EVENING

[de_novo_xiii]

Of course he had taken the evening slot. Sebastian was one of his models, and that way he would have someone to walk home with. It all worked wondrously to his advantage.

That and he loved designing for the evening, during the evening; The night life was far more interesting than the day. Taking a seat at his desk, he awaited their arrival before he would usher them into the Dressing Area.

Sebastian didn't have to walk far to reach his destination. While George, Kuja, and Ludwig had designing to think of and employee interviews, Sebastian did his best to help his master's new business venture by adding...certain improvements to the Les Bijoux building.

As a result, he worked straight up until the time he was supposed to meet Master Kuja for the fitting, and took no time at all in getting to the office. Though he'd been working in construction, one couldn't tell by his dress: even his gloves were as perfectly white and clean as ever, without a trace of even dust.

He bowed deeply when he saw Kuja, patient and infinitely amused.

"Master."

Esmeralda had wandered around some in the late afternoon, trying to find this place where she was meant to go. She had found it, with some getting lost, and tried to stay in the general area for the few hours until dusk.

She danced on the street corner, actually. Several people dropped coin into the bowl at her feet and once the sun set she picked up the bowl and walked back to the shop. Jewels. She even knew the name!

There was already a man talking to the woman she had talked to in the journals. Good, this would be the right place.

"Bonjour, I am looking for a . . . Kuja?"

"Ah, Sebastian." Kuja closed his notebook and turned his attention to his butler. "Ever on time, as always." Standing, he was about to motion for him to follow, when the door opened.

The Genome sighed in relief.
"Esmeralda my dear, you restore my fragile faith in beauty here once more." He kissed the back of her hand comically, odd since she assumed Kuja was female. His clothing did not help to change that view, though by Kuja's standards he was dressed 'casually' that evening.

"I am indeed Kuja, the designer in charge of creating two masterpieces for you to wear at the Grand Opening. This here is Sebastian, one of the two males in my care for the event." Plucking the uniform design notebook that all three of them at Les Bijoux had, Kuja then gestured for the pair to follow

"On the night, the events are as su-" The Genome halted in his speech, hearing his name almost purred. Walking to the dividing curtain, he peeked his head out into the office area before spotting him.

"Sasaki Kojiro." He laughed delightedly, beckoning him close. "Come here and let me see you at last. We were just getting to the important details, so you've come at a good time."

Kuja swept the curtain to one side, ushering Kojiro into the Dressing Area and gesturing for him to take a seat.

"Kojiro- this is Esmeralda and Sebastian, the other two models I'm designing for. You will be modeling the Oriental theme of the Show, to pay homage to the Teahouse hosting the event. I figured it'd be comfortable for you to stick to your genre."

Esmeralda did a sort of curtsy to the newcomer as he walked in. What Kuja had said - something about a final piece to close the show? - was sinking in. What. She shook it off in her head. This was just like dancing at the festivals.

Only, with less dancing and more walking. Or so it seemed.

"Hello, Kojiro."

It was pronounced with a vague accent. Just like everything she said was.
