"To find a happy medium will certainly be a challenge, one I do not think everyone can or will be able to accomplish. A worthy goal to aspire to."

She regarded him silently for a moment. It was a pity he was a Mantis.

"Well, what you're wearing now isn't bad at all. Decent nice casual," Hyeon-ju pivoted the conversation to his attire. "For a man, you can accessorize more to make even a plain shirt and pants have a more dressed up look. Sunglasses, watches or simple jewelry like a wrist-band or gloves. Keep your shirt tucked in, and don't button up all the way."

"Agreed." He replied with a wry smile, raising his hand to call over the bartender as they arrived back at the bar.

"I see." Hayato offered thoughtfully, reaching a hand up to touch the buttons on his shirt. "Any particular number of buttons though?" Did you unbutton it half way down? Or maybe just two or three?"

"Accessories are something I can do though." He avoided it because over accessorizing did seem very much mantis. "I suppose its something along the line of the more expensive the better, as long as they are tasteful?"

"Not too much. Otherwise it just looks kind of sleazy." She tapped her own spot right around the collarbone. "About there, that's a good spot. Show some, but not all."

"As for accessories, price isn't the important part as long as it looks good with what you're wearing. Some of course think that's most important what brand or manufacturer is behind it, but I think appearance is most important. Tasteful is the goal, yes."

He nodded, though he didn't take the advice right away. It was admittedly somewhat embarrassing to unbutton the top two buttons of his shirt right in front of an attractive woman at a club.

"Good to know, I wouldn't want to come off as sleazy." That would defeat the point after all. "I suppose I'll go by the department store in the next day or two though, pick up a few odds and ends."

"Anything else you might suggest?" He smirked and ran a hand through his hair. "Probably tidy up my haircut or something?"

Hyeon-ju gave the hair a scrutinizing look. "Maybe? I mean, it's fine now for clubbing. But if you want to impress the ladies, or the gents, slicking it back might look good?"

"I'll consider it then." He smirked. "If i find myself on any dates in the near future at least." Which was strangely likely, unlike other portions of his life.

"I wish you the best of luck."

She smirked briefly. "Another round of drink then, before we're considering returning to the inn?"

"Wouldn't hurt." Well, it might hurt his balance, but at least he seemed done with dancing for the evening.

"More of the same? Or have something else in mind?" He asked raising an eyebrow questioningly

"Hmmm... I'll try the Blazing Tail. That looks interesting." They had some pretty interesting names for their drinks.

"Huh, sounds like it should be spicy." Hayato observed as he looked at the menu, he recalled being a little disappointed when he realized it was not.

"Let me know if it's any good?" He continued as he placed the order for the two of them. Though he went with a simple shochu on the rocks this time around.

A simple choice for him, but not a bad one. Sometimes the classics were classics for a reason.

"Will do." It would be a... disappointing choice. A bit too sweet for her when it came to alcohol.
