Kinzaki continued to give her icy glare towards Aleph.

"Then, don't do it. If you still have doubts, don't do it. While life itself is a gamble, where you have to make your own choices, but in this case, it's about whether you have to do it or not," her tone continued to soften before she placed her hand on her forehead. Her anger somehow caused her to have a headache.

Perhaps she's going overboard with her lashing.

"If you have a choice to avoid it, then don't do it..." Kinzaki said, her anger finally receded. "If you think it's not going to work, don't do it..." then, she looked at Aleph. "And don't hide your face. A man should be able to take what I'm going to say..."

She turned her back before she continued. "I'm trying to help you, and in turn, you need to help yourself," Kinzaki said. "Don't worsen things by pulling this stunt anymore..." then, she looked at Subaru. "Subaru-kun, will you please bring Serizawa-san to the dressing room? I'll be there shortly after this. I need to cool down for a bit," she sighed.

"Understood, Ojou-sama," Subaru nodded. "Serizawa-san, please follow me. We're going to the dressing room..."

"And... Serizawa-san..." Kinzaki said, still having her back facing Aleph. "I apologize for my inelegant outburst. I do think that I went overboard with my anger..." she said. Because her back was facing Aleph, no one would be able to see her face.

Aleph listened to Kinzaki as she continued to speak. He looked at her, having saw that she finally began to calm down. When she got to the part about Aleph hiding his face, Aleph pulled the hood off his head completely. In his mind's eye, Adonis was rolling his eyes.

Like she knows jack shit about men....pffff. She's practically terrified of them. She's clearly never met a man like you, Master.

Well, at least she tries. At least she's polite about the whole "men are poison" thing.

And at least Kinzaki apologized for the outburst. When Subaru showed Aleph the way out, Aleph sighed. He then got up from his seat and followed Subaru to wherever and whatever the hell a "dressing room" was.

When Subaru was leading Aleph towards this 'dressing room', she started to speak. "It's understandable if she's angry at you," she started. "You screwed up, and screwed up hard. As her father's successor, she prides herself for having disciplined subordinates, and with you fooling around, it may hurt her pride a bit," she said calmly.

After taking a turn, Subaru continued. "And I'll say this," she glanced at Aleph. "You should accept what people have said to you, provided that they can help you to improve. I have a feeling that you're snarking about whatever criticism you're given," her tone went icy as well. "Or it's your Persona who's getting snarky. Knowing your personality, it's not a new thing to think that your Persona may call my Ojou-sama as 'bitch'..."

Then, the butler shrugged. "Well, it's just my assumption, and there's no way I can prove it..." her tone returned back to normal. "But if it's true, I'd rather see you remain silent instead of denying it. Or if it's false, you have to remain silent as well. If you lie to me, it'll make you much worse than you usually are. For the sake of your own improvement, you know?" so, after walking for a bit, they finally arrived in front of this 'dressing room'.

"Alright, here we are," she said, standing in front of the door.

Aleph walked along with Subaru as listened as the butler man talked. To Aleph, he seemed a just as pissed as Kinzaki. Probably more pissed than he let on at the moment. Aleph looked down at the floor as the butler talked about Kinzaki and her pride.

Hmph. If that's all she prides herself on, then clearly the bitch has no life of her own. Hell if she's this much of a bitch, then how come she's not the man in her relationship with this Alexis chick?

I'm not sure if that works the same way as guy-on-guy, but whatever.

Then, strangely enough, when Subaru mentioned about Aleph snarking about critiscism, he mentioned about his Persona snarking about critiscism as well. Aleph tried to open his mouth to say something, but quickly shut it.

Subaru was right about his Persona being snarky....right down to the words.

....What the fuck? How does he know that? What, he can read minds?

Aleph now felt extremely uncomfortable talking with Subaru at that moment. It was what he assumed about Aleph and his Persona, Adonis. And he was right down to the core. Aleph always snarked about everyone, be it out loud or otherwise, and his Persona was always eager to join in the sentiment. Aleph now knew how much his actions were self-centered, reckless, and even childish seeing as how Adonis seemed like a mere representation of said self-centeredness.

Oh, joy. Symbolism.

Aleph just nodded and kept walking until they finally arrived to the 'dressing room'. Aleph stood and waited for Kinzaki to arrive. In truth, he had no idea what to do at this point, seeing as how Subaru more or less vaccuumed the words right out of him.

Subaru displayed a small smile when Aleph was silent. If what she had say was true, she thought that she might have hit something that caused him to not be able to retort, and if it's false, then it's a smile of encouragement.

"Whoa, as expected from the perfect butler~"

"Shut it, lamb chop."

"Aww, don't be such a killjoy~"

Subaru sighed when Dumuzid spoke inside her head. She went towards the door, putting her hand on the knob before she opened the door, revealing a room filled with clothes.

"For today's lesson..." she looked at Aleph's clothing. "We're going to do something on your appearance so people can take you seriously."

Subaru did definitely hit something on Aleph. And it sure wasn't his groin, thank God. That would've hurt. Again. Aleph looked inside the room as Subaru opened the door. The 'dressing room', true to its name, was filled with all sorts of clothes and fabric-type things.

When Subaru mentioned something about changing Aleph's appearance, he looked at the outfit he was wearing right now, then tugged at the hoodie. Sure, it wasn't the best outfit in the world. But at least it wasn't anything showy, much to Adonis' spite.

You look like a jackass.

Thanks.

What an asshole. Aleph nodded to Subaru. "Uhh.." Aleph said. "Okay."

So, Subaru entered the dressing room. "First, you need something that can make you to easily blend into society," then, she took a white shirt with blue sleeves and a pair of khaki pants. "Well, these ones look good," she gave Aleph those clothes. "Please try them on. You can go there," she pointed at one small chamber which was a changing room.

"Please tell me if you need some help," she told Aleph.

So the lesson was starting. Aleph wasn't sure how changing his appearance would make people take him seriously, aside from making him look more authority-ish. Aleph followed Subaru into the dressing room and listened as he talk. He then looked at the outfit. It did look good, in general.

As for opinions....

...meh.

As long as his Persona didn't object, Aleph didn't object. He took the outfit without question and went to the changing room to try it on. A moment later, he came back out wearing the new outfit and holding the original one in his hands. He walked out and stood in front of Subaru. The khakis felt somewhat awkward, Aleph thought. Maybe it's just the fabric. Whatever fabric khakis were made out of. Denim? Cotton? Polyester? Nylon? Wool? Or even a combination blend of fabrics?

Oh, well.

Subaru took a good look on Aleph after he's done putting on the clothes. Stroking her own chin, she moved around the boy, inspecting him. "It doesn't look bad, but I believe we're lacking something here. It makes you become unnoticed in a crowd..." she shook her head. "That won't do it..."

So, she took another set of clothes, which was black turtleneck, long-sleeved shirt and denim black pants. She handed the clothes to Aleph. "Please try these instead," she ordered.

Unnoticed in a crowd was what Aleph probably needed at this point, given the extremely depressing and always chaotic situation at hand.

But, seriously? Turtlenecks?

Boooo.

In spite of Adonis' objections, Aleph took the outfit anyway and went back to the changing room, placing the original hoodie and jeans outfit on the floor. He came back out again a moment later in the turtleneck and pants. Black just seemed to Aleph as....something.

Is he trying to help you blend in or is he trying to help you drop off the face of the Earth?

It doesn't look that bad....mostly.
