 Located on the cleaner side of Travere that faces into the bay, its waters more quiet and its vistas more picturesque, is the quiet Cafe Rouge (to the right with the green door and red awning), family-owned and run for almost as long as people can remember. It serves light cuisine and all manner of pastries and coffees (including non-alcoholic beverages). It is always open for breakfast, even when the mornings are still grey, but it closes promptly after lunch and does not open again until some mysterious early-morning hour. |

Genevieve walked with an easy gait beside Annabelle "Bella" Khorudan, whom she had taken to Travere through the portal at the St. James Clothery. The shop was not located very far from the cafe, so the walk was a short one, with Genevieve pausing every so often as well-to-do citizens greeted Genevieve in elegant Gauldish. When they entered the Cafe Rouge, the waiter -- dressed fine, but with a weathered face -- saw Genevieve and exclaimed. They shared a light and quick conversation in Gauldish, the waiter leaning in to air-kiss both of Genevieve's cheeks just as she did him, and then led toward a table that seemed to be "her" table. The ambiance of this neighborhood and this cafe was that of an upper-class WORKING class, a merchant class, if you will. No one would look down at Bella for the work clothes she wore, but they might if it appeared to be poor clothes or very unclean. Still, the standard of behavior expected from this quarter was that of the far upper class quarters -- manners, above all else. Inside the cafe, things were decorated simply but tastefully, giving it a very "lived in" vibe. Everyone else within the cafe seemed relaxed, easy conversation flowing that did not stop at the appearance of Genevieve or Bella. Menus were handed over, and the waiter whisked off without taking their order. "Mm, that is Jean-Michel," Genevieve said to Bella in Common again, her accent a little more evident now that she was in Travere. "I come here often and I think he is off to get my drink without thinking to have taken your order," Genevieve said, a warm humor on her tone although she did not laugh. |

Physical Description: Bella is average height for a dwarf, around four and a half feet tall, with the broad shoulders and powerful frame common to her race. Her long, dark hair is usually pulled back in thick braids. Most would consider her face somewhere between "cute" and "pretty," or a mix of both, with deep green eyes and freckles often accented by streaks of soot from her work in the forge.
Clothes and Equipment:
At work, which is most of the time, Bella wears sturdy, practical clothing, with heavy gloves and apron to protect her from sparks and other dangers of the forge. Even away from work, she usually has tools tucked away in the various pockets and pouches of her clothing.

Bella watched it all with a pleasant but slightly confused smile. It is evident from her manner that she doesn’t understand a word of the local tongue. She sees that Lady Genevieve St. James is known and well-liked here with no surprise. She liked Genevieve from the moment they met, after all. After taking her seat across from Genevieve, she laughs warmly and shakes her head, seemingly more amused than offended by the waiter. “We will have to remind him when he comes back before he runs off again for your lunch as well.” |

Genevieve laughed at Annabelle "Bella" Khorudan's joke, relaxed and at ease. Even so, there seemed to be... a haunt of sadness about her. More so than usual. Something that seemed to be lingering, subtle but there -- like a loose thread or a small stain. "Tell me how you have been? I have heard that you were also visited by a young man who was a bit suspicious?" |

Bella looked across the table to Lady Genevieve St. James for a moment, then nodded and leaned back. “I did. He made some suspicious orders and his general manner was… well, off-putting. Even without asking for poison knives and all, I might have refused him service. So I reported it to the authorities and didn’t fill the order. I don’t know what came of it, but I assume he is either in jail or chased off or something like that now.” She shrugged it off with a smile, not one to linger on unpleasant topics after they were settled. “Otherwise, I have been quite well. I stirred up some new business at the festival, you know. And I met the High Lady. And…” her freckled cheeked blushed bright red and she looked down. When she continued, she stuttered slightly, mumbling out the next sentence. “I had my first kiss.” |

"He asked for poison knives?" Genevieve asked, mildly shocked. "So, too, he came to my shop asking for something that would make him stealthy and silent and unseen, then told me that he was most certainly not an assassin and no 'mere' thief. The Chancellor came in while he was there, and I think he might have something to do with that fellow... suddenly disappearing." She went quiet as she listened to Annabelle "Bella" Khorudan, nodding and smiling, and then -- she gasped in delight. "Non! From whom?" Then it clicked. "Kelly? Ah, but this makes sense. It must have been the night of Prospernalia's End Feast, non? When Kelly was wearing the enchanted dress?" |

She smiled brightly and nodded, still looking down and slightly away, her cheeks flushed pink. “It was. She confessed to me that she had romantic intentions on someone at the feast. Teased me a little around who it was, even. Then she told me it was me and kissed me. Genevieve, it was… magical. Like something you might read about in one of those silly romances. She even said no one ever showed he any kind of attention or care before.”

