At the mention of snow, Alice blinked and reddened slightly. She had the nasty habit of forgetting herself in her work and often bemoaning over the damage to a outfit. Giving a slight cough to convert her glare into something aside from the slightly guilty frown. Preferably a smile, a nice sweet smile. This gentleman was a customer after all and they [i]did[/i] pay her bills.

"I apologize about that. I get a tad..." She frowned for a second looking for the right word. "Well, caught up in my work at times." It was a true enough fact. There had been times on close deadlines she had forgone her home to sleep in the shop simply because she was working on some design or other. "And, no! Not at all. I hope I haven't offended you with my manners." Or lack thereof. "But um... I'm having a tad difficulty with the door. If you could possibly stop by in the morning for it? It'll be done by then." Alice offered the compromise, knowning

She felt her cheeks redden even more as he wondered if she would abscond with the poor coat! As if. "It wouldn't be very professional if I did!" She raised a eloquent brow. "Asides, what good would I do with this handsome thing? I cannot wear it." Giving a cheery smile, she chuckled slightly. "My, my. It'd swallow me whole! No, I promise not to abscond with it. Clothes are meant to be worn and make people look good. Such any good tailor will tell you, Mister Sasha."
