Of course! It is my job, after all.

[ his face lights up. ]

Are you going to a ball? [ and then, because he's a professional. ] It will depend on what you'd like to wear. Statement piece, understated, jewels, etc. You can follow me over here if you'd like?

[ LOOK AT THIS SECTION OVER OFF ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORE that he's going to take her over to. ]

[ . . . . whoa, what a professional. Natalia laughs faintly behind her hand and before she addresses his second question, she takes care of the first--]

I am! Rather, I'm doing my best to orchestrate a ball here. Have you ever been to one, sir?

[she's not sure if it's just her kingdom that does it or what]

Hmmm... [ he looks thoughtful, tapping at his chin. ]

Not an official one. I've been to some school dances, but not an official ball. I've always wanted to, though! And please-

[ he smiles at her, shaking his head. ]

It's just Kisumi!

[always wanted to...!! well that's easy. so Natalia just smiles before she reaches into her purse. she'd given a fair amount of the invitations to Rock Lee to deliver but also

have a fancy looking envelope complete with a stamped seal, Kisumi!!]

Very well, then Kisumi.

I, Natalia, cordially invite you to a ball then, if you would honor me with your attendance.

[ his eyes go wide at the appearance of the envelope, almost like he didn't think this could be happening. he takes it with a polite bow in thanks, looking at just how fancy and nice it looks. ]

Thank you very much! I accept with much excitement. [ he is very very excited. can you tell? ] Am I allowed to invite friends?

[Whoa, she didn't expect a bow. It surprises a bit of a laugh out of here before she politely curtseys in return!! Sure, why not.]

I'm glad you're excited...! In which case, please, invite all your friends. I'd like to see if I can get the entire colony to attend in all honesty!

[ sure, why not! is really the best way to live life don't even worry. ]

Ah! Perfect! I'll definitely let them know! Are you organizing this all by yourself?

Well, no, it's a rather large endeavor so I'm accepting all who are willing to lend a hand.

[ . . . and there's a pause as she looks him over, considering. Well. It's not like it'd be a bad idea to have a friendly shop attendant--]

Tell me, might you be particularly busy in the coming week?

I would hope so. I can't imagine trying to take care of all of this yourself!

[ he smiles as she looks him over, before just about sparkling when she asks. ]

I only work three days a week, so other than that? Not at all!

[Excellent. Natalia smiles at that then--]

Well, I hope you wouldn't think it rude of me to request your assistance even though we've just met then...!

I do believe that you would be a great help.