Genevieve smiled, feeling something warm uncurl in her heart for Bella. "I am very happy for you," she said. The Enchantress reflected on her own romances... and gave a slight shake of her head, sadness shuttering in her eyes for a moment before it drifted away. Jean-Michel came back to their table with Genevieve's cafe au lait, and then asked Bella for forgiveness in heavily accented Gauldish, Jean-Michel's feminine mannerisms and sincere passion evident. Then, he asked for Bella's order for lunch, already knowing what Genevieve's would be.
It seemed the seamstress was a person given to predictability and routines. As soon as Jean-Michel was gone, Genevieve sipped her cafe au lait, then curled both of her elegant hands around the wide, flat cup. "So you still feel feelings of love, even without the gown Kelly wore?" Genevieve asked, mildly curious. "It must be very exciting. New love always is. Have you two gone on a date yet?"

Bella smiled to the waiter, ordering a coffee a light sandwich, and hoping he didn't think her blush was related to something he had done or said. “It is early to say love, I think. I was swept up in the romance of the festival when it happened, so of course everything felt more intense at…” Bella trails off, then looks over to Lady Genevieve St. James , her smile faltering slightly as she thinks back. “Without the gown? Well, it was a beautiful dress, I can’t deny it. Do you think maybe I fell for the dress more than the person in it?” |

What a faux pas Genevieve found herself in. She cleared her throat and shook her head, trying to change off the subject. "I am not able to make anyone feel true LOVE for someone else, Bella," Genevieve said, sipping on her coffee. "It is one of the cardinal rules of magic, after all."
She could make people feel something very similar.... but...
"But over all you enjoyed the Prospernalia? The dresses that YOU wore served you well?"

Bella chuckled and shook her head, smiling across to Lady Genevieve St. James , her blush fading slightly. “I only meant to say that it was a particularly beautiful dress. Almost anyone would have looked great in it. I might…” She looked down again, trailing off in her thoughts. She had been swept up in the magic of the festival. But there was actual magic, too. Her own dress that amplified the fun and merriment of the celebration. The flirty, almost seductive aura on her gown… “Genevieve… My dresses were perfect. Everything I could have wanted. But… you said it would have people stealing kisses, remember? I… I didn’t enchant Kelly into kissing me, did I?” |

She was put into a difficult position. Somehow, she felt responsible for things, even though she had always been very forward and honest about the sort of garments she sold and the enchantments on it. "Both of the gowns you and Kelly wore were enchanted," Genevieve explained in as kind and soft a voice as she could muster, looking across the small cafe table and into Annabelle "Bella" Khorudan's wide eyes. "Both of you chose gowns that... that had a lean toward kisses and flirtations and romance that would effect those around you. And, on top of all that, was Ganymede's nymph magic all around that Feast and indeed through out the entire Prospernalia, so it is... It is possible that it might have been the constant, mm... what is the word... constantly being around the nymph magic and then my own that worked together to bring everything toward a happy ending." |

“Oh…” Bella looked down, fidgeting slightly in her chair. “She… she said it was her first kiss, too. No one ever showed that kind of interest in her before. It feels wrong to… to use magic to get someone’s first kiss. I mean, we were all swept up in the celebration. All of us, not just me and Kelly. And the magic…” The little dwarf stuttered slightly, wringing her hands as she struggled with the situation. Obviously, compelling someone to do something like that was wrong, but using a little magic to bump things along that were already moving in that direction wasn’t so bad, was it? It was like booze, right? A drink or two to loosen up as a sort of social lubricant was no big deal, it was only if they were too drunk to think that it was a problem. And no one else had been overwhelmed by the magic, so it probably wasn’t as strong as that. Or maybe the two dresses pulled to each other like magnets. “Genevieve?” She looked across the table at Lady Genevieve St. James again. “Did Kelly have the same kind of thing I had? The magic on her dress, I mean. Could the two combine to make a stronger effect because we were right next to each other?” |

"Oh, Bella..." Genevieve said with a small, worried sigh, reaching across the table to slide her slender hand into the dwarf's own and give a reassuring squeeze. "What are you actually concerned about?" the enchantress asked. "All of these questions seem to be leading toward some place."

