Nodding to Mitsu, Shun went up to the demoness and quietly requested to have his lycan fitted. The woman at the desk clasped her hands together excitedly, then grabbed some measuring tape, as well as a notepad to jot things down. Once she had all of that, she beckoned the werewolf over.
"Come. Come now. This won't take long," she smiled. When she did, she took little time to do the needed measurements, writing things down as she went.
"Here they are now," she said while tearing the paper slip out and handing it to the girl. The demoness turned her attention towards the Reaper, who then begrudgingly took his turn to do so. He mostly needed to get her numbers, but he played along.
Once that was all said and done, he moved back towards Mitsu, then motioned for her to go pick something out.

Before Mitsu knew what was happening the demoness has beckoned her over and had started the measurements. She was quick but that didn't keep Mitsu from jerking from time to time as the lady welcomed herself into her space to pull the tape around her chest, waist, hips, and so on. Once it seemed every last inch of her had been measured Mitsu took the slip of paper and waited for Shun to go through the same treatment. Quietly she wondered what Shun would pick out to wear, looking around the shop at the outfits they had for men. They weren't nearly as elaborate. At least most of them weren't.
"Umm.." Once Shun motioned for her to pick something out there was only a little hesitation before she moved to the kimono she had been looking at earlier. She liked it the best with its sumi-e style branches and light colored petals on white and black. "I..I like this one." It looked like the matching patterned obi was black so the color scheme wasn't much different than anything else that Mitsu wore.

While Mitsu went to pick, Shun did the same. He wasn't really as interested, but he went ahead and did so anyway. It at least didn't take him too long to find something that was along his tastes. It was a simple black men's kimono with some gold trim. It wasn't too different from his normal color scheme really.
"Alright. I can try to help you get yours on. They're... a little complicated," he stated while guiding her to the dressing room. The demoness raised a brow at the two, but said nothing. She just hoped they weren't up to funny business.
There, the Reaper had to take a moment or so to think about where they needed to start. But, he went on and helped her get dressed into the thing to the best of his ability.

Getting dressed in a kimono was far more involved than Mitsu imagined. The garment seemed far too long but after some tucking and folding, wrapping and tying everything seemed to fall into place. There was a little bit of trial and error but in the end she was finally dressed and took a step back so that Shun could see his handy work.
"How do I look?" She turned for him once before she managed to spot a mirror. Scooting toward it she was surprised at her reflection, lifting the sleeves and turning again slowly to get the full imagery of her outfit. It was really pretty and made her look different somehow. Maybe a little more grown up perhaps?

Shun hoped he had done that correctly. But stepping back, everything looked about right, thankfully. His eye softened as he looked her over, and he nodded to her. The way she looked right now was quite stunning, and he wasn't sure why he hadn't thought of trying to get her a kimono earlier on. Then again, clothing and fashion wasn't really something he thought about all that much, so that was likely why.
"You look beautiful. Just as I expected," he said with a subtle smile touching his lips.
"I.. guess I should try getting mine on?"

Smiling faintly Mitsu ducked her head shyly at Shun's comment. She was pretty sure it was mostly the kimono doing the work but Shun always said the nicest things to lift her spirit.
At the mention of his own outfit Mitsu nodded, moving closer to lend a hand. "I can help, just tell me what to do." His outfit didn't look as complicated but that didn't mean it wouldn't give them trouble.

Kimono or not, Shun felt that Mitsu was always a lovely sight to see. Nodding to her, he went on and carefully tried to get the men's kimono on. He guided Mitsu into helping him put the garment's on, but it was thankfully not quite as complicated as the one she was wearing. After a little while, everything was placed on.
Smoothing down a part of the fabric, he looked himself over, then looked up to the lycan curiously.

After a little bit of work Shun was in his kimono too and Mitsu had to say it looked rather nice. Helping to sooth out a few places she took a step back, a smile on her face. She wasn't used to this sort of fashion but it suited him.
"You look so good!" It was too bad they couldn't keep them, not to mention Mitsu wasn't sure where she would wear such a thing. The kimono was very pretty but not practical for every day wear.
"Have a look for yourself." Taking hold of Shun's arm, Mitsu pulled him toward the mirror so he could see how he looked in his outfit.

As he was urged towards the mirror, the Reaper looked himself over. It was a little strange to see himself in this sort of attire. While he had traditional garb before, a full kimono outfit wasn't really something he had really donned.
"I look alright I guess. Different from my usual style," he said while tilting his head a little,
"I think you look better in yours," he commented.

"You look more than alright." Mitsu insisted rather sternly while she placed her hands on her hips. Her expression softened immediately though and she smiled tugging lightly on the fabric that made up Shun's kimono. It felt soft and delicate but she imagined it was stronger than it appeared.
"We should probably take them off now. The lady out front probably expects us to buy them." Mitsu mumbled, not sure how she was going to handle salesman pressure. Demons were especially good at it.
"What kind of occasions do you usually wear kimono's for?" While she spoke Mitsu busied herself trying to figure out how to get back out of the kimono. Hopefully it wasn't as complicated to get out of as it was to get into it.

Shun raised a brow at Mitsu but didn't argue against her. Instead, he just nodded quietly to her as she said they should probably remove them and get back to their normal clothing. He went on and helped the lycan out, but paused at her question, taking a moment to think about it.
"In the old days, they were worn rather regularly as every day wear. Some do now. Junko wears some modified ones after all. Other than that... they can be worn for a number of different special occasions," he answered.
After loosening things up for his fiance, he went on and did the same for himself.
"It's more that there's a number of different variants of kimono for different sorts of things."

Waiting as Shun helped her loosen a few things Mitsu was careful to pull the kimono off and folded it neatly before she began to redress in her other clothes. She nodded quietly at his comment, it was true that Junko wore something similar though it was more of just the top with a short skirt instead of something that went all the way down to her feet.
"Oh? Special occasions?" Mitsu pictured what kind of events they would be worn at. They had worn something similar, though simple, for a festival at school.
"Maybe we can save up and have something similar." They probably wouldn't be the same, especially if she was saving. It would be a slow process but maybe they could have something close in look if not quality for their wedding. That was a special occasion right?
With her regular clothes back in place Mitsu lifted the folded kimono back into her arms and touched the fabric lightly. It really was pretty, it was a shame it was so expensive. "Are you ready?"

Shun nodded to that once more.
"Yes. Sometimes for simple things such as concerts or tea ceremonies or even visiting a temple. But otherwise, it'll be for a number of different festivals, or things like weddings," he stated. He didn't realize she was thinking about weddings in specific, but he figured she might be interested in that part.
"I'm sure we can get some nice ones down the line," the reaper nodded before doing so again to say that he was ready to put the kimono away so that they could head on out.
"Is there anything around the city you'd like to see? This is your first time in a place like this after all."

Once they were ready Mitsu brought her kimono back out front and handed it back to the demon that ran the store and thanked her for letting her try it on before bowing slightly. Once she straightened she turned to Shun, tilting her head in thought on the question.
"I'm...not really sure where there is to see. There are lots of buildings and people..." Then with an idea she took Shun's hand. "Do you have any suggestions? Maybe a place you liked to go to?"

Shun thought about that for a moment or so, then looked around a bit once they were outside. After some time, he shook his head for now.
"I can't think of anything at the moment, but if something comes to mind, we can do that," he said with a nod. And so, he went on to make his way towards his bike once more and placed his helmet on so that they could head on back.
