Abbey Randelle: **Standing 5'6, Abbey
is beyond graceful, sliding like a ghost from place to place, each movement
purposeful and smooth. At 19 years, She's thin and lithe, built like a gymnast,
with long slender legs and a willowy frame, just budding with svelte curves. Her
Slender build is contrasted by a thick white woolen overcoat, that hangs just
above the knees of white satin pants, tailored perfectly. Her hair is fashioned
into a wispy pageboy, and from under the starkly white mass of thin strands
stare two unwavering grey eyes, set into a pale triangular face. The only real
color of note is that of her lips , which curl up in the corners as though she's
enjoying some private joke. She's a picture of purity and class, voice never
above a murmer. (app4-pure)**
Abbey Randelle: *she stands at a counter,
waiting patiently as the clerk and a manager speak about something a few feet
away, shuffling through paper work. The long case down her back would be a
hazard were it not so carefully kept track of amidst the displays and
breakables*
Annika Brandt: She steps into the store,
pausing and stepping aside to let Tatiana in after her. The girl is Somewhere in
her mid-twenties, Annika stands at 5’7” before any heels or lifts come into
play. She cuts an attractive frame if you’re in to the Aryan look – and how. Her
hair is fine and straight, a pale blonde with several shades vying for
attention. The highlights, entirely natural, are nearly white. Full lips, high
cheekbones, strong bones, arched eyebrows laying serious and light over blue
eyes that gleam with intelligence and clarity. Her skin is fair, all of its
summer tan quick to fade under the slightest hint of approaching winter. Her
hands are slim, nails a maintained oval. She walks like a woman that knows how
to take care of herself, and her bright blue eyes, pale with the promise of a
fresh autumn dawn, are almost always attentive. She’s dressed well but not
richly in all black...boots, pants, and shirt...practical clothes fitted to her
form. [Pure Breed 5]
Annika Brandt: ((Delete first sentance.
:P))
Annika Brandt: ((Actually, don't. Ignore
me. Post stands as complete.))
Abbey Randelle: *Grey eyes slide to the
door, and linger a moment as she adjusts the strap of her blade case, gaze
flicking over the girl who entered with mild interest. A muted curl of pale
lips, polite, before she folds her hands in front of her and looks to the
manager approaching*
Tatiana Brandt: She is a mirror image of
Annika - except for one, simple detail. Where Annika wears solidly black, and
pants, Tanja wears solidly white. Her clothes are made is a nod back to
tradition started in the shadow of the black forest, but updated, somewhat more
modern. A knee length skirt, white boots for the sake of practicality, a long
sleeved white shirt. White. Entirely.
Annika Brandt: She looks Abbey over, calm
blue eyes examining the young woman at the counter for a long moment,
appraising, as Tatiana enters. She inclines her head toward the woman slightly,
her expression cool, the slightest of acknowledgments to her.
Abbey Randelle: *Another glance as a
flash of Tatiana's cpale clothing draws her attention, white eyebrow arching
upwards a moment. The Albino regards the twins, a polite smile to tatiana as
well before keen grey eyes spot an error, which she points out to the manager
taking care of her* It will Urgahaldt madam. ~Urgahaldt~. *its a murmer as she
spells ot again quietly* U-r-g-a-h-a-l-d-t.
Annika Brandt: She starts to move out, but
pauses as she hears the name spoken. Her eyes shoot to Abbey, and then back to
Tanja, brow raising. An unspoken communication from one twin to the other.
Ingvar.
Tatiana Brandt: A brief glance passes from
Annika to the skinny, if graceful, albino. Her smile is polite but distant, and
she comes to a stop just beside her other.
Tatiana Brandt: A very faint nod to Annika
at that. Only slight gestures really -need- to pass between them, mostly
unspoken.
Annika Brandt: A slight nod, and she
turns, moving toward Abbey, this strange creature who speaks their Warder's
name. She approaches at Tatiana's side, coming up a few feet short, giving Abbey
time to finish her business with the merchant.
Abbey Randelle: *a pale hand takes the
offered pen and signs the form she's presented with, slight darkness around her
wrists barely perceptable above the cuff of her coat. She murmers thank you and
sets the pen down while the woman scurries to the back to get something else. A
slight pinch of her lips at the woman's incompetance. Grey eyes glance up at the
twins as they approach her, her hand slipping casually to the strap of her blade
case. a polite curve of lips as she steps out of there way to allow them at the
counter* Good afternoon.
Tatiana Brandt: "Good afternoon," she
answers. Tanja does not speak in a whisper, a murmur, or any other soft and
humbled voice. She speaks directly. Firmly. Not without politeness, and a
certain unspoken regard for this smaller, younger woman. She stands side by side
with her twin, the same that's guarded (more or less)...Her posture isn't noble
- it's disciplined, and there is most definitely a difference.
Annika Brandt: "Good afternoon." She
smiles to Abbey, lowering her head slightly in a polite inclination. She takes
the initative to extend the greeting further. "This is Taitana Brandt, and I am
Annika, her sister. A pleasure to meet you, Miss...?"
Annika Brandt: ((Smiles faintly. Gaah,
damn missed words.))
