It would not be the first time he disregarded his Father's wishes - the smaller ones, at least. It also would not be the first time that he'd left home without so much as word of leave to much of anyone, figuring that if they really needed him around, they'd send a note. It wasn't like his monster (you know, the creature he'd been training most of his life to eventually kill) would show up on their doorstep waiting for fate. His father didn't seem to mind either, what with how Killian faced little to no repercussions when he returned home.
The city of Thebes was a comforting one, and he was happy that his family owned their secondary house there. A vacation home, apparently, though Killian had found he spent more time there than the manor back in Shara. He'd found that his favorite spot was the mountains, having found himself exploring the parts closer to town. The reason for his outing was his current need of a new suit. Something more formal, he figured, since his old formal suit was in serious need of either patchwork or simply to be lit aflame. A doorbell jingled as he pushed through, patiently waiting at the counter for the tailor to arrive. ARTEMIS REINHARDT, love u.

[nospaces] Sometimes, he would disappear into one of the back rooms, alert to the noise of the bell that would ring should anyone come in. What he busied himself with ranged from fletching arrows to aimlessly drawing on paper. Today, he was stitching up the ear of a toy. It wasn't long before he found himself dozing with his head lolled, into some dreamless sleep that he was, to be completely honest, grateful for. [break][break] Some dreams were better off not remembering. [break][break] Jingling woke him, but it took him a moment to register what it was that had pulled him out of desperately craved sleep. His eyes fell to the rabbit toy, sighing as he gazed upon its surprisingly worn face. Then, stood up, sewing kit coming up with him as he set the toy and the kit on the table, heading out to the main room - the bell was the most likely thing to have woken him. [break][break] And it seemed that it was a good idea that he went out there. A customer stood waiting at the counter and - his cat was walking towards them across the counter, stretching across it before coming up purring to the man. Artemis groaned as he quickened his pace, picking up the tabby and white feline and turning it back around, where it walked back to its 'nest'. Artemis fixed a smile on his face. "Apologies. He seems to think everyone is here to see him rather than for tailoring." He continued without a pause, though his eyes did flicker to a roll of fabric that had decided to fall to the side, "Now what is it I can do for a handsome man such as yourself~?"[break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

He'd watched as the tabby jumped to the counter, a faint grin finding its way to his face as it came closer, and he was about to reach out a hand to meet the feline before it was picked up and turned away. His eyes flicked up, grin forming into that of a large smile as he straightened, pulled his black coat tighter, and cleared his throat a little.
He would not admit that he was slightly nervous.
Eyebrows lifting in amusement, he felt himself chuckle a little as his attention dropped to the counter top, biting on his lower lip for a moment before going back to the tailor. "Actually, I am here to visit the cat." Fixing the other with a grin, he shook his head. "I'm afraid I'm in need of a new suit, sir."
"I need something for more formal apparel, feel free to take creative liberties with it." He figured that there'd need to be measurements taken, probably the worst part of getting a suit in his opinion. "I can pay you now or when it's ready to be picked up, whichever you prefer."

[nospaces] When the man mentioned that he was actually here to see the cat, there was a moment of bewilderment that flashed across his face as he looked over at the tabby kneading its blankets. Confused, and almost a little insulted, the other man shaking his head jolted Artemis's gaze back to him. Right. Business. That's what this man came here for. Not for the cat. [break][break] He felt slightly better now. [break][break] "I prefer to be paid when I'm done," he grinned, lightly drumming his fingers on the counter between them. "Though it may be that your suit will require more than just money in payment." There was a momentary pause as he let his words sink in. Then, without giving the brunet a chance to speak again, he busied himself with finding a notebook and a pen to write with, speaking as he did so. "I'm going to need your name aaand to take your measurements~" Where had that notebook gone? [break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

There was a brief moment in which Killian wasn't sure if his joke was taken as a joke or not. He hoped so, because he didn't want to come off as rude - just making a joke about the cat and company. It seemed as though Artemis caught on, though, and as if to prove a point Killian fixed him with a bright grin.
"Payment any time works." In all honesty, he brought the money along with him just in case the tailor preferred it up-front. "Killian Reyes, ready for measurements whenever~" He paused for a moment, small frown as though he was debating something of value.
"I'm afraid I don't have much more than money to offer you, sir."

[nospaces] There it was. He grabbed the notebook and had flipped it open to the details of his last customer just in time to hear the name of his current customer. Grabbing the pen that had laid beside it, he quickly scrawled the man's name on the next page and noted that he needed new formal attire. He then looked up, grinning at the other. "It wouldn't be anything material," the mischievous grin on his face was accompanied by a wink as he slid the pen between the pages, using it as a temporary bookmark as he shut the book and slid out from behind the counter, grabbing a tape measure as he did so. [break][break] He moved around the man, gesturing for him to step towards him in the open space. "I need you to stand up straight while I take your measurements."[break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

A frown crosses his face as Artemis implies that whatever it is that he will be paying the redhead, it's apparently not material. He can't for the life of him think of what, exactly, he could give this man that he'd even begin to want - though his mind immediately stops at fame, championship is fame. The grin and wink don't do much to help his mind from bouncing around possibilities.
"I suppose I get to know after you're done, then?" Naturally, he expected this man to be rather stubborn in that sense. It seemed like a plausible conclusion.
He did as told, stepping forward into the space allotted and making sure to hold himself straighter. A frown on his face, as he is reminded of not-too fond memories of his childhood. More annoying than anything. He can't help hoping that Artemis would make fast work of it.

