Victoria had woken up later than expected, so by the time she dressed herself in a red form fitting cocktail dress, a pair of seamed stockings, red shoes, an a snug black coat that hit right at her knees to cover it all up - along with styling her long hair in her favorite curls - she was the last to arrive at the carriage an apologized profusely once on-board.
The ride was too quiet for her taste so she'd somewhat unconsciously began to hum a tune she remembered hearing in a jazz bar she had performed in the other week, while staring at the beautiful scenery outside the carriage window.
It was nice when one of the men finally spoke up, inquiring about just what her and the petite blonde beside her were doing on such a journey.
"Well Donald, an 'old man', it's very nice to meet you both." she'd say with a genuine smile as she shook his bare hand with one of her gloved ones before again interlacing her hands over the knee of her crossed leg. "I'm Victoria, Victoria Xu, an I'm a photographer....but I do believe the fact I'm well studied in History is why I've been lucky enough to join the rest of you here."
Victoria would chuckle a bit at her comment as she switched which of her legs was on top of the other before addressing the man she now knew as Donald.
"What exactly are you doing here though?" she inquired of him, not really considering how brazen that might sound coming from a woman.
