[they shall keep being fabulous indeed! waner is happy to be in real clothes again, and is browsing through the other options at the clothing store when she comes across yves.]
Sir Yves! Hello again. Are you finding anything to your liking?
[she's got a fairly sizable number of silk dresses and robes folded over one arm.]
obligatory fit check instead of sexy angel costume! though at least now i can mention that yves was probably covered in bandages beneath his angel costume earlier so it wasn't even that scandalous. if nothing else, it just shows that the lace half mask he was wearing wasn't just part of the costume - it's an outfit staple. yay!
meanwhile he's got a couple of different hair ribbons in hand, as well as a cloak that he's looking at. his eyes are so bright ]
I have! It's all so nice—and so different! We don't get clothes like this in Arpéchéle.
That must be a long way from Daxing. The type of clothing you're wearing is unfamiliar to me, as well. But the variety in this story is very interesting!
[some people say they're dying to learn more about the world... yves took that literally]
It will give you an opportunity to learn about many different places, that's true. [she steps back, turning to some of the racks of men's clothing with a critical eye.] Now, let's see here...
[she is pulling out a lot of embroidered silk pieces that will come together in an outfit. though she does pause when he says her name.]
Oh - Su is my family name. You may call me by my given name if you would like, Sir Yves.
[as to the rest of his question...]
There are a great many people. My family moved to the capital a few years ago, and it is much more crowded and lively than it was where we were living before. Even then, there were many people in Suzhou as well.

[characters you play are always the most terrifying when they make friends quickly WHAT ATROCITIES IS HE GOING TO COMMIT]
Very well, Yves.
[goodbye, honorifics!]
Ah, my father is a government official. Originally he was overseeing matters in Suzhou, but he received a promotion and was brought to the capital for work, and of course his family went with him.
It was not as much of a change as my mother and I were told to expect...
[her expression falters for a second, and she turns her head to inspect some of the garments she's chosen for him so he can't see it. after a moment, she continues.]
But we did interact with more people. Father went to the palace for work often; we would meet with the wives and daughters of many of his colleagues and entertain them. I would also accompany my sister from time to time, before... [her voice trails off.] ...well, it is a long story, and I won't bore you with all the details.
I think we have enough of the clothes for your outfit. Let's see if the changing room is open for you to try them on.

[ but he smiles nonetheless ]
Should we do a swap? Dress each other up in the styles of our countries?
no subject
[that explains her not having heard of it before! she does not yet have any reason to wonder about the existence of other worlds.]
...ah, that would be fun! It would be a good way to learn about one another's countries as well.

but yves brightens up ]
Right? I've always wanted to see the rest of the world... so I guess being here is the next closest thing, in some ways.

What is [ carefully: ] Daxing like, Su? Are there a lot of people?
no subject

Oh! If that's the case, then please just drop the 'Sir' from me too. Just Yves is fine. We're friends, aren't we?
[ :) now they are ]
But I see... It's the capital... That's amazing. What brought your family to make the move?
no subject
Very well, Yves.

Oh, he sounds really important! Then - what did you get to do in the capital? Was it a big change?
