Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Keia]

"Actually," Zykovian looked kind of sheepish, "I was hoping you could give advice to Lyveria on clothes and what to wear. I haven't seen a more well dressed one than you Glamour . . . whether it was casual wear or elegant wear. Being a guy, I just didn't know how to help with something like that."

"Ohhh, I see," Glamour smiles, "I could help her find her style niche and try on some dresses, though I'm afraid if she's anything like Molpe, she's not going to want to put anything back afterwards," she smiles wryly.

"I am not sure whether it is to my credit or discredit, but in that sense, I am not like Miss Lilypetals. You need not fear."

"Oh, don't be so sure until you see what I have in store for you," Glamour laughs, "Zykovian, if anyone else comes in, tell them to wait. I'm not expecting any customers, however. Would you like me to bring her out to model the outfits for you, Zykovian?"

 

[Keia]

"I can do that," Zykovian replied in request to Glamour on the customers. "As for modeling, that would be her choice, as I want this for her benefit much more than my own. Thank you, Glamour, for your help on this."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"It's no trouble. While my dresses are far too expensive to make for me to give them away, even to friends, I'm more than happy to help with fashion questions," Glamour nods, "Do you want to model them, Lyveria?"

"I don't mind either way. I suppose if I did so, it might take more time from you and prevent you from helping paying customers, so let's just do it faster and not do that, unless Zykovian wants to see. Of course, he could also come into the changing room and see me try on all the dresses if he wants."

*Glamour arches an eyebrow.*

"Well Zykovian?"

 

[Keia]

"Ummm . . . if I went back there, it would likely take even longer, I would think," Zykovian replied, slightly embarassed. "As to the modeling, I'll be happy either way . . . While I'm certain I would enjoy the modeling, I understand that we're under a bit of a time constraint . . . and I don't want you, Glamour, to miss out on customers and the like."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, Zykovian said he would enjoy the modeling," Lyveria says.

"Okay, so we'll do that. If a customer shows up, we'll hurry it up."

*Glamour leads Lyveria back and to a back room and has her come out periodically with different fashions, including an elaborate and elegant silver-and-blue gown, an enticing low-cut red and copper corset, a simple and lovely white and gold dress, a soft lavender Larakese yukata, and more.*

*Eventually, a customer heads into the shop, and Glamour, noting this, nods and turns to Zykovian:*

"Okay, I think we're basically done here. I've done all of Lyveria's measurements, so you should be able to get an easy fitting if you want to shop somewhere else. Is there anything else you need?"

 

[Keia]

"Need?" Zykovian asked rhetorically with a wink, "No, nothing I need. I do appreciate your time and assistance, Glamour. If you have any recommendations for shops . . . or if perhaps there is something that Lyveria liked . . . ."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Lyveria kept saying that the dresses were beautiful and showed fine craftmanship but were too expensive, so she would feel guilty if you had to pay for them," Glamour replies.

"That is an effective summary, yes," Lyveria agrees, "I really don't need anything more than simple clothes. I was told the dresses made me look beautiful, however, so if making me look beautiful is a consideration, then perhaps we should find a dress that is less expensive."

 

[Keia]

"Lyveria, you're beautiful with or without the dress," Zykovian offered. "The dress complemented your features and your own inner beauty . . . as all good dresses should and all good designers know."

"If you wish to look elsewhere for changes of clothes . . . if you want any at all, either is fine with me," Zykovian added.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"We agreed that a woman should have spare sets of clothes, right?" Lyveria enquires, "But it should be okay if they are all simple clothes, right?"
