An estate sale? Well those could certainly be a hit or miss. Either a lot to win, or a lot of money wasted for a loss. Oh well, it wasn’t her investing her own money in the sales. “That’s interesting. A fair bit of the houses here in Versailles can be described as museums, if I’m honest. Especially with some of the older vampires refusing to let go of the old.” Just like herself, in many ways. Still stuck in the days of old. Days of old when she traveled france with her lover, her maker. These days? Not so much. “And it’s been properly cleaned? Or will we need to send it in for work to ensure we show it as it was created?” Irene could be strict, such was unfortunately the truth about the brunette. “Of course it’d look gorgeous on me, have you seen me in anything that I failed to wear?”
estate sales were kind of like playing the lottery. there were good ones and there were bad ones. maddie had been going to them long enough that she rarely went to a sale that didn’t have amazing finds. a lot of her clients loved vintage, repurposed furniture, so she liked to keep a good stock. “tell me about it. it’s a shame not every person cares so much about preserving history,” she frowned. “there’s nothing i love more than seeing something from the past that has been well taken care of or at least to some extent.” some things she found weren’t always in the greatest condition, but it wasn’t impossible to have things restored. “i mean, that’s not really my job. i buy it, i sell it. i don’t care much what happents before, after or in between,” maddie shrugged her shoulders. she took a sip of her wine and stared at irene’s glass of blood with narrowed eyes. she understood keeping business professional, but there would have been no harm in the vampire feeding from her. “no ma’am, i’m fairly certain you could make a burlap sack look elegant.”
