Nina stood outside A Stitch In Time for a moment, considering and hugging a folder to her chest. Then she pushed the door open, glancing back at the bell as she passed through. It wasn't the first shop she'd walked into that had one, but she rather liked the sound of that one.

She hesitated just inside the door. She'd never quite done anything like this before, not for herself, and she wasn't entirely sure how to go about it other than by what she could guess from past clients or Kaz Brekker.

And she didn't often ask Kaz Brekker for advice on anything. But at least he had given her the name of his tailor.

The day saw her in a dress to suit the weather, though she had started carrying around a shawl with her at all times, just in case.

"Oh, of course. You could keep them indefinitely, if you'd like. Though I might be a bit mean and say I'd rather you not use the design for anyone else... it's very special to me. To where I come from."

Nina wasn't sure what she'd do if she saw anyone wearing something that looked like a kefta. Get her hopes up, for one. Suffer disappointment, for another. And probably get a bit petty.

"I'd hate to accidentally recreate it because I have the sketch around," he said with a smile and a shake of his head. "Better to hand over all original ideas to their creator so their out of my hands once the drafting is done."

He grabbed his scheduling book and jotted a few notes, then looked up at Nina. "I'll see you next Friday, around four o'clock? I should have the drafting done, so we can do the first fitting. It won't be to color, but it ought to be to weight. You'll have an idea of how it feels, more or less."

"Perfect. Thank you, my dear. I can't wait to see the next step."

Nina smiled, pleased and excited and-- and just happy that she might ave something of her own that reminded her of home. "Do you need my contact information or anything?"

"Oh, yes, just on the back here," Krem said with a soft lift. He grabbed one of his business cards and flipped it over, where there were a few blank lines, specifically for this reason--either to receive his information, or a client's. He handed Nina a pen with a smile.

Nina carefully wrote her name and her phone number for him, her handwriting the precise hand of someone accustomed to sending reports that must be read.

"Excellent," she said as she stood up straight again, her green eyes bright with expectation. "I can't wait to see what we can make together, Cremisius."
