YOUNG MASTER...
YOU REALLY ARE QUITE KIND.
...WELL,
I'M ALWAYS KIND TO MY LOVER.

KIND? WHAT WAS I EVEN THINKING?
WHAT I'VE SEEN OF HIM SO FAR IS HIS TRUE NATURE.
HEAD TO 17TH STREET.
YES, YOUNG MASTER.
NOT THE DUCAL ESTATE?
WHAT? SCARED BECAUSE IT'S TOO LAVISH?
I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY YOU BROUGHT ME HERE.
IS IT TO INTIMIDATE ME?
AS IF~
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE THE TYPE TO BE INTIMIDATED ANYWAY.

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE SEEN DRESSES LIKE THESE.
YOU THINK THESE ARE JUST ORDINARY DRESSES?
THIS SHOP IS RUN BY HOUSE BLACKWOOD.
THE FINEST TAILORS IN ALL OF BLANCHE ARE GATHERED HERE.
WELCOME, LORD BLACKWOOD.
SHALL I SHOW YOU THE SUIT FABRICS FIRST? OR SHOULD WE TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS...
IT'S NOT FOR ME.
IT'S FOR HER.

MY BEAUTIFUL LOVE,
WOULD YOU DO ME THE HONOR OF LETTING ME GIFT YOU BEAUTIFUL WINGS?
WHAT IS HE DOING...
...AH.
OF COURSE.
SINCE IT IS A GIFT FOR ME,
MAKE SURE IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GOWN IN BLANCHE.

YOU ARE ALWAYS SO KIND, YOUNG DUKE.
NO WONDER THE STAFF LOOKED SO FLUSTERED.
...I FORGOT THAT I CAN'T LACE UP A DRESS CORSET ALONE.
It's Been Years Since I've Had Any Reason To Wear A Dress Like This.
THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO IT. I SHOULD CALL FOR AN EMPLOYEE.
EXCUSE ME...COULD YOU HELP ME?
COULD YOU TIE THE CORSET...
?!
PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE WALL SO YOU DON'T FALL.
WHAT ARE YOU--
UGH...!

I WAS OBVIOUSLY CALLING FOR AN EMPLOYEE...!
WHY? AM I NOT ENOUGH?
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT...!
UGH!
I'M JUST BEING 'KIND' AND HELPING YOU.
DON'T TELL ME...
THE YOUNG DUKE IS ALWAYS SO KIND.
STOP TAKING YOUR ANGER OUT ON ME!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
UGH, THAT'S ENOUGH...!
AH!
!!!
...SHOULD WE STEP OUTSIDE...?
...THAT'S ENOUGH.
WHAT? I WAS ONLY HELPING MY LOVER WITH HER FITTING.
THE TAILORS ARE ALREADY GONE, SO WHY ARE YOU STILL BEING SO STUBBORN...!
IF THIS WAS JUST FOR SHOW, YOU'VE ALREADY ACHIEVED YOUR GOAL, SO IT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH.
STOP WASTING TIME LOOKING AT DRESSES.
IT'S NOT A WASTE OF TIME.
BECAUSE YOU'LL BE WEARING THIS DRESS NEXT WEEK.
