Electra shrugged. "Eh, it wasn't too bad. Had an accident, and some shifty costumers after that, but it worked out. Though, wouldn't you like a break for just a couple of hours honey? I get off in an hour or so. Do you like jazz at all? You're new in town, and I'd like to show you around a little." She hoped her mothering instinct was not coming out too strong.

Bombalurina appeared to be surprised by the young girl's nearly motherly remark, finding it ironic she was probably a year or two her junior, but smiled good naturedly all the same.
"Jazz," She stated, a reminiscent edge to her husky tone, "Its the lullaby of the gods you know. Its very kind of you to ask...I suppose I should go home and change." She chuckled softly, glancing down at her usual work attire.

Electra raised her eyebrows at the description of Jazz, and then nodded happily. "There's a place off seventh that's good for that sort of thing. Would you like to meet here again in an hour and half? If you want to go of course, I hope I'm not being too pushy..."

"No, actually..." The scarlet queen looked slightly flushed, a wavering embarrassment besting her, "I appreciate it. It'll be nice to know a friendly face..."

Electra smiled at the other. "Great." She glanced at the clock above the store to check the time and nodded to herself.

"So, where shall we meet then?" Bombalurina's green eyes sparkled excitedly, a gentle smile lighting her fine features.

"Well, it's on Seventh Street, so do you know where the... actually, would you mind coming back here in an hour and half? We can go from here, it's not that far." Electra's smile wouldn't leave her face.

The scarlet queen before the young shopkeep returned her smile happily, an impressively pretty grin flickering on her features.
"I look forward to i-Oh! I'm sorry," Bombalurina offered her paw gently, slightly unsure of herself, "Bombalurina Piper, though anything from Bombi onwards is fine."

Electra blinked and flushed a little. She reached out to take the other's paw. "Electra Peirce. It's very nice to meet you... Bombi." Her grin returned.

"Electra, right..." She nodded affirmatively, bashfully toying with the ends of her long hair, "Is there anything in particular I should...you know, get dressed up for? I haven't been out to any Jazz place for a while."

Electra shrugged. "Whatever you feel comfortable in honey. It's a pretty laid back place, but I really enjoy the music there."

Bombalurina smiled goodnaturedly, though feeling a subtle twinge in her stomach at the mention of music she so very loved, but seemed several lifetimes ago since she'd become vulnerable to its allures.
"Sounds lovely kit, I'll see you back here in an hour then..." The scarlet queen waved a paw in momentary parting, eager to return and get some much needed relaxation time.
((Harness the mighty power of Time skippage perhaps?))

((Indeed! And then I was thinking we could move them over to the speakeasy after a few more posts.))
Electra had mostly closed up the shop by the time Bombi had said she would return, and had changed out of her work clothes into the much shorter dress, pulling her longer strand of pearls out as well. She tapped her foot as she waited, deciding to wait inside and lock up when the other got there, rather than stand out in the cold. She pulled her hat down a little farther, eying the weather outside.

Bombalurina crossed the damp streets, dusting some overhead water from her shoulder fur as she re-entered the store. She'd gotten home and changed in one smooth circuit, choosing a tastefully black dress, which on anyother cat would look bland. With her shocking red fur and more then ample figure, she hated the way she stood out even in the simple, slinky frock. Disregarding the fact she had nothing else to wear, she had slipped it on, quickly returning to slink through she shop as she was now. Bombalurina smiled brightly as she saw Electra, giving her a subtly shy wave.
"Hi, back again..."

"Ah!" Electra said, jumping up from where she'd been leaning against the counter. "Hello." She eyed the other cat and smiled. "You look lovely. Are you ready to go? All I have to do it lock up."
