Made To Fit

Posted on Tue May 30th, 2017 @ 5:59pm by Colonel S'er'in'e & Samanthia Akiashiro

It was that time where S'er'in'e would embrace another of Samanthia's ways. As he understood it, he was forbidden to see her dress before the day however she could see his. He didn't understand the rule himself and was often puzzled on the fairness of such a rule BUT, that was tradition and he would abide by it. The task however was.....how does one tailer a suit to an individual that is over 7 feet tall and weighed more than a photon torpedo?

He stood in his quarters wearing a comfortable two piece trouser and vest outfit leaving his arms exposed to the shoulders. He had asked his Mate to help him as he was unsure of the proper steps and reading about it would only take him so far, he wanted to make this right for her, her special day.

"Are you ready my Mate?" He asked as he stood in the main area of home waiting for her.

"Come on, Big Kitty... Sheeesh..." Samanthia rolled her eyes as she made the her way to the door from the bedroom. She was showing a minor baby bump, but still had her very attractive figure. "We'll go to the Promenade to get you measured to fit."

S'er'in'e was still trying to get his head around all the intricate elements that made up a Human wedding, the do's and dont's for example. He moved to follow his Mate as they would go to the tailor, where his awkward and no doubt amusing to Samanthia, his fitting would take place.

After a quick jaunt up to the Promenade, Samanthia led the way to a tailor shop offering the best in custom made suits. She entered the shop to the usual pleasant door chimes to alert the staff that a customer had arrived. She looked at S'er'in'e, just as proprietor stepped out from the back room.

"Greeting Gentle-Folks. Welcome to Zachary's Tailor Shop." Zachary looked at Samanthia and then to the big Caitian. "This will be a challenge." Eyes gleaming. "I take it, you need a suit for an important occasion?" Looking at S'er'in'e as he rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

"Indeed, a wedding." S'er'in'e explained as he stood next to his Mate and waited knowing that 'Challenge' was an understatement when it came to him.

"Take a look at the various styles we offer and when you make a choice, let me or my staff know. So that we can get your measurements, Mr. Cat." Zachary spoke with respect to them both. He motioned them both over to a stand that held a big book of male styles from across the galaxy for formal occasions. "Take your time in looking through the catalog."

S'er'in'e did exactly that and looked at what was available, there were some very appealing designs but he had trouble choosing. Some were different to what his Mate had pointed out to him earlier. "How about this one?" He asked his Mate.

Samanthia leaned up against S'er'in'e gently as she wrapped an arm around his waist to look at the picture of the outfit. "It would look wonderful on you." She looked over at Zachary. "Can you provide a holographic representation of my mate here wearing this outfit?"

Zachary looked at the pointed out picture and tapped in commands. A viewing screen dropped from the ceiling and activated. It showed S'er'in'e wearing a skinsuit at first. Then Zachary looked at the catalog picture code at the bottom and typed in the code. The view screen shimmered and the outfit appeared on S'er'in'e. He typed in another command and the figure on the screen rotated 360 degrees at a slow rate.

Samanthia eyes widen with a big smile as she looked up at S'er'in'e. "I like it!" Softly exclaiming. "What do you think?"

The outfit was of loose flowing robes similar to Caitian male formal robes. The robes were in dark non-descript masculine colors that blended well with each other and the fur markings of S'er'in'e.

"Same." S'er'in'e replied with a smile. "Shall well use this one?" He was depending on her view on suitable attire as if this were a Caitian wedding then attire choice was far easier. He knew he'd have to be measured for this selection however and that, might be a challenge for the much shorter male.

Samanthia nodded with a smile. "It would be perfect. It matches." Turning to Zachary, "We'll take this one."

Zachary nodded, "Well chosen." He held up a scanner and typed in commands and pointed a wand at S'er'in'e after he came around the console to take in S'er'in'e's full stature. "Please stand fully erect, please." He waited.

S'er'in'e as asked stood to his full height, towering over both person and racks of attire and fabric around him. He felt slightly uneasy over the ordeal because it was new for him, he liked to plan, calculate, take the lead but in this instance he couldnt because this was a Human custom and such he knew little about.

Zachary pointed the wand at S'er'in'es feet and slowly raised it up him to the tip of his ears. "It'll be ready for the first fitting in 72 hours. We have imported Asguard Silk? Delainian Silk? Or Sol-3 Silk?" He looked thoughtful, "Unless you have a preference in materials. Then it would take longer to make for the first fittings."

"Something breathable, permitting freedom of movement, tail and the legs." He turned to his Mate seeking her help in picking which silk would be best.

"I'm sure he knows that," Samanthia smiled up at her big Cat beside her. "Delainian Silk. It has a nice feel to it and it whont rub your fur wrong." She turned to Zachary with a smile. "That is what we would like."

Zachary nodded, "Wise choice, Ma'am." He made notes and moved off to help another customer. "If you need any more help, let me know Gentle-Folks."

Samanthia nodded in reply and turned to S'er'in'e. "Pretty easy. You could've done that." She teased him lightly with warmth in her eyes.

"Perhaps, however the company is more enjoyable then doing such alone." S'er'in'e wrapped his tail about her knee. He held his Mate gently, her pregnancy taking its course but that did nothing to stem her love and care for him. "I understand that I am not permitted to see you the night before, if I have read the ceremony correctly." He spoke softly. "Are there any other rules or requirements needed of me that I should prepare for?"

"There is the Bachelor Party if your friends decide to take you out on your last night of freedom in playing the field. Then there is Bachelorette party I'll be attending." She looked up at him and smiled as they left the Taylors shop onto the promenade.

"Where would my Mate wish to go next?" He spoke as he held her amongst the crowd of people on the Promenade.

"I need to get off my feet for awhile. And to get caught up on my two establishments. See how they are going." Samanthia looked up at Se'ri'ne. She gently grabbed his tail and gave it a gentle pet. She then released it. "Warp-12 first."

"Of course." S'er'in'e smiled and though he knew the route to Warp-12, he followed beside his Mate as she made her way. "You seem surprisingly calm my Mate about the wedding, my research told me that this would be a time of great stress, hurrying about getting things done and setting arrangements." He wondered if due to being married before it fell down to she knew what she was doing and what to expect and could prepare better for it.
