[nospaces] Artemis took his time with a response, not looking at the brunet's face as he continued working. Then, he looked at him, eyes meeting his and another grin on his face. "It wasn't a waste to me, peppermint." The nickname was something he honestly came up just then, but it was good enough - peppermint fit with Killian's eye colour. [break][break] "No thanks~" Or rather, not yet. If he got tired of keeping the notebook between his knees, or wherever he was holding it, he probably would end up giving it to Killian. Artemis shut the notebook and deciding against holding it between his knees, he put it between his thighs. Then, he took the measuring tape from Killian again, moving it down to his stomach to measure around it. "So, is there any special event that required you to get a new suit~?"[break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

The nickname definitely caught him off guard, Killian's mind skidding to a halt as he could have almost heard a record player in the distance scratch. Or maybe not the latter. "Peppermint?" It definitely was the first time he'd heard that one. Killian made sure he stood up a little straighter as the measuring tape came around his stomach, frowning a little with distaste at the question. "I need it for a fancy dinner. My father is inviting some important people over, and he wants me to come over and make an impression." Of which, it was probably obvious that he wasn't a fan. Killian found that he wasn't happy with being dressed up and thrown at people. "Figured I should have something that fits properly for the occasion."ARTEMIS REINHARDT.

[nospaces] Killian's incredulous tone of voice received a huff in response as Artemis paused in his measuring, a brief pout on his lips. "It was the best I could think of in such a short time, okay?" It wasn't his fault. [break][break] Was he sucking his stomach in? He wasn't, and that was good. Artemis found himself briefly keeping the tape tight around the brunet's stomach, and quickly loosened it once he realised, trying to find an appropriate measurement while listening to Killian talk. "Sounds fun." Not really, but Artemis wasn't much for sit-down meals. "The other suit too big or too small?" It was just curiousity, really. He glanced back at Killian's face. "Do you want this looser?"[break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

"It's better than some I've heard." He gave Artemis credit, giving him a quick grin in the process. While he was supposed to be staying still, enough so as not to disturb Artemis and his measuring business, he can't help the short laugh that escapes at his sarcasm. He quickly regains posture, though the smile stays pinned on his face. "About as fun as being trampled by a horse." Actually, he thinks he'd rather that. Pressing his lips together, he has to think about the last time he even bothered to wear the suit. "Getting to be too small." He raised an eyebrow as if asking how necessary the question itself was. "No, it's perfect."ARTEMIS REINHARDT

[nospaces] Raising an eyebrow at Killian's comment, Artemis paused a moment but made himself start working again. He could ask what sort of nicknames Killian had been given later, not now. While measuring, Artemis heard a short laugh, and a grin of his own makes its way onto his face. "But is getting trampled more desirable?" He would presume it would be. Killian didn't seem to enjoy sit down meals at all. [break][break] At Killian's approval of the tape, he shoved the ends of the tape at the brunet's hand, saying a quick, "Hold." Once Killian had the ends, Artemis took the book again and wrote down the measurement, returned it to its place between his knees then took the measuring tape back to start measuring around his waist, putting it around the waistband of Killian's trousers, presuming that these were the height that they were normally worn at. Besides, why wear them at any other height? After making sure the tape was snug around the waistband, Artemis slipped a finger between it and the material of the trousers. Perfect. He repeated the motion of making Killian hold the tape, again saying the word, "Hold," as he wrote the measurement down. [break][break] "When do you want this new suit done by, anyway?"[break][break] ( KILLIAN REYES )

Killian was quiet for a moment as he thought on what Artemis said, small grin crossing his face when he decided on what to say. "Definitely. I'm not a fan of the whole political dinner thing." It was annoying, if anything, and he could think of about a thousand things he'd rather be doing. For example, getting a new suit made by the tailor seemed to sit at the upper spectrum of the list, because he was honestly having fun. Doing as he was told, he held on to the tape as Artemis wrote down measurements. They seemed to fall into something of a lull in which Artemis would find a new place to measure, shove the measuring tape at Killian's chest, and then continue with keeping a record of what sizes he'd need. As he watched Artemis work, it occurred to him that he knew nothing about making clothing. Really, there wasn't much else to do with someone wrapping a measuring tape around your chest than to apparently let the mind wander into places it didn't typically go. It just looked more complicated that he'd expected. "I'd rather it be done after the dinner, but I think my father would prefer within a week, if possible. Week and a half if you need it." He flashed Artemis a smile, pausing for a moment. "Do you do deliveries?" Or, if Artemis wanted to read into it, Killian was basically asking if Artemis wanted to come back to his house.

If he wasn't careful, he was going to start humming while he worked. Artemis kept pen to paper as he waited for an answer to his question, glancing back to the brunet's face. "What, do you want it to take ages so that you can skip the dinner because you don't have a suit?" Artemis grinned, but made a note to complete the suit within the next week. "I don't think I'll need the extra couple of days." Some might call him a workaholic, but what else could he do when sleep wouldn't come? Do his job. That is, if he wasn't off for his other line of work. "I can do. I will need to make sure the suit fits anyway." It was a peeve of his when something fit completely wrong, especially if it was something that he himself had made.

