Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zecane had every intention of leading the way and after a block or two, the team ended up in front of a quaint little tailor shop. The painted white lettered sign above was slowly corroding away, but at least the words were still visible. A fancy sign wasn't the element that attracted tourist to this place, it was the home warming atmosphere. Once inside, the captain made their surprise presence know and upon waiting, Alice decided to examine the store. To most people, there wasn't much to recon but the multi-colored fabrics catch her bright blue eye's interest quickly.

Covering the neutral colored walls underneath, shades of blues, greens, purples, soft pinks, and elaborated designs fabrics rested on racks. Working on a farm, she never really had enough money to buy decent clothes for herself. The trainee had to struggle to make her own outfits out of what little materials she had laying around the house. Not to mention, sewing the garments together improperly with a dull rusted sewing needle. It took her about two days to collaborate an outfit because the one she was wearing before wasn't able to be saved even by repairs. The blonde only wished that one day she could own a professionally made attire.

The captain's bother revealed himself and the similarities between the two was uncanny. Alice was thoroughly impressed by the twins appearances and wondered if her and Mari looked so much alike. The farm girl smiled politely and waited for interaction.

Much like Zecane, his brother was humble and handsome as well. Vince wasn't an average day to day tailor, ostensibly he trained in secret for reasons unverified. Alice didn't want to plunge to deep into his personal affairs considering they are just acquaintances. However, the trainee had a feeling that he was more than trust worthy. The captain wanted to continue to badger him about his secrets, but somethings are best left in the dark. At least in her opinion, she had an overbearing amount of unmentioned facts weighing on her shoulders. The farm girl felt that her and Vince connected immediately even if he didn't feel the invisible ties between them. He counted as a good candidate for a little plan she had hiding up her sleeves or in this case boot.

The snow haired male surprised the group by offering to buy them garments for a ball being held tonight. Alice had to contain her spontaneous excitement because her wish had just come true. Yumi refused, and she wondered if Cole would follow in the not-so-timid girl's footsteps. The blonde accepted the generous donate because she knew the captain would be hurt if she did. Men loved nothing more to spoil their woman because it gives them a sense of pride. Plus, the female was sure that another change like this wouldn't come around for a while. Stepping forward, she said politely, "Vince, will you please take my measurements and make me a beautiful gown?" She questioned.

Alice would actually look like a lady for the first time in her life instead of a dirty tomboy. Hopefully, Zecane will approve of her new appearance because to be honest she really wanted to impress him. She gestured the sibling to lead the way or he could take the measurements there in the open. Either way worked for her and she wasn't in any hurry.

Her love didn't retort from Yumi's request and repeated her choice knowing that he would do the same. He delightfully chuckled as the young trainee had her measurements taken. How long it would take to sew a dress of such pristine caliber has yet to be mentioned. Alice had no doubt that the male could accomplish the task within and hour or two. The ball would commence until sunrise at the most especially with the drinks they're serving. No one that originated from a lesser background like her would pass such expenses. Vince was confident of his abilities to succeed in impressing her so had faith in him.

When Zecane's brother commented on their love affairs, Alice blushed bright red. Hopefully, Vince approved of them being together since she still assumed she wasn't adequate enough for the captain's standards. Trying to shake off the embarrassment, she changed the subject. "What color fabric do you think is good for me? I like blue, but your a better judge of materials then I am." She laughed uncomfortably.

Alice was glad the male agreed to advance forward with her color idea. She figured blue wouldn't contrast with an element all ready attached to her body. Vince mentioned a bathhouse not to far from the shop and the farm girl thought it was a wonderful proposal. However, she would let the others go ahead if they choose so she could talk to the white haired sibling alone. As trilled as she was, her sister's journal still weighed heavily upon her restless mind. The events that occurred throughout the day were more than heart wrenching.

Apparently, Vince had a keen observation about her openly expressive emotions. He reassured him to pay him no mind and she smiled only until he brought up the former lover. The girl still felt so insignificant compared to Zecane's previous savior. Her head drooped slight and her face was filled with despair. Who was she kidding? The trainee could never compare to a legend so why was the captain wasting his time with her. More importantly, he's buying expensive luxuries for her and the others. The female could never repay him no matter how hard she tried.
