Kuja also valued looking one's best. He preened Edward's cape.
"Valentino velvet, right? I can get this spotless, don't you worry. As for your outfit, it'll have to go." He tisked, plucking at a tattered hole.

"Unfortunately the fabrics created on this island aren't up to my standards, but they're lovely enough. And Kaoru here does such marvelous work with what he's given."

Plucking a few garments off the shelves, he placed the garments into Edward's arms.
"Go on love, try them on! You want to look splendid for your Giselle, don't you?"

Prince Edward, being the very agreeable person he was, let himself be pushed into the changing room. He was somewhat relieved that such nice people were readily available in this place - Rivelata was it? Well, whatever. Part of him still wished to see Giselle because, after all, he was almost positive a villainous man was keeping her locked up in a tower and making her do horrendous things like cooking and cleaning.

Beautiful maidens should never have to do something. Anything. Whatever. These clothes actually weren't that bad, Prince Edward mused. This Kuja certainly had taste, he would have to keep in touch with these people. Prince Edward was certain Giselle would appreciate fine dresses. All ladies deserved fine dresses, that's what fine dresses were for. Fine ladies.

After shifting through the selection Kuja gave him, Edward finally selected an outfit. He emerged from the dressing room arrogant as ever.

"How do I look?"

"Why, you look positively handsome!" Kuja laughed, clapping his hands delightedly. "Let's have a look at you, hm?" He pushed Edward to a full length mirror, preening his outfit for him.

"Look how it brings out your posture! And the collar and lapel push your chin to stand tall and proud." The genome was having a field day, cooing over Edward. Drama? What drama? He was content in dressing a fine Prince for his Princess.

He left Edward to preen his reflection, pouting at Kaoru.
"Now now, his Princess surely must be here, and a man like that-" Kuja pointed at Edward as he inspected himself, "surely isn't going to leave his 'one true love, answer to my duet' in a heartbeat."

Kaoru had to chuckle. Kuja really knew his his stuff. "I like it to, sir!"

The boy walked around Edward again, tugging at the seams. "How does it feel though? This place is extremely humid and you'll be sweating in it in no time... Also not a good way to greet a Fair Princess." Really, he felt like he was talking to Tamaki...

"I suppose as long as you take off the jacket while walking around outside..." Kaoru removed the jacket and placed it in Edward's arm like a waiter's towel. "I think you still look just fine like that. How about it, Kuja? Also, Edward, try pulling on it... that way I can try to let out some of the seams if it's a little tight..." Really, some of the men here had the broadest shoulders and then some were so thin...

Prince Edward admired his reflection. He looked good. The red-haired one, Kaoru, said something about the jacket being hot. He hadn't noticed, not really. This was nothing compared to troll hunting! The exertion from that - it was even enough to make a Prince perspire.

He did listen to the part about testing the fit though. It was always important to test fit, because if you should happen to be troll hunting and the seat of your pants ripped, then where would you be? So he carefully tested the fit and determined that the pants were a little loose, but on the whole the outfit would do until something more suitable was available.

"This is excellent. You, sir, are a fine craftsman."
