"Gustav" - "Fanghook"

Remember that your gifts are your gain

This was entirely embarassing, and he wasn't even sure how to begin asking for help with particular endeavor, but after taking a good, long look at himself, he decided he was in no way ready to even try and do any grand romantic gestures for Henry. Not that he thought he looked terrible, but he also looked like a scruffy little tramp, and Henry deserved better than that, and he knew no one better than Serana to fix the tragic situation that was Gustav Larson.

He hadn't had a lot of encounters with the woman, she seemed nice enough, if not more than a little intimidating half the time, and he wasn't sure if she would even want to help him, did she even like him? He'd never given her any actual reason not to, but then some people didn't ever need an actual reason to dislike him...So it was a 50/50 whether this would go well or not...He'd at least taken the time to bathe, which was something he didn't tend to do often, but he figured she might be more apt to work with someone who wasn't scruffy and filthy.

He cleared his throat as he spotted her, a little sheepish in his approach before he gently tugged her sleeve, "Serana? Are you like...Super busy?"

SERANA B FLETCHER "Judge a book by it's cover and you'll find the prettiest books don't like to be read." Serana had woken up in a happy mood, as usual t quickly soured throughout he events of the morning. The mother of the nadder's was grumpy, which meant the babies were grumpy, which meant she was grumpy, and everyinenneeded a nap. She had already snapped on several villiagers for disturbing her as she walked with a sleeping baby nadder in her arms. So when a boy tugged in her sleeve she naturally turned to scowl at him for a moment... though he was asking for help. Instantly the scowl turned to a bright smile. Perhaps she could have a break from babysitting? She put the dragon on Amber's back, who crooned at the sight of the small nadder on her, and she put her hands in her hips and looked Gustav over, "I'm free enough, what needs to be done?"

He felt all the hairs stand on the back of his neck and visibly tense when she turned such a sour scowl on him, his eyes widening in alarm as he back stepped a little, "u-uh...Sorry! I...Uhm..." He stumbled over his words, afraid immediately that he'd done something wrong, or maybe he'd ticked her off before and couldn't remember? That was likely, he tended to tick everyone off, so it made sense that he would forget between who and what sometimes.

When she smiled, he relaxed, but just a little, he was still fairly nervous as he gave her a crooked smile, "well it's like this..." He gestured to himself, looking a little unsure, "I'm...Not so impressive...I mean I ain't bad...But I'm certainly not good..." He gestured to her, "but like...You look killer every day...A-and y'know...You're a girl..." He ran a hand through his hair, "and the person I need to impress is a girl...Or well...Less impress...I already have that part down...B-b-but like...I wanna look nice for her..." His expression became a little bit far away and dreamy, "cause she's like...really great...She's..." He stopped himself before he went on a ramble, "anyway I just like...You...Me...Maybe you can fix..." He gestured to himself, "all of this?" He gave her a sheepish grin, looking antsy.

SERANA B FLETCHER "Judge a book by it's cover and you'll find the prettiest books don't like to be read." Serana pursed her lips at the boy and titled her head as she looked him over. "You have a good look for the way you are, your casual look isn't broken you just dress the way you like." She explained quickly and gave his cheek a pat, "You're a handsome young man, okay? ... With personality from what I've heard. That's good to have." She winked and guestured for him to follow, "I don't have much men's wear, especially not in your size, but I think I can work something out. I'm no tailor but this wouldn't be the first time I've had to make an outfit on the fly," She hummed and Amber started to walk towards the arena with the sleeping baby in her back, already figuring she'd be back babysitting, though Amber certainly didn't mind.  She opened the door to her home for Gustav to enter and rushed to the closet after pushing the boy playfully to sit in a chair. Her closet was a large portain of her room, just the way she liked it. Large and lots of variety. There was a smaller suit in the back she had used once as a disguise of course. She tossed it to him, "Alright put this on."

Gustav's rambling mess of conscious thought was cut off when Serana cut in and spoke, and he reached to rub at the back of his neck, waving a hand at her with a somewhat bashful expression, "oooh stooop it you...I-I'm not all that!" He grinned, clearly joking, though her words were a comfort. It wasn't like he thought he was especially unattractive, but he was also a scruffy little hooligan half the time, he liked it that way, and he knew Henry probably liked it too, but he wanted to look nice for her.

