[Alex's image pops up onto the screen, looking bright eyed and rather bushy tailed, his hair pulled back into a rough pony-tail.]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen and everyone else in between. To those I've already met - 'hi' [He waves pleasantly.] and to those I haven't met yet .. I'm Alex. I'm from California, which is on Earth .. my version of Earth anyway .. and the year was 2011 when I was brought here.

Now that the whole spider thing is behind us I feel like I can do this without having anyone looking at me like I've lost my mind, I'm going to.

I've been working with Joe in the kitchens and by myself over in the clothier .. and well .. I'm bored, at least in the clothier. Not too much is coming in to be repaired and I really love sewing.

[He gives a slight shrug, but is still smiling. Does this ~~girl~~ guy ever NOT smile?]

So, I guess what I need from y'all is maybe stuff you're missing? Or stuff you'd like .. I know this place is pretty old fashioned, clothing wise, but I love to sew and if there is cloth I can work, I'm willing to make anything you might be in need of.

Same goes with me being in the kitchens .. I've grown up cooking, so if there's something you miss from home, just lemme know, or swing by .. You can pretty much always find me around here somewhere.

Sooo .. yeah! Just lemme know!

[Alnd you can feel free to chat with Alex here or bump into him at the kitchens or the clothier.]

Can you make undergarments?

[First and foremost, Alex notices the difference in the two responses. How can one miss that seal at the bottom of the page. He frowns a bit, but after wheat realizes why it was used the then figures out the how. Nieta had sealed the page in her journal, effectively making the conversation private between he and she. Innnnteresting! Alex is nothing if not anquick learner and after finding appropriate was, his own reply is properly sealed.

And reading what she's saying, it's really no surprise that she'd prefer the message sealed.]

I can. I would need you to come by so I can get your measurements, but it's more than doable.

[He offers her a supportive smile.]

For what it's worth, Nieta, I more than understand how clothes can make certain some hinge not only uncomfortable, but nearly impossible. Corsets can look awfully pretty, but they do tend to make everyday life just a bit harder. And God forbid you should actually need to breathe while wearing one.

[And ironically enough, he was currently wearing a light dress with a corset bodice. Yeah, he feels you!]

[She laughs.]

You speak from experience. I think that is a story that you should share. What did you try to do while you were wearing a corset?

[Her laugh is good to hear and a smile curls his lips at the memory.]

Well I where them often enough in fashion shows; particularly in France. They are rather the go to in design in France right now, to the delight of mostly no one. As they are popular in shows, they are also one of the starring attractions in photo shoots as well. I was put on a trampoline once, in full corset and gown, and asked to jump so they could get pictures with movement. The HELL if I know what one had to do with the other, but the director of the shoot says jump and you jump. I have never, IN MY LIFE, been as winded and unable to do anything about it.

Sure, they look pretty, but I'm hardly going to win any athletic challenges while tied into one.

[He shakes his head, clearly amused.]

Directors forget how constricting they are and still expect you to operate at one hundred and ten percent while tied in; even if it's doing something outlandishly physical.

[She tries to stifle her laughter. It doesn't work. At all.]

I don't think that I would survive very long in fashion. But maybe you should have persuaded your directors to join you?

[Alex snorts softly in bemusement, not at all bothered that she is taking enjoyment in his fashionable torment. His grins wry and he shakes his head, eyes alight with laughter.]

God, no!! I dread to think what they would look like bedecked in the same apparel! Honey, we can't all look this good! [He makes a gestures that includes both she and he, winking.]

[She gives another awkward little laugh.]

Maybe you're right.

Are you free now then, or should I wait?

[Smooth change of subject.]

[Alex is the queen of letting things dropped when they've been pushed a bit much. So he notes the subject change and swings in that direction most willingly.]

I'm perfectly free right now .. shall I meet you at the clothier or would you prefer elsewhere? I'm completely okay with whatever makes you the most comfortable.

At the clothier's I think would be good. I will meet you there!

[He gives a slight incline of his head, smile ever present.]

I'll be there shortly.

[And indeed, off he goes. He doesn't need to bring anything with him, all his supplies already in the clothier tower waiting for him. It only takes him the travel time from his room to the tower and then he's there!]

Anyone home?

[Nieta was not, in fact, there. But she close enough behind Alex to here the question.]

Here!

[She breezed into the room right after him and glanced at the decorated screens positioned around the rooms.]

Pretty, isn't it?

[Alex turns where he stands as she pipes up from behind him, a smile warming his features. He nods, looking around the room.]

It is .. it makes it easy to spend hours in here, honestly.

But you do not?

[She glances away from the screens, back to Alex, and toys with the runic bracelet about her wrist.]

If it is too much work, then I do not need... There are things you would rather do instead, yes?

[She would not want to spend all of her days cooped up inside, no matter how pretty the room is.]

[Alex glances at her in confusion. He watches as she shifts and plays with her bracelet almost nervously. His expression softens and he shakes his head, tucking an errant lock behind his ear.]

Lady ... Nieta ... there is nothing I would like more than to bring you a measure of comfort that has been, until now, unavailable to you. A task such as this is well worth any time I might spend elsewhere.

[His tone is nothing but sincere, a soft warmth in his features as he extends a hand to her.]

Come, lady fair .. let me aide you in this .. I've more than enough time running outdoors to warrant my time within these Keep wall;, particularly when in the service of a lady so lovely as yourself.

[Look at those yes, Nieta. This man is being nothing but genuine.]

[Nieta grins but keeps from laughing. Still, she is glad there is a worm nestled in her ear.]

If you are certain, then how can I say no?

[Genuine or not, it will not keep her from teasing him. But she takes the offered hand and lets him lead.]

But I am not "Lady" Nieta. Unless you are now called Sir Alex?
