Get changed.

This is the first time you've stepped inside Luna's new home and shop within the walls of Castle Phoenix. It took some time for it to be finished, namely furnished and stocked with all of her supplies, but it's strikingly similar to the place she had back in Avana. You step inside along with Fang and Delphi to a dimly lit room. Moths flutter past your face and towards the opposite wall. You look around to see a fine layer of powder on some of the surfaces. While she does try to keep everything clean, it's difficult for one with wings that constantly coat themselves with dust. It's one of the reasons her business wasn't doing so well despite her exceptional skill.

"Kyle," she whispers as she approaches the counter. She lifts a spool of blue thread and toys with it between her fingers. "This is more than anyone has ever done before. I don't know if I've properly thanked you for giving me a chance here. Apologies if this is sudden, but it had to be said. I feel more accepted here than I ever felt in Avana."

"How can nobody accept you?!" Fang shouts. "You're a gorgeous bug queen, and your outfits are so cute... Oh bless you for that beach trip. Everybody's swimsuits were amazing."

She chuckles. "You're welcome."

You go to open your mouth, but Luna places a soft finger against your lips.

"You don't need to respond," she whispers. "I just needed to get that off my chest. Now hurry. You have much to do, and I've wasted enough of your time. The outfit I had in question is behind the counter. One moment."

It doesn't take her long to retrieve a folded up suit. At first, as she unfolds it, your memory flashes back--the noble ball, it feels like so long ago. Though you quickly realize it isn't the exact same suit you wore before. There are similarities. It's consists of black dress pants, a suit jacket to match, a buttoned blue vest, and a white undershirt beneath that. The sleeves and collars match your best as well, and it comes with a pair of fancy black shoes. Though, the vestments are even more regal than before, with added decorative trimming and an overall redesign. It's been a long time since you've wore something like this.

"Woah! Fancy!" Delphi comments.

"I have a replacement scabbard for you as well," Luna adds. "I admit your current one is better made, but this well hopefully help with the disguise. Remember last time? It's similar, though this time I chose to make it black. I also suggest keeping your ring stowed away."

You look down at your feet. "I love it, but what if I keep my current shoes?"

She peers down as well. "Hmm. Magic boots, right? Well, they're dark enough I suppose. I wouldn't personally wear them if I wanted a matching outfit, but I suppose nobody would recognize you for wearing them. Now sit. We're not finished yet." She takes you by the shoulders and playfully nudges you over to a nearby seat. She then spins it around for you to face a full length mirror.

"What's up?" you ask.

"Well, I'm going to do you up a bit more. Granted the trip is a few days away, but I'm going to do it slowly so you can learn to do it yourself."

Delphi raises her hand. "Don't worry. I can help. I wouldn't trust Kyle with prettying himself up alone."

"What's that supposed to mean?" you ask.

Luna smiles. "Of course. Then watch closely, because I can only do this once..."
