[...Pretty. Dammit, he's blushing a little.]

They're bastards full of bullshit.

[Crude, and yet concise.]

You... uh, you ain't wearing that right. It shouldn't fall off like that. Here. Lemme--

Like this!

[It's a very clumsy attempt to help, and he ends up just setting the fansuwoth down and turning in a circle to show how the yukata should look. His is worn both properly and with the comfort of long familiarity.]

[nomagisterpet]

One wouldn't think a simple robe that complicated.

[ Though he does try to tug it into place, as demonstrated. It better hides the markings on his skin, which he's keen to do. ]

[punk_emperor]

It ain't! Just takes a little practice, is all. But it's nothing like kimono you'd wear for a wedding and stuff.

If you tie it like this...

[And he has to undo his obi and demonstrate again, blushing furiously all the while. To be fair, he demonstrates in clear, easy steps.]

[nomagisterpet]

[ He's not entirely sure what the blush is for, but he does pay attention, at least. ]

I see. My armor was a far more complicated matter, you'd think I would manage somehow with these...

[ Having something trivial to focus on does wonders for calming him, at least. ]

[punk_emperor]

[His embarrassment eases once he's dressed again and the blush fades.]

Armor, huh? I guess that is different. Don't worry; it's new and new stuff ain't always easy, you know?

[nomagisterpet]

The clothes are the least of my concerns, at the moment.

[punk_emperor]

What work did you get stuck with?

[nomagisterpet]

'Entertainer'.

[punk_emperor]

[And right back to the atomic blush, but with a healthy dose of righteous anger.]

Those bastards. That just ain't right for anybody!

[nomagisterpet]

My thoughts were much the same.

They can try to cut their coin from my flesh if they like, but they won't have it easily.

[punk_emperor]

Y-yeah! You show 'em!

We can't let nobody mess with us!

[nomagisterpet]

I take it that was what they chose for you as well.

[punk_emperor]

[He goes brilliant red.]

I'm... uh, too young for that, they said. They have me working in the tailoring place. But I still ain't gonna just lie down and let 'em own me. That ain't right! Nobody should ever own somebody else!

[nomagisterpet]

They seem to disagree.

Perhaps there are simply not enough to stand against it.

[punk_emperor]

There sure are a lot of people here who don't like it. Maybe we just gotta... I dunno, work together or something.

[He pauses.] No idea how to get everybody workin' together, but there's gotta be someone smart enough for it.
