[ someone is still coming to terms with the long train on this medievalesque gown that she has decided upon as perfect for lady cordelia de montmorency. what fine lady wouldn't want to wear a ridiculous contraption of silk? it made her more victorian wardrobe look almost sensible in comparison.
anyway, one quixotic and overly idealized experiment victim (who doesn't see herself as a victim at all) catches one of the trailing sleeve of her gown on one of your fans, miss. tug. tug, tug. ]

It's fine. [She opens the fan, inspecting it to see if it got torn, then slides it back into place.] You might want to find something better for the weather.
I do hope I did not break anything. [ she strains to keep the rougher, island contractions out of her voice. ] And -- I was actually here in hopes of finding a nice cloak. Velvet, I think.

Looks like it's in one piece. [Not anyone she recognizes here, but that means nothing today.] What you need is a coat. And something less... less. [He says as he gestures to the long, long gown.]
[ she looks concerned. she had hoped this dress would be perfect. striking, elegant, worthy of a kidnapped lady returned to glory. but now she is beginning to doubt herself. ]

Nevermind. [It's no use getting into this and making his Suki look like anything but the wonderful, nice person she is. Besides, this girl looks like she might be upset now.] It's... nice.

... thanks? [He has no idea how to respond to that. Since it's not really his own appearance being complimented.] It's not much. [Except about an hour of work to match what Suki does in ten minutes. Makeup is hard! And so is this much hair. And women's clothing.]
