[Neptune had been meaning to make this announcement for some time, but... Well, it didn't seem appropriate when that tower had been in the middle of the city. But there wasn't any reason to put it off anymore, so here he was. This was going to be kind of a new thing for him, but he had confidence in himself.]

Alright, Genessia, because I'm bored of just working at the library, I'm here to offer my skills as a fashion consultant. What does that mean, you might be asking yourself? Well, it means I'll help you pick out the clothes that make you look the best. Whether that means helping you shop for new things, or going through your current wardrobe. For a reasonable price, of course.

So if you ever want to hire me, just send me a message and we can discuss price and scheduling.

I obviously don't need it, but I want to see what you put together for me anyway if you want to make me one outfit.

[ She'll pick out her own things, but she wants to at least help him get started and show that she supports him. Plus it's better not to totally ignore what he's saying for what she wants to ask him.

And yeah, she's not doing video because she's totally recovering in her bed so she has bedhead (or as close as Weiss gets to it) and Neptune isn't privy to that. ]

You definitely don't need my help. [But he does appreciate her showing her support.]

Is there a specific occasion or situation coming up that you'd need a new outfit for? [Not that he doesn't already have at least a dozen ideas. Getting an idea for a type of outfit would help him narrow down the choices though.]

No.

[ Even though Valentine's Day is Saturday, she doesn't particularly want to. A day during which people confess feelings to each other just sounds like a nightmare and a half when it comes to remembering how a lot of boys treat her back home. She's already got Zuko hovering around her constantly anyway after she got back, she'll just tell him to cook dinner. ]

I recently decided I never want to see one of my outfits again [ after she had to wear it for a week and a half straight in a sewer ] so I just want something to replace it.

Alright.

[Yeah okay he's more than a little concerned at that comment. He won't pry if she's not offering any more information than that, even if he really wants to.]

Can I ask what type of outfit it was, so I know what I'm trying to replace?

A warm one. Think what I normally wear but with higher boots and a warmer jacket.

[ There's a brief hesitation before she adds. ] And gloves.

That's quite a different profession, Mister Vasilias.

I have to admit, I've never actually had anyone help me with finding clothes that would make me look my best.

[She is somewhat considering it honestly.]

What would the price be anyway?

Oh, oh, oh! I'd be willing to hire you.

What sort of fashion even exists here, anyway?

[ Here's a challenge for him.]

I might take you up on that when I'm more settled in.

[ And has an income.]

It's hard finding things that fit my figure

I can do that.

[And soon, he sends her a bunch of pictures. Not that he was prepared or anything like that. The outfit he's pieced together consists of a plum dress, a light gray asymmetrical coat, gunmetal gray gloves, a pair of black boots, and a pair of dark gray wool tights.]

I thought the plum dress would be a nice change from your usual light colors. And the boots are waterproof.

I know. But I get bored if I'm doing the same thing for too long.

And I'd be happy to work for you! Do you need a new outfit, or are we reworking your current wardrobe?

I don't know what different worlds would call different styles, but there are a lot of shops with really amazing clothes. You just have to know where to look and what to look for.

[Neptune's always up for a challenge.]

I'd be more than happy to help! If it comes to it, there are a couple of tailors in town that can alter anything we find for you.

Well, if you're offering a contribution to vanity, I can't very well refuse, can I? I'd be delighted to see what you think pleases the eye.

It's kind of like shopping with a friend, only I'm getting paid to make sure you only leave with clothes that make you look good.

[He'll rattle off a few reasonable prices, scaled for the various levels of work he
thinks he'd end up doing.]

[ Weiss considers it for a moment. She tends to keep to her whites, blues, and blacks, so the idea of wearing plum is something she has to consider. ]

Bring it over and I'll try it on.

[ She'll pay him for it either way. ]

[Muse isn't looking to hire anyone just yet, since she only has what's left of her starter money. But she's interested in meeting new people, and a shopping trip for new clothes other than her fairy costume sounds like a lovely time! She smiled and waved hello to Neptune at the video screen]

Uhm, excuse me. How much would I owe you? I'm new to the city, and I haven't made any money yet.

[She's still looking for a job, sadly.]

[It'll be a good contrast to her hair.]

I'll be there soon.

[He's not going to take her money if she doesn't like it.

And, true to his word, it isn't long before he's ringing the doorbell.]

[He'll quote a number that's reasonably affordable, assuming she's capable of spending what's left of her money responsibly.]

We can schedule a time, if that price works for you?

Hey, there's nothing wrong with being vain sometimes. Everyone deserves to look their best.

[Muse takes a few moments to think about it. She's used to managing her own money, from living by herself and having a job that doesn't pay a lot, but it also made her a bit of a penny-pincher. But Neptune's price sounds reasonable]

Mm! That price works for me! I'm available to go anytime today if you're not busy.

[ Weiss comes to the door to let him in once he gets there. She isn't one to wear gloves much, but she figures.. it isn't like she really needs to hide what happened from Neptune, but she isn't going to bring it up either. It happened, and there were things that happened to hunters and huntresses much worse, so unless he asked she wasn't going to say.

Not that it would be hard to tell what happened since she wasn't wearing gloves right then, being inside. It would've been too suspicious to wear them inside and frankly too warm. The scarring on her hand that she couldn't heal once her aura recovered was still on her hand, and it was obvious just whose symbol it was. She checks the little peep hole first before opening the door. ]

Come in.

Good to know. Thanks.
