{ota} all the right moves

Kritika can usually be found in different places in the Spades castle curled up with her laptop. During hours on her shifts, of course, she's sure to stay close to Katya's office. Either way, she's often doing work of some sort.

... yes, looking through online catalogs counts. In her defense, it's her birthday in two months, and she needs to choose sari colors before then. "What do you think?" she'll ask to whoever passes by.

((ooc: tag please? ♥))

Julien pauses, raises his eyebrows curiously. "Did you actually want my opinion?"

It's not exactly often a young lady asks his thoughts on clothing choices, after all, for all he's rather known for generally being well-tailored himself.

Being hidden off in a corner hardly meant being allowed to Miss tea. And having a birthday upcoming hardly meant that slacking off wouldn't receive an Arched brow of something not quite strong enough to be properly called Disapproval.

"...a bit bright, Miss Six."

"A bit early for shopping, isn't it?" Then again, Kritka wasn't Ivona's assistant, perhaps Her Majesty didn't mind a bit of laxity here and there. Nevertheless, she wasn't here to police the secretaries, so.

Ivona craned her head around to look at the offered selection, eyebrow going up in criticism. "A bit...garish, wouldn't you say? All those symmetrical lines, tsk." She shook her head. "Geometric, dear. That's what you need. And something muted in color, not so...unflattering."

That said, she placed the stack of neatly organized folders on the Six's desk, adding in a pleasant tone, "The recommendations Her Majesty requested. Do please ensure she receives them, hm?"

"Ooooo." He crouched down next to Kritika to get a better look at the green and gold sari on the screen. If he's at all bothered by the fact that she's loafing around during work hours, it certainly didn't show.

"I like it. The gold trimming is nice. Would be easy to match with gold accessories." So Michael might be a terrible shopper if he got dragged along to anything in person, but he's at least been trained to say sensible, appropriate things.

"It looks like it would take hours to pin together. I don't know where you find the patience for it."

It's been some time, Jordan thinks, since he's been asked his opinion on a sari. Not that Meghana often did, really; she mostly wore Western clothes, and was estranged enough from the other Sankarans that she hadn't gone to that many events in a sari.

He could only remember the one time, really.

"The purple is nice," he said after a somewhat pregnant pause. "The green is too, but the embroidery's a bit...much."

Just in his opinion.

"Really?" he asks, frowning as he cranes to see the image on the screen. "I thought you wore those things for special occasions. This one looks like you were invited to some great-aunt's deathbed."

It is very bad of her to move so silently. Very bad indeed to move, soft-footed, from inner office to stop far enough behind Kritika that her PA will not sense her yet close enough that her voice still must come as shock.

"Very pretty. But what shoes will you wear with it?" Shoes being far more important than plumbing report from Maintenance. Katya smiles to self. Not strictly true should castle pipes suddenly seize up.
