Lancaeriel nodded. "I'll wait here for you. We can continue our lesson if you like, but I will understand if you don't wish to. It's up to you."
She leaned against the wall and settled in to wait for Miyuki to be changed.

Miyuki hadn't thought about that, and she did give it some thought as she ducked into her room. Carefully she placed the carrier (Eevee and all) onto her bed.
It also reminded her she needed to come up with a new for her pet, but she needed to know the gender first. Though, she supposed she could always come up with some gender neutral name.
With her thoughts busy, Miyuki rummaged in her bag for her new clothes. Really, there had to be a better way to store clothing and objects for easier locating. She didn't know why she suddenly thought this, but she did. Finally bringing up some clothes that had been packed and wrapped, with a note that said it was Miyuki's next growth, she unwrapped them and took a good look.
The front had been sewn together to look like a kimono top and even had the long sleeves that denoted a more formal kimono. However, when she put it on, it stopped below her shoulders instead of covering them. Along with the skirt, it looked a bit like a kimono, but without the movement restriction or the worry that she would expose the slip from moving too much.
However it was missing something, it was a missing an obi, but instead of an obi there was a corset and yellow cloth fine enough to fit through a small space, and a clip of some sort. Miyuki stared at the corset, she had never worn one before and didn't know how she was supposed to put it on. She knew from seeing River it was supposed to be laced up but how?
After several minutes she poked her head out of her room, "Lancaeriel, Uncle Helen gave me a corset and I have no clue how I am supposed to put it on...."

Lancaeriel had drifted off in thought while she waited for Miyuki, but when Miyuki called her name, she blinked, her attention returning to the present.
"I can help you," she replied, pushing off from the wall she was leaning against. "They can be a bit tricky if you're not used to them."
She herself used a cincher rather than a corset most of the time, though when formality dictated, she would use a corset as well.

"Like an obi...." Miyuki murmured as she opened the door wider for Lancaeriel to step in, "Uncle Helen said he had made a fusion of styles for me, so I think this corset is supposed to replace the obi I normally have. It was hard to do an obi by myself too when I first started wearing them."
Of course anything where you had to tie it from the back was difficult.
"He also gave me this clip, but I don't think it's for the hair."

Lancaeriel was puzzled by the clip, and hoped that she would be able to figure it out.
"Well, let's see what we can do," she murmured, stepping inside and closing the door behind her.
She put the corset on Miyuki as she was used to having them done and laced it up with expert fingers.
"How is that?" she asked softly as she tied the cord into place.

Miyuki touched the corset and felt behind her.
"It feels fine, how do you tie the back?"
She wondered how it would end up staying in place without getting loose.

A puzzled expression came over Lancaeriel's face, and she walked around Miyuki to look at the back of the corset.
"It's already tied," she said, seeing that her assumption had been correct. "If it weren't, I would not have been able to tie the front."
She wondered though what the clip was for.

Miyuki wondered if she was even wearing the right piece. It stood out too much against the dress design. Goodness, she was starting to think like her Uncle now.
She decided to leave the clip for now, she would figure out later.
"Sorry, I'm just not use to how these are worn...."
And to be honest it wasn't quite too her taste, but perhaps it was good to wear one at least once just to see how it wore. Though who knew what went through his head sometimes. Miyuki decided she would look at them all more carefully when she packed them away.
"I have a feeling the clip wasn't meant with this, but I'll figure it out some other time," Miyuki murmured, "Thank you for helping me with this."

Lancaeriel smiled softly. "Of course. Don't worry about it. And what would you like to do now?"
They could continue their lessons of course, but Miyuki now had a pet to take care of. Plus, Lancaeriel thought she might want to let her family know that she had grown - and she had some shoes to be re-measured for.

Miyuki normally wouldn't have had any trouble continuing their lessons, but she did need to get her feet remeasured and she probably should tell her parents so they wouldn't be too surprised later.
"I should go find my parents," Miyuki admitted, "And then Shiro to find out the gender of the Eevee."
She looked over at the creature who was playing with the random bits of string left over from the wrapping.
"Oh! That reminds me...." Miyuki skittered over to her bag and rummaged around in it before pulling out a collar, "This is for it!"
The sunstone was bright and cheery against the black collar it was set upon. Padding over to her new pet, Miyuki sat on the edge of the bed and gathered the Eevee into her arms to put the collar on.

Lancaeriel smiled softly. It was a very pretty collar, and it suited the Eevee well.
"If I'm not mistaken, Shiro is with your brother, probably in one of the studies," she told Miyuki softly. "I do not know where your parents would be."
She knew that Earendil and Lin liked their time together, when Miyuki was with her and Andarien had his lessons with Shiro.

Miyuki shrugged, she knew they tended to disappear to spend time together, not that she minded. She may not remember everything from when she was a baby, but she knew for a fact that her parents have only been married for about two years now.
Give or take, world jumping and endless traveling tended to mess with her ability to tell how much time had passed.
"I'll catch my parents at lunch then," she told Lancaeriel, "So I suppose I could go look for Shiro instead, he's teaching Andarien in one of the studies right?"
Getting off the bed, she held the Eevee close to her. It just hatched so she figured it probably wouldn't be able to catch up if it walked.

"Yes," Lancaeriel nodded. "If you'd like, I'll walk as far as the library with you. The studies are just past that."
She wasn't planning on doing any more work, but she did need to get her book back before she returned to her room for a nap.

"Thank you, I'd like that," Miyuki replied.
This time she left the carrier behind, trusting that she was use to her own feet enough to be able to walk to the studies. She still wasn't sure about training, but at least she could get around.

"When you're ready, then," Lancaeriel smiled, waiting for Miyuki at the door.
She didn't want to rush Miyuki. She didn't look quite steady on her feet yet, though she was sure it would come quickly enough.
