Lt Jopson who owns the tailorshop that I was working at for a few weeks now went home but where he's going he isn't alive anymore but anyway he left the shop to Miss Daphne Bridgerton (who might be married to a duke?) and since Ms Daphne isn't a Dominant her partner has to own the shop now and that partner is Anthony except he's ALSO a noble isn't he? but he's not a duke?
Dorothea I don't know how to talk to nobles!!!
[ never mind that almost all of Bernie's friends are from the nobility... ]
Honestly she wants to tell her that she can talk to them just like she talks to anyone! Except it's Anthony and he's... Different, and business is a slightly more serious matter. She does it, of course, but Bernadetta is not Dorothea and probably wouldn't get a kick out of pointedly not addressing him properly like she does.
and also a viscount is technically below a count right so there's that?? ]
He is a noble, yes. A viscount.
But he's not unkind, and his sister is a very lovely young woman as well. They're all quite nice and very easy to talk to. It sounds as if he's looking for your input on the business?
[ Because if he's e-mailing to fire her or something he will face Dorothea's wrath. ]
And I'm sure they both want what's best for the business as well.
If he insists on meeting in person, would you like for me to accompany you? I wouldn't mind acting as a proxy dominant for you while you're uncontracted.
And I'm sure he wouldn't mind. As I said, he and his family are very nice people, and considering that you all want what's best for the business, I'm sure it'll be an easy meeting indeed.
[ Even if Fodlan doesn't celebrate anything this time of year, it's easy for Bernie to get swept up into these traditions that seemingly everyone was busying themselves with. So she takes time to embroider something really quick, on something she hopes Dorothea will find... useful? Or at least interesting... Maybe it won't be fashionable at all... Oh well.
Anyway. A package arrives by courier to the apartment that her friends all live in. Dorothea's is a dainty little gift bag, and inside is a lipstick case decorated with some thornless roses. It's... cute? Bernie hopes it's cute. Aaaah. ]
I'm not sure you'll use this, but I thought it would be nice to keep some of your makeup in. If you bring them around? It's okay if you don't. But I hope you do!
It's also been cold, so I hope you're keeping warm. Please have a good winter, Dorothea!

Dorothea!
Anthony Bridgerton is your friend isn't he?
He's a noble isn't he
He wants to talk to me!
But he wants to talk to me in person!
What should I do???
no subject
We are acquainted, yes.
But let's slow down a little. What is it he wishes to speak to you about?
[ is it a meeting that could've been an e-mail or? ]

[ This is the worst day of her life. ]
Would that be okay? If you came with me?
You guys are already friends!
And maybe you can distract him if things get too much and I need to go? Please?

I guess I need to tell him yes, then (╯︵╰,)
But thank you, Dorothea!!

Truly I'm touched you reached out to me. It's made me happier than you can imagine, Bern. <3
