"Aye, good afternoon it is."<br/><br/>Lazily, Darius draped an arm around Gwen's hip, staring down a passerby until he dropped his eyes. There was something to be said about possession, and it was very clearly stated with whom his consort belonged at that point. Pulling aside the heavy leather flap meant to close off the worker's space, Darius gestured the elder woman inside, and gave Gwen a gentle nudge to the lower back. "Simple silvered tooling should do nicely, unless the lady should prefer otherwise. I am not one for the gaudy coloring of my consort. She's a woman, not a peacock." That and as far as he was concerned, there was no need to show off obvious assets.<br/><br/>Inside the the decent sized building, various skins and furs hung all in various states of drying and curing. Everything from the supple leather that the elk provided lower in the valley to the furs of some local wolves could be seen.<br/><br/>"She's going to need several sets as far as I'm concerned. The leather types I leave up to you, but the fur is hers to decide. Each of us have a preferred feel for the softness against the skin and the degree of warmth we require." Covertly, his hand had snuck down into the folds of the gown, and he'd begun rubbing at the cheek of her ass. Whether it was encouragement or enticement was anyone's guess. Granted there was a thin layer of silk between his fingers and her skin, but there would be little insulation against the heat of his hand. "Pockets will be needed as well, if I am not mistaken, Consort?"<br/><br/>The collar would be discussed after the fitting and measurements were taken care of, and he'd had time to peruse the various weavings of the cords for a suitable pattern that pleased him. Her alabaster skin would do well with black leather, and the contrast would be striking. Paiently, he waited for a response from Gwen, as the next step would be to take her into one of the smaller private rooms so that the elder woman could strip her down and take bare-skin measurements so things fit correctly to her and her alone.
