No way was Gilbert going to let an employee of his buy some costume off some rack of some internet website. No way in hell. He'd spent exactly one night looking up old Prussian princesses and dresses before coming up with the perfect design. Lili was going to look like a princess. An awesome, tiny, adorable, princess.

He heard the small peeps of Gilbird and removed himself from the depths of the rows of fabrics, rushing towards her, arms filled with the soft and light rolls of delicate fabrics. In his hair was perched a very lovely headband. "Lili, it's awesome you're here, I need to measure you right away."

He placed the fabrics on the counter, smiling at her, taking off the headband and putting it in her hair instead. "Sie sind eine ehrfürchtige Prinzessin~" He said, ruffling her hair as Gilbird fluttered to land in his hair, "Now go on, take off that heavy coat."

[translation: you will be an awesome princess]

A princess? Of course! A princess! How did she not think of this? Gilbert was a savior. Her large eyes were drawn to the sparkling headband as it moved from Gilbert's pale head to her own. She began taking off her coat, undoing the buttons with one hand while the other traced along the jewels of the headband. The coat was lightly tossed on top of her bag as she finally looked back at the bustling Prussian.

"Danke Gilbert. A princess is absolutely perfect! And this headband...it's just so pretty!" Her small hands clapped together in front of her as a wide smile grew across her face. Princesses were always so pretty! Maybe she could be pretty like them for Halloween!

God she was way too cute sometimes. Taking her hand and leading her to a small stool he had set up with three mismatched mirrors surrounding it. While Gilbird twittered overhead, occasionally landing in Lili's hair, staring at the shiny band greedily before Gilbert would wave him away with a sharp German word.

"Lili," he said, pulling the measuring tape along her thin limbs idly, humming a bit to himself, "Do you have a favourite princess?" He was of course referencing the own noble lineage of the Prussian house, however he wasn't about to give the girl a long rant about Princess Charlotte if she answered with something a little more mainstream, like Snow White or Cinderella.

He'd save the long rants about Prussian history for quiet days at the shop.

Her eyes drifted along with Gilbert as he measured her here and there, glancing up at Gilbird as he flew between them both. She tried to keep her body as still as she could as she thought about princesses.

"Well, if you mean real princesses, I do think that Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein is quite lovely. B-but the romance and fantasy of those fairy tale stories always interested me more as a child. I guess, Aschenputtel, or Cinderella here in America, is my favorite." She smiled and laughed a bit remembering hearing the story read to her so many times by her bruder. A part of her almost missed the good old days. Some things never changed.

"How about you Mr. Gilbert? Do you have a favorite princess?"
