Does it...? I do like it. I just don't know much about fashion. It's... comfortable.

[agoodname]

"A good piece of clothing should not only look good, but be comfortable and serve its purpose." [when he says it, there's a certain certainty to his words.]

[enigmaster]

...You feel pretty strongly about this.

[agoodname]

"Of course I do." [Elijah looks amused] "I was a tailor. It was my job."

[enigmaster]

Oh. That explains it. ...I guess that's where Oswald gets it from.

[agoodname]

[Elijah chuckles at that] "I suppose it is. I'm surprised he hasn't taken you shopping yet. He does so enjoy that."

[enigmaster]

He did take me to get a new coat. Does that count? ...We went through a few.

[agoodname]

[Elijah just chuckles] "It's a start, certainly. Though I suppose I should warn you: he spent an entire day in the store before his first day of law school, deciding exactly what to spend his very limited budget on." [he smiles, fondly] "Who knows how fussy he'll be with an unlimited budget."

[enigmaster]

Ah... [That'll be... something.] He does seem to be a little picky. But, if he enjoys that sort of stuff... [LISTEN IF IT MAKES OSWALD HAPPY...]

[agoodname]

"He certainly does." [there's a little bit of amused dryness to that statement.] "I would recommend bringing a book. Though he'll probably have you on your feet, trying things on."

[enigmaster]

I can read while walking. It's fine.

[agoodname]

[at that, Elijah chuckles] "I don't doubt it. I imagine it'll be a useful skill in this context."

[enigmaster]

Mhm. Shopping isn't really my thing, but... If Oswald likes it, it's fine. [He pauses for a moment, moving the crystals he bought around a little. Just... idly, really.]

[agoodname]

[yep, Elijah smiles, then, soft and understanding] "If Oswald likes it?"

[enigmaster]

[Edward blinks a little, tilting his head, but... continuing to look at the crystals.] ...Sure. [.......DON'T READ INTO IT it's only because he's extremely gay]

[agoodname]

"I'm glad that's important to you."[gently, but there's a small hint of amusement]

[enigmaster]

Why wouldn't it be?

[agoodname]

"Because there's a difference between going along with something for a few hours because someone likes it, and being willing to go along with something for an entire day because someone likes it."

[enigmaster]

Sort of seems like the least I could do, really.

[agoodname]

"...if you didn't like it, I think Oswald would rather you said so, rather than suffer through something because you think you owe it to him." [His brow has creased a little, and he's looking at Edward with a bit of concern]

[enigmaster]

I don't dislike it or anything... I'm more... neutral, I guess? It's not really... like that. ...I don't know. If it makes him happy, that's enough.

[agoodname]

"Ah. Well, in that case, that makes sense." [he smiles a little, gently] "...it feels nice to make someone else happy, doesn't it?"

[enigmaster]

...Kind of... Yeah... And, I mean. He's doing a lot for me, you know, so... [It just seems fair... to try as well. Anyway, that's why he's working with these stupid crystals in the first place. Not that anyone needs to know about that right now.]

[agoodname]

"I don't know if he'd personally view it as a lot, but I, for one, agree with you. Though you're doing quite a lot for him as well."

[enigmaster]

Am I...? [???] It doesn't really seem like I'm doing much at all...
