He was just about to reply to Sephiroth when he noticed the look on Kaylin's face. And was that little dragon-creature laughing? Regardless, his expression shifted to a wry smile. "Well now, that look certainly takes me back," he said dryly. And maybe just a bit bitterly. "I haven't seen a look that contemptuous since my father shredded my design notebooks right in front of me. The ones he could find, anyway."
"I understand that not everyone appreciates fashion as an art form. And while it's true that much of what I do from day to day back home puts aesthetics on the forefront in one way or another, that doesn't mean I'm all style and no substance. If all one cares about is looks, they might have a few successes, but they won't last very long in the fashion business. First and foremost, it's about producing a high-quality product that suits the needs and tastes of the person or people who'll be wearing it."
Turning his gaze to Sephiroth, his smile became a bit less wry. "If you'd be willing to come in for some measurements, I'll be glad to make you some things suited to your wings." The slight edge returned when he turned his gaze back to Kaylin, however. "And I'd be perfectly willing to make you something as well. Perhaps a tunic with padded shoulders to keep your little friend's claw's from digging into your skin? It can't be very comfortable. Or perhaps I could alter something you already have? You'd be astonished how much a well-tailored garment can improve your freedom of movement, after all."
