Bobby's face is still buried in the sofa, trying to smother the image of Cid in a miniskirt and sandals.

After regaining his composure, he emerges from the sofa. "Well, who are you borrowing a dress from then, Jeff?" he asks his brother - he had rarely seen Mina in anything other than jeans and doubts she has a spare dress to lend Jeff.

He hasn't seen Lux all day, and Adrian had disappeared to look for her ages ago. He wonders what they could be doing, alone together, but quickly banishes the thought. "I'm going to find Lux, and ask her about a - " he shudders inwardly " - a dress...Roberta will see you later."

He heads upstairs, knocking on Lux's bedroom door before he barges in, just in case Adrian is with her in there, but the room is empty. He hovers in the doorway for a moment before deciding simply to have a peek in her wardrobe. Everything she owns is short or sheer and impossibly tight - too tight for Bobby's frame, anyway - and he's not sure he'll actually fit into anything.
