Charles, is that you?

Phone

[decadenzas]

Yes, it is. Alice?

Re: Phone

[hangedhourai]

Yes, it's me. I have the skills that you require.

Phone

[decadenzas]

Ah, excellent. It wouldn't be troublesome to request a garment or two, I hope?

Phone

[hangedhourai]

I wouldn't have offered if it was troublesome. However I will either require some kind of payment or you will have to do a favor for me in the future. Surely you will find this to be fair?

Phone

[decadenzas]

Certainly. I can provide you with whichever you prefer, a monetary sum of your choosing or the promise of a favor whenever you find it convenient to use.

Phone

[hangedhourai]

Good. I had a feeling we would be able to come to an agreement.

I will need specifics on the garments you need made.

Phone

[decadenzas]

I would like to request a dress with a waistline similar to the empire silhouette. The fabrics should be thin enough to drape properly but thick enough to provide some warmth, and white with a blue trim would be best. I'll leave it to you as the seamstress to add details as you see fit.

I can collect her measurements for you or you may come over and take them yourself, whichever you wish.

Phone

[hangedhourai]

I can certainly sew such a dress. That will be no problem for someone like me.

Telling me her measurements would be fine. I hardly have the time to measure her myself.

Phone

[decadenzas]

I'm certain it won't be, I trust in your skill. [insert measurements here!] Is there anything else you require?

Phone

[hangedhourai]

No. I would prefer to pick out the materials on my own.

I will let you know what my payment will be when I require it.

Phone

[decadenzas]

Very well. By which date should I expect you to be finished?

Phone

[hangedhourai]

A week from now at the very latest.

Phone

[decadenzas]

Wonderful. Thank you for offering your services.

Phone

[hangedhourai]

You can thank me once you've seen the dress I will prepare.

Phone

[decadenzas]

Fair enough. I look forward to hearing from you.

[a beat; he had more or less taken a shine to Alice since they first spoke and therefore decides to extend a little invitation.] Perhaps when you've finished, you shall find the time to join your client and myself for tea? [he assumes Diva will want to meet new people anyway, social butterfly that she is]
