[Of course she did!]

Why? Is it too slow for you down there? Too nice?

[bostova]

Too nice.

[ It was the same at Jotunheim. Probably worse, there. ]

And men there are too intimidated by Russian woman with knives. [ s h r u g ]

[thetalavega]

[Chuckles.]

Well, to be fair to Netsach, you're yet to see those guys really in action. But I can get why a Zangyaku base would seem so different after spending some time at Falner.

[As things stood, Zangyaku was more Tala's thing anyway.]

[bostova]

I find it more interesting with Zangyaku, but... I suppose I have always been biased.

[ No duh. ]

[thetalavega]

Well, I can't fault a girl for having good tastes.

[Winking now, then turning her gaze back to the road.]

I am SO happy that people in this country know how to drive now. It was crazy back then.

[Now Tala's one of the only crazy people on the road.]

[bostova]

[ Define crazy. ]

I never would have guessed.

[ These seatbelts better hold. ]

[thetalavega]

[She totally knows that her speed and propensity to take calculated (yes, calculated) risks is disturbing, Yulia.

OH WELL.]

Now everyone gets to reach their destination at a reasonable time! Isn't it great?

[bostova]

[ Well. That's reassuring. ]

It is. The number of public transportation available also helps, I suppose.

[ She'll probably agree with most things because conversation? How do you keep that up? ]

[thetalavega]

That too! I love how efficient everything in this country is now~

[And with the way she talks, you'd think she didn't come from the Philippines.]

Anyway! How good do you want to look for Bri? Good, really good, or abso-fucking-lutely fabulous?

[bostova]

[ She actually thinks about this for a bit. ]

... Decent.

[thetalavega]

But decent isn't going to cut it!

[DISAPPOINT.]

[bostova]

[ She tried. Sigh. ]

What do you suggest, then?

[thetalavega]

First, we definitely have to bring you to a spa.

[This prospect seems to excite Tala a lot.

You should probably be worried about that, Bostova.]

[bostova]

[ Well. If the spa is anything like the onsen, Yulia might be fine with it, but... ]

May I ask why?

[thetalavega]

Because you are seriously in need of a makeover if you want to be fabulous for Brianna, and a date with the spa is the best step to take in that direction.

[Looks mean a lot more than people think they do, after all.]

[bostova]

[ That's... reasonable enough. ]

Then... wouldn't it be better if we saved that for after we go shopping?

[ Because, if she has this right, makeovers would require better clothes than what she currently has on her now. (Is she learning, Tala?) ]

[thetalavega]

Ooooh, yeah! That's an excellent idea!

[She quietly approves of the fact that, in spite of everything, this one's still a quick study.

And now they're pulling into the parking lot. That is probably the only reason why Tala has slowed the car down to a reasonable speed.]

Hmm. Since we're here, I suppose you can help me shop for my daddies too.

[bostova]

I am not sure how much I can be if help with that, but I will try.

[ She could barely shop for herself, how can she ship for two other men?! ]

[thetalavega]

Trust me, it just takes practice. It always helps to start with what you definitely DON'T want to see a guy wear, in my experience.

[And up to a reasonable floor~ gotta love the side benefits of being a Hunter. Every place in your territory is obligated to have parking set aside for you.]

[bostova]

You make it sound easy. [ Not that she doesn't trust you or anything!! ]

[thetalavega]

Stick with me long enough, and it'll get REALLY easy for you, really fast.

[She will make a proper girl out of you soon enough, Yulia Bostova. Parking now!]

[bostova]

... Alright.

[ This is an important life skill, too, right? ]

[thetalavega]

[She breezes out of her own car, and waits until Yulia's out before locking it. Then clicking off.

How the hell does a girl move that fast in six-inch heels? That is the question, indeed.]

Since we're pressed for time, I guess we'll have to save a wardrobe revamping date for another time.

[SIGH.]

[bostova]

I do not think that is necessary.

[ She catches up easily enough, but she does wonder how anyone can actually move in those heels. ]

[thetalavega]

Of COURSE it is! Just not now.

[Yeah, she is not taking no for an answer.]
