Heyyyyyyyyy, you know who you've got, babe. Say what you've gotta say.

[A long pause.

Shuffling.

Cloth.

Clatter.

Another long pause.

The actual cacophony of Finch's dorm.

And if you haven't hung up YET:]

Saints! Is this still o-?

[BEEEEEEEEEP.]

[ he definitely can and she seems both shocked by that and his words ]

You think so. . .?

I know so. [He squeezes her hand lightly and lets go.]

If you want to try it on, there's the bathroom right down the way.

You. . . um. Thank you. . .

[ hesitates before gently picking it up and heading for the bathroom to change ]

[He drapes himself over a chair to wait. What's he doing in the mean time? Honestly, probably spamming NNK with sniktok videos he finds.]

[ it doesn't take her too long to change but she spends an extra moment fidgeting before coming out. And even then she hangs near the bathroom door. ]

Does. . . it look all right on me?

Oh...

Saints. That really DOES work out, doesn't it?

It. . . you made it so nicely but am I. . . am I doing it justice?

[He pushes up out of his chair and walks around her, looking for fit and areas he might have to take in...]

Hold still.

[And he reaches out to fffffiiiiiiixxxxxx................... nothing happens.]

Huh?

[ she stays still

waiting, for something to happen, ]

[WHY DOES HE ALWAYS FORGE- oh yeah he's left grisha none powers in comparison to most people her.]

I'll just get some pins, hold that there.

Oh. Um. Sorry.

[ does as he asks, not fidgeting but shifting her weight back and forth ]

It's not. . . too difficult is it?

I can pretend it is. [He comes back with a small set of pins. He gathers some of the fabric up at her side, and fixes it into place one pin at a time.]

I've got a knack for drama.

That's. . . good, right? Um, theater and all. . .

I've gotten to be an actor now and then. It's pretty fun.

Arms up a second?

In a television show or. . . movie? Wait, um, on stage?

[ slowly raises her arms ]

A brief stage show once. One time only, royalty in attendance sort of thing. Something of a killer opportunity.

[Last pin-]

There we go.

It must have been quite the performance. . .

[ she. keeps her arms up because, she does. ]

[He.

A better person would probably tell her to put it down. But he's curious now. He takes a bit of a step back.]

Oh! It was. Acrobatics, fancy costumes, and, of course, my incredible aim.

. . . your aim?

[ she's a simple girl, ]

I never miss.

Like. . . an ability to never miss? Or just talent. . .

Just a talent she says. Like it's a lesser thing.

[HOWS THE ARMS DOING THERE, BUDDY]

[ she's been working out lately okay!!! her fingers sort of air fidget though, since it has long since become kind of awkward, ]

Um. . . well. No one's really. . . talented near me, often so. . .

...

...... Does it ever get really funny to watch? I mean, it'd HAVE to at least once. Someone REAL full of themselves.

. . .

They get quite angry.
