"Now then...what sort of work would you like to have done? A specific garment? Would you like it repaired, or modified? Please, give me all of the details of your request."
A pleasant smile ー

"Michaela, hm? You must be from a different nation. My name is Kayo Sudou."
With a hint of grace, the older of the two folded her ー
@GruneElphegort There was a deep sigh of relief upon hearing the name of the traveller. Upon closer inspection, she /did/ look foreign, rather than being a native of Jakoku. Now that the suspicion of a vengeful spirit or entity had been mostly removed from her mind for the time being, she was ー

@GruneElphegort She was still wary of the customer. She halted her hands, as a way to show attentive listening - a trait that shopowners should display, even in such odd circumstances as the one that they were engaged in at the moment. Not only that, but after making a mistake in her cutting ー

@GruneElphegort ー why did she have such a different...aura? There were slight differences, of course, yet Kayo could swear they were the same person.
'Keep calm. Be kind, and continue working,' she thought to herself. In following through with her thoughts, the tailor resumed working on the ー

@GruneElphegort In the shop, Kayo sat at her table. For traditional purposes, she was on her knees, back bent over the table as she worked on tailoring a kimono for a neighboring woman. The business was busy as always, with this woman being the only worker in the only tailor shop in the small ー
