back post ~ beltane prep thread ~ one week before the fete
As I had already deemed all my other suits unworthy of such a galant affair as Beltane I made my way through the shops in the Artisan's District and found one to my likeing.
The Grand Magasin de Soie a simply splendid establishment, all color and activity, with a wide variety of things to choose from. And by the looks of it things were quite busy, everyone who was wanting to go the the event was certainly going to be here if they wanted to be seen.
So I made my approach and soon found myself mixed up in quite the predicament, there were so many things to choose from that it could possibly take all day to find what I was looking for, especially since there wasn't anyone to assist me.
No matter, I was set on finding the right suit for the event and so with a sigh I set to searching the aisles of the shop for something worthwhile.

Having tosted all of my dresses out of my closet to be left in a pile on my bed, I find I have nothing that is perfect to wear to Beltane. "Shopping again, oh joy." I say with a sigh and a laugh.
Walking down the streets of the Artisan's District I find it to be full of people and the smell's of the resturant's, walking stright for The Grand Magasin de Soie to find just what I need at such a time of nothing suitable to wear.
Colors from left to right and people all over, such wonder should be bottled up and sold. Looking around for a staff member to help me, I notice all of them have at least ten people at the moment. Left to my own instints I start with long, flowing dresses first.

I had busied myself for the last half an hour looking through the accessories in hopes of waiting my turn with one of the shoppe assistants; to no end. It was pretty much hopeless, so I went to look for something on my own.
Wandering down the ladies apparal towards the men's wear I happened to spy a young lady. My first though was that I had found a wary assistant neglecting her duties, and since she didn't seem to be helping anyone I approached her.

Getting to the right isle in the store was hard work along, but I maneged to find the row of dresses I was looking for. Turing into the isle i found what looked like the left overs of winters winds and summers heat mixed together and forgotten.
Realizing that I Couldn't find anything with the way the dresses were left, I started to fix what I could by color when out of the corner of my eye I saw a genital men walking toward me looking as lost as I was in this vast sea of clothing.

I saw her look up from her work and spy me as I walked closer, "Could you help me, miss, I was wondering if you could suggest something for the Beltane Fete. I'm in desperate need of a new suit for the event and I was hoping you could lend me a hand." I asked, making my way around to her.

"It might be a little bold of you to think I am a member of the staff without asking first , for I am not and unless you can find one we can share neither one of us will be getting help in here today." I replied with as little insult as possible, for he did just call me one of the assistant's.
As rude as he was I couldn't help noticing how handsome he was ,with what lighting the store had. I could tell he was a little rough around the edges.

Aghast I blinked, bowing deeply, "I beg your pardon, my lady, I didn't mean to offend," I said quickly, flashing her a grin, "I was merely at a loss as to what to do with myself and thought maybe you could help me and then I could return the favor." I said, hoping she wouldn't be upset that I had referred to her as one of the assistants. "I do have quite good taste when it comes to lady's gowns." I offfered, taking into account her good looks and chastised myself for ever thinking her a lowly comoner.

Having to swallow my words is not a strong point of mine. "Helping to get help in return? Well well I might just have to take you up on that offer." I said with a return bow. "Not to worry I would have done the same if I had been in your position." Not wanting him to leave for offending him.
"What did you have in mind for your choice of cloth for the night in question, or were you just wanting to buy an outfit and not hassle with raw material?"

"I'm not opposed to working with raw material, but if it works I'll buy an outfit already made if I find one I like," I told her, glad she hadn't taken offense to my lack of manners, "That is if you approve of it, my lady, I would like to be sure it suits the occasion." I added, relaxing my shoulders and giving her another grin. "And please tell me who it is that I have found myself so enchanted with, I have to know your name." I said.

"As must I know your's good Sir." I replied with a small bow." My name is Amarante." I said with a smile." I am sure we can find something that will suit the occasion and both our taste's." With a hint of a smile on my lips, I start down the isle's going deeper into the store toward the men section.
Seeing him up close has it's rewards and I delight in such things. A charming man as well as good to look at. What a find.

"Jadrien, dear lady," I replied, memorizing her smile as I made a half bow, a thing of beauty sure to be easily remembered, "And at your service, too, I dare say." I added, my grin a little quirky. "What did you have in mind then?" I continued, curious as to what she would say.
