Her father was taking care if business and told her to get some suitable gowns for Pippa. He was not spending any of Pippa's money until she could decide for herself how much spending was in order. He told her to pick out a few options of practical, mourning dresses, though not just that, some with color too, she was passed the time needed to wear black. It had been a year at least since she boarded ship and ran to England. He told her to accessorize with a straw hat, simply trimmed, and black felt with black ribbon. Pippa could choose when she was ready.

She was admiring a claret colored fabric that would look beautiful on Pippa. Tobi was relieved that her friend was alive but she was not allowed to be alone with her yet... Pippa was in an unfortunate situation and had cleary been badly affected by the murders. People did not understand and it bothered Tobi greatly. She sighed and decided to get a green fabric instead because red would not meet approval from her father only because of the delicate situation.

She sighed and wrote down, a list maker of the ocd veriety. She moved three steps to the left. She, herself, was well put together and could clearly afford better than what she looked at.
