Maybe it was a mistake to walk into that train compartment, but even if it was, Edith Ainsley didn't regret it. If not for the disappearance of Eudoria Holmes she wouldn't have reunited with her childhood friend Enola Holmes and met...

━︎━︎ IN WHICH THEY TURN INTO SOMETHING UNEXPECTED
"He'll be fine" Edith said as the carriage disappeared from their view. Enola nodded in agreement, but she was slightly hesitant.
The two begun to walk in silence. Edith's head wasn't facing Enola's direction so she didn't see the girl nearly be hit by a carriage.
"Out of the sodding way, boy" someone said from a carriage to Enola, causing Edith to grab her by her arm and drag her away from the middle of the road.
On their way past a man with newspapers they heard him exclaim the case of the missing marquess. To which Edith turned to Enola and said with a huff —
"There are so many better things to announce, but they decided on that idiot"
They carried on walking as a man nearly jumped in front of Enola, causing her to yelp as he exclaimed "a shilling apiece!"
They quickly walked past the man but Enola stopped as she started down to the ground. Edith did too and saw a missing poster of Viscount Tewkesbury on the floor. The drawing of him was pretty similar, just his hair was currently shorter than before.
Edith crouched down and picked the piece of dirt paper up, stuffing it in her pocket. Enola gave her a quick and confused look that went unnoticed by Edith as she was standing back up.
"I must admit, London isn't quite what I imagined" Enola told Edith as they carried on walking past the crowds of people.
Edith only nodded her head as her face remained facing downwards. A man was yelling something about a reform as a small crowd cheered in agreement around him.
"Come on" Edith said as she begun to walk a bit faster, Enola right behind her.
"If we are to fit in" Enola started to say as she stopped outside a boutique with beautiful dresses. "And stay hidden from my brother and the public" she turned around to look at Edith who was staring at the dresses on the mannequins. "We must become something. . . unexpected"
Edith looked at Enola with a smirk as the two entered the shop. They looked through the racks of dresses — which were in almost every colour you could think of. Enola took out a red dress as Edith's eyes landed on a yellow one.
The colour reminded her of mustard and the sleeves were puffed and long with frills on it's shoulders. It had three dark yellow button going down from the neck and a yellow ribbon around the waist. It was perfect in her eyes.
