She pointed towards the back, "There's a changing room in the back."
She shook her head though as she lead Ovelia back there, "Maybe, but that wouldn't be very me."
She scratched her head with one hand trying to think of how to put it, "He might resent the forced thing, but that's fine. As long as I make him happy after the fact it'll all work out, and if I can't I was wrong, then if I'll have to accept those consequences. I just knew after talking to him, if I didn't take him there, I'd lose him. I'm not the kind of person to give you up you know?Even if it makes things worse between us, I want to try everything to make it work. No regrets, one of the tenants of being a pirate."
She lead her to a booth with a curtin and opened it for her, "now head in, and change."
She then answered, "Plus, yeah it's pretty weird to dress up for a dinner between friends, but trying to change the status quo of any relationship is weird. It always is, but if you can make it work then the weirdness will be worth it."

"Good point." Ovelia says at the remark that it would be worth it if it worked. As she went into the booth she closed the curtain and unstrapped her leather armor before setting it on the bench. "Well, I obviously don't do the pirate thing...no offense." Ovelia commented while undressing, "I don't think you would lose him that easily. Besides, why do you think he is in love with someone else?" She then removed her shirt and set it next to the armor, before slipping out of her pants. It felt really weird to be inside a store and almost completely naked with just a curtain between her and another woman. She got quiet while mostly naked. It felt weird talking to someone undressed so she was quiet while trying to get the first dress on. It was a weird material, much softer and smoother than she was used to. She stepped through the top and tried to pull it up before realizing this dress went over her head when it hit her hips. She stepped back out and tried putting it on over her head, digging around trying to get past the folds to find the bottom and get it right in the middle. Once she was in there, she stumbled as she almost tripped over the long train and with her arms not yet in the armholes they were trapped in the dress causing a banging as she bumped into the wall. "Ouff...why do people wear stuff like this..." She muttered as she pushed her arm through the sleeves of the outfit. After fumbling around with laces and ribbons, she finally stepped out the decorative lace on the stomach tied weird so that the dress hung loose rather than conformed to her body's curves. "Uhh...how is this?" She asked as she stood there in a velvety pink and red dress with a hood and lace in the middle. She went to spin to turn to show all angles and nearly tripped on the long train that draped along the ground. The pink on the outfit had a light flower decoration that was barely noticeable, but added to the design.

She looked it up and down, "Womens intuition"
"No, Next. Anything that difficult for you to move in is no good, you don't wanna trip in front of him. " she said.
"Plus, he basically said it." she said. "Now try the next one."
"Where are the two of you having food by the way?" she asked.

"I don't know the city, but he gave me directions. He said they had a really good Shepard Pie." Ovelia said before describing the place from what Jonathan had told her as she went back in and once again got undressed in a rather clumsy manner. Again, she paused at the moments where mostly naked, only resuming when a dress was on and she felt more covered. This time she grabbed a black one with a belt and gloves. She slipped the black dress over her head, slightly more gracefully this time. She then picked up the long belt and tied it around her waist causing he dress to cling closer to her. Finally, she picked up the gloves and looked at them confused. What kind of gloves had that much to tie? She put them on and tried to lace up the full elbow-length things. "Well, here is hoping you can convince him you are the one for you and not just a little sister. So...how is this forcing thing working? Like...nothing illegal right?" Ovelia asked while lacing them. Finally, she stepped out in the mostly black dress. She had missed the lacing near the ribs so they hung loose showing a slight bit of skin. Meanwhile the left over lacing from the gloves hung loose and dangled. "This any good?" She asked. " Its girly right? Is the black too much? Are the ribbons supposed to hang this long?"

She nodded, "Hmm... I wonder if it's the Bistro Mareep."
She shook her head, "A bit heavy handed, but we're not doing anything that I wouldn't do in front of you."
"That's better, but you're wearing it a bit wrong. Though I don't think it's very you." she said looking at it.

