[The journal seems to have fallen open without catching the attention of the two current residents of this room ...]

-- and with your shoulders, something like a halter top or thin straps will be best! [she's using her magic to take a few measurements with a long yellow measuring tape that seems to be moving by itself, excuse her, Six!] Say, do you have any preference on color? I think a nice blue might bring out your eyes ...

[Poor Noble Six. :')]

[Six is definitely more than a little out of her depth in this situation. She woke up sharing a room with a pony. A pony that wants to play dress up with her. She's actually kind of confused by the thought.] I've actually got no real experience with these kinds of things, miss.

No experience? But you must have a favorite color! Or a set of colors? Do you prefer warm or cool??

I typically spend all my time in armor, and I didn't exactly have choice in color with that...

I've been in the military for a long time.

Oh, you poor, poor thing! [tsk tsk ...] Well, don't you worry, I'm sure I've got just the thing. [the tape measure will roll closed, and then she'll lift two bolts of fabric that she wished up into the air so Six can see them]

Alright, how about this? Which do you like better? [ she's got a nice teal sparkle and a deeper blue sparkle. ... you cannot escape the sparkle]

[Eying that sparkling fabric carefully. Well, if she's going to be stuck with the pony, she might as well play nice. And the colors aren't terrible... Even if they sparkle.] I like the dark blue actually.

Wonderful! That is what I was thinking too!

[she'll hum a little, clearly pleased, before moving the fabric (with magic, of course) over to a table, where scissors start cutting out some pieces] I must admit I am still a little inexperienced when it comes to clothes for human bodies, but hopefully you will like it!

I'm sure I will.

[She's not exactly experienced with things that aren't armor or clothing suited to training, so very little to compare to...]

Are there many balls and formal events here, would you say?

Not that I'm aware of...

Oh, what a shame ... ! [she seems a little saddened by that :'(]

I'm sure you could arrange some...

... You're right! You're absolutely right! [she sort of stops concentrating for a moment to excitedly prance in place] Oh, it will be wonderful!

I'm sure it will.

[There's a muted, but familiar, to Six anyway, chuckling coming from the journal.

Almost as if someone is holding a hand over his mouth to try and keep quiet.]

Jorge, are you laughing at me??

No, ma'am. I'm just laughing at something Colonel Carter said.

[His voice has that carefully measured military innocence that soldiers adopt when COs ask what they're doing]

Uh huh.

[Not buying it, Jorge. At all.]

[He knows.]

So, uh, who'd you get partnered with?

...

I was partnered with a pony.

[A very slight snort of amusement there, barely audiable.]

Oh? Everything going alright?

I guess it could be worse. No armor, but at least she's quite friendly. [Ignoring the whole dressing her up in sparkly clothes thing]

You too? Mine won't stay on. Not even the gloves.

...

Mine is not even here.

I got locked in my room with Colonel Carter. It's sitting in a neat pile in the corner, and it won't stay on.

At least you know where it is.

You really think the castle would have taken it?

[All pony-talk aside, this was serious business.]

No idea. I just know it isn't here. Probably to try to keep us from using armor for a shield for this...

[A grunt there]

I'm sure it'll be fine. And that wouldn't surprise me. Explains why it won't even let me put a boot back on.

Makes sense...

Too much sense. At least it isn't as bad as I thought. I was expecting some sort of rampant love virus or something

Don't give the place ideas.

Got a point.

...Chose a colour yet?

...

Jorge, I swear, shut up or I'm going to have to hurt you when I see you again. [As threatening as the words are, there's an amused tone]

And it's blue.

[Oh, yeah? You should know that words like this don't discourage, Six.]

Oh, blue's a good choice. It'll bring out your eyes.

[More than amused. He's still fighting back the urge to snigger.]

Funny. Very funny.

Did you expect any less, Six? Be honest, now.

From you? Not really.

Good.
