[Have a nice, interior shot of a very full passionné and a swivel to a very happy Cinna, standing on the stairs to the second floor.]

Well, I'll certainly say this is a nice way to cap off that week. Full house all around, my reputation must precede me.

If there's anyone here that would like to say hello, I'll be here at the shop, come on by.

[ooc: Anything goes, just don't tell him he's supposed to be played by Lenny Kravtiz.]

I'll see Peeta later.

With that on the schedule, I'm in no hurry to go elsewhere. And tea sounds lovely.

[ With a quiet grace she moves to lean slightly against his desk, eying the things on top of it and identifying each as Cinna in their own specific ways. It's comforting to know some truths just don't change, no matter what happens, even as much as they are the underground matches for a bigger sort of revolution. Personal constancy is rather different.

Peeta has that.

Not so much Katniss, though Portia thinks if Katniss would let him, Peeta could give her that too. He'd give her anything.

And this Portia knows too. ]

[He places the order quickly, apparent that it's something he does quite often. After that, he pulls up an additional chair for Portia to take, as perfect a host as he could be under the circumstances as he notes her looking at his work.]

Any feedback? It's been awhile since I've been able to have your input in my work.

[Business. It's safe to talk about business without everything else hanging over his head. If he can make these days, or however long she's here, a little calmer, a little easier than home, it will be worth anything.]

Your work is always impeccable. Though I'll admit some of these...have a different undertone than your usual designs.

Not that that's a bad thing. I like this one in particular.

[ She lets her fingertip hover over a clean silhouette blocked out on the paper, a dark take on a sapphire maybe judging by the color with an open back and an interesting cross-layer in the front. The gown could easily be too heavy but it's not; Cinna's handiwork is always toeing that line. Portia's is a bit more predictable but if he is the constant changing factor of mad genius, then maybe Portia is the control. It's hard to put these in cut and dry terms of course; they're people, not numbers, whatever their work. ]

It could be shorter. [ An evening gown but she thinks depending on the fabric it's something that at just above the knee would make an elegant daywear instead. ]
