"A-ah, yes. Exactly what Ai said." Alexia agreed.
"Ummm...that is...I'm...I'm here to help with whatever you choose, Miss Imuka."
And then Rheia spoke her piece and the princess gave her an embarassed smile.
"A-and myself as well...I...umm...don't really get into this fashion thing very much. So, um, orange, right? Are we going for a gown...or?"
Hospital
At that moment, the hospital wing door opened to admit Alexia, pale and worried looking.
She was carrying what appeared to be...boiled eggs?
"A-ah,Ieria, I've heard what happened! How are you feeling? And, umm, these are for you..."

Imuka kinda just flattens out her ears very unsure what to do, "W-Would it be too much to ask to see both? S-Sorry"
Hospital
Having spent the past little while getting his nose rearranged into something resembling its original position (though still fairly crooked), Glen wandered over to where Jack and Ieria were, pulling up a seat up alongside the beds.
"Hope this is nae a bad time, but when you hae a minute or two, I'd like tae hae a few words wi' the both o' you about what caused all o' this" Said the Highlander as he sat down
And if either of you noticed Erin's stunt he added mentally.

Rheia thought for a moment.
"Y'know what? Sure. Let's try out a gown first, see how that works on me."
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp.""Sure." Silvia said. "Better to keep your options broad."

Jack turned, wincing as he put his hand to his ribs. Alexia seemed focused on Ieria, so he might as well tell Glenn. "That was my fault. I made Ieria go berserk on purpose, thought it would be cathartic..."

Ieria shook her head as she moved to try and sit up. "Ah, Sir Glen, it is alright...Jack tried to help me get things under control, he did not know this would happen..." She explained as best she could, giving him and Alexia a pained smile. "A-ah, Princess, I cannot eat them with my own hands...could you feed them to me?" She asked, embarrassed.

Alexia smiled and nodded. "Well, umm, this section is where all the clothes from Vale are..." she gestured to where they were.
"Umm, the second floor is where the ones from Vacuo and Mistral are..."
Hospital
"I do think that Alice and Medus would be better fit at feeding you than me." Alexia teased gently, before sitting on a chair next to Ieria's bed and holding out the eggs.
She tried very hard not to show how uncomfortable she was around Glen.
"...I could have stopped your Semblance. Forgive me for not being there."

With an outstretched palm, Pius decided to release a small volley of probing fireballs, testing his fellow team leader's defensive maneuvers.
Medical Wing
Pius entered quietly after Alexia to check up on his teammate. He grimaced at Ieria's state, glancing at Jack accusingly before returning his attention to the Faunus.
"You didn't know this was happening," he said to Alexia, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "If it was, we would've stopped this nonsense."

Pinching the bridge of his (now-repaired) nose as Jack explained just why he thought it was a good idea to set the Berserker off, Glen muttered "I dinnae ken what part o' you thought it'd be a braw idea tae send Ieria here intae a battle fury, but please dinnae do it again"
Glen quietly and mirthlessly chuckled to himself as he realized that two of the three around him had broken his nose in the past few weeks.
"Now, I hae a feelin' I'm nae wanted here, so I'm goin' tae leave shortly. Before I do, I just want tae ask, either o' you see anythin' odd when the fight ended?"
Hospital
Medus strode into the medical wing, carrying a set of pajamas and a warm blanket for Ieria. "Someone say something about me feeding my girlfriend?" He asked teasingly as he set the blanket over the snake girl. "You okay, love?" He asked, gently stroking Ieria's face.
-dramatic music ensues-Medical Wing
Ieria could not help but shed a small tear as she saw her team gather. "No, Sir Glen, it is quite alright, you may stay, I apologize for any damage I might have caused you...and did I see anything?" She asked curiously at the thought. "...I believe I might have...only a vague outline really...nothing concrete." She shook her head before giving him a pained smile.
She turned to Pius and frowned slightly. "Pius, please, do not blame Jack, he had good intentions...he just did not know how to carry them out...as for my semblance..." She curled her hands into fists as her eyes grew misty. "...I am never going to use it again." She said once more.

