[The question has Diva cocking her head to the side as she takes stock of the gowns on display. Ah...weddings. Too bad she can't have one of her own.]
Well, I like wearing white. [Which she's doing right now, although it's accented with blue.] The one on the left is a bit much, but that one over there doesn't look like a bride would wear it.
[Taking Diva's comments into consideration, she ultimately nods in agreement. Although she generally prefers wearing lighter colors for a clean, classy look, today her outfit reflects her mood. A deep, dark purple for her clouded frustration. As Claudia puts the rejected dress back on the rack, she sighs.]
Thank you for taking the time to join me. It's been such a troubling time. Have you seen the network, recently?
[Which is the truth. Diva's needy for attention and she'll take it from anyone who'll give it. Even better is when it's given by someone she's fond of.]
Oh. Oh...yes. I have.
[She'd seen Lestat's return on the network and had been none too pleased by it. However, she'd opted to ignore his presence. It didn't seem like he remembered much of anything...not that that changed how Diva felt about him.]
[The mention of Tsurugi having left her has Diva's expression darkening momentarily at the trauma she'd been through recently. Those who ran the program didn't know what they were doing at all. He never should've left in the first place...but at least he'd returned.]
It's true. They clearly need to sort themselves out.
[Lestat returning though...she can only imagine how Claudia must feel about that.]
He seemed somewhat less awful, from what I saw of him on the network. Do you think it was an act?
[And here, of course, is the main issue. Claudia frowns, forgetting the dress in her arms completely as she considers the question.]
In all honesty, I don't know.
[She knows Lestat well--or so she likes to think. Or so she thought. But her lifetime was much shorter than his, or Louis'. Her intense stare moves up toward Diva.]
It isn't like him to be so...self-deprecating.
[Even in acting, he was always still so charming. So aware of his assets.]
It didn't feel like an act. But it didn't feel like him, either. I haven't made up my mind.

[Not a terrible loss, in her opinion, but the important thing is she knows how upset Diva was about it.]
--which, of course, was an error thankfully remedied. Me losing my own submissive, again, and of all the people to bring back...
[Her father. Why? Again? Their conversation still hung over her like an omen.]
I just don't know what to think of it all.
