僕に任せて!

I think you look fine?  You look presentable!  You look ready for him?  Slippers or not, I mean, I’m barefoot, so??

-She’s righting her haori as she, too, starts to yammer.-

Did you see him?  Hijikata-san???  I thought I heard shouting?

Y-Yes! I saw him in the bathroom with Master! I was going to go in, but... Ah...

[He starts to come in and see and-- Oh. Wait, hold on a moment.]

[Do his clothes look clean? Is he presentable? Is Kane-san presentable? He’s quickly dusting himself off and adjusting his bow, making sure his hair isn’t sticking up any more than it usually does and making sure he’s in proper order. His uniform should look nice if it really is Hijikata-sama.]

[He ruffles his hair.]

Hey, hey, don’t worry about it. I ain’t mad at you or anything? If it was something that someone else told ya, it’s not your fault.

… Archer said that, huh? Guess I should head that way.

[Be nice, Cu. Don’t be dong to someone you haven’t met yet.]

I’m Cu Chulainn. The “Hound of Chulainn.” But don’t call me a dog, okay?

D’ya need me for something, bud?

Please forgive me! I didn’t mean to be rude, that’s just what I was told. Admittedly when he said dog I thought he meant... an actual dog... which didn’t make much sense at all but now I understand.

Blue, red eyes, and staff...

Yes, I am! Can you help me maybe?

-She laughs a bit.-

I’m pretty obvious, huh.

If you can take care of those, I’ll take care of this one and the cat plushes.

Good luck! I think this stuff looks a little better than what you got in the mail last time. Surely nothing bad will happen.

Of course you are!  These are super plain, so have at it.  I think it’d be cute if you guys got to dress them up or–ah!

It does look like we’ve got an extra one, you’re right.

-She’s taking it and frowning a bit, going for the receipt buried in the box and holding it up with it.-

We weren’t charged for it, at least…  It’s a spare, at least…

-She doesn’t really want an extra one lying around.  She’s got ideas.-

Thank you, I’ll have to get to sewing right away. I think I can get Kanesan to wear this one when he helps me out in the kitchen.

I-I don’t think I want to know how often Mitsutada’s been pig’d right now.

Of course it’s fine, or I wouldn’t have offered!  

-Once she’s got the box, she’s opening the tape with her nails?  Vampire privileged and a reminder she’s going to need to file the claws down soon if she’s going to be a good girlfriend.  A good slice and she’s opening the huge box up-

-There are the cats that she and Beowulf mass purchased, but there’s also an equally impressive stack of aprons, in mostly plain colors as she said, but a few kind of basic prints, but there’s no duplicates as far as she can tell as she hauls them out.-

I figured you guys would claim one or two that you like, put your names on them and stuff?

Some of these are really nice...

[He seems to be having a bit of trouble as he glances over them; he’s certainly more drawn to the patterned ones over the simple solid colors. Looking through and comparing each one to clothes, he seems intent on finding the perfect match.]

I really do like this one with the flowers. I hope it’s okay if I take it. Ah, I want this blue one too. I’d like to do some sewing and give it a Shinsengumi touch.

[He pauses, holding one up.]

I’m glad–I know that things can get kind of chaotic with how many of you guys there are around and only one big kitchen here.  I think the one in Chaldea proper is treated more like a spare even if it’s an industrial kitchen…

Would you like to choose yours while you’re here?  The colors are plain, but I imagine they can have stuff added to them, if you’re inclined.

I’ve been lucky enough to avoid upsetting Circe too much, but I’m worried Mitsutada may be permanently effected if he gets turned into a pig too often....

I suppose so…

Actually, I got something for you–and a few others.  As well as some stuffed animals.  It’s not too thrilling, but I thought we needed more aprons since we have a few more of you guys who like to cook than we did a year a go… plus Mitustada might like a new one.

The barrel’s for Merlin, so… He’ll find it, I’m pretty sure.  Thank you, though.

I’m surprised it got here so fast with the storms and stuff…

I am too. The delivery guy seemed pretty upbeat too... must be someone that really enjoys his work.
