[ The same goes for his laughter over that first response, really. It takes him a second to puzzle through the... face...? she's sent him, but hold that thought. ]

Whoa, hold on a minute, there's still time! [ Which he'd, you know, neglected to mention. Anyway - ] The ceremony's not until next month based on the letter that I found just casually sitting on a desk in the workshop like it was any old piece of mail. I asked Viktor - well, kind of asked, and he said he's not going.

I'm working on that and also how he's said doesn't want to make a big deal about it. But this is precisely the sort of thing to make a big deal over! I'm thinking the more of us who talk to him about it, the better chances we have. Hopefully.

That's one reason I was hoping it'd help if we all volunteered to go. Or said we would, since I don't see any way this doesn't become known before too long.

[ Which is also part of what he's doing here, but... ]

I reached out to Jesper at the same time as you since you're both who I thought of first for this. If there's anyone I'd trust to make sure everything goes smoothly, it's the two of you. The added flair you'll put on everything helps too, of course.

A little bribery never hurts, does it? Especially when it's a bribe with the truth. That's like double points right there!

[ Or would be if there were any points to be had here, but the rest of it is certainly true. He's seen plenty of the magic Hilda can work to ever believe anything otherwise. ]

I don't feel it's any kind of exaggeration to say Viktor's anything less than incredible. He deserves this for everything he's done, both for us and for others. The least we can do is make sure he gets recognized even if he'd rather skip that part, but maybe the party with friends will make up for it after.

Hey now, I worked hard for those points with you! I'm not surrendering them for anything, supposed past conversation or not. Though... I suppose you're right about the stubbornness so I'll grant you that. The letter said we have to reply soon so I'm keeping something I drafted saying he accepts ready to mail if we need it. I still think a party's a requirement nonetheless since the celebrating shouldn't be optional.

[ And, because Jesper brought it up and Claude's going to keep with his own advice he gave the other man - ]

By the way, what's this I hear about you opening a store soon?

Uh huh.

[ One benefit of knowing each other for so long is that while it might be written, the tone of that - doubt - will probably still come across crystal clear. ]

So if I stop by, I won't be able to find any original Hilda creations there, then? That's a shame since I bet Jesper was looking forward to that, too.

Is that so? Then in that case you won't mind if we do a little experiment with that to see how they do in the shop. Since, you know, there's plenty lying around the loft and without any slipping involved. I can think of a few of those outfits others wore to the galas that'd look nice in the windows.

What, and miss out on a chance to multitask like this? That doesn't sound like me.

[ He might be enjoying this. Don't think he won't be searching for all those creations regardless, Hilda. ]

And you mean the clothing that's going to be sold in yours and Jesper's store? See, that's all the more reason to put them into the window! You're really just giving more reason they belong there since they should be there.

I think this still files nicely under being able to do multiple things at once, really.

[ But - unlike a face to face conversation, this one is a little easier to escape considering Hilda could just always not respond at any second. And so, moving back to something adjacent: ]

Are we going to show off some more of the fashion you both created for Viktor's party? It feels fitting in the name of celebration.

Well, I can't say I'm entirely surprised about the one set but then that just means this is all the more reason to make sure he has something nice. Are you going to take him out shopping?

[ He's being obedient - for now - and leaving it there. ]
godshattering: (pic#15570278)

[personal profile] godshattering 2024-01-24 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Even better since he deserves a one of a kind creation from you both. [ Well. Mostly obedient it is. ] And he does. I'd mentioned it to him and he said to not send a reply until he says so, though I have one drafted up and ready to go anyway where he accepts the invitation. If it gets too close then it can always be mailed without delay.

[ He won't be stopped!! ]

I dunno, I bet there's plenty of nice accents that can go with a brand new outfit. But don't let me keep you from your nap though I have a feeling you'll be at the workshop by the time I get back from Aquila tonight, so we'll catch up then.

And more importantly: thanks, Hilda.

I didn't think you'd want to hold up your nap on account of waiting for me to get back. If that's not the case, well. Just say the word.

Consider it preemptive thanks since I believe in you convincing him to think about it a little more than I did. I'm still hoping he'll end up going.
