"A few ideas?" X asks, amused. "If you're going to sarcastically tell me that wearing it is always an option..."
But no, the Fool apparently has something very different in mind. The tailor's perfectly happy to wait, as long as X doesn't leave his sight, so X spends the time waiting very uncomfortably under the man's gaze, wondering how he's meant to retrieve more money if he's not allowed to leave.
Then the Fool is there, and he has his wallet out, and X's heart jumps into his throat. "No -- no, Fool, that's not fair, you didn't order it, I don't want to make you --"
The tailor, completely ignoring X's protest, gives the price. He holds the coat out at the same time, as though the sight of it will help make its cost a little more palatable.
