[ oh. the thought bubble stops because this looks so straightforward that he likes it. ]
I can probably do a watch. The only jewelry that should matter is her ring. [ just taking these. ] This... works. It looks nice. I don't think I've actually been in a suit since I quit band in junior high or something. And a few weeks ago for the party on the other side.
I never really had occasions to use them after that. I skipped out on most of the stuff at school and never felt like I'd need one. [ although he does, in fact, see the appeal... ]
Can't hurt to take it home either. [ it's free? why not. ] Thanks.
[ he does not address the thoughtshare, and instead statement piece shoes are important. if jacopo wants to ask out loud he can, but until then it's gone goodbye. ]
Probably also black, right? Matching buckle or something.
Yes, ideally. The shape and design are important, even though they seem negligible.
[ Demonstrates the difference between like... Wearing pointed-toe boots vs round-squarish-toe loafers by just placing it in front of Caspian and the mirror. ]
Why do these feel more threatening. [ he says, staring at the pointed boots. but he does put his sneaker-clad foot side by side to each kind to get an idea. ]
I definitely do not need an edge, no. [ square toe it is. ] We are feeling that this is as good as it's gonna get, but at least it looks like it should be comfortable. Hopefully it'll actually look as good put together, but I trust your judgment.
It... hadn't occurred to me. [ though he should because if they do actually look stupid somehow he should probably know ahead of time. fine. we have a single changing room. ]
I won't be long. [ disappears behind the curtain dramatically. ]
but he does eventually wander out dressed up. shockingly, he knows exactly how to pull himself together enough he looks like a whole other person, basically. give him a second to adjust the sleeves of the jacket. ]
[ i don't know how to go "the man has daddy issues and never learned about this" so he just kind of slips his hands in his pockets to do a lil twirl and wander off to another part of the shop. he's a very sharpdressed man, look at him go. the unfortunate thing is that he has the capability of being really hot but he actively chooses not to. ]
She would do that to me just to get revenge, but I think a date is actually important to her. Even if it feels really stupid to be overdressed in this place, but it's easier here than at home. So... thanks. I would've probably spent more time staring than picking something out.

[ Men's fashion is very formulaic... They're also not looking to be too overdone. ]
A good time to have another occasion to wear and own one. I do see the appeal.
[ suits are not middle ages.... but he has memories of his 1860s self. ]

[ with an afterlife and what he knows about their WEIRD ADVANCED TECH WORLD. A suit for you now. ]
It's not a problem. Are you thinking of prepping your hair at all?
no subject
looks at his hair though... ]
I hadn't thought about it. I tried doing something with it for the party here and hated it, so... probably never again.
no subject
... What did you try?
[ He's curious. ]
no subject
it lasts all of five seconds before he immediately drops his hands like the hair has personally offended him. (it has, actually.) ]
Like that. I don't want that.
no subject
It actually doesn't look half-bad, but it isn't very you. And she's in love with you.
no subject
Yeah. It fits the other guy, and I don't want to be him. So... guess I'll leave it like this. [ messy. ]
no subject
Your shoes then.
[ YOUR STATEMENT PIECE SHOES. ]

[ Jacopo really didn't give a shit about fashion when he was younger, but being lord forces you to be into stuff to be Cultured. ]
What are we feeling? Hopefully, not drawing blanks this time.

You're not going to try them on now?

you.... are so strange... and so funny... he is like... so fascinated...

Well?

Anyway, he gives Caspian a look and gestures with a hand to turn around, do a little walk, etc. ]
no subject
Any complaints?
no subject
No, it looks good, in my opinion. It would only look bad if she ended up in casual clothing, so you're overdressed.
