2nd Floor Common Room, Saturday Morning

[crimson_sister]

Let's not go into detail about Lucille's reaction when she had woken up this morning. Let's just say she had been wondering at first whether this was a particularly strange nightmare. Waking up in a male body, and also discovering that she looked exactly like her brother, only about the same age as herself, had been, to say the least, disturbing.

Sha had managed to keep quiet, because she was good at that.

Then she discovered that she had nothing to wear, as her dresses didn't fit her (him? She was going to be confused about pronouns today), and the only thing that was wearable was a long dressing gown. She considered staying in her room, but eventually she got hungry, so she quietly snaked into the common room, hoping to be able to grab some breakfast before anyone noticing.

"Please," Lucille replied. "That would be very kind of you. I have a harpsichord lesson later today, and I can hardly go like this."

And although it would be embarrassing showing up like this at Dr Lecter's, it would be worse not to show up at all.

"Pants and a loose shirt?" Mara asked. "A long jacket?"

[crimson_sister]

"I believe that would suit me well," Lucille replied. "Again, it is very generous of you."

She wasn't usually this grateful, but this was a very special situation.

Mara stood up and gave her a small smile. "I'll be back in a little while," she said. "It's good to keep these under your bed for the rest of your time here, though. This place is weird."

"I will keep this in mind." Lucille hoped this would not happen again, but at least having clothes that fit would make it just slightly less awkward.
