One usually wears a formal gown if they are a female and a tuxedo if they are a male. I do not think there shall be a strict dress code for this wedding, but if you wish, I could attempt to help you make a dress.

[Even though chaos didn't have much experience with making fancy dresses.]

The only item I have that could qualify for a formal gown are my tunics, but those are plain.

I would not mind your help on making me a dress, if you do not mind.

That is alright. They do not have to be too fancy, but I do not mind lending you my assistance. After all, we all need a little help sometimes.

I enjoyed your assistance when we swam in the pool together, so I would not mind it again.

...even if I am asking a lot for your help lately.

I am glad to hear that..and there is nothing wrong with asking for my help. I do not mind it or think of it as a lot.

Well, if you insist, there is nothing I can say to dissuade you, is there?

If you said that you did not want my help, then I would not give you it. I shall not prod or force you to accepting my help.

Silly... Of course I do.

Let us avoid this topic by working. Surely there are materials on the fifteenth floor.

I am happy to hear that. I do not have much experience, but if you wish to start working, I shall wait for you on the fifteenth floor. There should be some cloth there.

[And after sending this message, chaos would head to the fifteenth floor and look over the various pieces of cloth, all while waiting for Sertoria.]

Very well, I will meet you there.

[ It's hard to get some form of peace with her lovely retrieval unit following behind her wherever she goes, but Sertoria deals with the unit as calmly as possible.

She arrives soon to the fifteenth floor and opens the door, walking in to wave at chaos. ]

Hello, chaos. Are you well?

[While chaos didn't quite expect the retrieval unit to follow her to the fifteenth floor, chaos just kept on smiling as they both arrived, and he returned the wave as he spoke.]

I am fine. How about you, Sertoria? And where did you meet your friend?

[ Cautiously, Sertoria passes a glance to her retrieval unit and sighs slightly, rubbing at the back of her neck where her two collars were. ]

Well as one can be, I suppose. And, oh - he or she is what happened when I assisted the residents with hacking the terminals. The administrators were not very happy with us after it.

As well as one can be can mean quite a few things for the person involved..but I am sorry to hear that the Administrators punished you for that. Are you alright now?

It is fine. I am used to suffering in some way for my rebellion. After all...

[ She can only pause as she reflects back to the words her creators gave her:

"As long as you keep rebelling, you piece of trash, you'll never amount to anything! One day, you'll see that we were right and come sniveling back to the one place that's been a home to you!"

Her hands grip in to a fist before she relaxes herself. That was in the past. She had to focus on the here and now. ]

After all, nothing was won without some form of suffering, right?

[ She quickly smiles, trying to lessen chaos' worries, if any. ]

But, yes - I am alright. There are more important tasks to attend to.

[Inwardly, chaos sighed and tried to pat Sertoria on the shoulder.]

It is true that one has to suffer sometimes to succeed. However, when one does, it is usually best to seek out some form of healing later on, or one shall just keep on hurting as they struggle forward. But if you do not wish to speak of it, I shall not mind working with you now..though I think your personal health goes above a few formal clothes.

Are you getting married?

Negative, I am attending a wedding.

[ chaos' hand on her shoulder was a welcomed gesture. Sertoria raised her hand up and rested it on his hand, smiling thinly. ]

I will try to heal. I am sorry, I normally do not burden others with my problems. So, if I seem like I am whining, then I will stop and deal with it as I have dealt with my problems in the past.

[ Although, her way of dealing with her problems was to ignore them until they festered. She really had to fix that sort of thinking. ]

Who is getting married?

Shiro doesn't know... Shiro has never attended a wedding before either.

A couple of friends of mine.

It is okay, Shiro. I will figure this out soon enough.

Why does Sertoria have to attend?

This is good to hear! It is bad if the Tower is only sad and angry!

[chaos, of course, didn't mind the fact that Sertoria rested her hand on his. If it helped calm her, he didn't mind, and the contact was always nice for him as well.]

It is alright, Sertoria. Did I not say that we all need a little help sometimes? It is no burden to me if I can help a good friend. I shall not force you to speak, but if you wish, my ears are open.
