(D7 LA) A Rose by Another Name

[Arianne]

"Well, that's one I haven't heard before," Arianne chuckled, "Madame Rosa would be the oldest, but I don't think that's who you mean. I'm starting to think that your Shana and ours have a lot in common."

[Jynessa Tremaine]

"I was asking about other than the madame. And oh? And what makes you say that?"

[Arianne]

"So far they have the same name, and they're both older. Guess I'll need a little more to go on."

[Jynessa Tremaine]

"I was told that she was only in her twenties. The one I am searching for is older than that."

[Arianne]

"How much older? Once a whore turns thirty, she knows she's on the way down and out of the business. No one wants a whore who's starting to sag." Arianne tapped her nails quietly on her glass as she spoke in an off-handed manner.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

Jyn gave a soft shrug. "About my father's age, I would say. Certain that is old enough for a whore to, as you say, begin to sag."

[Arianne]

"Honey, even Madame Rosa's not your father's age," Arianne's tone was teasing and yet condescending.

[Jynessa Tremaine]

"I see." Jynessa let out a soft sigh and began to fidget with her braided ponytail. "Tell me more about your Shana then. Perhaps I will want to meet her. Is she popular?"

[Arianne]

"I thought Eutimio told you. She was never popular, it hasn't helped that she's getting too old for clientele tastes." Arianne sneered, "don't know why she picked this line of work, anyway."

[Jynessa Tremaine]

"Poor woman," she said with a slight frown. She then shrugged and leaned back in her chair. "I have an idea, then. Find this Shana, blindfold her, and bring her in. I have no desire for the actual Shana to see me here," she explained. "If she asks, just state that I have a peculiar taste or whatever you wish."
