for you.

"You need to have it Ellana, you look incredible!" Her cheeks are starting to hurt from smiling as she looks at her friend because they should have this. Everyone should have this. "Sweep your hair up, wear a necklace that draws the eyes there too so there can be no mistaking where anyone is meant to look."

There are more lessons. Araceli tends to let the girls out plenty when she's playing cards and dice, that isn't an accident.
