"I'm good with a needle, hun. I can do custom jobs pretty quick, and it sounds like you could really use one. Shoulders is just the start, I can't just make a man's outfit... Hmm, about the waist... But if I... Ah, why don't you come to the back room so I can properly measure you? Are you done growing or have you got some left to go?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't been around my own species enough to get a feel for how tall I should be or when I should stop growing. What would you charge for something like this?"

"Well, you look mostly grown-up. I'll make it with some give in case you grow a bit. Hm, hm, hmm... For this custom job? Oh, cost of materials plus ten rupees for each hour I spend working on it - or four hundred flat for a full outfit from head to toe if you'd rather a pre-set price."

"Four hundred is fine. How long do you expect it to take and do you want anything up front in case I vanish before you're done?"

"Half up front, half when done for custom jobs, yes, yes. I think I can have it ready tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to leave all the details to me, do you see anything out there you like the look of? If you want something particularly elaborate or with special fabric I might have to up the price and the time."

"I'm not familiar enough with local fashion to do better than asking for whatever you think is best. I'll be traveling through Hyrule and back to the place where I got the clothes I'm wearing now. Durability and temperature don't matter much, I have magic for that."

He counts out two hundred rupees and offers them to her.

The rupees go in a purse. "Oh, good, I like total creative freedom. Now I just need some measurements... I'll have to touch you some to get enough to make it really fit, but I can eyeball it or just get a few if you're not comfortable with that."

"That'll be fine, I don't mind."

Measuring! And then Claree talking to herself about color and trim and comparing fabrics and sketches excitedly! She seems to have forgotten Valanda's there - he can probably leave now. Though it is kind of interesting to watch.

If he left he wouldn't learn nearly as much about Hylian fashion. He waits a while and listens to what she says.

Claree does pause the whirl of activity to sell socks to one of the locals who wanders in, but can talk about fashion for hours, easily.

...Yeah okay he should probably go wait for Link.

Link is still away somewhere. There's a few other stores if he's interested, or he could talk to passers-by. The guard in front of Lady Impa's house, a man with an easel and paints looking thoughtful, someone fretting about his lost Cuccos...

Might as well figure out what the authorities are like. He tries saying hi to the guard.

"Ho, traveler. Welcome to Kakariko Village."

"You look official. Do you know the local laws about commerce?"

"I'm more of a guard. Laws aren't so much a thing anymore, or at least not as strictly as they used to be. Folk pay ten percent of what they make into the community fund, at least in the village proper. If you're a blatant fraud or have a history of complaints we'll come around and have a chat and investigate, then maybe either make you pay up or expel you from the village."

"Thank you. I'm not sure if I'll stay long enough to want to work here but if I do, how do I pay into your fund?"

"Collection day is once every new moon. If you're not going to stick around that long, don't worry about it."

"Thank you."

He looks around for Link.

Link is on the ridgeline above the far side of the village! She's kind of hard to see at this distance, but waves broadly while walking back towards the square.

He waves back and heads in her general direction.

"Hey, Val! I found dinner. But I don't see any new clothes, did you have trouble shopping?"

"I splurged on something custom, it's not done yet. What did you find for dinner?"

"Carrots, radishes, mushrooms, and a deer!"
