"Yay!"

So Aedyt sets them both up with conjured reference material and appropriate fabric and so forth, and she shows Zeus how to sew. (Harley already knows.)
Zeus keeps pricking his fingers and he makes impatient childish stitches, but he does not give up.

Aedyt is very encouraging! And she has plenty of coins with which to heal small ouches.
Sewing sewing sewing. Zeus accidentally sews one of his sleeves to his project.
"Thanks," says Zeus sheepishly.
His results are absolutely, unwearably terrible, but this seems okay with him, given how much magic is available to repair the problem.

Aedyt is good at fixing things!
She makes little adjustments to Zeus's costume, and soon it is much more Robin Hood.

Aedyt makes a few more little adjustments, so it will fit him properly.
"There. Perfect," she says.

Harley's Marian costume does not strongly resemble anything worn by Marian in the trailers.

"That doesn't look like the outfit she had," muses Zeus. "Are you being Marian or just somebody in period costume?" (Zeus's mother says things like "period costume".)
"Well, I was being Marian. But look how pretty I am!" he says, twirling.

"You are very pretty," says Aedyt. "I could make it more like Marian's, if you want."
"It looks fine, it's just not Marian-y right now," shrugs Zeus.
"Okay, you can make it more like Marian's," says Harley. "But only if it stays pretty!"

Aedyt edits the dress. The sleeves become slightly puffier, the hem slightly straighter, and the gold trim shifts around until it matches Marian's more closely.
"There, how's that?"
"There, how's that?"
Harley twirls.
"More Marian-y," pronounces Zeus approvingly.
"And still pretty!" says Harley. He tackle-hugs Aedyt.
Zeus giggles.
Harley giggles too.

Aedyt scoops up Harley, snuggles him, and puts him down again.
"So is that all for you two?"

"You have a lot of stuff," observes Zeus. "Can you make bow-and-arrows?"
