It was a chilly spring morning just the sort of day that made Ayame Sohma glad to be working indoors in his most wonderful and beautiful shop. Doing what he loved best; catering to the whims of manly romance. He was just finishing a particularly intricate design for a customer involving hand tatted lace of all things when the phone rang. Pushing his long silver hair from his ear with a practiced flick he answered it.

"Hello, you have reached Ayame; this is the incredibly talented and charming owner Ayame Sohma speaking. What can I do to make your romantic dreams come true today? Yes uhmmhumm. A gown, alright I am sure I can do that. Like a samurai? And what sizes do you need them? Oh well how about from clothing they have that fits them? School uniform, yes as a matter of fact I can do that. Just give me the name of the manufacturer along with their sizes…. Oh you'd be surprised how many of those I get orders for. Exactly so. Very good then I will draw up a few rough sketches and we can meet. How does Wednesday at 5 sound? We'll go over the sketches and talk price then, but I'll warn you now, my work doesn't come cheap. Not a problem, we can discuss any future orders then too. I look forward to it. Ciao.

Hey, Mine, could you be a dear and pencil in one Matsuri Honjou for a consult on

Wednesday at five for me?"

"Sure thing boss,"

"Thank you so much. What would I do without you?"

AN: Well where did you think he got those costumes?
