Hold on, let me put on a Brave Face (Sabine)

The meeting? Professional. Set up professionally. No mention of the problem, other than that there was something they needed to talk about. This seemed the situation one needed to hash out and see, firsthand.

She dressed in a grey pantsuit with a dark shirt underneath. Amelia had needed to get several outfits tailored. She had yet to imbue any extra clothes with enchantments.

Her fist rapped against the door to Sabine’s office, on time. Then, when she was invited in, she entered. A phrase from a Star Wars meme passed through her head as she took a calming breath and entered.

This is where the fun begins.

Here’s the recap.
She had been changed physically, as far as things were concerned. Amelia was taller (5’6”, up from 5’), curvier, with short, neck length brown hair and dark brown eyes.

A mystic. Someone calling themself a mystic. Had done this to her. She had helped. For some reason she had volunteered to help. It had been an utterly unique ritual she hardly remembered, as the ex calamari on point to an extremely good date. The person in question had ghosted her. Like, literally. Vanished, gone, no longer living in the place she had lived. She had moved out of a firmly established apartment living space within hours.

Despite looking, Amelia could not track down her person or her supposed friends. She’d mentioned others, she had to have them, they must have helped her. But... nothing. There should have been some evidence. But there was not.

This was the second time Amelia would get to come out to Sabine about something big. Yay! She would have to act brave about it wouldn’t she? Even though, in spite of probably needing to feel scared, not confident in her new looks, Amelia felt... confident. Strong. Powerful. She had taken a day to get used to the change and prepare herself, to get her act together and take control. So maybe she ought to have felt nervous to come forward about the whole thing? But honestly? Amelia felt as if it were a new opportunity. Turning a page. The hard sell would be getting Sabine to sign in on the same idea.
