"Ciaossu! If you got to this, means I'm out at practice or I'm at the batting cage. Ask whatever you want, I'll be sure to get back in the meantime! See ya!"
[Right...! He's already heading out, making sure his parents don't see him and question the fact that there's a 19th century girl with him in his room, it's complicated business. But once he does manage to get the two out of the house, he's leading them right down to the shopping district, complete with a crowd, and people staring at the two because of Lydia.
He coughs a little bit, waving his hand at people he does know, ushering Lydia to stay close to him.] If people ask who you are, just say you're my cousin from out of the country, all right? But here. [He stops in front of a girly looking store, pointing out the clothing in front of the windows.]
This is where girls in my time usually go for clothes. Natsume-san comes here, you know.
[ She's welllll aware she's being stared at and seems to be getting a little self-conscious, tucking her hair behind her ears and keeping her eyes down as she follows him. She's keeping surprisingly close too, mostly because dear god even if people stare at her at home it's not like it's everyone, most people just ignore her.
Of course, once she sees the clothes she seems to be looking a bit surprised. Some of the display cases have some clothes that seem skimpy, but some seem very nice. They look much simpler and more comfortable, but she'll have to consider them for a while. Of course... The does have at least one question. ]
...huh? Ah, yeah, they're pre-sewn, or something...I mean, if you want to see a seamstress or something, there are shops where you can have things hand made, but otherwise...
[It's sort of hard to find those in this modern day and age, and Sasayan hasn't really seen one around nowadays, so he hasn't paid that much attention to it. Still, he's already tugging on Lydia's dress a bit, pointing to a store that doesn't really have much for skimpiness, but in terms of actually appealing to someone's fashion senses...]
You'd be surprised; here we have a lot more resources, plus if the consumers are willing to buy, they'll buy it right then and there. You can look at the sales and be in awe over how much they make over this line of clothing.
[He's just babbling on now, only following Lydia inside for his eyes to drift off a bit.]
She nods. She's been definitely feeling self-conscious since she got here, but everything about it was slightly weird beside that as well. Lydia smiled though, and moved toward a particular shirt that caught her eye. ]
This blouse seems almost like it should be a dress's top..
Oh, yeah, they make some shirts like those. I dunno, I don't really pay attention to women's clothing a lot, I just wear whatever is in my closet half the time.
[He just flashes a smile, moving over next to her to examine the shirt as well.]
Why don't you try it on first? I mean, first we'd have to find the right size for you, then you can go in the changing rooms to...actually, you'd probably need a pair of pants, or a skirt, of shorts...well, anything to go along with that.
Haha, you should see our clothing now. It's not all suits anymore- we just got simple t-shirts.
[To exemplify, he's tugging on his own, pointing out the cool design on it and everything.]
You can try it on, though. A lot of people do to see how they would look in it, and to see if it's actually the right size. Uh...I guess you could give them your measurements, and they'll give you something similar to it.
Aha, I didn't think Edgar would have to dress so snazzy for a job, but he still looks good regardless. Kinda jealous I can't wear more things like that nowadays...
[But like he'd ever admit that to the dude's face okay.]
Yeah, dressing rooms are private. It'd be really weird if they weren't.
[He's giving her a comforting smile. C'mon, Lydia, don't be so awkward around him...!]
He is a nobleman, after all, I don't think I've ever seen him dress down...
[ It's less about being with Sasayan that's awkward and more about.. well, being here and having to go change clothes while on a trip with Sasayan, okay? ]
Oh, the changing room is back there. Just ask one of the ladies to let you wear what it is you picked out, and if you really like it, you can wear it out.
[At least it'll make her feel a little less awkward about being in the dress.]

It has literally never happened. ]

Try-- I don't own it, I shouldn't be trying something like that on. I know my measurements, I can't just look for one that fits those?
