[Anyone passing by the Vesperia Hotel (aka house 12) might notice an unusual sight: Judith appears to have found a rocking chair in one of the shops, as well as the most unrevealing outfit imaginable- a long dress, a shawl, and plain, flat boots. Her fashion sense remains intact, but... well, let's just say she's become more traditional

[Yuri had been out for a few hours, which really isn't anything too unusual, and is just coming back to the house now.

... Except he's carrying an armload of books for some reason. Hm.

Regardless of that, when he catches sight of Judith, he can't help but stop and stare. Experiment or not, that is just ... way too weird.]

... What are you doing?

... oh, wait, I can read.

[once_knighted]

[......... Oh god. Getting that thing off and backing away.]

Whatever you're planning, forget it!

ffff did you make a boo boo

[sultrytempest]

[You see this look, Yuri? You cannot escape.]

Do you have a problem with what I'm doing?

yes ): but it's gone now

[once_knighted]

[He's going to put up one hell of a fight either way B|]

Do I have a-- Why wouldn't I?

momma judy didn't even have to kiss it

[sultrytempest]

[BRING IT ON BOOKWORM]

Are you so rude that you'd refuse a gift that someone special put a lot of work into making for you?

hey, she still can if she wants to |:

[once_knighted]

[SOME OF THOSE BOOKS ARE PRETTY THICK YOU KNOW]

I don't mind accepting it, but I'm sure as hell not going to wear it.

no way, he rejected her awesome shirt. no kisses for him

[sultrytempest]

[HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BEATEN WITH ONE]

That's even worse than not accepting it.

BUT IT'S PINK

[once_knighted]

[... NO THANK YOU.]

Well, what else do you want me to do? [Although, his imagination is probably making this seem worse to him than it is, thanks to the whole "wearing a dress" and "doing his hair" thing |:]

BUT SHE MADE IT FOR HIM

[sultrytempest]

[YOU ARE WORKING TOWARDS THAT GOAL]

Accept the gift graciously and wear it, of course.

[It could definitely be worse, Yuri. Definitely.]

BUT IT'S -PINK-

[once_knighted]

[FFFFFF. ... Yeah, he's getting nowhere with this, especially when all he's got left to use for arguing this amounts to "but I don't wannaaaa". So, sighing now, and--]

... Fine, I will.

[Only because you made it Judy, he'll wear it. Once. For two minutes.]

BUT SHE -MADE IT- FOR HIM

[sultrytempest]

[VICTORY. She smiles in that "ohoho I knew I would win" way that all women use at some point in their lives, contentedly withdrawing the sleeve to knit some more.]

I'm so glad we're on the same page now, dear.

YEAH, WELL ... it's still pink B|

[once_knighted]

Yeah, I'm sure. [He looks so thrilled about that, too |: He'll just start picking up his books now.]

suck it up buttercup :|

[sultrytempest]

Is there anything else I can do for you? [Hum hum, knitting is so relaxing... she feels better already.]

/weeps

[once_knighted]

[Enter kitchen, make sandwich Enter bedroom, take off cl-- He shrugs a little.]

Nothing that I can think of.

[sultrytempest]

[You're lucky you weren't banned to the couch for all your fussing, buster.]

Are you sure~?

[once_knighted]

I ... think so? [And books are picked up! \o/ He gives her a somewhat confused look.] Why?
