The lady smiled and took the flower. Why thank you Master clothier. It is very lovely. She followed him and chuckled, watching Ciel behave just as she did, oh so long ago. She could not help but smile as she followed them back.
Vetli stood as well and nodded to them as they left the room. He sat at the same time Regent did and looked Regent's way as he spoke. He sat back and crossed his little heels, pulling his little spectacles off and cleaning them with a rag.
Chancellor, our charge is doing very well. She has taken to all of our lessons like...well, not quite so much as a duck to water, but it is close enough for us. We were thinking that she was going to need proper clothes, but you beat us to that. And I am also currently thinking that our dear cat would like to make some time to start reading books. She expressed a very strong interest when I mentioned reading. I assume that she has this desire for a reason. One besides her usual thirst for knowledge. I would sincerely like to feed that hunger, a little at a time, if I may.

Thane watches with a prick of jealousy as Tre'Maya is escorted by the leccubi to the back fitting room while he charms her. The thought of breaking him in two flashes in his red eyes till he hears the little professor speak of Ciel's ambition to read.
"Indeed she has even remarked to me how she has desired to learn the alphabet. That was some time ago. She has had time to learn since then, the next logical step is structured literature. Though just like I was when younger, the Lady gave me books that sparked my interest to first get me into reading. A tactic that became her pattern in my education as well. If I showed an interest in something she would find ways to teach other things through that very topic. It worked so well, I learned at an accelerated rate because I became thirsty for knowledge to know more." He nods softly.

Regent nods, "I believe that to be an excellent idea Professor. Please keep the topic upbeat to suit her personality is all I ask. That way our Ciel can remain uplifted to face her tasks of education with the benefits of eager anticipation." he nods and then sips his wine.
"As for Master Thane Professor, How are his advanced tactics and logistical command studies progressing?" he asks his question like Thane were not there in the room with them.

The little demon nodded and replaced his spectacles on his face. But of course, Chancellor. I'll start her off small, perhaps something we give to our smaller students, and then work her up. I'm sure she'll get to love it.
When Thane's status was inquired about, Vetli grinned. The Lady has taken care of Master Thane's teaching specifically. It would do better to ask her, but since the boy is with us, you might inquire of him how he is doing from him.
Tre'Maya meanwhile was watching the Master Clothier carefully. She had felt Thane's eyes burn into him and she quite understood. She would not completely trust him either, in his place. She placed the bloom in her hair and continued following them back.

Regent nods to the demonling slowly. "I ask you simply because one can never accurately assess their own progress. Pride, and exaggeration go hand in hand when self appraisal is asked for. No offense to you Thane it is just a trait everyone shares. I want to know for sure where your progress lays. Then I can judge your strengths and know where to accurately necessitate more work in the hidden problem areas." he says softly.

Vetli smiled and nodded his little head. I completely understand Chancellor. He inclines his head in Thane's direction and chuckles.
Being as how he was always such a bright pup, Thane has taken to his new lessons and things better than a suck to water, more like an expensive ink to parchment. He's soaked up as much as he can and then some with a rare mistake here and there, but as it's mostly book learning, he has yet to test it.
Do you know of any exercises that he could do? I know of a mortal game that he might like, but he may not have the patience for it, and the true point of the game is somewhat different...but it would give him tactical practice of some sort.

Regent nods to the professor... "If this game you have in mind shall accomplish that end Professor, then I shall allow it and by all means, you are free to give it your all to test his resolve thoroughly. I also have the perfect challenge for our loyal hound when your schooling of Thane has been completed. I'm sure that any challenging competition for Thane would enhance his learning skills to their peak." He smiles again as he sips his wine.

Thane looks at the two plotting his fate. He sighs softly and takes more of the meat and chews it some what annoyed with the situation.

