SPOILER!!: Claudiiiine

Ashley Fox was a woman whose life revolved around the last minute. Last minute planning, last minute working, last minute thinking... so when Claudine texted her to change their meeting place, she was hardly upset. She was running five minutes late, anyways. Unfortunately Claudine hadn't been able to come to her birthday party... so Ash was extra excited to see her today.

She discreetly apparated from an alleyway into another alleyway and strode into King's Cross Station. She got a few long looks from people as she walked by. Firstly, Ash was quite beautiful, and doubly so when she was happy. She looked radiant today in her pretty dress and with a smile on her face- Ash had not had any reason to smile until the past year or so, but now she smiled all the time. Secondly, Ash had a very distinctive appearance. She had nine tattoos, mostly purple, and also just carried a different look about her. She stood out. Third of all, Ash's book had recently been nominated for a new author's award, and her art was attracting quite a lot of attention, and her family was quite well known (never in a good way). She wasn't a complete nobody. Ash, though, didn't notice anybody looking at her either positively or negatively. She simply wandered and walked and wobbled (her heels were high, you see) and twirled her way to the clothing store.

It wasn't as if Claudine wouldn't have recognized Ashley- how could one ever fail to recognize Ashley- but she still announced her presence with a "Claudiiiine!" and a smile that could possibly blind everyone in the immediate vicinity and also a few impressive but worrying happy-jumps-in-heels. "It's so good to see you. How are you? And Heath? And your baby?" Ash was very interested in hearing about Claudine's future son. She wasn't sure if Claudine would accept a hug, but she was happy to give one if allowed.

Ash loved Claudine so much. It hadn't exactly been that way at first sight- after all, Claudine had found her quite annoying and bold at first, but after The Room and their shared love of art they had been very close. Plus, Claudine knew what it was like to have a bad family life. Ash would do anything for Heath and Claudine and future baby, and she made sure they knew it. Her eye drifted to the racks of baby clothes that Claudine was looking at. "You know what I heard is a good color for babies? Purple." Claudine likely knew this already, but Ash liked the color purple very very much. She couldn't help but suggest it. "Also, dinosaurs." No, that was not a color at all. But it was a thing that babies liked!

"Did I already say that it's great to see you?" Ashley asked earnestly. "Because it is." It was probably annoying and bothersome to hear that over and over again, but Ashley meant it the most sincerely. She wanted to make sure her friends felt loved and supported, even if she went about it in an overly talkative way.

SPOILER!!: Claudiiiine Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 On this fine day in May, Claudine had messaged Ash at the last minute to change their meeting place. The woman, now five months pregnant, had only just thrown up her lunch - right before she left the Scamander Zoo where she worked as a vet. It wasn’t the first, it wouldn’t be the last time that she vomited during the course of this pregnancy. Said pregnancy had come as a shock to her since it had been her goal to have her children until her late twenties but things happened. The baby growing in her had made Heath exceptionally happy and her boyfriend’s happiness was contagious. So now Claudine was determined to do everything right to produce a very healthy baby. However, today seems to be a day which threatened that determination as there didn’t seem to be anything that wanted to stay in her stomach; she hoped things got better in an hour or two. Aside from that, Claudine didn’t think she would be able to stand the scent of any food. Which was how she ended up at King’s Cross as opposed to The Leaky Cauldron. Making sure to stay clear of the restaurants and coffee shop, she had entered one of the clothing shops. A new hobby the woman had picked up was clothes shopping for her unborn son.
