After a relaxing stroll in the garden, they moved to the nearby clothing district. The boutique they entered was elegant and clearly served nobles.
Elara immediately began picking dresses—pink, white, blue, frilled, ribboned, lace-trimmed, simple, extravagant… She tried them all.
"Brother James! How is this one?" She moved cutely around with a pink dress.
"It's cute."
"And this one?"
"Still cute."
"And THIS one?"
"Elara, my little princess… Everything looks cute on you." James pinched her cheek with a smile.
She smiled proudly before grabbing Ignis' hand. "Big Sister Ignis! Try this one!"
The dress she held up was crimson with golden embroidery, clearly matching Ignis' fiery aura.
Ignis blinked, slightly hesitant. "This… is a bit flashy."
"It fits you!" Elara insisted.
Ignis eventually sighed and entered the changing room. When she stepped out, James actually paused.
