Anne has developed womanly curves

Anne was able to get into her skirt and blouse, for she hadn't grown any taller, but they hugged her body in ways they hadn't before and made her quite uncomfortable. She'd seen women wearing these sorts of things before and while they did look quite glamorous, in dresses of a proper cut, Anne could never imagine dressing herself quite so provocatively. Still, she hadn't really any choice in the matter until she went up to the compound to get some new clothes, so she did just that.

She felt she did not go unnoticed on her way there, though perhaps that was just her overactive imagination; in actual fact, most of the people she passed on her way were quite young, like Ray and Constable Fraser and Horatio had been. She did wonder in passing who they might be, and whether she knew them or not, but she kept her goal firmly in mind. Once she was properly dressed again, then she could concern herself with the other matters at hand.

The beige pants struck Anne as truly unflattering, but the skirt was knee-length. Of the two, Anne though the skirt the much better choice regardless, and took it from him gratefully. There was another issue, but Anne wasn't at all sure how to bring it up with Ray without one of them becoming embarrassed or awkward. She supposed if it came down to it, she could survive for a few days without underclothes, but she'd just as soon not.

"Um..." she said, and found herself in one of those rare occasions where she was at a loss for words.

Ray wondered what else she could possibly need and then suddenly it occured to him. Agh! Why me? He moved away from the box and sighed, rubbing his temples. He couldn't wait for Anne to go back to being young and sisterly.

"Maybe you ought to go back to looking?"

"Perhaps that would be best," agreed Anne, with a sigh of relief. She wasn't even sure how she would know if what she found would fit her new proportions. All she knew for certain was that what she currently possessed had been too restrictive to even put on that morning.

Ray moved away to give her some privacy to look for... Whatever. He didn't want to think about it. He examined the washer and dryer units with intense interest. Weird-ass island. "So. Uh. Have you had breakfast?"

"Oh, I hadn't even though of it!" admitted Anne, as she dug through the clothing with something approaching desperation. "It's been such a very strange morning, I wonder if anyone thought to cook. If not, perhaps we should make something. I might not be prepared to cook, but I can certainly chop fruit and pour milk and tea."

She finally pulled out a rather flimsy looking brassiere that she thought might be adequate, and tucked it away with the rest of the clothing they'd found.

"That's true," Ray mumbled in agreement, still looking elsewhere. "I can make eggs or pancakes or whatever. That's not hard." Breakfast was probably the easiest meal to make.

"Oh, I'm certain that would be more than adequate," said Anne, wrapping the clothing into a neat bundle and standing up again. "If you'll excuse me a moment, I need to find a private spot to change my clothing. I'm certain I'll be much better company once I do."

"Sure, sure," Ray said quickly. "I'll wait for you in like...the kitchen." He really didn't want to deal with the jukebox just yet.
