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?

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. ]

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.
