I-Inadequate...

[Details would be helpful now, but he's in such a mess that she probably wouldn't be getting it any time soon. Instead, she's assuming that he's in a very suspicious job, something that requires him to be well dressed so that he would be able to please his customers. Get it.]

I'm sure that you will never be inadequate, or a disappointment.

[Has he even looked in am mirror? No she is sure he knows he's handsome. AND GOD WHY DOES HE KEEP CALLING HER YOUNG MISS she gets weak. So much for strong badass, sometimes she's a pushover to people she approves of. Even with his...deviant job.

She takes his clothes, holding it firmly to her, takes a deep breath.] I will help you, if it is so important to you...

[A short pause as she looks at his clothes before turning her stern gaze onto him.]

Also, do you need me to protect you? [Wait what?]

[meniscus]

[ He appreciates her consoling and smiles a bit in response, and ends up smiling brighter when she agrees to help him. Mikazuki bows his head in gratitude and thanks Vietnam for her help but pauses mid-bow when she offers protection? Well he can't see how that's immediately strange or anything since he was protected when he was put on display back before he ever came to Cerealia. So he's kind of assuming she wants to do something like that for him? ]

Protect me...aha, well if you wish it then I can hardly deny it. [ In other words, he doesn't think he has a choice in it but he likewise appreciates her offer and would accept it regardless! He's standing up straight again after, dusting himself off and ready to hold his arms out so she can begin but he suddenly remembers -- ]

My apologies! I just realized..we never introduced each other did we? Please call me Mikazuki Munechika, young miss. I'll be in your care from now on.

[hoasen]

[Mikazuki, your assumptions are going to get them both into trouble. Which isn't good for her blood pressure, but is definitely magnificent for everyone around them to witness. She'll accept quickly that he is fine with her protecting him. Now the deviants won't get to him.]

Then I will do so. I will follow you today. [Good lord. This is only spiraling. At the same time, this may clear things out, but hopefully no one gets hurt in the process. Vietnam was ready to begin dressing him (he looks so used to this), but something important occurs.]

A-ah! No, I should've realised myself! It is nice to meet you, Mikazuki Munechika, my name is Vietnam. Please have patience with me, I am unused to dressing another-- [Man. She's so unused to dressing men in this kind of regal set. STOP RIGHT THERE, VIETNAM.] Please guide me.

[meniscus]

Haha..I appreciate your company and your help.

As for guiding you...well, I'm inexperienced with this myself but I will do my best. [ Though he's not sure how much help he will be, he at least kind of(?) knows how everything is supposed to look at the end so he can probably guess and help tuck and tie here and there! But for now, he will let her begin where she thinks is best.

He at least knows where and how to stand, with arms apart so the fabrics can be easily draped over him. Mikazuki is obviously very practiced at playing a dress up doll since he's been doing this for thousands of years and it helps that there has always been someone or another to dress him. He is happy that such seems to be the case even in Cerealia. Part of him was just slightly worried he wouldn't be able to do this anymore! ]

[hoasen]

No, thank you for allowing me to follow. [After all, he could've protested and made this all very difficult (or at least, he could've saved them from impending doom, but alas.)

She quickly waves her hand, after shuffling the fabric so that it settles nicely in her arms.]

You know how it looks on top of you, so you can at least correct me. Visually, it may come to you. [If he is dressed like this constantly, she hopes. It should come to him, and if she puts something out of place, he could feel uncomfortable. Those are all the cues she needs.

That being said, she wonders if he's going to be running late if she doesn't dress him quick enough. No point thinking about it now, it must be done either way.

She starts by putting layers on the top half of him. Vietnam noticed there were small ties on each fold, so she makes note that she must tie them in order. Firstly though, she needs to slip the sleeves through his arms (after a bit of tip toeing and circling him) and making sure all the fabrics are even and smooth before she fastens the ties. There was something else she noticed: these fabrics could be pretty heavy.]

You where all of this every single day?

[meniscus]

Ah yes, I've become quite accustomed to them and can't really see myself wearing anything else. [ Though he will admit that some of the modern clothes he has seen around are beautiful and to his tastes...perhaps he'll try and modernize himself at some point. For now however, he's perfectly content to wear his kimono and as luck would have it, his formal kimono suits his job's atmosphere very well. So he has more than his share of excuses to continue to dress like this but maybe someday he'll realistically consider something more practical. ]

So far you're doing well it looks like. [ Mikazuki is occasionally looking over the parts that Vietnam finishes dressing as she moves along and doesn't see anything wrong with them thus far. The most that Mikazuki is actually doing is smoothing out his sleeves since he has always adored the way the silk feels. ] I may just have to ask you to come and help me again in the future. Usually I ask Haru or sometimes Kogi but I could't find them today!

Aha, I'm glad you came along and saved me. [ Despite the fact that he kind of surprised her in the first place. ]

[hoasen]

Hmm, I see. It suits you and make you look so regal? I only have everything to gain. [Aside from not being able to dress himself, but as she tries to put secure and put these together, it would be difficult for one person to put this on themselves anyway. She really doesn't mind. Thinking about it though, if he can't see himself wearing anything else...] What do you think of modern clothing?

A-and ah...I am relieved. [She exhales lightly in relief, quick and short before she continues to dress him. She does pause from time to time, giving him a moment to touch the soft fabric of his clothes. She can tell their quality from just touch alone, since she worked with fabrics a lot, his clothes are of the highest calibre. The stitching is tiny and near impossible to see. It's magnificent.

Picking up his hakama, she now needs him to step in so that she can tie it up as well before adding on Even More Layers. So she holds it down low, she doesn't mind if he needs to take his time.] If you need me to come, then I will do so. I live just above you, after all. It won't take me long, should Haru and Kogitsunemaru be busy.

[She looks up and smiles.] I think I learned something today while helping you.
