Warnings/Rating: None so far!



During business hours, Cinna likes to keep the shop open, bright. Having the windows open doesn't bother him, although the walk to work everymorning is still a challenge. But once he's inside, he doesn't have a problem pulling open the curtains and letting the room fill with natural light. It looks best on the fabric, after all.

He keeps his workspace tidy. It's hard to make a room look inviting, when it's filled with work tables and dress forms and bolts of fabric, but he does his best. It will never look like a place for anything other than work, for dressmaking, but at least it's neat and airy. Pleasant. He likes it.

Comments

[langsyne]

That's a true enough statement anyway—both of them. He doesn't reply to either of them though. Cassie would want him to take care of himself, and he hadn't done that at all after she'd died.

Maybe Cinna's got a point he should try following.

Sighing, he gives the man a tired smile. "I'll try. Anyway, I should probably pay you for her stuff. How much do I owe you and are my arms going to hurt from carrying things back home?"

[afirewithfashion]

"Probably." Cinna grins as he loads the outfits into a bag. Now that his point has been made, and he's got Scott thinking about it, he won't belabor the point.

He names a price -- slightly lower than what he quoted Scott before. What? He used less fabric, obviously.

Scott notices the price difference but doesn't comment. He's a single working dad with two - three, if you counted the baby turtle - mouths to feed and he's not going to look a gift horse in the form of cheaper clothes in the mouth.

So he grabs his wallet, pulls out the quoted sum. Cinna will find a tidy pile in his hands a few seconds later.

"Thanks for this." Really. He's grateful. "If you ever need any techy done, let me know and I'd be happy to whip something up for you."

"It's really nothing."

His job, after all. He tucks the money away, not counting it. That would be rude, and he trusts Scott won't try to cheat him.

"I don't imagine I'll need anything, but I will let you know."

[langsyne]

"Sounds good."

Seems like business is all taken care of now. Scott heads over to where Cassie's stuff is sitting, gathers it all up. It's not as heavy as he thought it'd be, which is good; the girl needs new clothes, but not that many.

"I guess I'll see you around then."

[afirewithfashion]

Well, Cinna used a lot of light weight fabrics. After all, she's just a girl... she shouldn't be drowning in hoop skirts and pettycoats. There's plenty of clothing there, Scott. Plenty.

Cinna's not compensating for anything with this particular assignment.

"See you soon," he corrects, still smiling. Because he will be there to drop off your suit.
