Hey, guess what! Oswald just got paid the method of earning said pay is nothing to be concerned about and, as promised, has sent over a suit!

It's a dark wine and black ensemble. Along with it is a the name and address of the tailor that made it - a very expensive one in Nonah - as well as the note:

I've pre-purchased a pair of gloves and shoes to go with this, you just have to go to the shop to get sized for them. They'll arrive within the week once you have.
Sincerely,
Oswald

[Have you ever had a moment in your life where you questioned everything that brought you to this moment to try to determine where you went so horrible wrong? This is Terry at that exact moment as he stares down at the suit that is easily the most expensive thing in his room right now.

He composes several drafts of his response to this.... gift before settling on:]

I told you you didn't have to do that.

You don't like it? Was I terribly off on the sizing? Is it the color?

[aboveand]

[Well the color is a little--

Wait, that's so not the point.]

No, that's all fine. It's just

It's a lot.

[shotgunsolutions]

It's barely anything. Really. Don't worry about the cost.

But if it makes you feel better, I'll be less extravagant with the next one. It's just that every young man should have a proper suit.

[Please like him.]

[aboveand]

I appreciate the gesture but gifts aren't necessary. Really.

[If he says he likes him will he stop giving him random things?

Also, how many suits did people have in the past? Or is this just a rich person thing?]

[shotgunsolutions]

[It's a rich person thing. Also a 'dress for the life you want to live' thing.]

Oh. Alright. If you don't like them I won't continue.

[Yes he will, just more subtly. He doesn't know how to show affection without giving gifts.]

[aboveand]

[Terry is quite happy living the life he has right now, thank you.]

I appreciate the gesture, though. It's just... a lot.

[shotgunsolutions]

It's only a suit.

[Granted, a very expensive one, but hardly something to be so worried over. Not in his mind.]

But I'm glad you appreciate it.

[aboveand]

[It's only the start of a slippery slope, if nothing else.]

We're still on for that dinner, I take it?

[Because why not slide down deeper?]

[shotgunsolutions]

Absolutely! How does the 15th sound?

[aboveand]

Sure. Works for me.
