one ❅ video

[yseult]

[ For those who are familiar with the area, the video makes it obvious that Sansa is sitting on a bench in downtown Heropa, near several small clothing stores. She is wearing the dress that she arrived in, which appears more appropriate for a drafty medieval palace than the warm Florida afternoon. There is a long pause before Sansa speaks, as though she is carefully considering her words. ]

This world is... unusual. To say the least.

I don't mean to... bother anyone. But I was, ah... wondering if someone could help me find clothing here. It is very... different. I'm not entirely sure what a proper lady is expected to wear. People seem to have very different expectations, and none of it is quite what I am used to. Oh, but I'm sure this all sounds odd. Any help would be... greatly appreciated.

You know, some people might call wearing a chicken on their head haute couture. You'd be surprised what some designers get away with in the name of fashion.

I'd say the best thing to start with is a sundress or a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and go from there. Those stores you're outside of should carry them. You can go in and use the fitting rooms to see what suits you before you buy it.

Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, but have you ever gone shopping before?

[yseult]

Oh, that is actually quite helpful, thank you.

I have been on a few shopping trips, though not many. We never had stores like this, though... Full of clothing, I mean. My dresses were always made for me.

You can still get things made for you, but it'll take a while for them to be ready and it will cost more than if you buy them ready made. The clothes you can buy in a store come in general sizes and you just see which fits you best. The same goes for shoes. Underwear's a little different and more complicated, but there are shop assistants who are trained to help you choose the right size.

Are you going to be okay looking on your own? I was planning to pick up some things on my lunch break, but I could take it early and help you pick out some things if you wanted a hand.

I seem to have received a few offers, but I do not think I could turn down extra help... Only if it is not a bother, that is!

[chiefdefense]

It's no bother at all! Honestly, after the morning I've been having you'd be doing me a favor giving me a good reason to get away from my desk.

My name's Mia by the way.

[yseult]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Mia. I am Sansa.