"Well that's good then." Ovelia said, "It'd be awkward otherwise...I mean having a conversation about anything illegal with a knight I would have to do something and it would ruin the talk." Ovelia noted as she headed back in again. Were ANY of these going to be very 'her'? She wondered. "Well, heavy handed is fine." She said, "Umm...is the Bistro Mareep any good?" She asked as she removed the black outfit. She was down to two more in the first pile. The last one looked pretty plain so she set it off to the side for now. She then grabbed the fanciest one there. Surely THIS one would make her effeminate. This one took the longest to put on so she was quiet for a bit. Unaware that unlike the others she finally had one that she could step into and pull up, Ovelia struggled with the many layers of dress part trying to find her way in from the bottom. After she had it on and didn't feel exposed she continued, "You ever been there? Maybe you can take your fiancee? Oh...I didn't get your name I don't think." Ovelia commented realizing she had no idea what to call the lady helping her. "Thank you a bunch for your help...I'm sorry I'm so helpless with girly things. I'll be honest, I'm surprised a pirate knows much about dresses and style." She said looking confused at the lace in the stomach area. Why did everything have a tie there? What was it even supposed to tie? She tried putting it in a bow so it wouldn't hang low and because bows were girly right? She then noticed some more lace on the arms and had no clue what to do with that. She tried to tie it and just ended up scrunching the long sleeves. Finally, she came out her arms barely visible from the long drapping sleeve decorations. This outfit was a fancy beautiful dress of silvers, whites, reds, and blacks. Like the first one it had a hood, though this one's lace served to almost work as a weak corset, slightly showing her cleveage. A fact that Ovelia hadn't noticed as she was busy looking at the sleeves and trying to wiggle her arms out. "Why is this so long..." She mumbled. "Is this better? Its pretty effeminate!" She said with a grin. Surely this was the one?

"It's pretty good, I like the place. Has a nice energy to it, a bit busy, Give the matradee my name. Maya Torbiorn. He knows me, he'll give you guys a seat in a nice section." she said.
"Pirates are pirates only about 5% of the time, the other 95% of the time we're people with interests you know?" she pointed out.
"No, I don't think so, it doesn't go with your eyes, you put it on wrong, and it seems a bit big on you." she said, "try the last one."
"Though don't worry about it, it's always nice to have some girls talk you know?" she said.

"I meant no disrespect, especially since you have been so helpful." Ovelia comments about the pirate thing. "I...I've just had bad experience with an ex-pirate because of crap he does. I had to smack him around earlier in a duel because of his shenanigans. You are definitely different though." Ovelia comments as she looks down at the dress. "The other one seemed kinda plain, but sure." She said with a shrug. "Thank you Miss Torbiorn. You have been a life saver." Ovelia said with a thanking bow. When she felt the chest area drop, she realized what Maya meant about big and quickly brought up her hand to push the shirt up. "Err s-sorry. My outfits are usually not low c-cut and umm...changing now." She said blushing from the accidental show. She quickly stepped into the dressing room and shut the curtain out of embarrassment. Well, her hair had blocked it, right? And it was just a small gap from big, so probably nothing. She tried to tell herself as she started undressing. " So...why did you decide to be a pirate? You seem way too nice and not at all a creep like the others I know." She said trying to change the subject. Once undressed she picked up the last outfit. It had a normal pair of brown pants which she was definitely grateful for since she knew how to put those on at least. She slipped into the pants and then grabbed the blue dress that was with it. It seemed shorter than the others and far less fancy. However, the shorter and simpler design allowed her to easy put it on, for once without any difficulty. Then she took the brown outer part and was surprised to find it felt very much like normal non-weird fabric. Sne put it on and tried to lace up the corset part as best she could without assistance. Luckily, the tie was very similar to her corset so she didn't have too much trouble. She looked down at the sleeves dreading even more of the cursed ribbons that girly clothes seemed to be covered in and was surprised to find buttons. She buttoned up the sleeves and stepped out. "Its kinda plain, but way less annoying at least." She said as she stepped out.

"Yeah, but it's fine, the rest of them would've been to sudden." she said, "Plus this one looks like it's you. I like it.
"Why did I decide to be a pirate? All honesty, just wanted to, there's a certain something about being a pirate you know?" she said, "Let's put it this way. A pirate lives by rules that they set themselves."
"So sometimes Pirates set some shitty rules for themselves, some of them don't." she said, "We are the embodiment of freedom, or at least that's what I think."
"I can do what I want, whenever I want. That's what it means to be a pirate."
"No disrespect to you as a knight, but I'd hate having to follow the rules that you guys do." she said.

