"Oh! Yes, I suppose so," Lizabeth answered, her tone just as quiet. Then she hesitated, more words bubbling up that were quickly squashed back down. It wasn't so much that she was shy. She was wary—of just about everyone. Although the details were fuzzy, she knew that she had placed her trust in the wrong people before, and it has resulted in something very, very bad.
Still. Telling the truth couldn't hurt, could it?
"The clothes here," she started, taking a deep breath and then forcing herself to talk just a bit louder, "are really very beautiful. Did I—Do you think these will look okay? On me, that is." She promptly held out payment based on her quick calculations. This transaction made her nervous, and it hit her that she'd never really handled money before.

Elekt collects the money from her in a slow deliberate manner, smiling softly. "Thank you, and I think that will look just fine on you, very soft, and really, how you feel about an item is much more important than what people will think of you for wearing it. Clothing is meant to be comfortable, for who you are or for your physical body, is dependent on the wearer."
"If you like the garment then it is perfect for you."

Ozma slid it on, and carefully fastened up the buttons. She then stretched a little, adjusted it so it sat more comfortably, and moved about a bit, getting a feel for it. She then bounced on her feet, and headed to the counter to pay, happy.
Meanwhile, when the corsets were brought out, Bellisimo almost JUMPED to run out the door for a minute. He had an excited expression on his face. When he returns, he's leading FOUR more kits in. He pulls them over to the selection, and while they oooo and aaaaaah, he snags up the black corset, and dances around. "Sir, I'd like this please!"
Areimiea immediately spotted the Starry one and picked it up. He stared at it, then softly began to oooo at it, his fingers caressing the soft fabric, before he picks it up, and whispers softly "This, please? It's perfect for me..." He looks shyly at Elekt.
Snickt, meanwhile, examined all the corsets, his hands behind his back. He didn't touch anything at first, until he'd decided on the ONE he wanted. He examined it, then nodded, picked it up, and waited quietly for his turn to pay.
Oyama just calmly selected the Pink corset, and finds a mirror. Standing in front of it, the SakeKit places it against themselves, and tilts it's head. Finally, it put the corset on, and studied itself in the mirror more. After a minute, it calmly walked over to the counter, and waited patiently.
Prismos, meanwhile, was bouncing around the shop, ooo'ing at all the pretty things. Once the others had selected their choices, he bounced over to the Corsets and picked the blue one up happily. "SO pretty! Must have it!"

 She'd figured out email all on her own- well, more, she'd found a book on Computers for Dummies, and it had told her about email. So she'd emailed Q to let him know, and he'd emailed her back with a time and a place. She was a bit early, having set out early out of what felt like habit, in case there was trouble.
So Melpomene lingered outside the shop, eying the brightly-colored cardigans inside, and the bags, and all the fabrics, considering just what she should get. It was a hard choice, but something warm would be nice.

Elekt quickly helped one kit after another, assuring Areimiea that it was indeed perfect, nodding acceptance to Prismos' exuberant claim on the blue corset, and collecting money as it was presented. Offering alterations in size or patches as was needed. Finally he handled Oyama's order, politely greeting the sakekit at the register.
One thing was for certain, he needed to hire in an assistant to handle sales or he'd never get any detail work done.
He was running a little late, well late for him, which meant not early. Doing up his tie as he went, he'd slept in after coding most of the night, Muon and Milly were still cuddled up on the cot in his makeshift lab, and after the scavenging, scouting, and work they'd all done the night before, would likely be out till he returned.
Picking up his speed when he noticed Melly waiting, he ran the rest of the way, nearly choking himself on his tie and messenger bag strap. "Sorry sorry, you've not been waiting long have you?"

After Elekt helped them all, Prismos and Ozma hugged him, which hopefully did NOT upset or offend the lovely tailor, and the crowd of Kits that had descended mostly together on the shop left after paying all proper fees.

Melpomene shook her head, "Oh no, not at all. It's nice to window-shop a little." She looks a little concerned at his half-choking, and adds, "Really, no need to run like that..." But she tries a small smile, "But clearly you're eager, let's go in!" And she takes his arm and yanks him in, going straight for the cardigans she'd been eyeing.

Elekt having retreated to the space behind the register, greets them with a smile when they entered a moment or two after the exodus of the kits before. "Hello dears, if you need any help just ask." and with this said he turned his attention back to counting out coins.
Pulled to the cardigans Q grins, his eyes already laying heavy on the orange knit one he'd mentioned the other day. Hidden from the window display were a number of other items, including a selection of corsets he did no more than glance over. Hand outstretched he feels the quality of the wool between his fingers and guesses it to be on the higher end. Perhaps not angora, but at least cashmere.
"The selection is wider than what I'd seen from the window the other day."

Melly isn't one to kick the tires before buying- she'd scooped up a cardigan while he was checking the others, and was already gazing around the store, restless.
"It is," She agrees, "But Muffin said he's good, so I guess that makes sense." She moves around, browsing, frowning or fussing over this and that- her interest in the bags seems to mainly concern if they contain anything. When she gets the corsets, she pauses, not quite able to comprehend their presence. "Er," she says quietly, and turns away, briefly unnerved. "Quite the selection," she says instead, circling back to the cardigans to stand by Q.

Q shadows her in a polite manner, browsing in her wake as it were. His own messenger bag did not need replacing, and he'd selected the cardigan he'd already wanted. Efficient, he'd scanned the shop for anything else and was ultimately prepared to leave when Melpomene was- until.
Until, he stopped and looked over the corsets again. Full-body, with stitching along the boning and bows on a few of them. "Something wrong?" He asks Mel, standing in front of the display, looking on at the selection curiously.

For a moment, her eyes are rounded with dismay and a bit of embarrassment, and her gaze darts briefly to the corsets and back again, like a guilty child caught around something she shouldn't. Then her smile comes back, "Oh, nothing." She trills, keeping from staring. "I just, well, it's quite surprising to see those out, don't you think?"
To her, the corsets ping as scandalous. Nice Women didn't wear them like that, colorful and embellished like that. Her only memories are of them in beige, unobtrusive, never referred to.

Q rounds back to the corsets, studying them with more care. They didn't appear to be alarming, rather modestly bodiced and fully covering at that. But that must be why Melpomene was nervous, he couldn't see another reason for embarrassment. "Well Melly, it isn't like we've got anything for them to show off. They're more like swimsuits for coverage at that." He reached out for a floral one, taking it off the rack by the hanger to hold it up. The blue flowers accented his fur.
"I've seen worse for gaudiness." He lowers his voice at this so at to not offend the shop-keeper.

"You... have?" Melpomene asks, trying and failing to conceal her surprise. "They're um, they're awfully pretty, I mean the blue is rather nice," she babbles on. He rather had a point, they weren't much worse than swimsuits and modesty was rather unnecessary now. "Oh, look, a pink one!" She continues, and pulls a pink floral one off the rack. It is rather lovely, she has to admit.
But she still feels a little shy. Q didn't seem to mind these at all, and she mustn't be afraid like she used to be, right? If he wasn't afraid, she had nothing to be afraid of.
