torn threads & river beds

Bonjour mes amis, ma name est Adelaide Suret, mais you can just call me Ade. I am from a small town in zhe heart of zhe Bayou. I work as a travellin' seamtress an' tailor. While zhe Bayou will always be ma home, I travel very far for work, an' if you cannot afford to pay me, I am always willing to work for any service you can provide, whether it be a meal or a story. I do not mean to brag, but I play a very mean fiddle, an' I will always be glad to join in on a song ou two... ou three! I collect stories like others collect... scars, nowadays, an' if you have something to tell, I will always have something to share. Zhese are hard times... pour everyone, mes amis. Mais le Bayou breeds hard an' sturdy people, an' zhey will have to put me in ma grave before I let ces saludes break me down. Zhis may be war, mais peace will come soon enough, I tell you zhat... #rebeltailor.

Adelaide heard the bells above the front door chime, alerting her of someone walking into her store.  Setting down the embroidery hoop and needle, she smoothed out the wrinkles in her cotton dress.  The day was already humid and she predicted that it would only get hotter as the sun rose higher.  She was grateful for the raschel knit lace that made up the top yoke and sleeves of the dress.  Ade poked her head around the corner to see a pretty girl standing in the doorway, looking about and as lost as a lamb.  Ade put on her best southern belle smiled and stepped forward.  ”Bienvenue, mademoiselle, ‘ow may ah help you?”  She twisted her hair back out of her face with one hand as she held out the other in introduction

Em’s head snapped to look at the woman, eyes raking from her outstretched hand up to her smiling face. She smiled back, taking the woman’s hand in hers, adjusting the bag of ill-fitting clothes with the other. “Uh, yeah, hi. I’ve got some clothes that need to be tailored. Think you can help?”

Ade smiled politely as she eyed the bag the girl carried with her.  She nodded, motioning for the young woman to hand it over.  "Oui, ah can do zhat.  Jus' set zhem down an' let me take your measurements."  She reached into her pockets and pulled out a measuring tape.  "Do you need zhem back by any time?"  Judging by the size of the back, she thought it might take two weeks, granted she didn't get any other large garment requests.

Adelaide is always flirty, and she likes to have similar attention on herself, but she usually does not act on what she seems to promise.  She has a natural distrust of men, and while she will sleep and be friendly with them, takes what they say with a grain of salt.  She is bisexual with a leaning towards women, and so is more friendly towards women.
