Who: Adio, Riley and Umeko
Where: Tailors
When: Afternoon
What: Dress advice..and..it gets worse

“Come on it will be fun!” Riley promised, putting Adio’s arm in a death hook. She walked on one side of him while Umeko walked on the other. She just was along for the ride really. When she learned the two were going to the tailor, she aided in making sure Adio didn’t attempt in making a run for it. She could understand that going to a shop surrounded by clothing he wasn't interested in was a man’s worst nightmare. His face was miserable, his strides were dragging into the dirt and at times she had to punch his arm to get him to move faster. Now was the time for another punch in the arm from Riley.

“Ow! What the hell? I’m going as fast as my miserable body will allow itself to go.” Hell. He couldn’t possibly believe that a man’s opinion on clothes was so important that he was dragged out of bed. Literally. Riley and Umeko came into his house uninvited and grabbed him by his legs, then swiftly dragged him off his bed then dropped him on the floor. Without negotiating they gave him five minutes to dress then towed him towards the tailors.

“God, don’t be such a drama queen. You owe me for this. I walked you home the other night.” Umeko pointed out, feeling rather proud that she safely brought a man home. Riley snickered, about to light up a cigarette. “Are you friggin’ serious? This little dumpling brought you home, Adio?”

Adio turned towards the blonde who had been irritating him the entire time. “She bit me! I don’t owe her anything besides the cloth she gave me to control the bleeding.” He flicked away Riley’s cigarette. “And don’t smoke. I can’t stand it. In fact, I can’t stand the situation or the both of you right n-ow!” he turned towards Riley after she punched his arm again. “How old are we? Ten at the oldest?”

Riley put her free hand on her hip. “No. I am resorting to this to get you to shut your trap. You whine like a woman going through labor. Now come on! The shop is just ahead.”

When the two arrived, the door was opened ajar. Kazuki was around they were sure, but he gave them time alone. Riley and Umeko asked for them to lay some stuff around to try on and rather Adio liked it or not, he was going to stick around.

Umeko faced Adio with determined look. “I am not sure if I still want to go.” The young woman confessed, fumbling her fingers. She had a tendency to get nervous about things that meant a lot to her but maybe would make her anxious and perhaps nauseous. "But I have this dinner thing Wednesday. I need a dress or something and I need a mans opinion. I don’t have that many men as friends okay? Don’t be a jerk. Just be honest. Plus, maybe you could benefit from clothes, you dress so..I dunno..” She trailed off. Umeko waved a hand, going back to herself. “Girls are catty when it comes to fights and all that. But when it comes to dresses they may be too nice! Men do these facial things or like have these reactions that tell a girl EWW, or OHH! Maybe I look hot. I HATE dresses, but this means a lot.”

Riley turned towards Adio raising a brow proving that she would be matter of fact. “Basically tell her how she looks and don’t be a dick about not wanting to be here. This is something..I dunno 'squee worthy'. Okay?”

Adio was too much of a nice guy, so once he heard what the reason was for his suffering, he sat down near the dressing rooms and looked down, defeated. “Okay.” His eyes shot up, suddenly.

“But there is NOTHING wrong with the way I dress!”

Both girls laughed and Riley watched as Umeko went in the dressing room with the first dress.

Umeko first came out in a pink dress it had a nice low tone to it, nothing over the top and she made sure that since she was so short it wasn’t too long. It was very sheer and it had a string for the stomach to flatter the area. Umeko may have eaten a lot, but she was still very skinny. None the less, she was still self-conscious about the area anyway. She twirled around once then looked over to Adio. “Come on now! You have to tell me what you think.”

For the shoes she had equally low tone pink shoes and she slipped them on and sat down, wiggling her toes at him. “These are the shoes. I really love them. I can’t believe Kazuki can make shoes too.” She waved a dismissive hand. “Anyways, an opinion would do me a great favor.” She gave him puppy eyes as she sat back up and modeled the dress playfully.

This was horrible. Adio wasn’t even metro sexual in the least. I guess they sought out a horribly straight and clueless guy to try and make the final decision on what Umeko was going to wear for this formal event. He waited as she was changing and fumbled his fingers. He had to be..honest? In regards to what a woman was wearing? He was awful with that. You don’t tell a woman she looks terrible if she looks terrible! You evade the truth in that case. He looked over at Riley nervously, then towards the dressing room.

When Umeko came out she looked. “Pretty.” He confirmed, telling the truth. It was easy to tell if he was lying or not. “I like it.” His face probably turned slightly red. “But..” He swallowed, hating to give an opinion. “Though you do look wonderful try wearing something else.” He looked down towards the floor, not knowing why he even said anything. “You see, I think if you wear pink, it’s a stereotypical definition of yourself. You’re kind of bubbly right? If you want to stand out..fine. Get that dress and stand out psychically. But if you want to go to that event and stand out for some other reason..I’d..I’d try something else. Pink is just a color slapped onto a girl because it’s ‘cute’. Though it does look more than cute on you, weigh out some options and don’t invest on it.” He scratched his head. Hell, where did that come from? “I’d notice you and find you attractive, yes. But try something else.”

