Ah. Of course. He's... a very charming little fellow, isn't he. [ The clerk says with the practiced agreeableness that only came from working with a certain kind of clientele. A clientele that included individuals who insist upon the carrying around of their spoiled, poorly behaved lap dogs. ]
While dogs aren’t generally allowed in the fitting area, I’ll make an exception in your case. [ He smiles, gesturing elegantly toward a curtained area and nodding for Chishiya to follow. ]

Once I take your measurements, I can show you our fine collection of fabric options. We offer just about every color you could imagine, including custom hues if you'd prefer. Once you've made your selection, we can get to work discussing detailing; lapels, cuffs, buttons, stitching styles, tailoring...

I’d definitely be interested in a bespoke suit.
[Did he agree to this because of Jake’s approval or to help ensure they don’t get kicked out on their asses? Hard to say.]

They were going to be here awhile.]