Medus snapped out of his trance. "Oh yeah, sure babe." He stepped away for a second before pausing, reaching back and grabbing two of the jackets one of them in a masculine style, the other feminine. "Okay, Ieria. Let's go check out dresses."
Medical Wing
The rocker nodded at his partner's statement. "Okay if that's what you want." He took her uninjured hand in his. "You want my help controlling your semblance, I'll be there. You want to learn to get along without it, I'll help you train until you can fight all on your own without tapping the damn Orochi's power." Medus leaned down and kissed her. "Either way, recovery first."

Medus' eyes flicked up to Jack, looking at him for the first time since arriving. "Jack, now look. I'm having a hard enough time not leaving you with bad enough lacerations to keep you in here for another two months for needlessly endangering Ieria. So, kindly refrain from doing anything else stupid which may tempt me further. And remember you can try to be as secretive about it as you want, but my semblance means that I can make my hearing exceptional, and I'm going to be sleeping right outside that door." He indicated the entrance to the medical center.

-dramatic music ensues-Clothes' "shopping"
As she rummaged through the clothing, Hope found nothing else quite as striking as the suit with acid green tie.
For now she just needed a leg to stand on, no matter how stiffly. The least she could do. To that end she wheeled over to where Imuka was located, now busy with various exotic clothing.
Well, that's one way to weasel yourself out of a dress.
"Hey, uh, Imu?" She tapped her teammate on the hip, not quite able to reach for the shoulder. "Can I bother you for a moment?"

Rheia headed off, back into the "orange" section of the current floor, before skimming over the clothes in order to find a gown.
God I hate this beauty contest... uh, no, no, no, no, not quite, no, no, here we are!
After scrutinizing the choices available to her for a few minutes Rheia snatched up a gown with a V-neck - it was a very light orange, in comparison to her deeply hued hair.
Step 1 done. Step 2: change... She began looking for a changing station, or some place similarly secluded.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Wardrobe
Noa gave Alexia a really long, hard stare.
"Second floor. Second. Floor."
Fucking royals. Just... Dust take it, she was getting pissed off over the most innocuous things.
Arena B.I.
Rufus tactics on the defensive was to simply soak it. He raised up his tall kite shield as it turned orange. The warp crystals projected a field of solid force mere micrometers from the surface and pushed back against the fireballs.
From the billowing smoke of the light explosives, a lengthening blade lanced out, slashing across the arena. It aimed to catch Pius in the side.
The Wardrobe
Ai clapped her hands together. "Right, let's play dress-up and try whatever takes your fancy!" she said. "Lexi knows this place better than us so she should know where to loo—"
She snapped her head back to look at Alexia.
"Wh—a second floor? You never told me—okay, I have to see this. This is a whole floor I haven't raided yet."
Arena Earlier
As Rufus's blade swung towards him, Pius raised a wall of ice that would catch the blade upon impact. The second the sword struck, the Nobel blasted forward to give Rufus a rocket-boosted kick that he would feel behind the shield, preparing a lightning blast from his gauntlets as a follow-up strike.

The Highlander shook his head "Wi' all due respect mate, I cannae say I'm willin' tae trust your judgement right now, an' I dinnae want tae deal wi' the fallout that'll come from you usin' that damnable thing. So, no, I'm nae gettin' you anythin'"
Getting up to leave, Glen leaned in close to Medus and whispered "Dinnae let Jack leave if you can, call me if somethin' goes awry."
And with that, the Highlander left.
UNTRUSTED
Jack sighed, wincing as he leaned back. "So, now Glenn's going to investigate me?" He wondered aloud. Great! He had just gotten to the point where he felt he belonged here and then he skullfucked it!
With a growl of pain, he got up, ignoring the pain that enveloped his body. "Forgive me, Ieria." he said, limping towards the hall. His arm lying next to his bed.

Ieria smiled as Medus took her along, thoughts filled with dresses and swimsuits. "I was thinking perhaps something in dark green for my outfits..." She began, tapping a finger against her chin.
Hospital
"Wait, Jack..." Ieria called out as she tried to sit up. "You had good intentions, I know, but...please, I have to do this myself, it really cannot be helped and I cannot cut corners." She said sadly. "I thank you for what you are trying to do, but..." She shakes her head. "It is fine, trust me."

"No, I mean like—people think that you might wear a kimono, so you could surprise them with something they don't expect and win the crowd that way," Ai said. "So if you want to wear Vale fashion, go for it. But you don't have to just to be like everyone else. Wear what you want to wear and we'll support you."
