[ ONE SHOWs SHOULDERS AND TIDDIES? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES THIS?
Nier isn't into too extravagant silks, either. Naturally, he's drawn more muted colors with more layers cause he likes being clothed in comparison to Kainé. Even if the weather is warm now, he's looking at sleeve guards and the like.
Eventually, he looks over to Kainé, too! Funny how they're both like what speaks to you?? While Sakyou is out. ]
[(hei in a victorian voice) THE SHOULDERS ON THAT HO
It really is a mishmash world though wowee. Anyway all silk is expensive so they're probably about to own things more pricey than anything they've ever owned to date, even if they don't pick the most extravagant ones. What's it like being so rich? Wild. Hatamoto are nuts.
Sakyou - who is totally perfectly normal - eventually comes back accompanied with the shopkeep, though! A timid, older-looking gentleman who he's opted to go to specifically because he's been here with the other guards before, so the guy is used to people with Funky Hair Colors and Eccentric Outfits and also probably strange personalities. He seems to be at the tail-end of explaining some fuckin made-up story about why they're wearing such whackass garb, speaking of.]
--so I'd like to get them something a little more suiting for the city. The weather as well; it's supposed to get somewhat chilly later, isn't it? Ah— [Smiling at the two of them!] Has anything stood out to you two, yet? You can take as much time as you'd like, of course.
[The shopkeep offers a polite little nod, moving to draw some of the sleeve guards off the shelves, along with whatever fancyass silks Kainé had been looking at. Shopkeeper's intuition perhaps...]
[ She's in the middle of pointing out the patterns and colors she likes when he absolutely not normal Sakyou returns with the shopkeeper.
And she will point at them again for Sakyou, frowning slightly about whatever kind of story he managed to cook up to explain their worldhopping presence.
Kainé doesn't need that much more time. She doesn't know about Nier. ]
[ As expected! Kainé does have an eye for this kind of thing and she deserves all of it, he thinks... Also why he would probably ask for her opinion on gifts he'd buy for his sister. Anyway, he perks up when Sakyou returns. ]
I'm not really picky, so I'll let you choose.
[ Nier really is less fussy about this stuff, though he's more inclined to be fully clothed, all the way up to his neck, than not! However, he trusts Sakyou to have Taste and pick something out for him. Also, he thinks it would be nice to wear something Sakyou picked out... With thoughts of him in mind. Gay thoughts. ]
[Kainé deserves everything it's TRUE, but sadly since she's stuck with Nier and Sakyou, at the very least she can have some cute clothing.]
Ah - it is. I think something like that would suit you very well.
[It's cute... Kainé is cute... perfect match. He's very endeared and banking on the safety of the public eye to act as a shield so he doesn't get decked about it.
Can't believe gay thoughts are dictating Nier's wardrobe, though. FORTUNATELY FOR HIM Sakyou does have good taste and also tends to Cover Himself Fully (most of these lads do, except for the scantily clad shoulder here and there), so that's what he naturally leans toward.]
Mm, for you... Something like this, perhaps? What do you think?
[Indicating a coupledifferent stylings of outfits, with a particular preferential lean toward one type. Nier gets relatively muted colors, since the outfits he's seen the lad in haven't screamed Boisterous Color Pallets, but everything is still so fuckin fancy.]
[ Stop it. She loves both Nier and Sakyou very much, so they are part of the everything. Being in public never saves anyone from being punched, but being called pretty does. Sometimes, her embarrassment arrests her instead because being called pretty even tangentially by one of the two people you most want to call you pretty overwhelms you. Even if she doesn't think she's pretty, the fact that the people she loves and who lover her do... is enough to make her heart near combust. She has to turn her back to them, so she can hide her face in an absolutely futile manner. ]
That's enough goddamn compliments.
[ The hilarity that Nier asks Sakyou to pick something out with him in mind in one thread but doesn't understand it when Kainé asks the same of him in another thread is unreal. She peeks at Sakyou's choices and doesn't object to any of them.
It's funny how these two boys dress to cover almost every inch of their skin and Kainé is the opposite. ]
[ It's because he thinks Sakyou has a better opinion and taste than him, to be honest, and Nier might as well be Right considering the samurai packs two sets of clothes in his little bag. Seeing her act so shy has him wanting to chuckle, but he holds it back and gently nudges Sakyou.
Good job. ]
You should accept them, Kainé.
[ Anyway! Onto Sakyou's choice for him! Nier smiles because it does look nice, he thinks? He doesn't have much opinion on stuff for himself, either, but he likes that it's mostly covered and nods in approval. ]
[Sometimes you're just a trio of two lads who wear all the clothes and one lass who just wears her underwear. God bless.
Also stop look SOMETIMES YOU NEED THOSE EXTRA OUTFITS. Can't believe he's going to end up buying new things for these two to wear any time they're around, just because He Can and because he enjoys showering the people he cares for in gifts and nice things.
