It had been an idle thought that started to grow.

Since the whole clothing-fighting naked disaster during the Nightmare King, Rein had been packing more than one set of plantsuit on her person. Even while the barrier jacket was nice and comfy, it was also impractical for every day life. As such, she had gone out hunting for a place and found what she was looking for. With a modern set of sewing materials, all she needed was cloth.

Cloth was a rare thing on Stacy, most of it pre-fabricated and brought up from the last big mission off world. As such, Rein had gone to W&P in search of said items. It had taken the better part of a week to find what she was looking for, and another three to four days hauling all of the cloth up, but the vast collection of cloth, lace and other fabrics were finally in place.

Switches were flipped and Rein sat down at the nearest machine, working on it. She had cast a minor animation spell on a couple of machines and they were automatically forming belts and sashes while the intricate needlework was up to her.

Soon though, she was busy working as she whistled a jaunty tune, ironically Whistle While You Work. The sign to the building was fresh and polished, reading Stormwind Clothiers and the outside of the building was wood-and-brick. The inside was meshed with old and new, mixed foot pedal and even small light armors.

Rein wore a little grin, a sign of victory as she held up her first creation, a pretty dress, pink and red and white with ruffles.

It was a dead ringer for Sakura Kinomoto's most iconic dress from her series.

Yes, Rein was making cosplay.

Beware the desu.

"Of course! It'll take a couple of days but I can definitely design something like that for you!" exclaimed Rein with a grin. "And no need, just seeing you wear clothing like that will be payment enough!"

"Really?" This was the last answer that Katara had expected to hear, and when she did, she had no choice but to hug Rein ecstatically, giggling. "You mean it? That's so great! Thank you so very much! But please allow me to do something nice for you in return someday, if you ever need it!"

"Sure! I'll get started on work on the outfit right away then!" giggled Rein.

Katara grinned, then looked a little concerned. "Um, Rein? Were you...okay, after the Nightmare King?"

Rein paused in the middle of her designing and sighed. "Truth be told, I wasn't sleeping well after it. For about... three weeks."

She rubbed her arm. "I've got some wounds that healed up after it, but it was also upsetting me on how much the crew was responding afterwards."

She couldn't remember any basics though. Which bothered her the most.

"You and me both," Katara said. "I had to do a lot of training, mental and physical, but luckily it paid off. I was...kind of a wreck then."

Katara did get a little tight lipped here. "There were a lot of things said, to be honest. I'm not exactly happy about how things turned out, but hopefully we'll be more prepared next time. I know Nanoha did everything she could."

Katara sighed. "I got some wounds too, both physical...and mental. There's a lot I don't remember anymore."

"Yeah. The weight of many shouldn't rely so heavily on one. Everyone was on edge, and things were said... it was a mess." sighed Rein.

"We'll do our best to prepare everyone when something bad happens again. Okay?"

"I hope so. I wouldn't want to have Nanoha have to shoulder all of that again. It was hard enough trying to resist the things I saw...no one should have had to deal with all of that. As for what was said...well." Katara had her own opinions of the matter. "Some things need to be, but not the way it was done. It was too similar to the last time."

She sighed. "I want us to be able to fight against whatever happens to us again, But if that's going to happen, we have to be able to work together, or it'll only be until we avoid another disaster."

"Exactly," replied Rein with a little smile. "There isn't much to do but to move forward now that it's all over, but we need to be able to play together as a team."

She grinned. "And Nanoha-san often works herself to unconsciousness. It's a bad habit of hers."

"We have more people, so it might become more difficult," Katara said. "But who knows? We might gain a few people on board who are really pushing toward getting everyone together. I know I'll be doing all that I can to help that along."

Katara giggled. "Yeah, I saw a little of that. I shouldn't have said anything about it though: that helped to start that fight with her and Fate. I still feel really bad about that."

Rein giggled and nodded. "Yeah, maybe! It'll be alright, I know it."

And Rein sighed. "Yeah, but they can't stay mad at each other for long. They're just simply incapable of being mad at each other for more than three weeks."

"I'll bet on it!" Katara said, grinning. "Let's do our best, okay?"

Here, Katara looked a little happy. "Yes, they're very sweet. I never thought of two girls liking each other in that way, but love is...well, its an amazing thing to see between two people no matter how you look at it. When you find true love, you never let that go, and it doesn't matter what anyone says. Its beautiful. I'm really glad they aren't fighting anymore."

And Katara felt that pang in her heart, but ignored it. She had no right to feel that, she thought, when it made other people happy. She just wished she had her own chance to find love like that.