Finneous glides to the fitting rooms and he talks quickly to the little helpers and within minutes several blanks of dresses are wheeled in on hanging carts. He whirls around after plucking one off the rack and holds it up to Ciel with a wild look in his eyes.
"Ah yes, That will do... Take this my sweet while we remove those for you to try on this devilish piece of sin." He says with relish and bites his lower lip as the female demonling assistants begin to remove all of Ciel's clothes. Finneous watches with great interest and a raised eyebrow as The Devil cat is in her full glory before him and Tre'Maya. "I see what the Chancellor finds so fascinating about you now my sweet." he purrs as he closes the curtain slowly before him to give her some semi-privacy to try on the dress..

As Ciel disrobes, she playfully bats the curtain back in front of her. "Now now master Finneous. Not too much flirting now..."
She tries on the cut and looks at herself , confused. It's not a two piece and it is not completely form fitting and it is not what she is used to. She opens the curtain to them and looks out, her confusion evident. "What do you think?"

As Ciel changes, the Luccubi lord stands away from the curtain over by Tre'Maya and waits for the devilcat and he nibbles at his thumb claw impatiently. When she pops out in the blank he snaps to her in an instant. "Well now... not too shabby... a drawn in here... a let out there... bring the length up here... hum... what do you think milady Tre'Maya... tighter about the waist to show of those deliciously, dangerous hips... wouldn't you say?" he says with a nod as his violet eyes dart about the dress on Ciel's curvy form.

Tre'Maya nodded. Perhaps. However, I must ask that she look like a lady. Nothing too high cut or revealing. She must reflect her class and standing, but not make her look like she is older than she is. It must be mostly modest, but still quite flattering. Do you believe that you can handle that Master Clothier?

Finneous looks to Tre'Maya and snickers to her softly, "Always the scholar aren't we my lady? Indeed it shall be as you suggest. Although we can still keep it playful while keeping the door closed to impropriety... can we not?" His violet eyes twinkle and a smirk splits his lips as he looks very playful like a naughty cat eating the canary.

Ciel watches their back and forth. She doesn't know exactly what to think about all this new clothes business...she really just wants to make Regent proud of her. And if this is the way to do so, the so be it.
She keeps still while they pore over the cut and tries not to fidget.

Tre'Maya nods. "Of course. If I were not always the scholar, how would I know when to say no?"
She walked to turn Ciel this way and that, keeping a watchful eye on the way Finneous was looking at her and smiled. "Do as you wish Master Clothier. But know this, the Chancellor will have final say as to a yes or no. I would remind you to try and keep to his good graces. It may be prudent to keep that in mind as you work."

Finneous looks to Ciel again and hands her another blank for her to try. "Please try on this one my sweet, remember to unfasten the clasps before you remove the one you are wearing..." He taps his foot as he awaits the first one to send it off for the actual creation of the garment with the material for the dress Ciel had selected earlier. He whispers again to the bell captain and he again scurries off with a flash.

Ciel took the blank and nodded, blinking. She stepped behind the curtain again and slipped out of the blank she was wearing. She made sure to unfasten everything before stepping out of it.
While she was behind the curtain she took the time to think. Would these new clothes make her into a lady in more than look? Or was look all that truly mattered? Was that all that Regent wished her to accomplish here?
She shook her head and stepped into the new blank. It fit better than the other, but was still wrong in places. She knew she should go out before the two had more to say to each other that may end in Master Thane blundering in wanting to kill the Master Clothier before the evening was out.

Thane snorts as he eats and sits uncomfortably on the edge of a foot stool. He looks to Regent and Vetli and he sighs softly.

The little captain comes back with a note pad and a quill for Finneous to take notes. The Incubus scribbles a few words and looks up to the changing room. "Are things alright in there my sweet? If you require assistance please ask. I'd love to assist you... ". He says with a sly smirk and a wink to Tre'Maya.
He scribbles again and shows his notes to the lady of the idea for a gown he just had. It is simple but very elegant in its lines and flow. "I believe this is more along the lines and cut you were thinking of, non?"

Ciel smiled nervously behind the curtain and tried to hide it in her voice, doing a fairly good job. "I shall not require assistance at this time, thank you Master Finneous..."
She hesitantly began to step out and stopped. There was something that she couldn't place...something she was feeling that wasn't making her any more comfortable...
She held back, looking at herself in the blank. What was she really doing?
