After a few weeks Sinthia found herself relaxing to the idea of going out with Illya somewhere--and why not? She hadn't heard anything out of the ordinary from anyone, and she was getting tired of having to exist between work, her apartment, and physical therapy without any break to the three locations. So when Illya had seen an advertisement for an Italian fashion museum exhibit she was more than happy to go with him.

She even let him pick through her closet, something she knew he enjoyed, while she was in the shower, just to see what he came up with. He made a surprisingly good personal consultant for such things, picking out dark jeans and a Cavalli silk tunic in cool teal-y green. "Some day I should go and pick out your clothes for you," she teased, getting dressed before they headed out to her car.