A smirk managed to cross Killian's features as he felt himself rock slightly on his heels, becoming restless with standing still for as long as he was. "I was hoping so, because I'd much rather spend the night doing something I actually enjoy doing." Because if he managed to miss the dinner, it wouldn't be the end of the world. To him, at least. Killian nodded a little, chewing on his lower lip as he watched Artemis work. "Then I guess within the week is alright." Though he definitely would have preferred with the whole being late thing, he found that he was looking forward more toward Artemis coming over once more before. "Good. I'll give you directions before I leave, then."The restless feeling came back again, and he found himself rocking slightly on the balls of his feet. "Do you like being a tailor?"

Artemis found himself pushing lightly on Killian's chest with his hand at his rocking back and forth, an attempt to make him lose his balance and stumble. Another grin. "Well, I would consider saving you by making your suit be late, but it's bad for business if someone finds out that I was late on tailoring." Though, really, Artemis didn't particularly need this shop. Taking the tape back from Killian after slotting the notebook between his thighs again, Artemis slid the tape down to find the fullest part of the brunet's hips. After checking to make sure there was nothing in his pockets, of course. It was his now. Not really. He didn't steal on the tailoring job."I'll just need the address. I know Thebes like the back of my hand." Artemis paused at the question, frowning a little down at the tape. "It can be dull." It was dull, but it was a good front when you were a thief.

Artemis did, in fact, make him stumble backwards. Luckily for Killian, all it took was a simple step backwards to catch himself, before he continued with rolling on his heels, leaning forward into Artemis's personal space before leaning back again. "In fairness, no one else has to know. I could take the blame, say I ordered it late so it was my fault, and then you could just drop it off late."When the measuring tape came around his hips, Killian stopped moving around. Well, actually, he pushed his hips out a little at Artemis. "I can give it to you once we're done here." After Artemis had all of the measurements he needed, he'd happily give his address to Artemis. "Probably does get to be when you're taking measurements and sewing fabric together." A pause, as he thought more on what he was going to say. "Probably meet some pretty colorful people, though."

Personal space for Artemis didn't exactly exist, whether for himself or for other people. He enjoyed being close to people. So, Killian leaning closer to him before back again was something that Artemis let go by, unphased by the motion. "And would you say that you also forgot to say that it had to be done quickly because it was an emergency?" Artemis raised an eyebrow, but there was still a smile on his lips. A smile that was replaced with a curious expression when Killian pushed his hips out towards him. Was it a message of interest? Maybe he should stop thinking like that. "Or you can write it down in my notebook." He was holding it after all. "And your measurement." Artemis pulled the tape from around Killian's hips, showing him the number it came to before he moved around the brunet's body to measure across his shoulders. "It's not that bad. I can get creative with what I design, moreso for women than men." And for himself, but that was not quite for formal occasions. "Definitely. And some I have to force myself not to stab with needles."

"Anything to keep your reputation intact." His grin seemed to grow, though the fact that what he did could have been interpreted as a sign of interest seemed to float over his head. Maybe if his intention had been to express interest from the beginning, he'd have noticed the curious look, but he was only intending to come off as playful. He'd laughed a little as he took the notebook, leaving a generous amount of space for more measurements as he quickly jotted down his address. "Done, and..." Scribbling the measurement in place, he held the notebook out to Artemis. "Done." He made sure to hold his shoulders straight as Artemis got the measurements for that as well. "And if I told you that you're free to have creative freedom with the suit you make me?" Formal, that was where the limitations began and ended. "You aren't going to stab me with needles, are you?"

"I'll have to find an assassin for you if you give me a bad rep." You mean your dad right oh wait he's dead. Artemis's serious expression only held for a moment before he found himself grinning and laughing with it. He really doubted that Killian would start spreading bad rumours about his tailoring - then again, people were never what they seemed. Taking a moment to grab the notebook from the brunet and hold it between his thighs again, Artemis continued finding the correct measurement for Killian's shoulders. "I'd make it bright neon green and instead of a tie you'll have a snake draped around your neck." Artemis's grin couldn't get any wider, and he let out a small laugh. "I'll try not to, but make sure you don't make me angry."

A pout crossed Killian's face as he fought the urge to cross his arms over his chest. "You'd really hire someone to have me killed?" How rude, and to think that he was allowing this murderer to do him a suit. How outrageous. He was kidding, of course. There was a moment where he thought that the suit that Artemis was describing wouldn't look terrible. He could see himself in it, especially for the event that he was planning on wearing it to. Scratch the snake, maybe. Maybe. "I think that it would bring across my message perfectly, though." The smirk that was present from earlier came back, accompanied with another laugh. "I'll try to keep that in mind, then.""Some tips on how I could stay on your good side, maybe?"

Would he really hire an assassin? No. But that was only because he could quite easily do the job himself. "Tortured first, then killed." But not really. Unless Killian was really someone that needed to be killed. If he was, Artemis would skip the torture and go straight for the killing, then take the organs and throw it to one of his monster contacts that liked organs. He was all for giving presents. "You realise that would look absolutely disgusting?" Then again, Artemis had a preference towards darker colours. Anything bright would be in moderation. "Tips?" Thinking for a moment as he draped the tape over Killian's shoulders and started writing in the notebook again, Artemis found himself frowning. "Mmmmm," he dragged on a hum as he kept the notebook in hand while he began measuring from Killian's shoulder to where the jacket would end. "Food. Preferably sweet, but I'll eat anything." That was the key to Artemis's heart.
