[ But they aren't HIM! Also does she really want to be the kind of 'whole new woman' Etna would want her to be? ]

Erm.. But - [ Y'know, Etna kind of reminded her of her friend Odette in this case. But she stared at the phone blankly for a few seconds. ]

W..what?

[ That's silly! You're silly, Etna. Also she didn't really believe either of those statements. She knew she wasn't 'sexy', and as far as deserving what she wanted- that was rather selfish wasn't it? ]

I.. don't know if I can say all that..!

[Oh, Agnes, you are precious. Etna wants to pinch her cheeks until she cries, give her a hug until a rib breaks. ]

Yeah, that would be the problem.
You can either do it now...or when I'm there to strong arm you into it.
We've got to work on that confidence before the makeover.

[She is already putting together an idea of what to make Agnes wear the next time they go out on the town--something even the most oblivious MC couldn't ignore.]

[ Um.. Agnes appreciates the thought, but would like to pass on the crying and rib breaking pls!! ]

No no, it's fine.. I'll.. I'll do it...

[ OMG This is so embarrassing. She's so glad her roomies aren't around. Of course Etna COULD be just fucking with her, Agnes knew. ]

Let's see...what was it.. Oh, yes. "I'm ........... sexy and I know it... I...deserve to work hard for what I want.."

[ CHEAT! CHEAT! That's not what Etna told her to say at all. ]

[Sigh. Close enough, for now. Better than "sit around and hope to get lucky".]

Meh, it's a start.
You can keep the whole "good girl next door (with big knockers)" thing you've got going on, buuuut
Without initiative, you're not gonna have a chance, Aggie.

[There is no 'working hard' if she has no confidence and takes no efforts to snatch what she wants! But that is the problem with these sweet little angel sort of girls.]

Keep pumping yourself up like that every day.
I'll judge your progress the next time we go out.
Speaking of which, heave your measurements ready.

[Agnes needs some real party clothes before they have another night on the town. Maybe she'll even forget about whatshisface if the right guy fawns over her!]

[ .. okay that description, while true, was still a little embarrassing hearing someone come right out and say it like that. ]

.. I know.. I think our age difference has been working against me there. And he probably doesn't want to make things difficult between us, with me being his client. Never mix work and pleasure, right? Although! He did have an opportunity to consider our contract ended, on a technicality, but he chose not to. So he still wants to see me around at least.

[ She's got her foot in the door! .. of friendship. She fears she might end up waiting for too long for her chance, that he ends up getting back with his ex. Or just flat out rejecting her - she could handle that part, but not if she never had a chance to throw her hat in the ring! ]

Okay.. Oh! Right - when do you want the next girl's night out? [ She did like shopping! And while she was a little iffy about giving another guy any attention, she was going to at least make a small amount of effort. ]
