"All right then," Ellie said, pleased. She hadn't had company on a shopping trip in a long while. There had been times when a few of her sisters would go out together and make a game of seeing who could find the most tempting outfit, and while she didn't expect the Sphinx to go in for such things, it could be fun to take turns modeling attractive clothing for one another (and if any passing males happened to get an eyeful, well, so much the better.) "When would you like to go? I'm free...pretty much anytime." She wrinkled her nose expressively. In between peril-fraught trips to look for her errant offspring and the occasional Manor crisis, her life of late had been dull, dull, dull.
