Accidental Video ; Canon Bump

[eldesthatter]

[Through the wonder that is community magic, Sophie's magic book has been propped open and has started recording. Sophie is seated at a work table, with an array of decorated hats set before her. She lifts one hat and smiles.]

You have a mysterious allure. [She gently places the hat down and looks to a wide, creamy hat with roses under the brim.] And you are going to have to marry money.

[She adjusts a caterpillar-green straw hat with a curly green feather.] You are young as a spring leaf.

[To a group of pink bonnets:] You all have dimpled charm.

[To a few hats trimmed with velvet:] And you are very witty.

[She looks at a mushroom pleated bonnet and holds it up. She appears to feel sorry for it, but she smiles warmly.] You have a heart of gold and someone in a high position will see it and fall in love with you. [She nods confidently and sets the hat back down.

The video cuts off.]

Comments

[refinedvillian]

Thank you.

[He opens the box lid to look inside.] The second I would like for you to make for Lydia, in thanks for her help. I've provided some ribbon which should match her eyes perfectly.

[eldesthatter]

I can certainly do that. [She's more than happy to make a hat for Lydia.]

[refinedvillian]

And this hat...When you were speaking, you said the owner would have a mysterious allure, didn't you?

[eldesthatter]

I said the hat would.

[refinedvillian]

[Reaching inside, he pulls the hat out.]

The hat should match the owner, don't you think? It really is beautiful.

[eldesthatter]

That is true. Did you have someone in mind for it?

[refinedvillian]

I do. [Just as simply, he sat it down.] So I hope I'll be able to see you wear it soon.

[eldesthatter]

[She looks completely baffled.]

What?

[refinedvillian]

I thought it would fit you perfectly. I hope you'll accept it.

[eldesthatter]

Oh, but I couldn't. A hat like that is far too elegant.

[refinedvillian]

It would fit you perfectly. I thought as much when I heard your words.

[eldesthatter]

I do not mean to contradict you, sir, but I really do not think that it would.

[refinedvillian]

A mysterious allure...I think it fits you perfectly.

[eldesthatter]

But I am not mysterious at all.

[refinedvillian]

I've found you to a be a very big mystery.

[eldesthatter]

But how?

[refinedvillian]

I want to know more about you but I keep finding more questions than answers. I think it describes an intriguing mystery quiet well.

[eldesthatter]

There isn't much to know.

[refinedvillian]

[He pushes the hat toward her.] I find it difficult to believe. Please, accept the gift.

[eldesthatter]

[She takes it, and nods slowly. She doesn't want to appear rude.]

...thank you.

[refinedvillian]

I hope to see you wear it soon. You'll contact me when her hat is finished?

[eldesthatter]

Yes. Of course.

[refinedvillian]

Then I'll look forward to hearing from you. I hope you enjoy the hat.

[eldesthatter]

...Thank you.