[nospaces] Killian's frowns of confusion and even naivety were very amusing to the red-head, who found himself unable to stop grinning. He did have to wonder what was going through the brunet's head, but he couldn't just ask, since that would be seen as strange. It was about this time that he wished he could read people's minds, just to know what they were thinking. He wouldn't say no to being able to dig deeper and find out information that could be useful. [break][break] "Of course~" Artemis stretched out the roll of measuring tape, waiting for the other man to stand where he was told to. Then, he stepped closer, throwing the tape measure over Killian's head to take a measurement of the base of his neck, slotting his index finger between the tape and Killian's neck. "Does that feel comfortable?" He asked, glancing from the tape to the man's face. [break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

Watching as Artemis stretched out the measuring tape, Killian had a brief moment where he remembered how much he despised getting fitted. Measured. He had to stand still, usually for a longer period of time than he was certain was legally allowed, and typically he got yelled at for so much as wiggling.
He wasn't sure if he was going to push Artemis or not, though it was a temptation as he felt the measuring tape come around his neck.
"A little tight." He stretched his neck a little, swallowing uncomfortably as he shot Artemis a grin. "Am I allowed a hint to what I'm going to be paying you with?"

[nospaces] A brief frown flickered across Artemis's face as he was told that the tape measure was too tight. But, perhaps Killian was more used to wearing looser fitted clothes. More comfortable. So, Artemis loosened the tape measure slightly, glancing back at the brunet's face with his head tipped to one side. "Better?" He glanced back down to the tape, taking a mental note of the current measurement. [break][break] "Well, it rhymes with honey." Artemis wasn't going to give in easily and tell Killian what else he wanted from him in payment. [break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

A little looser, where it didn't matter as much at least. "Much." That, and he liked to breathe when he was wearing his suits - and it wasn't going to be happening easily if he felt like he was being choked.
Small frown returning to his face, he found that he was stumped. "Money is material, though." Then, obviously, it wasn't money, but he couldn't tell what it would have been otherwise.
"Can I have a better hint?" Frown turning more into a pout, he waited for Artemis to pull the measuring tape away before shifting his weight around on his heels.

[nospaces] Artemis made a quiet nose as he nodded, checking the measurement again before he dropped it to drape around Killian's shoulders while he opened the book again to note down the neck measurement. Once he was done, he shut it again and held it between his knees as he worked the tape measure to be around Killian's chest. "Well done, the answer was money." He grinned, looking back at Killian's face as he worked to get the correct area of the chest. [break][break] "Depends on if you're good," he said, sticking his tongue out at the brunet as he once again slid a finger between the tape measure and Killian's chest. "I take it you'll want this a bit looser as well?" He asked, keeping the tape at what it was first rather than loosening it, just in case this fitting was fine. [break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

His pout seemed to expand. Of course Artemis wanted money, but that was a given, wasn't it? Doing a job without getting paid wasn't fair, and Killian wasn't about to rob Artemis of his services. "What about the other thing?" The other payment, since apparently Artemis didn't want just money.
"No, it's fine here." Artemis seemed to confuse him more. Why put the notebook between your legs if there was a perfectly good desk right next to you? "You gave me a bad hint, though." It wasn't his fault that Artemis has poor guess judgment.

[nospaces] Killian's pout was absolutely ridiculous - but kind of adorable, as well. It only served to widen Artemis's grin as he worked. "What about it~?" He was going to be as difficult as he could. And, when Artemis wanted to be difficult, he was difficult. He was pretty sure it was annoying too, but he didn't really care. It was fun seeing people getting riled up and annoyed. [break][break] Far too many times had Artemis put his notebook on his desk and ended up dropping it or the pen on the floor and have to pick it up. He had quickly resorted to putting it between his legs or hold it with his upper arm against the side of his chest. Though, putting it between his knees was a pain. The pen kind of dug in to them. [break][break] "It was a perfectly legitimate hint." He checked the measurement of Killian's chest, then loosened it and held it up a little. "Hold," he said, waiting for Killian to take the measuring tape so that it didn't slip to the floor, before he grabbed his book again and scrawled in some numbers. [break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

"Since I already know you're getting money for this, then why waste your hint on that?" To be honest, he'd be surprised if Artemis didn't have some witty response, but he found the snark some what entertaining. It wasn't how most shopkeepers handled their clientele, and if he had a choice, he'd probably pick the entertaining snark over some quiet tailor who chose to just stick him with pins and needles. "I can also hold your notebook and pen for you, if you want."
It did look rather painful, having to hold both items as they dug into his knees, and Killian felt sorry for them.
"Hardly." A scoff as Artemis seemed to have the measurement settled in his head. He took the tape, letting his arms fall back to his sides. "Yes, sir."
