Originally Posted by Squishy Even though Lux knew that Ana was joking, she pretended that her friend was being totally serious. "I don't think I will EVER be a proper lady." Dramatic sigh and a few sniffles thrown in. But seriously though, she wondered how Ana managed to do it. Even with the bit of advice, it still seemed almost impossible; with wide eyes, she stared at the four inch heels. "If I tried those, I would break something, I just know it." Heel related accidents were very much a reality for Lux. "So basically, I need all the help I can get."
Oh, awesome. She had remembered something correctly. Though, she wasn't sure how much of that had been memory, and how much of it had been logic... Regardless, the girl was proud of herself. "That is totally understandable, I wouldn't want to look like either of my grandmothers, even though I love them." If Ana was lucky, she would age like her Babushka.
The cucumber sandwich theory made Lux laugh and shake her head. "You might be on to something there. Bay tried to eat one last term, and he threw it up." So long story short, she had learned her lesson and never asked him to eat one since that day. It was a good thing that he hadn't gotten mad at her over it, because she felt terrible and didn't want Bay angry at her. "But Louis, Lucas, and Sander like them! Sander's brother Cris doesn't though." Oh well. That was life. "My birthday was great! I had a lot of fun though I missed seeing you there." It was okay though; Lux totally understood. "Ehh, proper ladies are boring," Ana declared as Lux went along with the joke, patting her back in fake sympathy when she pretended to sniffle. "You'll be much better off if you never become one," because to do so would likely stifle Lux's personality. All the 'proper ladies' Ana had meant really seemed to just be uptight and repressed with no real personality. Or at least if they had one most people didn't get to see it. "No," Ana said, wincing at the thought of Lux breaking something because she tried to wear Ana's heels, something that had almost happened to Katya this Summer. "That's why you wouldn't start out wearing these shoes. You'd start with a thicker heel as well, or a boot to give better stability." Walking in heels was an art. Unfortunately not everyone could master it. All it really took though was time, patience and practice. "Well of course not. You're still a young girl," Ana agreed almost calling Lux a child but avoiding doing so. At Lux's age Ana certainly hadn't thanked anyone that caller her a child. Especially not people who were only a few years her senior. "I do look a lot like my babushka though. There are pictures from when she was young and I could almost be her doppelgänger!" Which amused her to no end since it proved that she was her fathers daughter. Something which a few family members had doubted after her parents divorce and her mamushka hastily remarried.
Ana nodded sympathetically, Lux having told her about Bay's experience with cucumber sandwiches last term after it happened. Ana had been inclined to laugh at the story but Lux's sad and worried face had stopped the laughter before it could rise in her throat. Clearly she still felt somewhat guilty about it. "Finally! Some boys with sense!" Her theory might not be correct, and them liking cucumber sandwiches proved it, although they could be the exception too it, she was glad that there were other people that saw the beauty of a cucumber sandwich. "I'm glad you had a good day sweetheart," she said, her tone earnest as she brushed some hair out of her face. "Hopefully next year I'll be able to make it if you have a party."
