[Today, White and Silver are doing something very important.

The dreary mutedness of the city is at an all-time contrast with the slight shimmering glow White's giving off, the flowers her steps leave behind, and honestly everything looks so much cooler with the candles people are using to light their stores with the electricity out.]

I've told pretty much everyone I know to buy him books, so I want to get him something different -- and I don't think he's appreciate the gift I had in mind a few months ago. Maybe a pocket watch?

[feistytrader]

It sounds nice. I was thinking of getting him clothes, myself.

[Said the guy that wears the same fucking thing whenever he's not working.]

[barredheart]

[The look says all.]

We need to get you new clothes.

[feistytrader]

I like my clothes.

[They're falling apart but who's counting, right, so are his gloves and he's not getting rid of those-]

[barredheart]

So do I! But they're falling apart at the seams, Silver, let's get you some new ones.

[HONESTLY, SHE DOES NOT GET WEARING GLOVES IN WARMING WEATHER

BUT HER BROTHER WEARS HIS HOODIE 365 DAYS A YEAR SO]

[feistytrader]

We're shopping for Black, not for me.

[Come on, White-]

Besides, they won't have anything like this.

[barredheart]

[... White's gonna work on sewing.]

Are you afraid of change, or do you just not like the fashion here? Because I don't think it's so bad.

[she's ~fashionable~]

[feistytrader]

...I don't like change, I guess.

[He fiddles with his gloves as he thinks about it.]

I'll wear different stuff sometimes, but I like this.

[barredheart]

... I don't like change all that much either. I just want things to stay as they are.

[This pocket watch is nice. Black might like it, and it's something nice to keep her own hands busy.]

But putting that aside, if I made you something, would you wear it?

[feistytrader]

It's not change in general, it's...

[...It's time to change the topic, apparently.]

Yeah, I would.

[barredheart]

Just wondering. I don't have any skills like that, but it'd be nice to keep my hands busy somehow, so maybe I'll have something for you by the time your birthday rolls around again.

[A nice sweater that looks exactly like his jacket, maybe.]

[feistytrader]

...If you made me something, it would be really important. I'd want to wear it all the time.

[He can't, of course, because he has a job and a uniform, but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't want to.]

[barredheart]

[Well, now she definitely has to work hard to learn how to make clothes. Look forward to dates in the future wear her fingers are covered in bandages.]

Even if it didn't look very nice?

[feistytrader]

Even if it was the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

[It would be something special for him from White, and it's not as if he gives a flying fuck about what anyone thinks of what he wears in the first place.]

[barredheart]

[HMMMMM.]

Okay then. I'll hold you to that, Silver, no matter what it is you'll wear it.

[Pocket watch gotten, this is definitely her own gift for Black. Though she knew it'd be easy for her to pick out something. Time for Silver.]

Even if I manage to make it change colors with your moods. There's fabric for that, I think... or I can see if I can order some to be made for me.

[feistytrader]

...Don't be mean.

[That is totally mean. His emotions are visible enough without him being a multicolored mess all the time.

But as for a gift for Black... Huh. What colors would he look good in? Greens and blues?...]

[barredheart]

[... He looks nice in reds, too. Anything but black. That boy wears it too much as is and he's gonna die in summer if that's an option. Also, they totally need to give him pants that let his legs breathe.]

You did pretty much give me free rein on it. But I'll try not to be too mean since I like you.

[feistytrader]

[...White shirt, light blue jacket, bright red pants. What do you think, White?]

Thank you.

[barredheart]

[This looks like a patriotic mistake.

White loves it.]

You're welcome. Also, you're so lucky Black's nice enough to feel obligated to wear this at least once in his life.

[feistytrader]

His clothes are boring. He should at least have something fun to wear.

[barredheart]

I tell him the same thing and he says he's just comfortable in what he's got! Here I am, keeping up in the latest trends of Verens, and he looks like something that crawled out from under the bridge. Or a college dorm room.

[... It's the same thing in the end, honestly.]

[feistytrader]

...At least you shine in comparison.

[Or something like that.]

[barredheart]

... Buy me some drab clothes, I'm going to let him have a day to shine sometime so everyone can realize how handsome and charming my brother is.

[Because he is he also just needs to... get out there some. Like she does.]

[feistytrader]

Will do.

[Operation: make Black shine is in effect! ...White's still getting cute clothes, though, just not as eye catching ones.]

[barredheart]

[You are a blessing among men. No woman should be without cute clothes.]

I guess I'll put off cutting my hair for now, too. That'd be too noticeable if I'm trying to let Black have a chance in the spotlight.
