The next day we got up, ate, and immediately left to get me and Pram some new clothes fit for Vanir. Freya brought us to a place that she said was reasonable with its prices and pretty neutral when it came to Family connections. When we arrived at our destination and entered the shop, a friendly voice called out to us.
“Welcome. What can I interest such cute customers so early in the day?”
“Me and my friend here are here to get some clothes that will help with the weather while also being easy to move in.” (Keeno)
“Something like what my other companion is wearing would be nice, but if there isn’t something like that then it doesn’t really matter to us all that much.” (Keeno)
“Alright. Lastly, any special requests? Specific colors or something or do you want the usual black, white, and grey?”
“If you have anything with colors similar to the orange sun, I’m all for it.” (Keeno)
“I’d like something with some silver highlights if you have some, though I can also go with indigo if you don’t.” (Pram)
“Hmm. Come over here for a few minutes. I need to check your measurements for when we find you something so we can get it perfect.”
We did as the shop lady said and walked over to a small, raised dais surrounded by mirrors in the back of the shop. The shopkeep then turned back to us.
“Are either of you familiar with getting measurements done? If not, then please undress some so I can get a proper measurement. Rest assured that, once I’m done everything will remain confidential.”
Pram tilted her head at that last bit.
“I assume some people would have tried something nefarious if that’s something you have to say?” (Keeno)
“I’ll step out then, I don’t need anything. When you’re both done come get me.” (Freya)
We nodded to Freya and then turned back to the clerk.
“I’ll go first.” (Keeno)
I undressed enough for the clerk to get the proper measurements which didn’t take long, though the clerk had several things to say about my figure.
{What does she mean to big? Keeno’s breasts and thighs are magnificent and perfect!}
‘I think she’s just jealous.’
{Well, I can understand that. I mean, I get all of that for myself, so it’s only natural people would get jealous of what they can’t have.}
‘True words, Ama, true words.’
After Pram was done and we got dressed again, the clerk brought us out to the main shop where numerous outfits were displayed.
“You said you wanted something similar to your other companion’s clothes, right? How close are you thinking, exact same, or just a similar aesthetic?”
“Similar aesthetic for me.” (Keeno)
“Got it. Ah, it’s been so long since I’ve had such easy clients, no offence.”
“I’m guessing most people are really picky about what they want?” (Keeno)
“You have no idea. It’s too tight, it’s too loose, there aren’t enough embroideries, blah, blah, blah.”
The clerk kept venting all her annoyances with her usual clientele while picking up and moving around clothes as she shuffled through things while every so often throwing one over her arm.
‘Ama, don’t watch for a while, once I completely decide on something and change into is I’ll tell you and let you see.’
{You sly fox you, fine, I’ll check on Fia for a bit.}
Once the clerk was done collecting things, she walked over to us again and handed me and Pram our respective choices.
“Go to the changing rooms over there and try these on, if you need help, I’ll assist. Once you find the ones you like and are set on getting them, I’ll fix them up to the sizes we just took.”
We both thanked the clerk and went to the changing rooms. After a while of figuring out how to put these on properly and deciding on what we wanted, we walked out of the changing rooms wearing our preferred outfits. Seeing this the clerk came over and, upon seeing us, nodded her head.
“You two look really good in those. Now, let’s get to the rest.”
We again took the chosen clothes off and handed them over to the clerk who took them and, after two hours, came back with the freshly tailored clothes. We asked the price and once we paid, we borrowed the changing rooms again so we could wear the clothes out. Once we got to the shopfront where Freya was waiting, she was sitting in a chair looking out the window at the rain.
“Anyone ever tell you that you’d be a good model for art?” (Keeno)
“Hmm. I can see it, too bad neither of us is good at painting.” (Pram)
She just turned back to looking out the window, though I could tell she was happy about the compliment by the slight waving of her tail.
‘Oh Ama~ Come and see~’
{You call I answ…Dear Me…I-I’m speechless…}
While leaving Ama stunned, I returned my attention back to our group.
“Well, let’s go and get the rest of these delivery jobs done. This already took way longer than I figured it would, not that I regret it.” (Keeno)
Freya got up from the chair and we all walked out of the shop. I immediately noticed the difference between these clothes and the ones I was wearing when we got to the shop.
“This is so much better.” (Pram)
“Can we get these deliveries over with now?” (Freya)
“Yeah, and while I get it, why are you in a hurry?” (Keeno)
“I don’t know, I just feel like we need to move. It’s like the presence of death is close.” (Freya)
“I mean, I’m right here.” (Keeno)
“And isn’t the Dead Zone somewhere in the city? Shouldn’t that feeling always be present?” (Pram)
“That’s not what I meant! Let’s just go.” (Freya)
She then started to walk off in a direction. Pram and I traded glances before quickly walking after her.
Amaterasu: Keeno so hot in a suit. Glad I don’t need to blink; I shall carve her image into my mind.
Luna: Someone’s excited.
Tamamo: It’s understandable. I was the same when you got your favorite outfit.
Luna: I never said I didn’t get it. What do you think I did when I first laid my eyes on you?
Tamamo: I sometimes wonder why all of us kitsune are .
It’s not just kitsune, Tamamo. Anyone so madly in love with their significant other would react when they see their significant other wearing something good looking like that. Even I’m the same with Order.
Luna: Speaking of, I haven’t seen her and Astraea in a while.
They went out on a mother-daughter bonding thing, or at least that’s what I think they called it.
Luna: Ah. Well, I hope they have fun.
