Vil did not use the word lightly but in that moment, her hunter was beautiful. Rook beamed with joy, utterly captured by her own reflection, not even noticing the other presence watching from the doorway.
The skirt she wore wasn’t anything special, just the standard school’s dark grey with a yellow strip along the bottom. She had been specific when she ordered it, down past her knees as according to her ‘a short skirt would expose too much’.
Not that it mattered, her joy wearing it in the first place was enough to warrant anything she wanted.
Black tights hugged at her exposed calves, the material thick and opaque and leading to her preferred beige boots, the laces tied carefully and tightly. The purple vest she now wore was buttoned up entirely, hugging at the proud figure slowly forming with the help of her treatments.
All of that only added to the beauty she made as she spun, giggling to herself in the mirror as she smiled so hard it looked painful. Her newly short hair bounced, the curls hugging her face, the freckles splattered on her nose brought to mind the sun she shone brighter than.
Unfortunately, as much as she would like to quietly bask in Rook’s joy, they both still had classes. With a quiet sigh, Vil knocked gently on the doorframe.
Rook startled slightly, spinning around to face her, grin softening upon seeing her. Green eyes flickered with unreadable emotions before landing on pure delight.
“Ah! Reine du poison! Je vous prie de m'excuser!” she greeted, walking up to the other girl immediately “Are you ready?”
After a moment to catch her breath, Vil nodded.
“I was simply waiting on you my dear hunter,” she replied smoothly. The blonde’s smile widened once again, a laugh escaping her before she reached over to her dresser to place her hat on her head.
“Well then, Allons-y alors!” her arm hooked around Vil’s, gently tugging her along. With an easy smile, Vil followed, walking perfectly in step with her dearest hunter.
If she silently basked in the other girls joy for the rest of the day… then that was no ones business but hers.
