Forgiven
[ No one questioned anything when William suddenly left his office that morning. "I've been called to a meeting" was all the information he gave the rest of Dispatch. To them, it wasn't surprising, seeing as he was the head of the department. For William, however, the summoning came with zero notice. As he made his way to the upper managements' offices, all he could wonder was what issue his subordinates caused that he'd have to clean up after, this time.
It wasn't until lunch break that William returned to Dispatch. The others expected they'd get reprimanded for something, but William remained quiet, his face expressionless as he closed the door to his office. ]

[ He's not so much angry as miffed.
Though he hardly cares what any onlookers may think, there's an awkwardness surrounding not looking casual, but also looking highly unprofessional ]
no subject
Fashion is expressive, and I think that if you find a way to present yourself the way that I see you, I'll be forced to fight off other women in the streets!
[ Wrapping her arms tighter around his, she rests her cheek atop his shoulder possessively. ]
Regardless, you should know that I'd be proud to be seen with you, even if you were naked. [ A breath. ] Especially if you were naked.
no subject
[ His mouth hardens into a line and he gives her a look that says he's serious and not changing his stance on that, regardless of if she was actually suggesting he walk around naked or not. ]
no subject
You never know, and should it happen, you'll definitely want me there.
no subject
[ Even though she's clung to his arm, he makes to right his collar, buttoning it back up to it's usual place. ]
What way would you have me present myself? Aside from naked.
no subject
Current garments considered, you're fine as you are. [ She leans in awfully close, as though to kiss him, but stops short. ] Just wait until I get you into those shops, however!
no subject
Get going to the restaurant, already.
[ As grumpy as he's gotten suddenly, the lunch outing does well to relax him, once more. Even as they exit the restaurant, he's looking around at the various shops the plaza has to offer. He'll admit, he hasn't even bothered exploring the area until now. ]
Which shop are you thinking first?
no subject
Once fed, Grell can barely keep still! Not only is her energy renewed, she gets to go shopping for an entire wardrobe! Sure, it isn't for her, but she gets the chance to dress William up, which is almost BETTER.
Arms swaying gleefully, she turns on heel to face him as they walk. ]
Down at the next corner, there's a glorious boutique that specialises in eccentric cuts and prints. [ She tucks those arms behind her. ] We can find something exciting that speaks to you, and build around that with some more practical pieces!
no subject
[ He's already looking sceptical. Tagging 'eccentric' onto it doesn't help much, either. ]
no subject
[ WINK. ]
no subject
[ But her hand is kept within his as they enter the shop. And any odd looks the two men receive from employees or other customers do little to get him to let go. ]
no subject
A gleeful blush creeps over her skin, her free hand resting over her swollen heart-- and rhe curious - especially the scrupulous -looks they might receive only make her straighten her posture with pride, lashes fluttering as she flaunts the expression to match! ]
Now, why don't we start simple. [ At last, she breaks her unusually flustered silence, in favor of reaching out to touch the sleeve of a very smart blazer. ] Deep grey and black houndstooth. Terribly subtle, but it's got its charm. A toe in the water, you know.
no subject
Doable.
no subject
[ Clasping her hands with a pleased little hum, she's not wandering off like a distracted child, now untethered. ]
We need to add some texture, some drama! [ She outstretched her arms to the back wall, displaying all of the shop's most interesting pieces. ] If I can't get you in some color, perhaps we can go the opposite route with layers of rich black fabrics~♡
no subject
[ He eyes her warily. Yes the reaper uniform is nothing to be called fancy, and certainly not dramatic, but William thinks he looks quite good in it, regardless. Seems he's already forgotten he's no longer expected to adhere to a reaper's garb. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Her explanation of her thought process seems to calm him quite a bit. It even has him turning to a rack of ties and slowly turning it to see his options. ]
no subject
Good, more to play with!
[ She nearly skips to the racks of ready-to-wear pieces, one having already caught her eye. And then another! ]
You see, these are rather practical, aren't they?
no subject
I prefer the second.
[ He approaches, taking one of the sleeves in hand to inspect the quality. It' followed with a nod. ]
no subject
Perhaps a printed waistcoat, then!
no subject
What colour or pattern would go well with this green?
[ Interest progress! ]
no subject
When in doubt, stick with neutrals. Greyscale, shades of brown, cremes, and whites... [ To demonstrate, she pulls out a check patterned vest with cool grey tones, and another mid-brown vest donning a wide window pane pattern in green. ] And see how this second incorporates the color of the jacket?
[ Piling those into his arms, she shuffles for one more, pulling a warm plum vest. ] Colors that compliment green are red and purples, and since we don't want you suited to court Saint Nicolas, I think something like this would be better.
no subject
I would have thought you'd have decked me out in all red, by now. Though you're already counting it out.
[ And he doesn't sound upset by this, at all! ]
no subject
Now, I did not emit the possibility of red. Only>/i> with a green suit jacket.[ Giving him that last garment, she's rerouted in search of something that he must try on now-- and very red!! ] Let's see what we can find, then!!
no subject
You may look nice in other colours, as well.
