......................I wonder if this dress looks bad on me?

(Yay for personality changes 8D Though Alfons has more changed to her real, base, personality before life and training got in the way. Which is, in fact, quite girly and more innocent than usual. Maybe even a bit clingy.)

[eyes her up and down]

[without preamble walks up to her and, er, straightens her bodice. steps back, eyes her critically...]

You are sure this dress fits your colouring, sweetie?

[princessalfons]

*Alfons stares at him in near-horror, and her eyes widen.*

You don't...think this suits me? Dad had bought this dress for me, and I'd thought it would would look good...

He always liked red, so I'd said I would wear it, but...

[corrupted_steel]

[cocks his head] It is a little too...red, I suppose, but no matter. You carry it well.

Oh, but a dress? For whom are you wearing this?

[princessalfons]

*Alfons's face brightens up, and she blushes, GIGGLING.*

I'm glad~ I'd hate for him to think it's ugly.

...................................*BLUUUUSH*

.......A boy that I like.

[corrupted_steel]

Then perhaps you should have worn a shorter skirt, then.

PRIDE YOU CORRUPT YOUTH SO.

[princessalfons]

A shorter skirt? Why?

JUST AS PLANNED :D

[corrupted_steel]

Men are usually attracted to more skin instead of less. You do not know this? Has no one taught you the nuances of human society...?

*Alfons shakes her head, but is genuinely interested.*

Nuh-uh. If I talked to any boy besides Ed, Dad would get nervous, and even threaten to set the boys on fire if they looked at me funny.

He also threatens the creepy old suitors, who give me strange looks.

[corrupted_steel]

But is your father here, right now, hmmm? Who would set them...on fire, then? Who would defend your honour against your suitors?

[grins and gives her a Look]

But. Shorten the dress. Your Edward would probably have to pick his jaw up from the ground.

[princessalfons]

I-I could...but I don't really like to fight. But I would if I had to...

*She blinks, and then hikes the skirt up a bit. She's not exactly sure how to DO that. so she just sort of holds it up like that.*

......Like this?

lol

[corrupted_steel]

[marches right over and hikes her skirt up way high, on one side]

Mmmn. This will not work, pretty. Perhaps...

[mutters something that vaguely sounds like 'more leg' and 'should shave' and 'gartered stockings']

Ah, this dress would not work with a shorter cut. But remember all the same the next time you wear one: at least 10 centimetres above the knee.

AND SHE IS GOING TO TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT TOO DAMN YOU.

[princessalfons]

*Alfons's eyes start to shimmer, and she smiles happily. God, why is she so innocent now. Not like she wasn't BEFORE, but now...*

10 centimeters above the knee! Okay!

...You really think he'd like it if I wore a shorter skirt?

b-but! he's just trying to help! :D

[corrupted_steel]

Oh, he would. He really would. Boys like that sort of thing.

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiez

[princessalfons]

All right. I'll take your word for it then.

Thank you so much, sir! You're very kind.

*She curtsies now. Though it is a bit clumsy.*

oh u

[corrupted_steel]

[he sweeps into a bow to hide his grin]

You are welcome, Miss...?
