Hattie can be seen being catered to by a woman and two men, the gentlemen in question carrying stacks of boxes and following her as she gives a brief close up of each item she comes across, some added to her pile and others discarded.

I was wondering which shops to visit for clothes.

Thank you for the recommendations.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

.. You liked it?

[She straightens up]

I mean, of course you did! I am still adjusting to the many styles here and presentation, so things aren't quite at their best yet. But you're welcome, and thank you for the response.

I'm Hattie, by the way, I should have mentioned that earlier.

[marked_songbird]

[a good-natured laugh] I did.

You're new as well, then? I'm glad to see you're adjusting quickly to life here.

My name is Oruha. It's a pleasure to meet you, Hattie.

[blondandperfect]

[She still seems a little stunned, but pleased all the same]

Well, I wouldn't say 'quickly', but I am getting there. I am new, yes, so I'm afraid I can't really offer you any advice- I've moved many times in the past, but nothing was ever quite like this. You look the type that could fit in well enough.

[beat]

Would you mind if I asked if you have any hobbies, Oruha?

[Oh, he couldn't leave this alone. Couldn't. He likes Ella. And you are not her. So, have a very beautiful nobleman with grey eyes watching you. One elegant black eyebrow ticks up.]

Do you have Ella-sama's permission to charge her so?

[See that -sama? That's his respect for her in front of you. He'd call her -san to her face.]

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

[She looks taken aback! This was clearly not what she was expecting at all. Though 'this' could be so many things in this case. So she starts off with a clueless smile]

I'm sorry, what?

[She brushes her hair over her shoulders and proceeds to flirt, twirling a lock of hair with her finger and getting fluttery-eyed]

Oh. Oh my.. What can I do for you, handsome? Let me guess; you want to see me in one of my new dresses?

[She glances to the side]

Oh I don't know.. I think Elizama wouldn't approve of that~.

[Video]

[soul_scatter]

You are Ella-sama's sister.

[Simpering noblewomen? Those he knows how to handle!]

Do you have her permission to charge her so?

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

[What was this man talking about? Did he mean who she thought he meant? But then why would she use such a ridiculous alias? Hattie looked lost, but also a bit defensive. (Though that glare did make her heart skip a beat~)]

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.. Are you a boyfriend or the like?

.. Are we talking about Ella?

[There's no way! Never in a million years!]

Video

[icy_heavens]

[Hello there, another friend of Ella's who ain't happy. And no, he's no "darling young boy." Though save for the scowl, he might look like one.]

Exactly what do you think you're doing, charging her for that? [Okay, he knows you refuse to actually get a job for yourself, but the question still stands.]

Re: Video

[blondandperfect]

Hmn?

[She looks surprised. Another young boy with pure white hair!]

Oh! You must be Sir Joe's brother, he's told you about me already has he? Not that I blame him of course, though I expected you to look a bit twinnier.

[She faulters.]

Er.. More twinny? No.. As twin as?

Video

[icy_heavens]

... I'm no one's brother, and I don't know anyone by that name. I also asked you a question.

Re: Video

[blondandperfect]

You're not? What? .. Oh.

[Hattie appears doubtful, but goes along with it.]

Lighten up, will you? You are -far- too young to be a grumpy old man..

And yes you did beat around the bush, but I'll give you a chance to ask what's -really- on your mind. Go ahead, don't be shy, I won't bite, most boys your age have these feelings~.

[gamuzadeclares]

I recommend the clothing at Maree Bleus. A friend of mine is a designer for that company.

[Video]

[blondandperfect]

'Maree Bleus' is it, what an exotic name! I'll be certain to head there as soon as I can, thank you for the recommendation! Do they specialize in specific attire? Formal? Casual? Uniform? All of the above?

[She -really- wants to ask about that mark over her nose. But.. Mustn't.. Must.. Resist.]

[Video]

[gamuzadeclares]

Both formal and casual. I have never seen uniforms there, but if you need one for something, Ishida does take private commissions as well.

Re: [Video]

[blondandperfect]

'Ishida' is it? I will certainly remember that, thank you for the information! By the way, my name is Hattie.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple of personal questions? Just a couple of things I'm curious about, you don't have to answer if you wish.

[ And she was having such a nice nap too. But she was also in earshot of Hollerin' Hattie, so with a stifled yawn, she pulled herself up from the couch she'd been napping on to investigate. ]

What is it? [ What she wants to say is, 'What do you want NOW and give back my necklace.' But she doesn't. ]

[Action]

[blondandperfect]

[She appears to be in a good mood! That's probably good.. Right?]

Ella, I need you to do me a teensie tiny favor. I need you to get in contact with a Lawrence Butz. Tell him that we're ready to have him come over, and provide him our address if he needs it.

[Action]

[of_frell]

[ Hrm... a Hattie in a good mood didn't always mean good things for her. Still, she would be optimistic. She sighed. ]

All right fin-- wait, what do you mean "we"? [ And who was Lawrence Butz? ]

[Action]

[blondandperfect]

What do you mean 'what do I mean "we"'? I meant exactly what I said! We're going to need shears, scissors, brush, things like that. You see, Ella, today I am going to make a squire into a dashing knight.

[Hattie seems rather proud of herself, only to seem uncertain afterward]

Well.. That is the idea at least. We'll also need sandwiches. And a frying pan if he gets uppity.
