"Then just don't dwell on those.
Come out and show us what you got?"
"You think it's a little too revealing? I tried pulling it down to hide my knees, but then that exposes my bra."
"You're on the right track, but...girls. A little help here."
"Wait, what are you doing?"
"Your dress is trying to reveal something about you, so why not just let it."
"Wait, you put those scissors down this instance. I don't think Theo will….."
*Snip. Snip*
"Don't worry. You won't feel a thing."
"Are you sure about this? Ruby, I told you, 'I can just go to the…."
"Shh. Shh. Shh.
Have you never been Tailored before?"
"Not like this."
"Arms out please."
"My sister gets all the fancy attention. I just get....."
"Hand me downs?"
"Exactly.
Wouldn't mind the experience but could never grasp why she always went through all this trouble for just one day of walking around? Then never to wear the dress again."
"I....don't have a good explanation for that, to be honest."
"Legs, Princess."
"My legs?"
"He needs every detail in order to get it just right.
I'll get your other shoe off.
You want your dress snug as a bug don't you."
"Yes, but my dress. Why can't I wear one of the dresses you brought? You wore Jacklyns."
"Those are everyday clothes."
"Umm..What you are wearing right now doesn't count as 'average everyday clothes.' "
"...To me they do."
"Ruby."
"Yes?"
"Can you give us the room please?"
"Uhh. I...….of course.
Rainbow, will you be ok?"
"Dj's got me."
"Then I will leave you two to it."
"Where will you be?"
"There are a few other people I would like to say goodbye to, if I don't see them tonight."
You know where I'll be when you come back."
"Hopefully in a long flowing dress that only helps make your eyes sparkle even more."
"I don't know about that because this is Rosa's day after all."
"Who's to say we can't crash it."
"I think you already did."
"What are you doing here? You want your phone back?"
"Keep it. We got everything cleared, so don't worry.
As to why we are here, Tailors aren't just for royalty you know.
…..Here to pick up."
"What did you do?"
"After you left, the Games heated up and got messy. So much so that...
Thank you."
"That looks like a very expensive Jacket."
"Oh. This?
Na. It was a bit nippy that night, and this...*Tap. Tap*. I take it everywhere. Gift from my brother, so I won't let anything happen to it. That's why I always send it here."
"You value clothes more than people?"
"Na.I.....no. This is just a memorable collection. It holds no value to others, but to me it does. Have you not experienced that?"
"I...my mom alway taught me never to hold onto something I don't need, because the moment you don't need something, someone else does.
Holding onto something was always a sickening thought, as you walked by someone with nothing.
And others always did.
The experience is what I was after, not the item. Those just always made me remember all the times I wasn't....there; and haunted me of what if."
"Then what's all that stuff in your hands? You don't look like the one who would be buying that everyday.
If you so want to forget, then why carry?"
"Oh this. It's just...."
"Memories.
That's what they are called, Ruby. Not just faces. Not just people you saved, but memories of those you care for."
