[ OPTION ONE ]
Ask and you shall receive. It's been months ago that Cinna has requested an area to work in. The hotel has given him a space on the first floor near the cafe. Supplies have been gathered and the space redone to accommodate Cinna and his craft. That's right, there's officially a clothier's shop in the hotel. Cinna is indeed in his element.
Upon first entry to the shop it looks very unassuming and casual. There's the mixed aroma of freshly brewed tea and coffee as well as some pastries brought over from the cafe. The front half of the shop holds everyday clothes that seem to be the norm of what most of the people in the hotel wear, things like tees and sweaters and jeans and shorts. In the middle of the shop there's a round dark mahogany table with three high-backed plush armchairs around it. The armchairs are cushioned black with golden embellishments. Toward the back is where Cinna's influence shows through more prominently; clothing, both everyday and formal with unique and futuristic flares and touches. It's Couture at its finest. There are tall, large mirrors in the back as well as dressing rooms.
It should also be noted that as he has befriended both Milady and Aramis, there is attire befitting both men and women from their time period in Paris. Beautiful gowns and carefully stitched shirtsleeves and doublets. Cinna is always accommodating and will take special orders all day every day.
Outside of the space is a bracket with a swinging sign placard bearing the shop's name in an elegant golden script: Design by Cinna.
Cinna can almost always be found at the mahogany table in the center of the shop, sitting in one of the chairs with material draped over his lap and needle and thread in hand. He'll welcome anyone to his new shop. Please feel free to stop by!
[ OPTION TWO ]
Oftentimes Cinna can be found in the conservatory, sitting among the plant life and sketching new designs. It's peaceful in there. He'll greet and chit chat with most anyone who happens upon him.
However, one day he opens a door that he thinks goes to his hotel room but finds himself in the outdoors instead. The environment is boisterous and loud, crowds walking through fairways and strange music in the air. The sky is blue overhead, with the occasional cloud here and there. There are shops and tents and big contraptions with some kind of transport on them that has people screaming as they zip over rails.
Cinna, coming from Panem, has never seen anything like it. A man comes by and offers him a stick with a ball of pink cotton on top of it. What is it? He sees someone else with something similar eating the cotton. So he pinches some off and puts it in his mouth. The sugary sweetness surprisingly melts in his mouth.
Certainly, a place such as this can't be anything bad, right? Cinna is off to explore the amusement park.

She takes a moment, then lifts and lowers a shoulder, "If you think you can make something nice enough, I shall try it, though I may decline. What is a 'sundress'?"
no subject
He looks around his shop and finds a certain area, rifling through clothes until he comes up with a dress, bringing it over to her. "Something like this. Daring but still tasteful. What do you think?"
no subject
But times being what they are, she gazes at him. "May I try this one now?"
no subject
Knowing what he knows of Milady so far, maybe he shouldn't be surprised at all. She is someone different, someone who is seemingly unafraid.
"There's a dressing room right there." He offers her the dress. "Go ahead and I'll find some shoes to go with it."
no subject
Without surprise either, it takes her a good deal of time with help from Cinna, to get out of her dress, too. (She assumes he finds her appealing, yet he can sense that he is not one of the men who wants her sexually. It's nice, actually.
Then she gets herself into this "sundress" over her corset and knickers, though the knickers have to go as the dress is shorter than the knickers!
Cinna is needed again to help her "zip" the dress.
Then she can look at herself in the mirror turning this way and that.
Well. This is quite something, isn't it. There are her legs, shapely and pale, and her arms, also pale and rounded as is the fashion of her time (unlike the muscle and unhealthy thinness of those in the hotel). She turns a slow circle and turns to Cinna - what does he think?
no subject
When the dress is zipped up, Cinna leaves for a moment and returns with some sheer white stockings, much thinner and more durable than what Milady is accustomed to. And a pair of heels.
She's looking at herself in the mirror and Cinna thinks she looks lovely. He's sure that shows on his features as he sets the stockings aside and kneels before her to gently touch one ankle to lift one foot and slide a heel on, then the other. The heels make her legs even more shapely.
Cinna stands back behind her a bit and looks at her reflection. "Absolutely lovely. How do you feel?"
