"Wow!!! You're so e-fish-ent!!!" Feferi enthused when Kanaya was finished. She pulled her dress back over her head and turned her back to invite Kanaya to help zip her up.

"I like most bright colors!! Especially purples and blues and greens!!! Oceany and fishy colors!!!!" she said happily. When her dress was zipped up she turned around and tried to see what Kanaya had written down.

"Oh, yes. I tend to go into work mode at times like this." Kanaya marked the color preferences down next to her notes on where the accents would best suit Feferi's shape and the kind of material each part should be. "The tight skirt is going to be anywhere from three hundred to five hundred dollars depending on how high-quality you want the material to be. If you want embroidery on the train that'll be extra... and the dress will probably be in the seven hundred dollar range. All in all this will take me at least a couple months. I have to stay on top of school and work as well."

"Whale worth it," Feferi said casually. "When do you need a decision about embroidery? I'm not shore if I'd want that or not... Do you fin it would detract from the overall effect?"

She leaned over to watch the notetaking, realizing belatedly how much taller Kanaya was. "And take as much time as you need to do it right!!! Hmm... How much do you usually want as an advance?" Feferi asked, retrieving her purse and digging around in it.

[drawntotheflame]

Kanaya was surprised at how flippant Feferi was about the money, but she was excited to make the most of the high-end fabric.

"It depends on what you want out of it." She put a finger on her cheek. "Trains are traditionally made to display how elaborate they are. But I'll make alternate designs and email you, and you'll have until I'm done with the tight skirt to decide, so take your time on that. And I need enough to buy the fabric -- so about two hundred for the first skirt."

"Hmm..." Feferi said, considering. "Yes... I think having visuals would make the decision easier!! I don't fin I'm quite picturing it correctly..."

She pursed her lips and nibbled on the tip of her tongue as she scrawled out a check for $500 and carefully tore the whale-patterned check out and handed it to Kanaya. The memo read: Advance for Skirt and Dress.

Her eyes were sparkling as she tucked her wallet away, beaming at Kanaya. "I'm so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!"

[drawntotheflame]

Jeez, Feferi said that often. Kanaya got the feeling hanging out with her for too long would quickly sap her social energy. She didn't mind this shortish amount of time, though.

Kanaya took the check and tucked it away safely in her own wallet. She'd have to head to the fabric store tomorrow.

"Would you like to stay for dinner? I'm sure my parents will insist on it."

[lunaquatic]

"Oh that's so SWEET!!!! But unfortunately I should get home and get back to homework-doing. This was a very pleasant break but I have a lot to get done tonight!!!" Feferi said regretfully. She fiddled with her purse for a moment, then brightened. "Do you mind if I get a picture of us? Commemorate the start of my new skirt!!!"

She pulled out her phone, fiddling with the settings before smiling brightly at Kanaya expectantly.

[drawntotheflame]

"Oh, yeah, sure." Kanaya moved next to Feferi, hunching down awkwardly so she was properly in the frame. She gave the camera a small smile and the flash went off, dazing her. "Alright," Kanaya said, rubbing her eyes. "Thank you for deciding to commission me, Feferi. I'll make the pieces as spectacular as I can." Not that she wouldn't if she weren't being paid such a sizable amount; she just wanted Feferi to know. "I'll walk you out."

She stood at the door and waved as Feferi backed out of her driveway.

[lunaquatic]

Feferi grinned and saved the picture. "Good!!! I'm reely looking forward to seeing what you produce!!! But also I hope you focus on schoolwork first!! No rush to finish mine, ok?? Grades are important!!!"

She had found that oftentimes the Correct and Proper thing to say was the exact opposite of what she wanted to say and she used this to great effect to appear more thoughtful than she really was.

Fef appreciated the polite walk out and waved merrily as she drove away, humming happily to herself and eagerly anticipating her new articles of clothing.
