"Only lucky, Jack? That is what you want me to be?" Turning herself and her attention towards the bags Reinette found the old banter flowed in a way she might not have expected moments before. "Of all the things I might be in such a situation, I can think of a great many more that a far more intriguing."
There was a glance over her shoulder, a far too innocent smile.
"But if that is what you prefer? Of course. Lucky."
After Jack's departure Reinette turned her attention to the task at hand and could not help but be slightly overwhelmed. There were more colors and styles within the bag than outside them. A great many in fabrics and styles that were completely unknown to her.
In the end she settled on a dress. While it was still not what she was accustomed to, it at least harked to what she had already managed for London. A soft rose shade and made of prettily finished cotton it wrapped around her before tying neatly at one hip. Other than some embroidery against a finished collar, there were no other adornments.
Jack had been equally thorough with undergarments, and Reinette suspected he deliberately at least gave her some things she would find familiar. There were stockings again, the same style of belt from before. She chose those briskly as well as leather shoes with a small heel.
There might be hair pins somewhere in the bags still unexplored, but Reinette chose to keep her hair down in favor of time as she rejoined Jack in the other room.
