Wilder was an opinionated man. The many compliments he received when wearing the borrowed outfit went through one ear and out the other. The material felt nice on his skin, sure. He looked like a man of money, no doubt. Perhaps he’d be mistaken for a business man if he tried adopting a new attitude. It could be interesting to see what he could get away with if he lived out the day pretending to be someone like Ren.
However, Wilder was a man of expression. The more layers, ornaments, annoying details, the more he enjoyed himself. It didn’t matter if the metal accessories that hugged his skin on his usual outfits threatened to burn him after hours under the hot sun, or that his heels fell through the damp earth in the early mornings, making travel by foot a trial of patience over stamina. Pain was beauty. Except the only pain Wilder was experiencing in Ren’s outfit was the pain trying to look as good as the owner himself.
At one point he’d even tried styling Ren’s outfit. Unbuttoning the dress shirt to reveal more skin, using magic to grow out his hair for the sole purpose of refashioning the necktie into a hair tie, he even switched up eyeshadow palettes to give his look a little more zing.
But there was no use, he concluded after a long lackadaisical hour of staring into a mirror. Wilder just didn’t look good in blue.
“I don’t have your golden locks to pull off the look.” Was what he told Ren upon returning the outfit, now wrinkled from his time spent fighting with it. And there maaaay even be some splotches of glitter Wilder had failed to notice. “On you it’s like- a blue sky and sunlight. Nice on the eyes. On me it’s, uh..” He tilts his head right to left, as if a comparison would come to him faster that way. “Blue with the red hair makes me look like a yogurt cup, y'know?”
