Where: Outside Thaddeus’s place
Inviting Thaddeus to be her dinner companion had been a last minute plan, after it was suggested to Adelita, that her lack of love life was beginning to inspire whispers once again. Adelita had been a single since the beginning over her reign as Priestess almost thirteen years prior. She had made an effort to date regularly, all of her dates being handsome and having a sterling reputation in town, but none had stuck. Adelita’s love was her coven; dating as a mere inconvenience. It wasn’t like Adelita didn’t have needs... but the last time she had acted on those urges, well she had suffered consequences harsh enough to put anyone off dating. But it was time. Adelita knew it, and apparently so did other people.
Thaddeus’s and Adelita’s date a year ago had been pleasant enough, he was handsome and seemed a genuinely good guy, but it had lacked... chemistry. This wasn’t off putting to the woman who dated more for show than much else, but with the mist and everything else, Adelita had sort of... fallen out of contact with him, and Thaddeus hadn’t seemed especially keen to pursue further contact either. Still, he was available and had said yes, so Adelita was confident that the date would go well.
That evening, Adelita wore a simple, rich navy blue one shouldered, floor length gown. On her feet she wore matching satin pointed shoes with stiletto heel, back bow detailing and ankle strap fastening. For jewellery she still wore her Helka’s Own ring, a simple diamond bracelet and studs in her ears. The dark curls were secured into a sleek, ornate bun at the back of her head. It was a simple yet expensive outfit, selected for it’s simplicity, relying on the shape of her willowy figure for aesthetic. She of course knew Thaddeus would be dressed in a way that coordinated with her outfit, and if by chance the man did go off script... well, in truth she had left a couple of tie options and cuff links with her driver... just in case.
As the long dark car pulled up outside Thaddeus’s home, and one of her guards slipped out the front to go and strode up to the front door and knocked. Adelita herself remained inside the car, speaking softly to one of her advisors on one phone, while texting at the same time on another. Despite her beautiful evening attire, from the stern expression, she looked more like she was working, than excited to attend a dinner party in her free time.
