[There's a slightly disgruntled face on the video feed, mouth forming a full-on pout as she waits impatiently for it to indicate its recording.]

Ah, there! Need, ehh... [She trails off and scrunches her nose, trying to think of the right word. Dammit, she heard it all the time--] Moon--Chroma! Moonlace! For Chroma! [She looks momentarily pleased at having gotten it right before going right back to scowling]

So stupid! Clothes, clothes, clothes! Yell at me all the time to wear, but never give! Got seven things, but have worn them all. Need more!

[Her tank top seems slightly rumbled from being worn most of the day, but otherwise okay. The real question is, what happened to the seven other pairs of clothes she'd worn before?]

So stupid! You humans and your clothing, what is point? [She stamps her foot for added emphasis for her annoyance and then immediately cringes like the motion caused her pain and she takes a seat instead.]

Need chroma, soon. Can kiss or hold hands or [She flaps her hand dismissively] Whatever! Need seven more clothes, at least.

[ Shang Yu would normally argue that but he gets the feeling it would be wasted words here, instead focusing on something he can explain.]

Wash. You don't wear new clothes when the ones you have get dirty. You get someone to wash them for you so they're clean and you can wear them again.

[mermaiding]

[Oh, she likes the part where someone other than her does it. She furrows her brow and taps at her bottom lip in thought]

Hmm. Ah, see, see. Who takes them to wash? [Like is this a specific service or does she dump her clothes somewhere and hope for the best??]

[zooming]

[ Good question Oona! It's not like this one has expertise in it all; he had staff to run around after him.]

Uh. I think you take them to someone who offers their services. Someone on this thing will know.

[mermaiding]

[She taps her bottom lip thoughtfully.] Hmm... Shang Yu! Who does the washing of your clothes? Will just use them too!

[zooming]

Not me. Someone else does it but I don't think they would want to do any other laundry.

There are probably places near the "mall" that offer laundry things. I think.

[mermaiding]

[She makes a huffy little whine noise, like come ooonn.]

Sounding more and more easier to just buy clothes. Have to be people willing to buy for me...

[EYES...SHANG YU....]

[zooming]

You don't like the clothes you have? I don't think you need to keep buying new ones.

[ That hint? Goes right over his head.]

[mermaiding]

Do not like clothes at all, but have to wear.

[She huffs.] None feel right, is so... [She doesn't know the word to use and looks frustrated before shaking her head.] Ahh, just do not like!

Want to find clothes as pretty as yours or the others.

[zooming]

Mine? Others?

[ Shang Yu glances at his robes, somewhat surprised. He likes his robes but he'd be a liar if he said Dali's weren't better.]

A tailor could probably make you something to order, if they have them here.
