>>Aida shows up, orders a custom pink leather jacket, and wrangles Halley out the door after putting down half the cost as a deposit. <<
LOL yes.
>> "By the way, when Halley comes back to visit, ma'am, suggest Heron come wrangle thon home. His girlfriend had a baby and her old leathers don't fit right anymore."<<
Good idea. Mallory would be thrilled to get green-and-orange leathers to fit her current body. She could probably barter for them with computer help -- I doubt Auntie Jo is anywhere near that good with computers.
>> Halley just grins smugly. "Just wait until Turi sees your jacket!"
Aida rolls her eyes. "Yes, yes, but designing for Turi is painful for anyone with actual sartorial style."
Halley shrugs. "His money's good."<<
:D
There are reasons why Turi is friends with some of the high-end fashion designers who love loud, fast combinations of color and pattern. I still want to write Turi introducing Halley to some of those friends, because thon loves the colors that most people consider "ugly" and said designers also love.
Of course, when the Pantone colors come out huath and uisgdha a few months later, everyone will want to strangle them, but most people won't know who gave Dolce & Gabbana the idea of doing an Irish line.
To say nothing of Auntie Jo and Halley making Boss Blaster a set of krevel driving leathers that are fireproof, skidproof, crushproof, and just about everything else-proof.
