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.
[ Is that the sound of Hilda racing around the loft in tandem with Perry to hide all her creations so Claude won't be able to find them? Why, yes. Yes it is. ]
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. ]
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.
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.
[ While it would be mean of her to gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss Claude - it would serve him right for his repeated attempts at "bullying" her...oh, who is she kidding she's going to a little bit because it serves him right. ]
[ Here's a sigh which can probably be felt in Cadens all the way from Aquila. ]
I dunno, Hilda. Looks kind of like a person if I squint at it? Like when you used to doodle on notes when we absolutely weren't passing them back and forth in class because we were perfect students.
That's because there's only one talented artist here, and it's certainly not me. But wait, what are the other ones? You can't just mention there's more and not share them!
Well, why didn't you say there was a book? You know that's a way to get me into doing anything.
As is a nap with you, and always far more so than any book could ever be a lure. I'll see if I can get everything done earlier than originally planned if it won't put your afternoon too far behind to wait a little bit.
