"Hello, Mina," said Lucy as she entered the maids' sleeping compartment and saw her best friend appearing to wear little more than a smile. "You didn't have to dress like that for me."
"I didn't dress like this for you," said Mina, still blushing about having nothing to wear except an invisible dress. "I dressed like this because this is the only type of clothing your maids gave me."
Lucy glanced up and down at Mina and said, "Well, however you got it, it sure fits you well."
"Fits me well?" asked Mina. "I might as well be stark naked."
"Oh, relax," said Lucy. "I'll have the maids get you something more substantial to wear in the morning. In the meantime, do you wish an escort to your sleeping compartment?"
"Are you kidding?" asked Mina. "I'm not leaving here dressed like this."
"Oh, well," said Lucy. "You can just stay here for tonight then. Anyway, I probably need to go across the hall to my own sleeping compartment before I get another headache. Care to come with me and help me undress for the night, Tara?"
"Aye, Mistress Westenra," said Tara. "Do you wish me to bring anything with me? Candles? Scented soaps? Perfume? You-know-whats?"
"No, I won't need any of that tonight, I'm afraid," said Lucy. "But I do hope you bring some rope. I have a feeling you're going to have to tie me up when I go to bed."
Tara just stared at Lucy and said, "What? Again?"