"I see...well you didn't try to peek while I changed or act like a pervert and were very helpful so I guess the pirate I know was just a bad example." Ovelia said. "And you think so? This looks good?" She asked surprised. "I mean it's nice. Its much easier to move in. I don't mind wearing it that much either. So do you think this will show I can be a girl not just a guy then?" She asked.
"I find the rules help people. I guess I always thought being a pirate was robbing people and being a criminal or pervert. I didn't realize it was just doing whatever. I mean, it isn't my thing but I will have to remember that and not automatically think that of others."

"I got this weapon from the shop right there," she said, pulling out the stinger that she had just purchased. "It's an arcane weapon that is supposed to increase the strength of my bug attacks, but now that I think about it, I didn't test it out. Huh. Well I suppose I can always find out later and return it if needs be. What were you doing in the backroom?" she asked. "Also, how did you get to know the people at that place?"

"Huh, that's interesting... I might have to look for a new weapon once I have more money again. They must have an even larger variety of things to offer than I thought," Mael said.
"Why I was in the backroom? Well, that's where my key leads. And really, it's more like they knew me. I had- have an older brother, Alvar. He was a Knight just like us, a member of the prestigious Order of the Black Sun, but he... disappeared a few years ago while on a mission. It seems he used to frequent the Velvet Room. I... I found out here that my brother is still alive after all this time. A man named Igor, who seems to be the owner of the Velvet Room, gave me information that I'll need in order to find him as well as my key. I was actually thinking of asking you and the rest of team for help." Though he sometimes hesitated a little when he spoke, as he talked about his brother Mael seemed to be somewhat agitated. From the looks of him, he was quite eager to get on with finding his brother.

Alex was impressed. Being let into the Order of the Black Sun was nothing to sneeze at. But that only brought greater alarm when he said they presumed him dead at first, and now they knew where he was. Alex frowned a little. She didn't exactly enjoy the idea of facing opponents that members of the Black Sun couldn't handle. If you need help from the rest of the team, I am assuming he is caught somewhere dangerous. Where exactly is he and what has he gotten himself into?"

Mael nodded seriously. "It seems to be pretty dangerous indeed, although he isn't there anymore, so it can't be too dangerous. The last place he was known to be at is a Dungeon two days away from Teplas. We'd have to go there to get a clue on his current whereabouts as well as what exactly it is that he's gotten himself into. All I know is that he was looking for information on a matter he was investigating - that was what he frequented the Velvet Room for; information - and then he needed to get stronger quickly so he sought out the Dungeon. The two things are likely related, meaning whatever he was looking for is probably quite dangerous too."

"OK. Quick question though. How are you going to convince Sans to let us have a couple of days off so we can explore a dungeon in which we may or may not possibly be killed?"

"That's something I still need to figure out. For now I'm just hoping that he'll understand if I talk to him about it. Who knows, he might even decide to send some more experienced members with us. I know that's terribly optimistic, but I want to be positive about this. I need to stay positive if I'm ever going to find my brother."

"Ryles help people, but I always thought that it might be better if rules weren't needed you know? Then there would mean that people could live together without them." Maya said.
"Anyways, I'll see you around Ovelia. Which order are you in? I'll send you a wedding invitation." She said, starting to walk out.

"Well I guess that is true but sadly they are needed." Ovelia comments. "Ummm do you know if I can pay the lady while still wearing this or do I need to change back and buy it and change again?"
When Maya offered the wedding invite Ovelia was surprised. "Umm...Youngest Sage for now...sadly." She grumbled. "Ovelia Verene." She added to give the woman a full name to address it. Still being invited meant there definitely wasn't anything illegal so that helped Ovelia feel assured she wouldn't need to ever be at odds with the helpful woman. "Do...do I need to get another dress for it? Or is this one or my formal attire acceptable?"

"Sure, being positive is a good thing. However, two years of no contact is a long time, anything could have happened. The dungeon is worth it though, because not only could you find stuff about your brother, we could also find some scrolls and stuff. I'm sure if we say it like that to Sans we can get him to approve a trip, with help of course." Alex opened the door to the exit of the Velvet Room, and held it open for Mael.

"Nah, don't worry about it, it's on me." She dropped another bag of coins on the table.
"Don't worry to much about the rest of it though, just wear whatever you want, I'm sure my husband and I will find it adorable." She smiled.
