Thirty-Third Spool of Thread-[Written/Action]

[Considering that the weather's fairly decent today, Shiki's decided today is a good day to spend outside. For anybody who's known her long enough, they might recognize the crate that she's sitting on as the one she used to use before the porch around the shop was built. Today, she's facing the shop and just looking it over, sketching out some things on a piece of paper. Soon enough though, she starts writing a message to the community]

I think I know the obvious answer, but where would be the best place to get fresh flowers when I'm ready for them? And, you know, planters and dirt and stuff.

Also, the spring line's just about finished if anybody needs something for the new season.

Yeah, I don't think so. [Grabbing Harry's wrist now and dragging him back to the shop.] It goes against my moral code to let people wander around like that.

[Alight, he'll go with this for now, at least until it seems dangerous.] You have a moral code for how people dress?

Well yeah. Designers don't let their public dress in tacky clothes.

So it's perfectly alright for designers to drag people off the street as long as they look good afterwards?

Well yeah. It could be worse, you could be a charity case.

A charity case?

I could just be doing it because I feel bad for you.

And that's worse than dragging me back here because I'm visually offensive?

...not really, but it sounds better. [Busy practically shoving him into the shop now]

[Facepalm.] There's no difference.

Well look, you're already here so you might as well, right? Besides, it might make you look less...angry.

I don't look angry! [But yeah, he'll at least stay put.]

Have you looked in the mirror lately?

... Haven't gotten 'round to repairing it.

...I've heard the expression before, but I didn't think mirrors really broke if people looked that bad.

No, someone else broke it a couple weeks ago. Bit of an argument, actually.

Well that sounds painful. ...is that why you're mad?

[Yes.] Something like that. It's not important.

I'd think it's important if you're still mad about it weeks later.

It's complicated.

Try me. [She's shoving a stool over to him so he can have a seat while she moves around the shop to grab things for him to try on]

It's actually really sort of personal, if you don't mind. I don't want to talk about it.

If you say so...I just know a lot about complicated things. [Building up a pile of clothes...] Besides, some people would find it easier to tell a complete stranger who doesn't have any idea about the people or events involved because it's not biased. But that's really up to you.

[... Holy crap that's a lot of clothes.] I... [She has a point, though.] I dunno. I can't even talk to my friends about it. I've tried, but I don't think they understand and they're okay with not understanding. But how do I know you're not going to tell anyone else?

[Shiki has a whole new fall line, silly Harry.] And...who exactly would I tell? It's nobody's business but your own, but it's going to make your head explode if the look on your face says anything.
