"Do you want to try on some of Haru's clothes, dear, you must've been in those things since last night but I don't know how you feel about the way he dresses."

Permalink

"Ummmmmm.  I don't know.  I shouldn't wear things like that but I also shouldn't keep wearing dirty clothes...  So I don't know."

Permalink

"...you shouldn't wear things like that? Why not?"

Permalink

"They aren't ladylike, Swan-san."

Permalink

"Well, I guess not, but they're certainly closer to your size than anything of mine, and we've got a bit of a tight budget with the move so I'm not sure I can buy you something new."

Permalink

She looks disproportionately horrified.

 

"If these are the clothes which are here, I will have to wear them at some point.  So I shouldn't wear dirty clothes if the other choice is wearing them forever."

Permalink

"- the social worker might have something, I just don't know for sure. We could try turning one of my scarves into a wrap skirt, would you like that better than wearing jeans?"

Permalink

"Ummm.  If it was good enough I would like that better but I would have to see more to know if it could be good enough."

Permalink

"You can come have a look at my scarves, then, I need to unpack them anyway."

Ren is susceptible to street vendors distributing anything that can pass for silk or linen to amateur inspection and has colors on it; she's got a variety.

Permalink

These ones look acceptably sized and heavy enough for modesty, and of them.... she thinks this one is the least - loud.  The one that has a lot of shades of green in blotches but at least is only greens.

Permalink

Ren will go ahead and render it into a wrap skirt for her.

Permalink

And she will take one of Haru's white T-shirts (and tuck it in, and then pull it back out the flattering amount).  (...As flattering as she can manage under these circumstances.)

Permalink

Hopefully she will also accept tiny boxer briefs (they are, mercifully, in solid colors; Haru doesn't go in for putting trains or Pokémon on his undewear).

Permalink

She doesn't complain and in fact thanks the Swans for them.  But it does look like she might be about to cry again.

Permalink

Will another hug help with that?

Permalink

No, it makes her meet the threshold of starting to actually cry.  But she doesn't let go right away, this time.

Permalink

"This is such a lot to be dealing with and then on top of everything you didn't even have a change of clothes, you poor thing."

Permalink

 

"I need some tissues."

Permalink

"Of course, dear." They have those unpacked now.

Permalink

Then she will not get crying byproducts (cryproducts) on Ren.

"I - I, want to be good - the way my adults said to be - but maybe they aren't even real or maybe I can never see them again -"

Permalink

"What did they want you to do, sweetheart?"

Permalink

"I have to be neat and a lady, and be as good as I can at everything, so I'm not disappointed in myself when I'm adult, and make sure that autumn equinoxes can turn out right even when they're delayed incubated, and I - I'm being really bad at all of those."

Permalink

"...autumn equinoxes?"

Permalink

"She remembers astrology being important," Haru says.

Permalink

She nods into Ren's arm.  "We are all the same person on the inside except for how things like being a man or a woman or growing up in different families changes it."
