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. ]

Your shoes then.
[ YOUR STATEMENT PIECE SHOES. ]

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.
