Fergie was idly perusing a fashion catalog, open to the men's shoe section, as Pepper played at his feet. His shoelaces, apparently, were figuring as the villains in her kitty game today. She kept attacking them viciously, or as viciously as something that tiny and that cute could attack something.
Ordinarily he would have been very irritated. He didn't appreciate having his clothing or accessories ruined, and had explained to Pepper very firmly when he'd gotten her that she was not to mess with his things. But seriously, who could say no to
that face? New shoelaces weren't that expensive. He could part with these, if it made her
that happy.
At Arielle's command, he looked up from his magazine. "Now, darling, not everyone is lucky enough to have naturally cute little booties like we are," he reminded her quietly, smirking, but obediently directed his gaze towards the unfortunate girl in question. He made a thoughtful humming noise as his eyes flicked from the top of the girl's head to the toes of her flats. It
was pretty terrible, he had to agree. Too many patterns, and absolutely the wrong cut.
"She probably thinks the loud colors will distract from her physical weaknesses," he decided, wrinkling his nose. Poor, poor misguided soul. "It's tragic, it really is. That is a cry for Fashion Help if I ever heard one. Next time I'm in a make over mood I'm going to find her." Because if anyone needed a completely wardrobe overhaul, it was that girl. He shook his head as her friend joined her - not as violently vibrantly dressed as her friend, just very mousy. "I don't know, darling. Sometimes I think intro to fashion should be made a core class here at school. But if they can't even be bothered to pick up a fashion magazine, I doubt they'd be able to pass."
