[Mingle]

[randomly_modding]

[So you're in the studio and the camera crew has instructed your characters to break into your teams to discuss 1) the client's personal fashion comfort zone and preferences, and 2) how to give them the Stylecation makeover they obviously need, while 3) working in the episode theme of "animal".]

[Or that's what you're supposed to be talking about, to obey the host.]

[Please don't mind the cameras focused on you at all times, even following you to the snack table to grab coffee and danishes and donuts. But feel free to crash one of the other team mingles!]

Good day, my lady.

[ Yeah, Cassie. Lucina talks like that. The look she gives in kind isn't smiling, but it's far from unfriendly. ]

There is no need to give your apologies. One of us would have had to -- endure this.

[The way of speech indeed surprises her for about half a second but hey more power to you, Lucina. She nods a little to that statement.]0

You're right. I guess it was going to be someone one way or another.

Still, though, if there's anything I can do to make this less... weird, let me know.

[emends]

I appreciate your willingness to help. I --

[ Whatever Lucina was about to add is cut off by a microphone suddenly being shoved under her nose.

She blinks. ]

[sizing]

[Blinks too, then frownsss.]

What the -- hey. [Seriously giving the crew A Look. Rude much?] Is that really necessary?

[emends]

It is alright, [ she tells Cassie, managing a slight smile. ] I suppose it is my, ah, duty in this event.

[sizing]

Are you sure? [Sighs a little, but calms--she tends to jump on the defensive too easily anyway but Lucina's reassurance helps.] We'll probably all have to get used to it, I guess.

... I'm Cassie. [By the way. She suddenly remembers she didn't say yet.]

[emends]

Lucina, [ she provides in kind. ]

Are you one of the people who will be -- assisting me?

[ If she sounds slightly embarrassed at that last part, well. It's because she is. Part of her wants to dismiss this event as overly frivolous and needlessly sensationalised. Another part of her, deeply hidden and out of view, is excited for it. It seems so simple, normal, girlish. There have not been many times in her life that Lucina's felt like a girl. ]

[sizing]

Nice to meet you.

[And -- laughs, a little, awkwardly but nodding in response.] Yep, I'm a stylist... apparently.

[emends]

I am grateful for your help. I imagine I will be needing a lot of it.

[ Read: She has no idea what the fuck she's doing. ]

[sizing]

[Right there with her w e l p but haha]

I'll try not to let you down.

[emends]

Have you much experience in this sort of thing, my lady?

[ Lucina plucks up a napkin, dabbing at the powdered sugar-laden corners of her mouth. ]
