"Help us pick out dresses."
Ocean chuckled softly at Miri's announcement.
"Very well, Madam Flora. Please show them the dresses. I'll cover the expense."
Madam Flora bowed without hesitation. "Of course, Master."
"Th-There's no need to pay for mine," Celestia interjected quickly.
Ocean turned toward her with an easy smile. "It's fine, Miss Celestia."
She shifted slightly, visibly uncomfortable. "But-"
"Don't worry," Dahlia cut in gently, resting a reassuring hand over Celestia's shoulder and steering her toward the inner section. "This is his shop."
Dahlia led the young ladies inside while Ocean glanced at Madam Flora.
"Madam Flora," he added smoothly, "have someone prepare a few selections for Kai as well. I'll make the final choice once we're done here."
"Immediately, Master." She gestured for an attendant to hurry.
Silk curtains were drawn aside, revealing the ladies' section in full.
