Books, Books, and You Guessed It, More Books: Coven Library (OPEN)

[To some, doing research is far from relaxing. But in the case of the woman curled up in a chair in the corner of some far section, books are a relaxing matter. With the stress for the past couple of moons mostly gone, Mira can get back to work on researching and reading up on new schools of magic. While she does enjoy her alchemy and offensive magics, she needs to focus more on the school she has taken some smaller looks in but important for some: Illusions.

Now she isn't the type to like to hide herself but she can see the benefits for it. That and ponder how to combine this art with the other magics already learned. Mira likes a challenge and as long as she's not overworking her body, it should be fine. But she may have grabbed a few more books than expected. Did you need that book on Illusions? She may have it so it wouldn't be harmful to ask about it.]


What Is Shopping For Yourself?: Shopping District (OPEN)

[Shopping for Mira usually consists of getting either potion ingredients or food and sundries for the house. When it comes to herself, anything outside of the essentials is rather off limits for her. Blame her own upbringing but Mira didn't mind it. She didn't pay much attention to clothing and fashion; her idea of fashion is 'is it comfortable and if it is sturdy enough for more grueling activities.

She can't wear her armor everywhere after all.

But it's one store that Mira can't help but stop and look through the window, noticing the clothing inside. There's a variety between trousers and suits and even dresses and skirts. And they certainly look comfortable to walk around in...]

Wait, what am I doing? I shouldn't even think about it.

[Yeah, poor person guilt here. Hard to get rid of.]


If All Else Fails...Tea: DiplomaTea (OPEN)

[Libraries are not good for wanting to eat or drink since it may hurt the books. But thankfully, Mira remembers the shop where the Valentione's celebration was held and she was in the mood for some good tea. With her nose in a book, she is also going to be trying some teas.

And by trying, we mean order several different blends at once and the table having several cups. What? She's adventerous. Mild flavor? Crazy flavor? She's trying it. Don't question it...or maybe you should.]

Oh...what is this I'm tasting?

[Definitely ask.]


To Feel The Warmth Of Another: House Darkness (Closed to Housemates)

[Emotions have been tough to deal with lately. She gets that with the conversations between those she knows and the past events. But oddly enough, she gets an idea and honestly does not know where it will lead. However, they will notice the extra pillows and blankets somehow going missing if they need one.

But in reality, they're all in the living area as Mira is arranging them in some odd way with any tables or chairs pushed off to the side. Girl, what are you doing?]


Wildcard

[Got another idea not listed? Hit me up!]

Comments

[inlikethebrume]

[She's about to ask if they're one of those 'honorable knight' types but something is telling her to hold off for now.]

To offer assistance when needed then? Don't I know the type.

[She is the type but Mira is trying to ease up on the help unless she wants to be sick in bed again.]

[wylderrant]

Ah! So you know of the sort of thing I talk about. Now, this may seem a small thing, but it's just in my nature - I see someone deliberating and I want to find out more. I want to help.

[ AKA poke her nose in and maybe make things better or worse, depending. ]

[inlikethebrume]

[Who even knows.]

It feels more like something I should choose but...I was looking at these garments in the window. The fact that they are rather nice looking doesn't help matters in the slightest.

[wylderrant]

Well, isn't the point to look nice? You may as well see how they fit - or get a fitting, just to see how it would look on you. What's the harm?

[inlikethebrume]

Old habits die hard I suppose.

[Like seriously, when you spend most of your childhood in a poor area, the things your mind does to try and parse why you shouldn't do the thing.]

[wylderrant]

Fair enough; but this is a new place.

[ She is trying to be an enabler here. ]

[inlikethebrume]

New place mayhap but the point still stands.

[One cannot simply break that kind of habit so easily. It's hard.]

[wylderrant]

Still, worth considering, isn't it?

[ C'mon, live a little. She's trying to be helpful! ]

[inlikethebrume]

...maybe.

[She lives plenty! Dark Knights have more fun than most!]

[wylderrant]

Only maybe?

[ Iramaat scoffs and offers her arm. ]

I insist.

[inlikethebrume]

[Oh Halone, give her strength. There's the thought that she will not stop until Mira gives in and the Warrior does feel a bit annoyed, almost like being strong armed into this. But if it will get her to stop then maybe it'll calm down.

And she's not taking her arm. Sorry, but still a stranger.]

Fine, I will take a better look.

