Video | Open to Both Courts

[floralteas]

[ The video shows a slender young man in tattered Japanese robes. On his head is an open face mask of a dog made from paper and thread, its mane reaching up to the small of the man's back. ]

These monsters aside, this is the nicest kidnapping I've ever been to. It's been days and I have yet to be drugged, beaten or sold into slavery. [ Considering what his life was like, this is seriously a step up. ] But clothes might not last these attacks, so if I start walking around naked please refrain from pointing or grabbing at my manly spirit. I'm actually quite shy. [ Shiro said, as he smiled boldly. ]

Is there a place in this world for an umbrella maker to gather materials for his craft? I used most of what I could find for this mask. I'm mostly in need of colored paper, paints, oil, lacquer, and bamboo.

[as pretty as your hair and eyes might be, sara still makes a reproachful face at that possibility.]

Monsters or not, I'm sure there's no need to be exposing yourself. The fairies seem happy to bring you more clothing if necessary.

[floralteas]

[ And as pretty as he might be, he is still a boy and Shiro is starting to understand what it is about his own androgynous good looks that pisses people off. ]

Will they bring pants and a clean pair of underwear?

[enthraller]

[as someone from a world where no one gives a shit about gender, saralegui fails to see the frustrating part here.]

They'll bring you whole sets of new clothing if you'd like. Have you really not gotten anything new yet? I can't imagine it's comfortable to be wearing the same clothes for days.

[floralteas]

I used them as art materials. Because I would rather walk around naked. We should all be allowed to walk around as naked as we pleased.

[enthraller]

Is that normal where you come from?

[floralteas]

It'd be a much better place if it were.

[enthraller]

...So basically, you're an exhibitionist.

[floralteas]

I'm an artist. And as an artist, I put on exhibitions all the time.

[enthraller]

Of course.

[so very unconvinced.]

Well, if you're that proud of your art, would you "exhibit" it before the monarchs here as well?

[floralteas]

'es. [ with great conviction ] Queens get an interactive exhibit.

[there may be a little upward twitch at the corner of his lips. but he's trying very hard to keep a straight face.]

I don't imagine her husband would appreciate that.

[floralteas]

[ scrunching his nose a little. who cares about the husband? ]

The king can look, but he can't touch.
