[ So the seamstress is here too. That’s the only thought that circulates in Professor Anaxagoras’ head as he makes his way through the city, looking for that woman’s tailor shop. Of course she’d opened a tailor. Hadn’t one of her dreams always been to return to dressmaking?
As he finally locates the store, he hesitates at the door for just a moment. Is there a point to this? Does she even want to see him? Or, like Cifera, will she even remember him? … Why is he doubting himself? That woman preys on hesitation like a lioness prepared to go in for the kill. What’s the worst that can happen, anyway?
[Aglaea's busy working on a piece of weaving, using a loom instead of her magic, when Anaxa walks in. Hearing her name, she looks up, then turns towards the door.
[ There she is. Almost exactly as he recalls her--which is a rather strange way to think of a companion that he had only just seen, what, a month ago? Two? Has it been that long already...? ]
I... am a friend of Phainon's. He insisted that I pay you a visit to see what you have on offer. [ She looks... well. He's glad that she looks well. ] I was hoping that you might be able to help me... dress a little less conspicuously.
[ He eyes the Leavanny closely as it draws near to him. This reminds him of something... ]
This is... a Pokemon, isn't it? [ Mydeimos has shown him several such creatures that live at his cafe, and at home with him. They're... not terrible. ] I've no issue letting them come close to me, so long as they plan to behave.
Yes. He's both my assistant and a Pokemon. He's well trained and won't harass you if you don't harass him.
[The Leavanny flies around Anaxa for a while, taking measurements and making marks in a nearby notebook. To him, the writing may not mean anything, but Aglaea knows what it means.]
Now, based on your clothing, I'm assuming you're from... out of town?
I taught at a university. There was not much else in the immediate vicinity.
[ Seeing as it was easily a three day walk to Okhema from the Grove... he isn't sure what that would equate to, with the methods of transportation available in this world. ]
Style? I... ah. I'm not certain. The fashions in this place are... erratic, to say the least. I would prefer simply to avoid standing out overly much.

Do you mind if my assistant takes your measurements?

Date: 2026-01-26 02:49 am (UTC)Really? Are you from a small town then?
Also, what style are you looking for?
