[Hello Kisumi!! Hope your day at work is going well, it's about to get a little bit busier. Natalia's wandering into the jewelry shop, lightly flipping her hair over her shoulder as she browses the wares.

Except it seems that she's... not quite able to make a decision... Hm!

She makes a small waving gesture to catch Kisumi's attention, tilting her head and offering him a smile.]

Pardon me sir, might you work here?

[ don't even worry! kisumi is very quick to catch on when the young lady waves her over, setting down what he was doing and moving to where she's browsing with an easy smile. ]

I do! Can I help you with anything?

[So helpful! Natalia gives him a bright smile back before she tilts her head.]

Certainly so, if you are willing.

Tell me, do you know anything of galas in general or perhaps a ball?

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.
