Interesting lives die the same as boring ones.

( her bit of cynicism comes as she’s inspecting the seam of the skirt. her fingers curl into either side of it as she considers it. the glint in her eyes doesn’t bode well for the garment. one of the staff members, jaded veteran that they are, seems to notice this and begins to rush over; several racks sit between them and their target, though, as they come from across the store.

unfortunately, this means there’s nothing stopping guideau from ripping the skirt apart, here, tearing it open from waist to leg. you know. for maneuvering )

Way less fabric! ( if that wasn’t obvious. rip— literally— to all these ruffles. (the poor worker briefly stops dead in their tracks, looking like they want to die.) guideau huffs in irritation, but at least she can stretch, now. ) And earrings.

( this is clearly meant to be wrio’s cue to do something about it, from her perspective. the pointed look she gives him makes it obvious. the fact that her eviction from the store is imminent doesn’t appear to factor into her expectations. )

It might not matter when a person has died, but while they are alive, there is brilliance in living. [Her cynicism is met with Wriothesley's optimism. It isn't that he isn't a realist. People will die and those that lived pitiful, sad lives will die just the same as those who lived a rich, comfortable life. But he doesn't care to linger on the dead, instead, focusing on those that are still alive. People who still had lives to live out.

Ah, but you know what's dead? That dress. Wriothesley can only watch as she tears the dress apart in the store. He guesses the way she talks has been enough indication that her familiarity (or care) for social norms merely doesn't exist. A glance at any of the workers and seeing their expression is enough for him to know that this is probably going to be Guideau's first and last time in this store.]

Right... [He'll...step away to grab her a pair of earrings. In that period of time, he'll bow his head at the worker, who looks like they're about to faint, and quickly pay for the ruined dress and earrings he had plucked off display. The quicker he can usher her out of the store the better. Probably.

He comes back and places the earrings in her hand.] Here.
