"I was raised a prince in a more martially-minded society, that for all our advancements also bear similarities to this realm we find ourselves in now. Had you been in a different era in your world, you might be more familiar too." Just pointing that out.

"Now, what I recommend is you go for something similar to what I wear, but with your own tastes and customization. I actually have two sets of armor here, and will be showing you a third and explaining why I think they would be good guides for you. You'll be using daggers and knives, much like I do, and only hand-to-hand when you need to or it's convenient to blend in with the knife-fighting. That's much of what I do, hence why I'm recommending similar to my own." Laying out his reasoning. "Questions or comments?"

"I think I understand," Seto nodded, eyes darting around and committing details. He could probably manage a fit like that.

"Is comfort something you have to consider with all day wear?"

"Comfort is a malleable term. Your armor should be comfortable enough that you can wear it all day and all night if need be. But that is mostly achieved by good fit and material that suits, as it does depend on the type of armor." Loki got to his feet.

"You recall what I was wearing earlier, or shall I show you again?"

Seto nodded along, picturing it in his mind.

"I remember. Felt how sharp it was," he snorted softly. "Not that I can count on my enemies to clumsily crash into me at high speeds."

"I am sorry about that." Loki murmured. "It's a combination of leather and light-mail. Easy to move in and fight in, and different from my brother's own or the warriors three, or Lady Sif." Loki let a shimmer of green was over him, placing in an outfit that Kaiba had seen before. If he remembered, from when they first met. "This is also armor, in that it's entirely leather, and I have indeed fought in it. The other is more suited for a winter climate, which is why I wished for it to be returned."

Loki turned his head a bit, then back to face Kaiba with a wry smile. "The cape is optional, really. There is one more variation I would show you, mostly because I will suggest we model any you look into after it."

Seto waved a hand with a little smile. It was all fine. "It's in the past, we lived. I've had worse."

And then he took in the next set of armor with a wild smile. "I like that...but I've always liked a dramatic silhouette. The flared coats are more my thing."

That made Loki laugh. "Funny you should say that." HE replied with a wink.

There was another shift of green over his form, putting him in yet another form of armor. "This is probably the look that I am most infamous for, especially with my helm and cape."

Seto nodded approvingly, taking mental note. "I prefer silvers and blues, but...I can work with something similar. But I wonder if the cape might be slight overkill."

A fond, gentle tease.

"Oh I do think if you go for the cape, you get your own look. Be as dramatic as you can." Loki teased back with a smirk, and let green wash over him. He had no scepter, but standing to his full height with correct posture and a slight change to how he carried himself, and it was very clear how commanding and dramatic this look could be.

Seto took notes once more, wondering what he could do with a look like that...

"Mm, you're an excellent teacher in that regard. I don't think the helm's for me, but...the rest, I like."

"Oh this place hasn't seen me be dramatic." Loki said with a wicked smirk. But the wash of green faded overall to leave him back in his normal clothing for Somnius. "Truthfully, unless you're used to it, I don't recommend a cape for you. What I recommend is like that armor over all though. A base layer with some maile and some leather armor, sturdy boots, bracers for you, and a long leather overcoat that doubles as a layer of protection."

Seto flashed a matching grin. He had to wonder what that was like...

"I can work with that. So I'll drop by the tailors' as soon as this nightmare's over?"

"There are parts where a blacksmith might be involved as well. In which case I do recommend Red Son's forge still. We'll have to look into it all, since I doubt you've ever had to deal with arranging armor." A more natural smile.
