[The video feed starts to show a very annoyed looking red-eyed face. Racks of clothing go by in the peripherals of the video feed, though.. at Hiei's height it might seem a little confusing. Anyone else in the general area might just assume that there is a furry shark fin moving around in the racks if they're far enough away.] We have an issue.

[And have an over analytical British man on your video feed, squinting his eyes a little as he tries to figure out exactly why this man needs his clothes altered. It's hard to discern on the video that he's... rather tiny.]

And why exactly do you need your clothes altered?

[video]

[imikojaganashi]

Because apparently every man in this city is expected to be six feet tall.
[no, he's not pissy about this at all. nope. his height is a sore issue okay!?]

[video]

[hello_goaway]

[He raises a brow. Shaun wasn't that tall, but rather of average 180 cm height, but he never had issues with any of his clothing]

And what? You're just a few centimeters short of that?

Perhaps you're not looking hard enough.

[a long pause, and then.....

muttered, almost too quietly to hear.]
.... I am 4'10", not counting hair.

Unless you plan to spend your time in this world in children's formalwear, Hiei, you'd best find something in one of these stores.

[ Flipping through a rack, sighing as he comes up with nothing but more superhero and racecar tees. ]

There must be plain shirts somewhere in the mall. Every shop can't sell the same kind of designs.

[action]

[imikojaganashi]

Why can't I just use the same clothes and wash them? I fail to see how that is so horrible. [considering he's done it for years to avoid having to carry an extra set of clothes? yes, he would think along this line.

he sorts through yet another rack and comes up without anything.] Everywhere else can sell good things, but not here. I may just have to settle for badly fitted clothes..

[as if that had never happened before either.]

[action]

[totalfox]

Because your clothing will be far from subtle in this world, to begin with.

[ Picking up another shirt; This one's blank, actually! Just a funny shade of green... ]

And secondly, I imagine you'll be susceptible to heatstroke in a desert climate, if you wear your usual clothing all the time.

[action]

[imikojaganashi]

Yes, because acid green in itself is subtle. [indicating the shirt the other has just picked up, he shows an obvious bit of sarcasm as he turns back to the racks. he pulls out a few shirts and things and puts them back - there being juvenile prints or just.. colors he doesn't find quite appealing to offend him.]

I think I'd rather go shirtless or naked than any of this... [too bad that's probably a very real, very doable threat from him.]

Get a tailor!

[imikojaganashi]

[a small pause, before.] I don't want a tailor.
I want clothing that fits without having some person take measurements and do all of that.

[translation: hiei is far too impatient to wait for new clothes.]

Then go to the kid's store!

[imikojaganashi]

The children's store only has shirts with.. rockets and other.. childish accessories. [duh, man, come on!]
