All the 'proper ladies' Ana had meant really seemed to just be uptight and repressed with no real personality. Or at least if they had one most people didn't get to see it. "No," Ana said, wincing at the thought of Lux breaking something because she tried to wear Ana's heels, something that had almost happened to Katya this Summer. "That's why you wouldn't start out wearing these shoes. You'd start with a thicker heel as well, or a boot to give better stability." Walking in heels was an art. Unfortunately not everyone could master it. All it really took though was time, patience and practice.

"Well of course not. You're still a young girl," Ana agreed almost calling Lux a child but avoiding doing so. At Lux's age Ana certainly hadn't thanked anyone that caller her a child. Especially not people who were only a few years her senior. "I do look a lot like my babushka though. There are pictures from when she was young and I could almost be her doppelgänger!" Which amused her to no end since it proved that she was her fathers daughter. Something which a few family members had doubted after her parents divorce and her mamushka hastily remarried.

Ana nodded sympathetically, Lux having told her about Bay's experience with cucumber sandwiches last term after it happened. Ana had been inclined to laugh at the story but Lux's sad and worried face had stopped the laughter before it could rise in her throat. Clearly she still felt somewhat guilty about it. "Finally! Some boys with sense!" Her theory might not be correct, and them liking cucumber sandwiches proved it, although they could be the exception too it, she was glad that there were other people that saw the beauty of a cucumber sandwich.

"I'm glad you had a good day sweetheart," she said, her tone earnest as she brushed some hair out of her face. "Hopefully next year I'll be able to make it if you have a party."

Giggle. Lux had to admit that Ana was on to something, because being a totally proper lady seemed rather dull. "I like dresses now and looking pretty, but I still love sports and being competitive." Lux was never opposed to getting her hands dirty and doing hard work; this girl loved Herbology class with all it's pretty flower planting and such. As Ana went on to talk about the proper shoes to wear, Lux furrowed her brow and stretched her legs out, looking at the ballet flats on her feet. "Maybe I could try that, but I don't have any of those shoes at the moment." Was it worth it to ask Willa to send her some? Maybe not seeing how things had been between them lately.

It was a good thing that Ana had not called her a child, because Lux certainly was not little anymore as much as some people wished she was. "I really take after my mother more than anything. I hope she ages well, and that I do too... But it's okay if I don't, because I don't have a huge problem with getting wrinkles and grey hair as long as it isn't when I'm still young." That was why last term was so freaky; everyone looked sixty years older than they really were. It was almost as if someone had used a really powerful Time-Turner. Wait... doppelgänger? "What's a doppelgänger?" Was this another Russian word?

More giggles. "I know! Cucumbers are so refreshing. Bay doesn't like them though." Which was totally fine, of course. Teasing and friendly complaining aside, the girl understood and respected people's differing opinions on food. Bay liked to do the opposite thing, and teased her sometimes for liking cucumber sandwiches. It was rather funny. "Maybe we can get Terry to like them, so that at least one of us has a boyfriend who is a fan of them!" Of course if that didn't end up happening, Lux would be totally cool with it.

A big smile formed on Lux's face. "It was wonderful, and Bay asked me out that day before my party." It had been so nice. "I really hope that you can, but I understood why you couldn't go last time. My friend Bart missed it too, because he had a stroke at the end of last term." He seemed to be doing better now, so that made her happy. Lux wondered where Bart was; she missed him.
