I've actually been meaning to write this for about a year or so—ever since I finished watching Kiddy Grade. I'm so glad I finally got to it, and I think it turned out well. Drabble: 100 words exactly.
Regarding Elegance:
A lady is to be elegant at all times. Elegant when entertaining; elegantly spoken; elegant in demeanor; able to calmly deal with any situation; able to see clearly and act swiftly; able to deal with any situation; able to put troubling things aside. It is far from elegant and far from helpful to fall down crying because your only love and lifelong partner is lying dead in a pool of her own blood and will never be reckless again; she has defied elegance all her life and won't be starting now. Lumiare disregards elegance as she cries over Eclares' body.