[wylderrant]

[ Look, Iramaat is helping. Sort of. Maybe. Or possibly just being incredibly irritating. ]

Fantastic! See? You can live a little...

[inlikethebrume]

I live plenty.

[Second one right now as Mira opens the door and pokes her head inside. The shop itself is nicely lit and clean and doesn't seem to have any pushy seamstresses so far so she steps inside quietly.

Ok so she hasn't been noticed. Good. Hopefully it stays that way and no one makes any loud declarations.]

[wylderrant]

[ Iramaat is excited and she immediately heads for some of the fancy clothing on display. ]

What do you think about this one?

[ Lots of frills. Lots of volume. Fancy. ]

[inlikethebrume]

[Upon seeing the monstrosity being presented to her, the mental sirens in Mira's head went off. Not even Hildibrand, who can wear women's clothing without breaking a seam, could look decent in such a thing. It takes everything she has not to yell NOPE right in the middle of the shop.]

I'm afraid that I would get lost in such a garment. Just vanish within the fabric.

[wylderrant]

Hmmm. Fair enough.

[ She taps her chin with a frown. She is determined to do something with all of this tonight. ]

Something with a bit less flash...? [ She fingers a more subdued dress. It's still got a bit of pep to it, but it's also not so... much. ]

[inlikethebrume]

Mayhap to find something for yourself as well. I would feel awful to be alone in this endeavor.

[Do you realize how hard it's been to resist saying that she should try that horrible first dress? It seriously looks like a namazu drank too much tea and asked his buddies what kind of crazy they can put on a festival outfit. But the second one...ok, it doesn't look as bad.]

I'm not the flashy type. The more comfortable, the better in my opinion.

[Can it be found in this place? Who knows.]

[wylderrant]

I was considering that.

[ She's been glancing around and thinking about finding something, but honestly her first priority is this absolute stranger she's "helped" into checking things out. ]

What about something like... that? [ she points at another dress. It's a bit more utilitarian, modeled after a work-dress of some sort, but still gussied up to be more high society. ]

[inlikethebrume]

[What happens when two people who are more inclined to help another over themselves? Apparently this. Seeing the dress in question, Mira hums and lightly holds the fabric of one of the sleeves. For some reason, it reminds her of the dresses back in Ishgard, the more plain version of the dress the highborn ladies would wear but with more life.]

This...this isn't bad actually.

[wylderrant]

Do you think it would suit yoy?

[ She squints, clearly trying to imagine what it might look like. ]

Or is the color not very flattering?

[ So far they haven't attracted the attention of anyone trying to sell them something.

Yet. ]

[inlikethebrume]

M-Maybe. I've seen this style before but never tried it. Back in my homeland I mean.

[Not to mention the color is rather nice. After all, red is her favorite shade considering she somehow wears it in everything.]

And the fabric does feel rather easy to move in...

[Please for the love of Halone, no merchants until needed.]

[wylderrant]

You ought to try it on then.

[ This is simple logic! Iramaat is quite sure of it. ]

Or... hmm. Maybe something with a higher collar? [ She puts her chin in her hand and tilts her head as she eyes her new acquaintance. ]

What sort of styles do you usually go for?

[inlikethebrume]

[Raising an eyebrow, she's not sure what is happening.]

I...I don't really know what my style is. My thoughts usually go to if I am able to wear it and move around since my choice of weapon is heavier than most.

[If she had Shadowbringer with her, she would be able to explain more. But she dusts off her trousers and looks down at her go to item that she does enjoy: her black thigh high stiletto boots.]

Does these [Pointing to said boots] count as a style?

[wylderrant]

Oh - so you're usually in armor, then?

[ She's curious. She sounds like a warrior, honestly, what with the talk of large weapons. Still, there's something to be said about boots. She adores boots. ]

Oh-

[ She glances down and positively beams. ]

I love those. I'm just sad that I have hooves so I can't really wear anything like that anymore. So yes, those would absolutely count as a style.

[inlikethebrume]

From time to time. While here, I have not needed it but in dire circumstances.

[Such as the Rathmore raid. Boy did some of those nobles did not enjoy getting stabbed (see cleaved) but it was their own fault for striking first. But looking down at the other's hooves and how she missed them, Mira can't help but feel bad.]

Oh, I'm sorry that you can't wear them anymore. Maybe they'll make a style for hooves that will be comfortable?
