Excitement bubbling through her, she nodded. “Be there in ten!” She went to her room, slipped into her white coat, got her wallet, and was on her way to the entrance in record time. She hadn’t been this hyped for something since-
Since Lumiere had surprised her with the nursery.
Her energy subdued at the memory that seemed so long ago, she sighed sadly. Placing a hand on her stomach, she murmured, “We don’t need him, right? We are going to be just fine, petite chéri.”
Angelique was quickly at the entrance after once again checking if her hair and dress and makeup and everything else was perfect and made her way to the entrance. Everything was turning out alright, Cogsworth would be better soon, Babette was back, soon it would all come back to normal, she nodded softly to herself and smiled yup, everything would be normal again.
Now if only she could get music back… The castle seemed terrible empty without some music playing, she had no idea where Fife was but he needed to be back at doing his job as soon as possible!
Oui, I am sure of zat *nods assertively* And I am Angelique, ze best castle decorator in ze world.
-raises eyebrows in surprise- Oh. But for how long have you been a decorator, Ms. Angelique?
I ‘ave been for *starts counting the years and realizes maybe answering that is not a goo idea* You never ask a lady zat sort of question! *huffs*
Because zey are stupid people who do not know any better.
-frowns and sighs- If you think that… -perks up and smiles shyly- I don’t think we’ve met! I’m Melody!
Oui, I am sure of zat *nods assertively* And I am Angelique, ze best castle decorator in ze world.
butiwaswrong replied to your post: Muffins?
I some’ow do not zink you have.But then… Why is everyone making such a big deal outta muffins and butter?
Because zey are stupid people who do not know any better.
So many raging hormones going on right now, my goodness.
Vell, it IS Valentine’s Day…
I find that modesty and discretion are much more romantic than “buttering a muffin”! I don’t even WANT to know what the kids mean by that! What happened to romantic love letters and throwing rocks onto windows to winning a young woman’s heart?
Oh non! Rocks are not a good idea! Zey break ze glass and just create mess!
She grinned and lightly clapped her hands. “Magnifique! Oui, you’re right, we should leave soon. Do you need to change?” Considering that Angue didn’t have a uniform to wear as she was the castle decorator, Babette didn’t think it would be necessary. Babette herself wasn’t dressed in uniform but in normal jeans and a floral patterned blouse, as she hadn’t been planning on working today anyway. “I will just need to grab my jacket and we can be off!”
“Non, non, zis will work just fine.” she said looking down at the dress she was wearing, she always dressed her best even if she was just gonna stay in the castle, after all, you never know when will unexpected visitors appear, she smiled at Babette “Alright, I will wait for you at ze entrance zen.”

Zat is ze most wonderful place in ze world!
“Eh bien, I was thinking we could probably try to see if there was something for us too. I mean,” she giggled, closing the foundation and lightly brushing some blush on Angie’s cheeks, “we may be servants, but at least we are the literate kind!” Finally finished, she placed the makeup back in it’s place. “Go on, look, I promise you don’t look like a clown,” she teased.
While Babette’s style of makeup was more exaggerated than Angie, she knew when to stop. The blush was worked to give her a chipper look, the eye shadow barely noticeable, but the only thing that stood out was the cat-eyed eyeliner. She had a fondness for eyes, and in her opinion, Angie’s green eyes were absolutely amazing.
She shrugged about the commentary about books, they weren’t that bad but she’d rather spend her doing other things, much more interesting thing like redecorating the castle, again, checking the town for inspiration and practicing makeup and trying on dresses, she didn’t mind books, they were just not her favorite thing.
“Well, if I look like a clown we are not leaving!” she answered at Babette’s teasing but smiled, she trusted her friend not to do that to her and she was right to, she loved what Babette had done to her eyes, they looked wonderful! She looked at Babette suddenly noticing she was probably waiting for her to say something “… I suppose it works, but let us leave before it gets too late.”
“Ohh, I have been needing some new necklaces!” She finished the swipe of eyeliner that completed the cat-eye look and looked for some eye shadow. “Most of my jewlrey is a bit ‘outdated’, sadly.” With a small pout, she began to lightly brush the light pink eye shadow. “Any where else? I think that Audrey mentioned that the old book store downtown changed owners.” She placed the eye shadow back in the bag and took out a some blush and foundation. “Do you think they would have changed it much?”
“Well zen, we will ‘ave to fix it, especially after what happened wid Lumiere, you need to look your best!” she tried to take a peak at the makeup while Babette searched for the eye shadow but she was too quick for her to be able to see something “Oh” she said curiously hearing about the book store “Ze Mistress is ze one who normally reads zem but I suppose we could see if zere is somezing zere. And I need to see all ze Valentines decoration, need to make sure ze castle is ze best looking place around.”
