[wind_wielder]

Mindy, I'm clearing out my closet. If there's anything you want, you might as well come and help yourself. You can probably fit into some of these, and the rest will fit next week the way you're growing.

[She pans the camera over a startling collection of evening gowns, short shorts, jeans, tank tops, and other things she's picked up during

[nihonjika]

I wasn't bitching that much.

[wind_wielder]

It's all relative. But it looks like some people are interested and there will be more room.

[nihonjika]

Win-win.

[wind_wielder]

You say that now, but we'll see what Kenzi decides to wear in the future.

[nihonjika]

... Everything black?

[wind_wielder]

[She holds up a decidedly skimpy black cocktail dress that was in the discard pile.]

[nihonjika]

[Feeling conflicted. He remembers liking that one...]

... Point.

[wind_wielder]

[She's not ditching every one of them. She has others that she remembers him liking.]

If you want to have a vote on what clothes go where, swing by the room. Before Kenzi goes wild. I'm trying to keep the scandalous ones out of Mindy's sight.

[nihonjika]

[Oh, good.]

Alright.

[He'll come slouching in a few minutes later, marveling over the piles of clothes. There are way more than he thought.]

[wind_wielder]

[She holds up a long, slinky gown by the straps.]

Can you believe I still have this? It has to be two years old.

[nihonjika]

[Nice.]

Well, it's not like it gets a lot of use.

[wind_wielder]

I don't know why I save some of these. The jeans I wear, they're practical and I like them. The pajamas I . . . well, used to wear. But the gowns? The only time you see me in one is when some experiment forces me into it. But here they all are, because I hate throwing things out when I might have a use for them.

[nihonjika]

So just keep one or two. Unless you plan on a lot of fancy parties. Somehow I don't see them being useful, though.

[wind_wielder]

I think I'll keep the one from the bachelor auction. That might see use again. [Since it has sleeves and enough of a neckline that she feels comfortable in it with a room full of men.]

I might keep this one, too. [She picks up a turquoise gown with an extravagant train. Shikamaru probably recognizes it, since he helped her out of it back when they first got together.]

[nihonjika]

[He certainly does.]

Haven't seen that one in a while.

[wind_wielder]

It's not like I have a lot of occasions to wear it. [She runs a hand over the material, watching it move.]

It's hard to imagine wearing something like this now. Or those. [She nods at the pajamas she used to wear, sating boy shorts and tank tops.]
