((Lolit-ler is away planning new designs for his spring collection, he’ll be back in feb))
He rubbed the bridge of his nose, he needed to smoke before he got angry at the other "there's not really much to say about me my story is like any other onceler. What do you want to know?"
“Well even if your story is the same there must be something different. I mean, what can you do? You must have some sort of different talent, yes? Or something that sets you apart from the others?” he asked him, the maid coming back in and placing two trays of tea and cakes down in front of them before bowing and leaving. Lolit-ler smiled and took a mint cream cake, taking a small bite then dabbing his lips, reapplying his green lipstick.
“You never told me your name for one thing”
This is for my scrapbook~ I'm taking pictures of all the awesome people I know!
“haha well that’s adorable, I’m glad I can be included~”
"Yeah well if you got accused by it everytime you went to order something for your maids you would say something to" his playful smirk had gone and had been replaced with an irrtated scowl. He glanced over at the design, it looked like he was trying to calm himself down "yeah, it's nice I'll take that to"
Lolit-ler was going to push the whole thing a little more but he didn’t want to risk losing Greeds business so he quickly went down a different path.
“Well then, now that that’s all done, how about we have some tea and sweetcake?” he offered, smiling at the other and ringing a small bell on his desk, one of his workers coming in.
“Hello, yes, please bring us in two afternoon tea sets, please and thank-you~” he coo’ed, flipping his hand towards the woman who nodded and quickly went off to make the order.
“now then, why don’t you tell me about yourself sir hmm?”
"There are 40 maids in total and there all women" he rambled on about all there weights and heights and made sure the other was writing it down, he knew his maids awfully well "and before you judge me no I've never touched a single one. Like I said I like them happy so I have to know this stuff" he huffed. When he was asked the other question he thought about it and grinned "sure why the hell not, go ahead and make me a design"
Lolit-ler’s grip tightened on the pencil and he looked up from under his bangs when Greed said about touching his maids.
“Did I make any inclination that I thought you touched you staff? The fact you brought it up makes me think you’re just making a point. Silly boy” he sighed and continued to sketch, looking at Greed now and again, frowning a little and scribbling something out before making some edits.
“Here, what about this? A three part suit with a waist coat, under shirt, and over coat with trailing back. I can shorten it, but long coat tails are going to be all the rage next year, I have my inside sources” he explained, tapping the design with his pencil.
He looked over the new designs, he stood in thought for a few moments before smiling "this one, they would love this one" he said as he pointed to one of them "and ah yes you are right there, but like I said I like my maids happy so if theses go down well I'll be buying from you agian in the spring"
Oh. A repeat customer? The best kind.
“Sweetie, I’m the best there is. They’ll love the designs, I can tell. Now then, how many maids do you have, and what build are they? Are they all woman, or men?” he asked, needing to note down some basic information.
“you don’t want me to design you anything, do you? I could make you a nice suit to match, something…form fitting, stylish, but with flare. Eye-catching, but not gaudy” he mused, clearly all ready getting into the zone again as he started to scribble down suit designs for the other.
He just smirked, a sassy one oh he really liked the sassy ones "certianly dear" he chuckled as he pulled out a small silver box and snubbed out the cigar into it. He picked up the leaflet. He looked a little confused as he flicked through them "I should have brought Anna" he mutterd under his breath before looking back up at him and nodding "theses are all beautiful designs sir." he showed him one of the designs he liked "do you think you can do this in green?" he cooed
Lolit-ler pulled the leaflet back, looking over the design he’d chosen. Hm. Maybe he hadn’t given Greed enough fashion credit…that deign would look awfully good in green.
“Yes, that can be arranged. What shade? If you’re going to have the main body changed to green I’d recommend keeping either the red lace trim or changing it to black, depending on if you want them to be more Christmas orientated, or something that can carry its own into spring” as he spoke he reached to the side where a rabbit shaped pencil holder rested, pulling one of several notepads stacked up on the side of the desk out, and then proceeded to start scribbling down idea’s and edits to his original design, all the while going on about trims and sizing.
“These, here. What about this?” he asked, turning the notebook around after a few minutes, five slightly different designs drawn out on the page for Greed to look at.
“I used the design you chose as a base, but I can change the design to be worn throughout the year. I don’t know you budget, or how many dresses you want to commission after all, I’m guessing you’d like them to last more than a month though, yes?”
He wouldn’t allow someone to wear his winter designs outside of the regulated months. That was just… too horrible to even think of.
"I err..." he coughed, keep your cool Greed you can do this "I'm here to make an appoitment acutally" he purred as he lent aginst the desk and took the cigar out to let out a long puff of smoke "my maids see, I treat them well and want them to be happy as possible. They love your designs an awful lot and darling it would make there day if you could design something for them. I'll pay you whatever you want"
“Well that’s no surprise, my deigns are the best around that’s for sure, at least your maids have good taste unlike some people” it was clear the other was a little bitter about this whole ordeal, turning his nose up when Greed started to smoke, making a small noise of annoyance at the back of his throat.
“Kindly put that out. Not everyone wants their clothes smelling like cancer” he snapped, voice drawn thin as he glared up at him from under black bangs. The man may have dressed cutely but it was clear that when someone got off on his wrong foot? Well, it would take a lot to win his favour.
“Now then, what sort of deigns are you looking for anyway, customs? Or something from one of my collections? The new winter collection is coming out soon if you’d like to look” he pulled through some magazines on his desk, handing a leaflet to the other with the new winter collection section printed throughout.