He also enjoys bullying them but he can sense that he narrowly avoided being PUNCHED, so he will behave... for now... Use Nier as a meatshield if he has to.....]
One should save proper compliments for when you've tried them on. However lovely a garment is, it's no good if it isn't comfortable.
[Did Japan in the 1600s have dressing rooms?? They do now, and he will promptly bundle various items away into their arms and gesture them in that direction.]
Please allow him to give you aid if necessary, as well-- [With a nod toward the shopkeep, who bows his head a little!] He has a very good eye for things.
[And also he can probably help them if they struggle to get anything on... THE AMOUNT OF TIES AND FOLDS AND SHIT IN THESE COMPLEXASS OUTFITS..... He can step in too but sometimes you gotta offer the professional option first and try not to flirt terribly with your funky timetraveling partners in public.]
[ Dressing rooms don't exist in NieR Replicant, but it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together from what Sakyou says and where he is ushering them. These two boys need to stop using each other as shields from her because she is equal opportunity puncher. Love does not save people from being punched or insulted. ]
Don't tell me what to do. I don't have to accept shit.
[ She accepts free material goods, but accepting compliments in the economy of great and deep self-loathing? You're out of your mind.
She glances at the shopkeeper. ]
He's not allowed near me.
[ She's firm about it even if she inevitably will need help. Does someone who wears so little know how to work intricate traditional clothing? Hell no.
But her comfort levels are already fraying at the edges and she doesn't want a stranger that close to her when she'll be that vulnerable.
In she goes to this 1600s Japanese dressing room that exists now. ]
[ Wow... Using Nier as a meatshield. To be honest, Nier would allow that because he wouldn't want Sakyou to get knocked the fuck out for complimenting Kainé. Of course, he tells the shopkeep in hopes that it doesn't color Kainé too poorly. ]
She's shy.
[ Nier says that, but he also doesn't like strangers touching him. He's just fortunately more domesticated. I actually rolled to see how well Nier will put on these new clothes and he got a 17, so he doesn't need that much more help! He comes out of the dressing room first and for the most part looks very put together except for some small details here.
He kind of keeps his arms hovering for Sakyou and the merchant to see? ]
I hope this doesn't look too strange on me.
[ Not that it matters much to him, but he doesn't want to draw too much attention on these Japanese streets. ]
looks back at the like 2 years its been broken and closes my eyes peaceably
[Nier please don't allow yourself to be used as a meatshield by a human who can tolerate more pain than demons.
The shopkeep, to his credit, is a very professional and courteous man! He does not seem bothered or offended by Kainé's abruptness, and simply nods as Nier tries to slide in with a save. Sakyou, in the meantime, is just standing there with that infuriating expression that most people would read as passive or neutral, but people who know him tend to be able to see the trace of gremlin energies in it.
ANYWAY!! Dealing with Nier first since he's domesticated and has good RNG rolls... Sakyou looks very impressed?! Honestly he probably did better than Sakyou did the first time his stupid ass had to put on fancy garb, god... He'll step forward to helpfully adjust some of the smaller bits that need a little extra help, while the shopkeep - who also looks hilariously impressed - gently moves out of the way.]
It suits you wonderfully. Don't you think he wears it very naturally, sir? Doesn't it accentuate him well?
[To which the shopkeep nods and makes some remark about the fit and material and best way to keep it clean on the dusty roads. Sakyou tunes out a bit there, gently smoothing his hands over Nier's shoulders when he's done with his adjustments and smiling sweetly... before abandoning him to this kindly old man's rambles and moving over to Kainé's 1600s dressing room instead.]
[ It's hard to be domesticated when most towns don't let you come in?
Not that Kainé cares about being domesticated at this point. She has enough, and that's all that matters.
Anyway, while Sakyou and Nier are being gay and before Sakyou becomes a compulsive heterosexual, Kainé struggles. I don't need to roll. She simply is not going to do well because these clothes are so pretty and beautiful and so many things she isn't used to.
There is a stretch of silence, a rustling of cloth. ]
[ Wow. Sakyou is off being heterosexual, so Nier is just here conversing with the shopkeeper! Just in general about his wares, the history behind them... His family, some very plain and common stuff.
[don't just let him be compulsory het like this YALL. Anyway he's not rude enough to just barge in when someone says "don't come in", but, after a beat:]
May I? I'll be able to help quite quickly, I give you my word.
[Fortunately that's one of many benefits of growing up in a noble household... You learn how to deal with 5000 intricate ties real fast.
He also glances over toward Nier like HELP even though Nier is also new to this type of clothing. It's fine, he has good rolls.]
[ Is it even being compulsory het when it's fixing clothes? Nothing about this is going to be romantic, probably.
There is a long silence. There may or may not be a mounting threatening aura like Kainé wants to exact some sort of violence or property damage, but then there is a rough but quiet: ]
Fine.
[ She may be tsun, but she's not in denial.
At the very least, she's not close to naked but she knows where none of the ties go. ]