Riley gave an impressed hum, looking over at Umeko with slightly devilish eyes. “Alright girl, you heard the man! Next dress!” She turned her gaze then to Adio. “You’re not all to well with girls, but you offer good advice I see.” She teased, sitting next to Adio after she nearly shoved Umeko into the dressing room. “What’s your issue with girls anyway?” She whispered towards Adio to make sure Umeko didn’t hear. “That was some really sweet advice for example. Chicks don’t dig that?” She gave somewhat of a saddened expression for Adio. He kind of was one of those sweet guys you kind of just wanted to hug.

“I don’t get it. Were you once a jerk? Do you push yourself away from girls?” Riley bit her lip and bumped shoulders with him. “Hey, you don’t have to answer. But with me it’s like man to man.”

Adio didn’t know what do say. He could drive in the direction of saying he didn’t want to talk about it, but he decided to keep it short and simple. “I..I‘m just not a guy who is good with girls I guess. And I don’t need one.” He confirmed. “Yeah, sometimes I get upset about it. I’m twenty five and I’ve never dated, never had anyone really interested in me. I’ve never thought about marriage or anything. However, I think dating is overrated. When it all goes to shite it’s worse than trying to get the person to like you.”

He snorted a bit. “Love blows. We sugarcoat it and believe it’s a magical thing but when it blows up in our face we see it for what it really is.” Okay maybe he didn’t keep it so short. He didn’t realize he was so bitter about what he endured with women and with life. There was a lot he didn’t talk about. “Whatever. Maybe some people always have the sugarcoating. Maybe some people have yet to have the shite hit the fan. But love is just that one thing left in the world that hasn’t been plagued over by the virus...yet.”

Umeko was dressing in the dressing room and listened to Adio speak. Her movements in her dressing slowed as she heard him speak so harshly of love. Umeko was the YAY! Love kind of girl. She believed in romance and she believed that maybe…maybe a certain someone could like her. But it was true. Love was nothing special…No..No that wasn’t true! Love was a beautiful thing and maybe he was just upset that he was dragged all the way to the dressing room to watch her try on different dresses. But he said she looked pretty in the first dress and considering it came from a guy, she was hopeful for Wednesday. He didn’t have to think she was the most beautiful thing on the planet, she just..wanted to be appreciated for what beauty people never really appreciated.

The Therianthrope wasn’t one to think she was gorgeous or anything, but she sometimes felt inferior to all the other women in Elysium. She was shorter, a tomboy and she often wondered if she was appealing enough to others. So hearing about love right now wasn’t all that comforting when she was feeling self conscious about herself. She kind of could feel her eyes watering so she rubbed her eyes and opened the door with her next dress on.
It was a red dress Maybe a little sexier than usual for her. Her hair was up, so she put it down and slipped on a pair of red shoes to match. She was a little embarrassed so she bit her lip and fumbled her fingers. “Well..”

Adio was looking down since he was somewhat ashamed of his outburst. He couldn’t help it though. He was tired of not expressing how he felt. He always got asked questions laced with people feeling sorry for him. He was just fine. When he looked up he saw..”Wow.” She was beautiful, yes but the discomfort in her eyes and features made him reluctantly speak up. “You look like how you would want to look.” He grinned. “If you want me to say hot or whatever, that’s what I mean. But you look uncomfortable. I don’t know where you are going, why or for what purpose. But I’d wear something that makes you feel good. I understand if you want to feel like sex on legs. But if you feel uncomfortable the whole time, you’re going to fuck it up.” He stated in a matter of fact manner. “Wear something else. “ He finally got to his feat and looked at Umeko.

“If you are doing this to impress someone, forget it. You’ll make a fool out of yourself before you even slip on that dress. Go and have a good time and be glad you were invited. You’re pretty as it. Pick your favorite color or something and just go. Go for yourself. If you put too much thought into it you’re going to go in there and leave within ten minutes.” He sat back down. “This is me saying: take that the hell off and if you don’t have any other options, pick the pink one.”

Umeko stood there in utter shock from his words. It was wonderful to have a straight man just be so damn blunt. She must have looked like a deer in headlights. “But-But..My boobs look really good in this one..” She whimpered, touching them. But Adio had a point. This wasn’t the academy awards for one where style was being critiqued and two; it must have been obvious that she was trying to impress someone. But thirty points for her looking sexy. It was about time. “Than..Thank you.” She whispered and turned towards the dressing room.

“I have just one more. I think I am going to choose this one. I just need to make sure I don’t look ugly in it. It’s my favorite color and all.” The giant panda in disguise could never be uncomfortable in the color she cherished most. When she went into the dressing room to change again, her heart began to thump madly when thinking about the event.

