"Are you sure my tie's straight? I don't really know about this.... Does it look like I'm overdressed? She said it was just a semi-casual dress, right? Or was it me who said that? My hair's a mess, isn't it?" Zelos sighed in front of the full length mirror in the hotel room. He passed a hand through his now much shorter hair that fell back to his shoulders. It was only a few months ago when he decided to have his hair cut after heavy perusasion from his friends after the candy 'accident'. Even now, the ex-chosen was still not quite used to it ending short when he ran his hands through his hair when he was stressed. His hands came back up to his neck to adjust a navy necktie. A plain white dress shirt covered Zelos' torso tucked into a pair of black slacks held up by dark brown suspenders. "Maybe I should say we should do this another day? I think I heard the weather was going to bad tonight...."

"You are worrying yourself too much about this, Zelos." Regal stood up from a seat across the room. He also had a haircut but it was only a few inches shorter to keep his long hair neat and well kept. He no longer wore his handcuffs on his wrists to express his past sins but still kept his cuffs near for sentimental value. Regal was dressed in casual clothing showing he did not carry any plans of going out tonight like Zelos. "You are just making your tie even more crooked. Let me fix that." the tall martial artist walked up to Zelos and straightened his tie. "Now don't try to straighten it again. It's fine now. Don't worry so much about everything, Zelos. You need to remain calm, filling your mind with what ifs will only cause you to stress even more about a night where you're suppose to be enjoying yourself. Now, put on your vest and coat and finish preparing yourself. Do you not wish for her to wait for you, correct?"

Zelos walked over to a nearby chair where the last two articles of his clothing drapped over and grabbed his vest. "Yeah, you're right...." he sighed and slipped on his black vest over his white shirt. "Heh, it would be pretty bad if I was the one who kept her waiting. Everything will be fine, yeah. I just need to be cool. I've been with many hunnies and they all had fun, this shouldn't be too different from those nights. Just need to use the old Wilder charm." The young man finished putting on his dark navy coat and adjusted it slightly to fit with the rest of his clothing.

"Right. Now don't use too much of that 'Wilder charm' on her. You have gained a number of slaps and other attacks from your attempts at wooing. Keep things in moderation." Regal crossed his arms in front of his broad chest after giving his advice. He hoped that the young man would take the words of a wiser person for just this night.

Zelos tapped his fingertips on the sides of his neck to place lightly scented colonge on himself, "Right right... I'm just going out for dinner, nothing less, nothing more." he took a very deep breath and sighed, "Stay cool, Zelos." He stretched his arms out in front of the mirror and looked at himself. "How do I look? Do you think she'll like it?"

"Hmm, it is not overly dressed for the occasion but it is enough to suffice. I believe it is a well chosen suit for you, Zelos. The navy matches with your hair. I am sure she will enjoy it." the nobleman smiled and gave Zelos an affirmative nod. "Now go and don't leave her waiting any longer."

"Heheh... thanks for your help, Regal." Zelos shook his hand, "This really means a lot to me. Wish me luck on my date tonight."

Regal put a hand on Zelos' shoulder, "You just remind me of how I was when I was a young man before one of my earlier dates.... Good luck."
