If I wanted you to wear it, I would ask--I am not so timid as to not approach you with my opinions. [At least not with something inconsequential like clothing...]
[Claude can't help the way he straightens at the compliment, rubbing his beard to try to hid his slight embarrassment.] Thank you, though I can't take the credit for the design, besides a flourish here and there. [Mostly his belt, the smallest bit of his homeland he would allow--it's not like Alymran silks were uncommon in the Alliance, after all.] I suppose it comes with the job to let other people dress me to their whims.
[He pushes past his embarrassment, chuckling.]But you don't have a job like that. Regalia has a time and place, but this is neither of those. [He shakes his head, fond smile still on his face.] What you typically wear suits you, and it's what we've become familiar with. Makes us nostalgic for a simpler time, you know?
