Aaaah, so kind! Obviously a tailor has to know style when he sees it and so far Ibuki is not disappointed.

[She's not exactly immune to the desire to preen herself and she loves praise. Which is probably partly why she almost trips over the tail that doesn't follow them to the desk, along with her just plain not being used to thinking that she needs to watch out for a tail.

And okay. It takes her a moment of looking between the book and him to get it but she does figure out the deal with that snakeskin cover. Resourceful, and it casts a new light on everything else she's seen around here. Which keeps her distracted until he mentions the test and she snaps to attention.]

Weeeeeeeeeell, Ibuki doesn't plan ahead all that often. But Ibuki's made paper patterns before so lay it on me!

[Of course Ibuki would only use as many steps as absolutely necessary for something like this.]
