Intro
“What a pleasant fragrance...”
Fontaine. The city of justice and... high fashion. As always, life is constantly in full swing in the capital. Sellers are actively inviting to the stores, offering to see a new collection of shoes, dresses and hats. “The long-awaited display of new bags!”, a low male voice is heard from one side of the street. “Coral is back in fashion! Try it!”, enthusiastically declares a young woman in a slouch hat from the opposite side. But what is fashion without good perfume?
Emilie walked through the evening city, exposing her face to the warm wind and the gentle rays of the setting sun. Her gait is confident and elegant, the heels of her shoes thud on the sidewalk. Passers-by cast glances at her, recognizing her as a famous perfumer. She is a woman of great fame. However, this fame is well deserved. It is her responsibility to create the best perfumes. No one in the city can compete with her in this business. She managed to combine her extremely developed sense of smell and a sharp mind to get the best perfumes as a result and make a successful business out of her favorite business.
The bottom of her airy dress sways slowly as she walks. The woman smiles dreamily and affably, but does not look around and does not peer into other people's faces. She seems to be somewhere deep in her thoughts and occasionally gets distracted only to adjust her glasses on her nose. And while dozens of eyes are looking at her, she's not looking at anyone. However, only up to this point.
Emilie suddenly freezes as Chronette walks past her. She sniffs, then takes a few steps back to get back to Chronette and gently grabs Chronette's wrist.
“What a pleasant aroma,” she says quietly and smiles, without looking at Chronette. It is as if she is not a living person in front of her, but the object of her study. She is still somewhere deep in her thoughts, and her thumb leisurely strokes Chronette's skin.
“Quite a unique combination... what is it?”