Abbey Randelle: *Ah. Introductions is it?
A deceptively delicate hand is extended with practiced grace to Annika, and then
Tatiana in turn, girl all poise and decorum, even in such odd circumstances*
Abbey Randelle. A pleasure to meet you both. *polite smile, muted and proper. *
Annika Brandt: "A pleasure, Miss Abbey
Randelle." She looks at the hand a moment before shaking it. A formality she has
quickly learned the use of. "Apologies for overhearing, but we happened to hear
a familiar name...Mr. Urgahaldt?" She tilts her head a little to the side. "I
would assume this to be Ingvar?" Practiced formality, politeness.
Tatiana Brandt: After Annika, she takes
Abbey's hand. She looks like the type that would normally shake - an honest and
firm gesture. Instead, she takes Abbey's hand as offered, tilting slightly to
actually hear the murmur. Abbey's hand is released easily, and soon. She keeps
her sister's tone, though in trying to -hear- Abbey properly, she's not an exact
mirror just now. "Our pleasure, Miss Randelle." Annika seems to have voiced her
own curiosity as well - or else she's simply the more reserved of the two.
Abbey Randelle: *The hand is
exceptionally pale, only color of note a small silver looking ring, with a good
sized marquee diamond flanked by two smaller rubies. She shakes both hands
lightly and folds her hands in front of herself again, murmering* Why yes, Miss
Brandt. That is the Urgahalt to which i refer. If I might be so bold.. Are you
an associate?
Tatiana Brandt: Her smile warms
marginally, largely still polite and similar. She nods once, and only once.
"Yes, of a sort," she begins, and allows her sister to continue.
Annika Brandt: "Of a sort, yes," she
intones calmly, hands coming to rest in front of her, folded together with both
palms turned inward. "Mr. Urgahaldt is...sponsoring us while in the city for
schooling."
Abbey Randelle: *a thin white eyebrow
raises, manager still plugging something into a computer system* Of course. *she
murmers, slight chill enveloping her as the pale girl tilts her head up
slightly. A polite smile. perhaps slightly more muted then before* Mr. Urgahaldt
is a generous man. What is it you are receiving schooling for, if I might
inquire?
Annika Brandt: A corresponding pale brow
goes up a tiny bit at the woman's reaction...otherwise, her face shows nothing
but politeness. "You may, of course. General studies at this time, from Columbia
University...we have not decided on a specific course of study yet." A moment
passes for that to sink in, before continuing. "If I may so ask, Miss
Randelle...how do you know Mr. Urgahaldt?"
Abbey Randelle: Mr. Urgahaldt and I are
engaged to be married. *She murmers, eyes meeting Annikas. the manager brings
further paperwork, and abbey glances to her, then back to the twins* A moment,
if you please. *she half turns, making a few selections with short check marks,
and signing her name in elegant calligraphy. A polite quirk of lips to the Clerk
as she murmers thank you*
Tatiana Brandt: Tatiana looks with
polite curiosity to Abbey, feeling no apparent need to add on to Annika's
summary just now. At that answer, a look of understanding dawns into her eyes
only - her expression doesn't much change. Abbey's busy a moment - she sends a
glance back to her twin, arching up a white-blond brow and smoothing the wry
look again.
Annika Brandt: "I see." She looks over to
Tatiana, a brief flick of the eyes, as Abbey turns away from them. A slight tilt
of the head, perhaps a slight furrowing of the brow and another unspoken
statement there, before she looks back. "Congratulations are in order, then."
Tatiana Brandt: "Yes," she agrees,
slightly softer voiced. "You are a lucky bride to be. Congradulations." Simply,
but genuinely spoken. Another glance between them. From Annika, out elsewhere
into the store, then back to Abbey.
Abbey Randelle: *she swivels back to them
once done, hands drifting back to clasp in front of her* Thank you, Miss Brandt.
*that apparently goes for both of them,from the slight inclination of her head
to Tatiana and Annika in turn* I shall mention your sentiments to Mr. Urgahalt.
*oh she'll mention more than that to the treacherous hungarian bastard...*
Annika Brandt: "Thank you, Miss Randelle."
She inclines her head slightly before it returns to that disciplined, straight
postured stance. "Apologies for holding you up...it has been a pleasure to meet
you. I trust that we will see each other again in the future."
Tatiana Brandt: "Our thanks," she offers
politely. And yet, honestly. Go fig. Tanja's hands clasp before her much like
her sister's have already, and she inclines her head, then straightens once
more. A momentary pause, and a very slight, harmless smile. "We would be remiss
to delay you any longer..."
Abbey Randelle: Indeed, delightful to meet
you both as well. May you have a pleasant afternoon. Good day. *She takes a
measured step back before turning on her heel, and gliding gracefully from the
boutique, long line of her blade case swaying slightly on her back as the chill
socialite slips out into manhatten*
Annika Brandt: She nods and steps back to
let Abbey pass by, then looks to Tatiana a moment, before turning to head toward
their original intended destination.
Tatiana Brandt: She mirrors Annika's
gesture, stepping the opposite way to open this space. They seem to in time with
each other. A brief nod in silence, and after Abbey's passed she begins to head
off with her sister into the shop for real.
