And, of course, it would require a dress.
She arrived early in the evening, shyly opening the door, the little bell signalling her arrival. Fingers danced over the displays, marveling at the embroidery, how classic these dresses were, but where would she start? Maya waited, hoping someone would come to her assistance.

He tried not to overwhelm her too much with information until he knew what her intentions were for coming to the store.

"Si!" She piped up, smiling sweetly. "I don't - have these dresses home."

It suddenly occurred to Kaoru that she, like Kaoru, didn't speak English as her native language. "Excusez moi, tu parle francais?" It was worth a shot, anyway.

Then he started speaking something else - something she did not understand. Only 'tu' and 'francais'.
"I - oh. No? I don't speak french."

He'd told her, essentially, to not scare the young men of the shop too much - what they wanted would be more easily obtained with honeyed words than force. It was just clothes shopping, after all.
Under one arm, he carried an ordinary notebook - separate from his journal - that currently had a number of papers tucked into it, and a copy of William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
He then stood and waited quietly for someone to come and assist them both, an enigmatic smile on his face.

While they waited, Larxene began looking at the dresses and other clothing, touching the fabric and running it through her hands. It was a habit of hers to touch everything while shopping. After all, if the cloth wasn't comfortable, what was the point of wearing it?

"Welcome to Eagle's Splendour!" He greeted. "I'm Hitachiin Kaoru." He glanced between the man he was acquainted with and the woman he wasn't. "How can I help you today?" Decked out in his ballroom attire, he certainly looked right at home among the mannequins.
[[OOC: I have no idea if they're wearing their standard black or not... 'cuz if they are this could get pretty déjà vu very quick. o_o;; ]]

But of course, nothing showed on her face. Not a twitch, not a blink, just her sappy and simpering smile.
"Helloooo, dear. I'm Larxene. We have something.... specific in mind. I do so hope you can assist us~" With that, she glanced at Zexion, who had the notes on the costumes tucked away in his book. "Zexion has the sketches and so forth."

"Is this doable...?" he asked.
[ooc: they're not wearing the black trenchcoats, but they do tend to wear just black shirts and pants. ... usually they end up matching through no fault of their own.
larxene's mask is the Air mask on the upper right
zexion's mask is almost identical to the one in the middle panel here, though obviously he won't be wearing a suit :P]

It would be a time-crunch, no mistake, but there really were more complex masks and outfits that they could've asked for. So if the girls focus on the outfits and leave the masks to me...
He shook his head and smiled at both of them. "I'll make it work. I promise. You'll be able to pick them up only a few hours before the event, but we'll be able to help you get dressed in no time and make the event, no problem!"
After all, the least I can do for you, right?
Reply
Of course, her voice was completely laced with sugar, and maybe just a little venom. But she smiled sweetly.
"I know it will be no problem for you talented young men."

But this was different. It was going to be for a friend. At least, she hoped that Haru-anego was a friend. Kagura has never been so close to a normal girl before, usually because such people tend to stay away from her, call her an overpowered freak and comment about how dirty she looked. Haru-anego was... well, she was kind and she ate cake really fast and she...
Kagura shook her head. If she was going to buy some clothes for Haru, in exchange for the comfortable sundress she was wearing, she had to do it now. Any later and Sacchan might notice that she just sneaked out of the house. She opened the door slightly and peered in.

It had been over a month and a half, easily, since the last time he'd seen her. He was certainly more upbeat than then, too. After all, he had his brother back now, and certainly didn't hold it against Kagura that she hadn't been involved in his rescue. It was probably strange enough to see the twins in the same room again, which she hadn't seen since that day they'd been reunited in her presence.
It really had been so very long...
