I suppose it is.

Go on then. Expand my horizons.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs as he goes through the racks, looking for something appropriate. ]

You sound so skeptical.

[unkindled_madness]

Mm. Perhaps I shouldn't be. I trust your taste.

[It just seems like such a small thing right now. Clothing.

He shouldn't be dismissive. Loki enjoys it, and joy has value. And there is some self-expression in this, however small.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pulls out a shirt, eyeing it against sephiroth. he then folds it away for later. ]

Well, the point isn't simply to adhere to my tastes. But to also perhaps explore your own.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth eyes the shirt as Loki doesn't put it back. Flowers?]

...does that come in another color? Anything but white.

[See, he has tastes. Or at least dislikes.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch. ]

All right.

[ he pulls out a few more prints. some are intense. he even picks out a few turtlenecks ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth watches, continuing to look a little skeptical. He's never worn any sort of print before. But the colors are better.

As they progress, he will select a few. Maybe he's not straying so far from his comfort zone, but it's something?]

[dothelokimotion]

Hm. Not bad at all.

[unkindled_madness]

How many of these are we collecting?

[dothelokimotion]

You can get as many as you like. I can cover it.

[unkindled_madness]

You're paying for them?

[dothelokimotion]

It was my idea. And I thought you might not want to buy as much if you felt your budget was limited.

[unkindled_madness]

...probably not.

[It would be impractical to spend money he doesn't have.]

[dothelokimotion]

Precisely. This is a chance to choose whatever you want, irrespective of money or issues.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth considers that for a moment. It's still hard to imagine buying a lot.]

Perhaps I should try some on, before we attempt to carry the store's entire stock.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki chuckles. ]

I doubt we'll take that much, but yes. Choose a few to try. I'll pick out some suits.

[unkindled_madness]

You want me to try them without you?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he blinks. ]

Ah, well, if you want me there.

[ actually, this seems like a win for him, what is he doing. ]

[unkindled_madness]

I assumed you would want to be.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. Absolutely.

[ nailed it. ]

[unkindled_madness]

All right then.

Do the suits go with the shirts?

[dothelokimotion]

Some of them would.

[unkindled_madness]

Then let's...

[It's at this point that a staff member approaches to ask them if they'd like to start a fitting room, probably because they sure look like they need one.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki acknowledges that, before herding sephiroth to a large fitting room and pulling up a chair for himself. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Well, Loki, time to enjoy your fashion show. Sephiroth is perfectly at ease with taking his shirt off, and his attention is mainly on the mirror.

He doesn't seem wild about the turtleneck, though. For one thing, it takes a little more doing to get all his hair out of that.]
