She added colored ribbons to the sketch she was working on at Kurumi's suggestion, but they just... she wasn't sure. Maybe she had to see them before she could decide what exactly would work for Kurumi. Ribbons on top of the fussy-but-pretty skirt and bow might be way too much going on at once.
"Don't be scared, mon chou. I promise you won't fall in anything I create." Her eyes drifted across the students gathered to work on the project, and she considered their classmates thoughtfully as she continued, "I bet your Lewis would love to see you in this outfit. He'll know that you put effort into it, and that you care about being seen in it, and we already know it fits and flatters you. So we'll just think about that when we're trying out shoes. The perfect audience."
Open toe shoes it was for Vivi then. Something simple...maybe with a few embellishments on them but nothing too loud. Vivi didn't seem the sort to walk around with diamond studded heels for example. Not to mention Kurumi felt somewhat embarrassed about transfiguring something THAT fancy. "
Okay...classy open toe heels for you..." she chirped. Now it was time to get back to research and become inspired.
"
Mon chou?" Kurumi repeated, glancing up from her magazine and cocking her head to the side. Vivi was speaking in funny words again. Oh, was it French? Vivi had done that in a lesson this term so maybe it was French. Or a made up Vivi language. She did seem the sort to make up something like that now that Kurumi got to thinking about it. But before Kurumi could think too much more on the matter her cheeks were flushed and she had to avert her eyes. "
My Lewis..." she repeated, blushing slightly again. "
I've never called him that before. Seems so...possessive...you know?"
But that probably wasn't the point to what Vivi was saying anyway.
"
I mean...um....he doesn't really mind how I dress...but he would be surprised to see me looking so fancy," she smiled, blush sliiiiiiiiiightly fading a little. And with the idea of Lewis maybe being in the audience for her modeling this outfit, well, maybe Kurumi really could wear ten inch heels. Hmmm. "
I really want you two to meet, you know," Kurumi said somewhat suddenly as she stopped on a page with lots of open toe shoes. "
Things are a little hectic this term for him, so maybe we can do something over the summer?" But then would Vivi feel uncomfortable since it would be her and Lewis, the couple, and then Vivi? She didn't want that.
