26. [ RL with Larsa ]

[areyoulovers]

[ Mileina's waiting outside a Union theater; ever since the elevator collapse, the AEU had become a bit more difficult to get to quickly, so the west coast of the Union had become her preferred port of call. She's wearing a sweater and a short denim skirt with leggings, playing with her phone while she waits for Larsa to appear ]

[He had been told to wear something nice. Button down shirt, ties - and contrary to Birkin's advice - not a lab coat but a nice suit jacket (http://www.parade.com/images/-v4/celebrity/2009/0802/default-hugh-dancy-v2.jpg) to meet her. It wasn't long till he realized that he was completely overdressed. Secondly, he had the sinking realization that the young girl that he was going to be was ... a little bit older than he remembered.


And somewhat more attractive.


A lot more attractive.


Oh dear.]

Mileina? [He asks cautiously. Please let it be the wrong person, it would be a lot less perplexing.]

[areyoulovers]

[ She looks up from her phone, and in about five seconds of looking at him she realizes what's happened. She claps her hand over her mouth before responding guiltily ] Mr. Larsa, did you think it was the same thing as a real theater? I should have been more clear!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[.... He looks at her clothes, then back to his before giving a defeated sigh. That would explain the perplexed feeling, right? It was because he was out of place and it was not at all Mileina.]

Oh, forgive me, I misunderstood.

[areyoulovers]

[ la de da Mr. Larsa is so silly isn't he ] Well, let's see! If you take your coat and tie off you would probably just look like an office worker who hadn't had time to change... but if you'd like, we could also get you a new outfit!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[.... ahahaha, yes, he was. But, he did as she asked. Though, it didn't help much.] Is this better?

[areyoulovers]

...Let's go shopping, Mr. Larsa. [ ...he is too dignified to push along and she can't very well grab his hand when he's standing there being handsome, so after a moment of confused thought she grabs his sleeve and starts taking him off to the shops!! ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[O-Oh, that's what was going on. He allows himself to be tugged along while he looks around at such a different world. Everything was on the ground, unlike in Archades where they had built up.] How very fascinating.

[areyoulovers]

Yes, I suppose it's very different than Archades! Some of the cities look a little more like it, especially in the HRL, but it's still a very unique place. [ WE ARE ON BUSINESS so she continues tugging him down the road, before pulling him right into a likely-looking store ] Hmm... I suppose you wouldn't know your size here, so we'll just have to experiment!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[... Not before he lingers and checks for any vulnerable spots for Tieria to hide. Though when he does enter, it's even more foreign than being in a village with warrior rabbit ladies.]


I suppose? Though, 'tis your area of expertise. I am merely your canvas.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, no, I'm no expert, Mr. Larsa! I watch quite a few dramas with very fashionable characters, that's all! [ and thus she commences operation: make Larsa stylish. She walks around him once, making thoughtful sort of noises, and then rushes off towards the denim section, pulling two or three pair off the shelves. Larsa you are going to have to follow her around the store ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Dramas? [Though he doesn't get to finish his question. So, he follows her around like a lost puppy. A lot of these clothes aren't really practical, are they? He looks at a mannequin; that doesn't seem very comfortable, does it?]

[Oh, those seem really ... easy to put on. ] I suppose you do not worry about wild attacks.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, that's right, I suppose a lot of your clothing must need to be protective! Hold these for me, please? [ she piles the jeans into his arms and bounds off to look at jackets ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

That is - ah, yes of course. [He's getting rather nervous, how is he going to put all these clothes on????]

[areyoulovers]

[ WELL YOU JUST TRY THEM ON SILLY YOU DON'T WEAR THEM ALL AT ONCE she's getting into this now, holding up first one jacket and then another before adding them both to the pile ] All right, Mr. Larsa, it's time for the dressing room!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

... Alright. [He just. waddles into a dressing room and starts undressing and taking forever to put it together.]

Is this good? [He calls from the dressing room, not thinking to come out. It had been forever since he hadn't had a tailor on him and it had become a force of habit.]

[areyoulovers]

Mr. Larsa, I can't come in! That's the boy's dressing room!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. [He steps out, appropriately dressed (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cNGw_mdqLp4/STmJuTa0HUI/AAAAAAAAAQY/vjWGSrx0OqE/s400/Ads_Gap_The+Cord+Blazer+%28$88%29,+worn+by+Hugh+Dancy.jpg) for the occassion. He had grabbed a scarf from the changing wrack that was in the room (the poor sod had to find something else, THANK YOU).] Am I wearing right? [Turning around figure out if he does. So odd wearing something without a belt for a sword or pockets for items.]

[areyoulovers]

[ she claps her hands together in delight ] Oh, I guessed right! I knew my engineer's eye would help me pick the right sizes! You look very handsome, Mr. Larsa!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. It is rather odd to wear so little gear, I must say. [Then he remembers that she'd have to pay for him.] I am quite afraid that I do not have any gil to pay you. [Then he remembers that he's wearing a pair of sapphire earrings, reaches to take them off and hand them to her.] This should be enough to pay you back.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, n-no, that's all right, Mr. Larsa! For one thing that would be far too much, and for another I really have plenty of money! [ TRIES TO FIRMLY GIVE THEM BACK sobbb ]

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Oh no, do not worry. Mayhaps they would look better on you? [He closes her hands around them.]

[areyoulovers]

[ larsa you are flustering her ): ] But I don't even have pierced ears, Mr. Larsa! It's really too much!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

Forgive me, almost everyone in Ivalice has pierced ears. [Walking away without taking them back 8D]

[areyoulovers]

Oh, well that's-- Mr. Larsa, come back! [ YOU TRICKSTER!! she runs after him, pouting a bit, then runs back, grabs the discarded clothes from the changing room, and catches up with him around the counter ] You're much too generous, Mr. Larsa! I know you're an emperor, but really!

[imperializing.livejournal.com]

[o3o Oh, where did we come from? Over here?] Hmmm? [What was that? He offers a small smile before shrugging it off.] Please, consider it as a thank you for getting me out of the palace.
