Serena,
I suppose, if you must. Do I have your word that if I ever require your assistance, no matter what the task, you will support me without question?
From what you've told me of him, white lace seems to be his type anyway.

Dearest Vivi,
Naturally! I'll do my level best to help you whenever I can, Vivi, after all you've done for me.
You think? I hope so. White lace is after all the only type of knickers I own. But only the best, of course––the most quality knickers galleons can buy. My mother always told me a lady must look nice down to her knickers. She never said, but now I know why.
Sincerely,
|

Serena,
Then I suppose you have my assistance. I do a lot for you, after all. Do make sure to not forget that fact.
I believe we shall have to have a shopping trip, Miss Lovelace. I've already assisted Jezebel in purchasing some acceptable undergarments. It appears you're in dire need as well.

Dearest Vivi,
Never, I promise.
Really, you want to take me shopping? That would be absolutely splendid!
Sincerely,

Serena,
Yes, I suppose. You'll be paying for your own things, of course. I'll help you, but it certainly won't be charity work. I know you're fond of my cousin, but I believe this is something we should do without Jezebel. Just you and I. How does that sound?

Dearest Vivi,
Oh, I would be honored. I've got lots of extra galleons as well, my allowance always increases over Christmastime. As long as you don't mind stopping at Gringott's first, I'll have plenty to spend. When is the earliest we can go?
Sincerely,

Serena,
Possibly in a day or so. I'll see if I can bully mother into allowing me to go. She's horribly protective lately and so irritably insistent on "family bonding". It's infuriating.

Dearest Vivi,
Well with a daughter like you, I could see why. My mother has been the same way and it's starting to rub off on my grandfather as well. It is most infuriating.
Sincerely,

Serena,
It may be because you're finally at an age where you're able to think for yourself. Perhaps she isn't ready to let go of her "baby". Do not pity her and do not let her win; it will only keep you trapped, you see? A lady is no one's property, Serena, unless she allows herself to be treated as such. Are you property? Are you merely some object to be exchanged from your mother to your future husband? Are you merely a tool to have his kids and warm his bed? Or are you going to be your own woman and break free of your mother's hold? Are you going to be strong and independent and think for yourself, even if it means being away from dear mummy?
Another reason to be aggressive and forward and seductive with Calixto, darling: show him you are meant to be, so mummy-dearest doesn't find a husband for you.

Dearest Vivi,
I... well, at least I want to stay in contact with my mother after I'm married... but I don't necessarily want her to pick my groom, now that I think of it. That is the way of things though, is it not? That's how my grandparents were wed, and how my mother was wed, and how I'm to be wed. Not all of us can marry for love, but... you bring up a good point. I suppose I wish I could have a say in who I marry. I do a lot of research on the side, if that counts. And no, I don't want to be property. A lady is worth more than anything money can buy.
Yes... yes, you're right.
Sincerely,