Bella looked down at their joined hands and sighed. She took a deep breath to compose herself, giving Lady Genevieve St. James ’s hand a gentle squeeze, then looked up again. Her green eyes gazed into Genevieve’s blues as Bella tried to organize her thoughts into words. “Was it really a romantic moment? Or did it only look like one? Did we choose what happened?” |

"The enchantments on my gowns are meant to persuade and entice -- but they cannot make a decision for you," Genevieve told Bella, her voice quiet but firm. "They encourage certain feelings in others, but that is it. If you kissed Kelly, then it was because you chose to give in to the encouragement and do it."
She took her hand away and sat up in her chair when she saw Jean-Michel come by with their order, setting the food down in front of them and politely asking if there was anything else. Genevieve smiled at him and said she was fine, and no doubt Bella did the same. When he was gone, Genevieve spoke again.
"As for the nymph magic, I cannot say. I do not know the Minister of the Arts well, and it seemed as if she had anyone within that festival under her spell." She paused and reflected, a shadow coming into her gaze. "Almost everyone..."

“I chose…” The dwarf stopped, furrowing her brow slightly. Up until that point, she had been concerned with the ethics of her own actions. Worried that she might have done something wrong. It hadn’t even entered her mind that she was under as much enchantment as Kelly had been. And probably noticeably more drunk, too. She had chosen to kiss Kelly afterwards, of course. With no magic spells or enchantments pushing her to, she had made that choice. But something Lady Genevieve St. James had said still needled at her. Bella sipped at her coffee, then nodded and looked across the table. “What enchantment was on Kelly’s dress, then? The same as mine?” |

She felt already as if she had said to much, and she regretted it keenly. She had meant this lunch to be a catching up of friends, but it seemed to turn sour very quickly. Genevieve's heart was in her gaze as she looked at Annabelle "Bella" Khorudan, feeling rotten and terrible and -- well, didn't this just figure? She'd made a mess of her first romance with Ryden, it would only follow that she would make a mess of her friendship with Bella. Why did she even keep trying to live a normal life, have normal relationships? Genevieve was constantly straddling a line between what she felt she wanted and she felt too guilty to reach for. "I cannot say, Bella. I think it is, perhaps, a conversation you should have with Kelly," the enchantress told Bella quietly, and didn't know what else to say to save the occasion. |

“Yes. Yes, you’re right. I’m sorry, Genevieve. I shouldn’t put you on the spot like that.” Bella laughed and shook her head, giving Lady Genevieve St. James ’s hand a gentle squeeze, then releasing it. Of course she should be talking these things through with @banditkelly . It was so obvious when it was said out loud, but at least she had the excuse that she had never been in this kind of situation before. It was all so terribly new to her, and she was feeling her way around in the dark. She picked up her cup and took a sip, then shook her head again. “What about you? Tell me how you have been. It can’t all be sunny afternoons at the cafe with bad friends making asses of themselves.” The little dwarf gave a self-deprecating chuckle and smiled across the table, hoping she hadn’t managed to ruin the lunch beyond recovery. |

"You have no need to apologize, Bella," Genevieve insisted. She took the hand that was released after Annabelle "Bella" Khorudan's squeeze and placed it at her chest, fingertips brushing against the bare skin below her graceful collarbones. "It is I who should. I should have been far more clear about what my gowns are capable of," the enchantress went on to say, her aristocratic, Gauldish accent a little deeper as she spoke with a rising passion. Bella was trying to get things onto a lighter track, however, so Genevieve was content to follow along. Later, when she had time to reflect and think about it, she would somehow make it up to the lovely little dwarf. Genevieve gifted Bella with a fleeting smile at the blacksmither's attempt at a joke, and then spoke. "I... Well, I feel as if I have been making many romantic mistakes lately. Primarily with Ryden Greyiron." |
