It appears that we have a few new arrivals. Welcome to those who I have not had the pleasure to meet with yet, and I look forward to becoming acquainted with you in the near future. My apologies to get straight to business, but I have yet another survey to conduct. As most of you are probably aware, the ball that Sir Caesar mentioned will be upon us soon, and Sir Caesar has been very generous in allocating funds to providing everybody with appropriate clothing.

If you could please give me the details of your desired outfit, I will pass them onto the tailor so that they will be ready for you by the day. It would be best if you were not too extravagant, but also specific lest you be disappointed when your vague descriptions turn out to be wildly different than what you had imagined.

If you are lacking ideas, the tailor has given me a few sketches of choice items of clothing that you may look at to help decide on an outfit. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to address them.

(( OOC: What are the ideas from the tailor, you ask?!

... SORRY NOT SORRY. I spent way too long searching for these... Feel free to submit any sketches or other pictures of your own for fun if you'd like! ))

With... well...

[ She's having a difficult time getting this out. ]

I mean, you know the rumours I am referring to, correct?

Clearly I don't. I mean, it's like I've said, why should I care about rumours anyway?

Do they not affect how people treat you?

Hm.
Is there a mob with torches and pitchforks out for me?

Well, no, of course not, but. What if they interfered with something important?

Wait, what's the point of this exercise, again? You were concerned about a rumour.

[ WHY IS HE SO UNCONCERNED SHE JUST WANTS TO SHAKE HIM!! She just blurts it out now! ]

I have been hearing that there are rumours going about talking about how close we are!

Huh? Close? [ Wonders about his conversation with Shigure now. ]

Close in what kind of way?

[ She seems impatient now. ]

With "romantic inclinations!"

Oh, that. So I was right about that guy after all, heh.

[ Also has a reputation for being honest... well, aside from that incident. No reason to lie now. ]

...That may have been my fault.

That guy...? Y-your fault?

[ No comprehension is occurring currently, just extreme redness. ]

[ Smiles meekly, really downplaying this little mess he caused. Or perhaps he's more focused on the fact that he was right about being investigated. It's the small victories! ]

Shigure tried to get information out of me under the guise of friendly conversation. No doubt someone paid him to investigate me, and I was just testing if he can keep a secret.

I guess now we know, huh?

[ She. Is. Completely. Bewildered. ]

You made up our closeness and romance just to find out if Shigure could keep a secret!?

And it turns out he can't! What a dirtbag, right? Ahh, it's my fault... divulging secrets falls under his job description.

Still, we all learned a lesson here.

[ She is fuuurious. She practically throws her book at his chest, forcing it at him. ]

You can take care of all of this yourself!

Wh--ouch--what..!! [ What's he gonna do with this organised book? ]

Agnes, I'm sorry! He was asking about you, too!

And that gives you the right to tell him that I fancy you now, does it!?

[ Her arms are crossed and up tight against her chest now, her stance incredibly defensive. ]

You're right, I shouldn't have involved you in my gambit. However, the fact that he even had to ask me such things means that certain people were thinking it anyway... and I never said a word before then.

At least have the decency to make up a girl if you must. I do not wish to be involved in your childish mind games! Have you no decency!?

But he was asking about you directly! Strategically it made sense to stick with the story he presented!

What do you want me to say, Agnes? I'm a disgrace! I'm scum of the earth! There!

Perhaps you should stop thinking so strategically and think like a person! Must you win at everything?

What if I had actually fancied you!?

[ Now he's feeling a bit defensive, he doesn't see what would be the problem with that. ]

Yes, imagine the travesty of being attracted to Caesar Silverberg, the guy who would oversleep his own wedding. All those poor women...

[ She has to refrain from rolling her eyes, becoming more and more impatient. ]

What a travesty and poor women indeed, considering he could so easily lie about your attraction simply to win at something so foolish. A girl who really fancied you would be crushed to hear that you would use her friendship so.

[ Yet she is incredibly defensive and seems a bit hurt, if not outraged, at this. ]

[ He takes a moment to consider her words, he didn't quite think of it that way. ]

Well, it's a good thing you're not that girl, then.

[ She looks incredibly frustrated. ]

You wouldn't know that girl even if she followed you around all day, Caesar.
