Time to spruce up the Nexus - with Fashion!
It feels as if a bazaar is going up in the Plaza today, what with the way a sharply dressed man is toting about tables, bins, and bags stuffed with fabrics, trims, buttons, and other necessities for his trade. It's a one-man-bazaar, but the man doesn't seem at all concerned with what any passersby think of him. There's too many fabrics to put on display and barely enough time to think of the trims!
He 'hmm's and 'no no no's often as he arranges all of his things across the tables he's brought, his head tilting to and fro as he debates the best way to show off his supplies. Once he's satisfied with the table situation, he pulls out a few dress forms from a bin and sets them up with a few examples of his work. These properly arranged and his vanity appeased by the general feel of the entire display, Alex smiles proudly at the setup before turning around and gesturing to the Plaza with arms held high and wide.
"Nexus visitors and residents! Winter's been a dreary time for all of us. Too much gray, cold, and hardship. What do you say to a little something to brighten your outlook? Spring is a time of colors and casting out the old for the new." His smile melts seamlessly into a bright, giddy grin. "How about a new look to ease the transition? I promise my best work to help you along."
The Tailor, dear Nexus, is ready and waiting for your patronage.

That reaction to his creation is everything. When Marie turns to him, Alex is positively beaming with pride. If having spent all this time waiting to get his friend into a modern design means he can have more moments like this with his newest client? The tailor will take it a thousand times over.
"If you want something, then you may certainly have it." He grins right back at her. "This will mean I need your number, though, and you mine, because you walking in at your leisure simply won't do when I could have someone else in the shop." Turning back to his sketchbook, he writes his name and number on a corner of one of the lesser used pages and tears it out. As he hands it to Marie, he adds, "Send me a message whenever you'd like something new made. If you have any requests for fabrics or colors, let me know and I'll create with that in mind."
Once he's sure his information is safe with his new partner in (fashion) crime, he offers Marie his hand for a final shake - and to seal the deal on their future endeavors.
"Come and see me whenever you'd like, Marie Aldaine, and I promise you'll never leave with anything less than perfect."
