we aren't london, but we get our fair share.
can't blame paris for a rainy day, though. it's homely. allows for hot chocolates and irish coffees.

[proofread]

ah, so romantic. i do love a good run through the rain.

[demimondaines]

especially when you have somewhere to be, yes? somewhere to go.

[proofread]

yes, that much is true! but i do love running for the sake of it.
feeling free.

[demimondaines]

don't we all like to. feel free. but what price do you pay for it?

[proofread]

hmm. relative solitude, i suppose.
and you?

[demimondaines]

freedom isn't being afforded me.
i enjoy my hot chocolates in a very gilded cage.

[proofread]

oh, dear. a beautiful bird ought to spread her wings.

[demimondaines]

who says i'm not a boring little sparrow?

[proofread]

sparrows aren't boring at all! whatever bird you choose, i would still think you beautiful.

[demimondaines]

aren't you sweet.
i'll make myself very pretty for you next time we meet.
put feathers in my hair.

[proofread]

i would braid in flowers and feathers for you myself.

[demimondaines]

you're welcome to. i'd look a spectacle.

[proofread]

if you're unable to leave your cage... i'd at least want to bring you some shimmer and color.
and whatever else you would like.

[demimondaines]

champagne. caviar and oysters.
someone to enjoy it with.

[proofread]

it would be my pleasure,
taking part in such fancy things with you.
though... you are not afraid of the wine's effects while you're with me?

[demimondaines]

what do i have to be afraid of?

[proofread]

you said you were worried about people seeing a different you while you drank!

[demimondaines]

mm.
would you would mind seeing my real self?

[proofread]

i would love to.

[demimondaines]

then i'm not truly worried.

[proofread]

you needn't be worried with me, in this case. i would hope you are comfortable enough.

[demimondaines]

my comfort counts for little in general. the fact that it means something to you is a rarity.
believe me, i like rare things.

[proofread]

consider me a blue moon, then ✨

[demimondaines]

how poetic.
what kind of field am i, that you shine down on me?
