"I also find myself in need of a new kimono. If you'd like to shop in a store of that kind. For another event. Or if you need more pieces for your costume, we can do that first!"

"Are you picturing the chocolate fountain?"

"I'm feeling much more confident about attending now that my outfit is coming together."

"Ready! Lead on."

"I ... I am just not sure this is for the light of day. She has mentioned another partner. Who encourages ...or at least did not mind. I think. I am rather taking her word for that. Ah, that's more than I should have said. Probably. But wish me well. I think it shall be sweet even if ephemeral."

She looked over the kimonos.

"This one here would be a flattering color on you. Though this one would better match to those green eyes from the other stuff. But probably ... the occasion would be very different."

"You a fair complexion and white hair. Just like me. Like any Crane."

"Won't it be appropiating of the colors of your clan?" Ichitaiyo asked with genuine curiosity.

Ichitaiyo hummed for some moments.
