Who: Saïx and Forrest
What: New clothing
Where: Forrest's temple
When: April 18th
Warnings: None

New clothes were a must. Saïx had arrived dressed in head to toe leather it really wasn't his style. Which meant it had to have served some important purpose that he will likely never know. He could see no other reason he'd dress in it.

Leo had said that he would talk to his son Forrest about helping him with this endeavor. So he made his way to Forrest's temple, which was hard to miss what with it's ostentatious use of gold. He stepped up to the entrance and while the door was wide open, he was not going to just waltz in like he lived there. He was trying to make a good impression, especially after Sora had warned him a few nights back during dinner after the cleaning.

"Hello, Forrest?" Saïx called out as he stepped just inside the entrance.

[Forrest hasn't met Saïx in person yet, though he has heard about him from Sora. Still, he's made a policy of welcoming visitors to his temple, so he comes out with a smile on his face.]

Yes, hello?

[saikusu]

[Well, that was not what he was expecting. Leo had said son, and Forrest did sound like a man, but the way he was dressed... was really none of his concern. At least as long as he didn't try to dress him similarly. That would be even less his style than what he was currently wearing.]

Leo said you could help me with some new clothes. I don't know if he got the chance to speak with you yet, but I'm his new shinki, Saïx. It's nice to meet you.

[He holds out his hand for a shake.]

[Forrest's eyes widen briefly at the name, but he hides it quickly with a smile. Sora did say there probably wasn't much to worry about, after all.]

It's nice to meet you too, Saïx. I'd be happy to help you.

[saikusu]

[Forrest's reaction doesn't go unnoticed, but Saïx makes no indication that he had noticed. Whatever caused the eye widening was something that he's unable to do anything about short of changing his name. But he's not about to give up the only thing he knows about himself from his past to get around those reactions.]

Thank you. I'm afraid I need a lot of help. I don't know what I do like, only that I don't like the clothes I am currently wearing.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest just needs a little time to get comfortable with him, and he'll be fine. The warning from Sora just has him a little shaken.]

Well... I suppose we can start simple, in that case. Do you have a particular color you're fond of?

[saikusu]

[Well, he likes the color of his hair, so he'll start there. What other colors he likes, he doesn't really know.]

I like blue.

[clothes_make_the_man]

All right, that's a good starting point. What about form and function? Do you want something you can wear casually, something that's easy to move around in, something to help hide your identity...

[He's just listing off some things randomly, really.]

[saikusu]

Something casual. I have no need to conceal my identity.

[Well, maybe he does, but he's got a coat that may or may not aide him well enough when it comes to that.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

All right. Something basic, then. That shouldn't be too difficult.

[saikusu]

I appreciate it.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'll just need to get your measurements, then, and I can get started right away.

[saikusu]

[He nods.]

Measure away. [Saïx pauses before adding,]Is there anything else aside from the measurements that you might need from me? I want to make this task as easy for you as I can.

[clothes_make_the_man]

No, that should be plenty. It's a simple design, so I'll have it ready for you in a day or two.

[saikusu]

I'm looking forward to it.

[And he was. It would be nice to have something other than head to toe black to wear.]
