met in the shops the other day. You know mother, it would have been unwise on a few fronts to interrupt her!" His tone is light, but clearly being forced that way. "It is good to see you, my friend, after so long apart!"

Tataru's shop has been recently reorganized, both front and back rooms, to make room for a new loom she's been working at all morning...mostly. When the twins arrive, she's pacing back and forth and muttering to herself about thread color for an embroidery project - she brightens immediately +
when she sees them. "Alphinaud, Alisaie! Oh, you're here just in time - quick, before we go off to lunch, help me decide what color this embroidery should be."
The coat she gestures to is dark blue, and nearly-finished, hanging on a nearby rack. "It's for Lelesu," she explains. +
Alisaie leans over the shop counter and examines the coat with a bright smile. "Oh, Tataru, it's lovely!" she chirps, then taps her chin thoughtfully, "Hm... I would think silver, but then again, gold might offset the cool tone nicely..." She glances back to Alphinaud, nudging him with her elbow. +
"What do you think, Alphie? You tend to have a better eye for aesthetics than I do." She opens her mouth, presumably to add a comment about finding his fashion taste too stuffy, but shuts it instead and clears her throat. She turns back to Tataru and smiles again. +
"I can't wait to see what else you've come up with! I just took Alphinaud shopping for a new wardrobe, but we couldn't seem to find anything suitable. You always know exactly what everyone should be wearing, though."
Alphinaud perks up a bit, tilting his head. "Silver befits our dear friend better, I think." He says, looking the coat up and down. "'Tis lovely work, Tataru, but that has come to be expected! Lelesu will absolutely love it, I only wish I could be there to see her face when she is presented +
with it!" He looks at Tataru with a small, genuine smile. "And I *quite* look foreward to seeing what you've in store for Alisaie and I. But first! Lunch."
