( it hasn't been long since their arrival, but celeste is very much the closest person to mafuyu so far. so when he's going out into town, she decides to come with.
it's giving 'baby duckling' to be honest.
but at some point, she stops walking beside him, and there's a bit of a fuss- when celeste turns, mafuyu is... well, she's being poached by photographers. they seem really eager! and she seems very overwhelmed. )
[It is very much giving 'baby duckling' but. Well. We can bring along a baby duckling on mission: make a mental map of the city and also do cleanup missions because we don't know what sitting still means.
Or, well, at least until That Photographer And Friends start to bother his baby duckling.]
Can we help you?
[Just gonna step up between Mafuyu and the photographers. He's seen them enough times this week that he knows they won't be deterred, but maybe she'll be a little less overwhelmed if they stop crowding so much.]
( oh thank god. a buffer. pardon mafuyu for hiding behind him a little. the photographer doesn't seem too put off, instead brightening even more-
You two are perfect! Have you ever considered modeling? Yes? Well, we've got some walk-on roles open right now and we have the perfect set for you and your... niece? Niece. )
[He'll continue to be a buffer for her, but does turn a little bit to look down at her, the "you up for it?" question left unspoken so there's no pressure.
Well, no pressure from him, at any rate.
We'll pay, of course- you'll get to keep whatever clothes you model, it's the least we could do--]
He's fine with being ushered in, but she definitely still looks overwhelmed, so he'll just reach out and take her hand as they're being sent off to wardrobing, stylists already buzzing around to find something appropriately matching for them.
And he'll field them, too.]
No, no that's a bit too revealing, isn't it? Oh, she's seventeen, not seventy-- Your photographers did mention butterflies, why don't we start there...
[Start. If Mafuyu only wants to go one round, then they'll go one round. If she gets comfortable, then they might well walk out with a whole new wardrobe.]
( she's either going to be these people's dream or nightmare, given that shehas no strong opinion whatsoever on whatever is offered- celeste's fielding is godsend because she really would just let them do whatever, otherwise. which. probably isn't great!
there does seem to be something that lights up in her eyes when she sees the outfit picked for her, though, which is more than anything else this place has offered thus far can say. mafuyu looks back to celeste as if to say, "i'm going now" before being ushered to the changing room.
duckling indeed.
meanwhile, the head coordinator jumps in-
Looks like they'll have her ready soon, soooo... your turn! )
[Probably a little of column A, and a little of column B. On her own, they could do whatever, which some would surely take advantage of while others would be frustrated by... but then when she lights up and immediately goes with an outfit, the demeanor flips.
For his part, he's easy. She'll be ready soon, so he doesn't bother being picky for himself, letting them adorn him in whatever outfit they have ready to match hers.
And then he waits for her, lingering somewhat closer to the changing room than is strictly necessary.]
( eventually she comes out again, dolled up appropriately, and more than a little shy. the matching shoes invoke the image of ballet shoes, laced up perfectly.
Doesn't she just look perfect? It's got that summer flow but those early autumn vibes! one of the makeup artists asks gleefully, fixing a tuft of hair that's been gently curled, tied back with a black lace ribbon. )
[The important part is that she likes it, so he doesn't seem to react overly much until she says so - and then he smiles and gives a decisive nod.]
I like it, too. You look lovely.
[For his part, he's been set up in a look that's not matching outright, but thematically adjacent.
And doesn't his just complete the vibe of those autumn days that are still as hot as summer? I just love the flowers and butterflies together, too~ another makeup artist responds, fussing with adding a few monarch butterfly clips into the waves of his hair to really sell the looks being tied together.]

almost reluctantly, mafuyu nods. )
I need... more to wear than my uniform...
( GREAT! We've got the perfect idea for you, how do you feel about butterflies?
which is to say, they are... already being ushered in. oh dear. oh no. aaaaaaaaaaaa.... )