He glanced up and nodded as he followed her, looking himself over with a laugh, "yeah, well it's pretty hard to find anything that fits me at any given time! I'm about knee high to a flea, which is fine, but y'know!" He looked back as the dragons wandered off back towards the arena, chuckling softly, "bad day with the babies?" He glanced sidelong at her with a smirk, "if that death glare you gave me was anything to go by, I'd say yes!" He knew she worked with breeding and babies a lot, he himself had never had a lot of experience with them, but from what he did know, baby dragons could be a nightmare.

He didn't get far into her home before he was shoved down into the chair with a huff, looking a little surprised, "well no wonder you always look good! I don't think anyone on Berk has a wardrobe like this!" He looked surprised when she tossed the suit to him, nodding and getting to his feet before he stripped down without much hesitation, slipping into the clothes she'd given him, smirking as he looked himself over, "not bad at all..." It was vastly different from what he normally wore, but that was a good thing, right?

SERANA B FLETCHER "Judge a book by it's cover and you'll find the prettiest books don't like to be read." Serana smiled when he asked about the babies. "It's never a bad day with baby dragons, but the parents can put you in a sour mood, and the little ones are a bit too energetic sometimes. It's nothing Amber can't handle though, and I let her do must the babysitting More often than not." The woman took no notice of his body aside from the fact he was a noodle, and looked at how the outfit fitted him and pursed her lips in thought, "I'll just hem the sleeves and legs a bit shorter and it'll be a perfect fit... then I can see what I can do about that hair." She cut the legs and sleeves and mended them to look the way they had before in a manner of minuets, beaming happily with the work she had done. "You remind me a lot of my cousin." She murmured as she grabbed a special mind of grease for hair and slicked his back after brushing it out, not taking long to have him looking like an upperclass gentleman rather than the boy's true nature. "Alright, take a look." She guestured towards the mirror behind her, though she was still contemplating his face, "If I ever need to use you as a spy this will be what you'd wear." She said half jokingly, checking his wrists before placing a hand on either shoulder.  "Now- I want to hear some details before you leave. What have you got planned, hmm?"

Gustav grinned at her, "I agree wholeheartedly!" He looked interested when she mentioned the babies being too energetic, chuckling softly, "Yeah? If you ever need anyone to tire them out, I've been told I have twice as much energy as a baby dragon!" He shrugged a little, "so I'd be happy to help keep them busy! Even if that equates to letting them nibble me a bit!" He stood still as she worked at cutting and hemming the sleeves, "I make an excellent chew toy." He snickered at this, looking over the sleeves once they were fitted better and grinning wide, "Perfect! You're good at this!" When she gave him permission to look himself over, he turned and whistled, "dang Gustav, you're looking sleek!" He grinned, pulling a few ridiculous poses before turning to her, "I'm probably the last person you'd want to use as a spy! I'm about as discreet as a Gronkle in a pottery barn..."

He looked up and his cheeks flushed when she asked what he had planned, chuckling, "I-I mean not much...Nothing super huge or...Like I asked her to meet me somewhere later tonight and I was like..." He gestured out the door, "I got Valka to teach me to dance, it probably sounds stupid..." He fidgeted a little and smiled as that sort of dreamy look came back, "she's just...Like she's so unlike anyone I've ever met...So like...What do you do for someone so infinitely unique and special to show them how infinitely unique and special they are...Y'know?" He shuffled a little, "I've never done this before...So I'm kinda flying blind..."

SERANA B FLETCHER "Judge a book by it's cover and you'll find the prettiest books don't like to be read." Serana hummed and continued to slick back Gustav's hair, until it was to her liking. "There's a first time for everything. I've seen you two about, you seem like a good match for one another." She adjusted the ribbon in her own hair and then wiped the grass from her hands onto a rag sitting on her desk, "You're free to go have your fun then... and between you and I," she leaned in and whispered as if someone would hear her, "Henretta looks almost as good as you today." She winked, hinting that the woman had come to her earlier for a similar treatment. It was fun, dressing people up as such.