Riley turned towards the newfound style critic. “Wow, aren’t we on a roll today?” She gave a wry smirk when she looked towards the dressing room. “She looked hot didn’t she? Never underestimate how people can look underneath the clothes they usually wear.” The puma shifter gave a wink towards Adio then drew her legs up on the area where they were sitting at. “You saw yourself in her in that moment, didn’t you? You know, minus the dress?” Riley looked over to Adio, softness in her eyes. “So much to you is interesting. I like that.” Her feet drew lines on the floor. “You wanted to appeal to someone, yes?”

Of course, she knew she was being personal again, but she couldn’t help it. She just woke up this grumpy British sounding guy and came to find he was an incredibly insightful man who seemed to be harboring a lot of emotions.

Adio shrugged his shoulders when Riley told him he was interesting. “I’m just a closed off person really when it comes to being a bit more on the brooding side. I guess since I was dragged out of bed I seemed to have turned towards the darker side.” He chuckled at his choice of wording.

Did he want to appeal to someone? “I used to want to appeal to everyone. I always cared about what people thought. I want to right the wrongs, I want to make sure no one is mad at me. That kind of thing. I just would hate it if yet another person feels that way.“ He sighed. “Life is difficult when you express your distaste towards people, but feel like shit for it.” He laughed. “AKA in a mans case having no balls.”

Umeko had admired a dress she had seen Sanurawear. So, she asked for Kazuki to duplicate it in her size. It was her favorite color-green. Just like the lollipops she enjoyed. No, it wasn’t for anyone. It just for the kicks that she was a giant lollipop! She laughed while putting up the straps then walked out, fumbling her fingers.

“How is This? She giggled, puling strands of her hair back. “Yeah, I know. It is similar to your sisters, so it may be weird. But I changed the color up a bit.” She slipped on theshoes and stood there sheepishly “Well?” She then turned to show the exposed back, flushing before she turned to face the two.

Adio looked at her for a moment, giving her a glance that proved she did indeed look beautiful. “Yeah. That’s the outfit.” He confirmed. He then chuckled. “Yes. It does look a lot like my sisters. But you look much better in it.” His tone at the end was a soft whisper and he glanced away from her. “Can I go now?” He asked with a pointed look at the girls. “I’m serious, she does look lovely. But I have things to do. You're lucky I even came along, you know.”

He rose to his feet and ever so gently gave a suggestion. “You should leave your hair down. It looks nice that way.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

Umeko turned a bright shade of red when Adio commented her. She didn’t know why. The hotness almost stung and she stood there dumbly for a moment while Adio was on his way out. Before he could leave she flung towards him to grab his arm. “WAIT!” She protested. “I heard what you said about love and all that junk while I was dressing.” She looked him in the eyes with a soft and wondering gaze. “But what about the butterflies in the stomach, what do they mean?”

She held on to the sleeve of his shirt, a sign that she wouldn’t let him go until he gave her an answer. Riley was right. There was something about him that was interesting, things he never shared and the answer to this question highly intrigued her.

Adio was taken aback by Umeko coming at him with such a question. He intended to evade it but then she wouldn’t let him leave. Should he give her some sort of wondrous answer? Or his belief? “The butterflies?” He began.

“The butterflies may feel wonderful to some, but sometimes they are a warning sign. The whole stomach playing a symphonic tune is actually your brain logging fear, rejection, carelessness, choice and the aftermath. You may see someone and feel that wonderful feeling but you should be careful. It’s fear all in the same. Remember, people get that feeling on roller coasters.” He drew away from her. “I have to go now.”

He almost gave an apologetic look before he went out of the Tailor’s and into the town.

Riley looked over to Umeko in her stunning attire then towards Adio. “Don’t tell me your going to start digging that guy AND this other guy you are going to visit.” She planted a hand on the doorway of the Tailors. “I’ve got to tell you, that guy has got one hell of a secret or somethin’. He makes love sound like it poison. It is kind of sexy. Makes you want to show him just how awesome love can be.”

She winked over at Umeko. “Know what I mean?” Riley was just trying to lighten up the situation. She knew Umeko was tense about wherever she was going and she knew whatever just happened between the two was a little..diffrent.

Umeko watched Adio until he left and turned away from Riley, pushing her out of the way. “He’s a good guy. But I don’t get him. Come on. I just want to get all this crap together and hate myself for even going to this thingie.” She went into the dressing room and thought about what Adio said and though she tried to shut it out of her mind, it just kept replaying and replaying in her already busy mind.

She tossed the door open and went towards the door of the Tailors. “Come on. All this trying on stuff and all is making me hungry. Let’s get something to eat.” She waited for Riley, and then closed the door. All she could do was remember to be herself at the party and hope that Adio was okay.
