A thorn in Edgar's side (2)

"You seem different," Mario commented when they were finally alone in a private room.

"Good or bad?" Alessandra asked since Mario knew her for many years. She would hate to hear she changed for the worse from an old friend.

"Good. I have never seen you dressed up like this," said Mario while he looked over her appearance. 

Alessandra looked down at the dress made for her by Erin. "I have a dressmaker now. I no longer have to wear my mother's old dresses."

Mario also noticed there was a glow to her now compared to how dull she looked back at home. Still, he wasn't on board with her being here. He wasn't a fan of Edgar, especially after the conversation they shared. "Does he treat you well? Are the servants here treating you well?" He added in case the first question was too much.
