HOTEL LEX - FLOOR 5 (5/?) (Patreon)

You take a right.

You spot the door Charly was talking about and quickly jump inside. You close the door as soon as the bunny's tail clears the gap and take a quick breath. Both of you turn around to see a space much larger than the storage room. You peek down rows and rows of what seems like never-ending rolls of fabric and boxes stacked up along shelves and walls. You can't help but glide your hand across soft velvet as you pass by. Now that you've made it here, you're not quite sure what kind of disguises would work best. Perhaps a change of clothes would be nice but you'd have to make your own.

The bunny tugs at your tail and points up. Your eyes follow his paw to a sign that says 'TAILORING.'

"P-perhaps we could make something q-q-quick," he says, reading your mind.

You agree and start searching for suitable material for disguises of some sort. Though you've never sewn or used a machine in your life, how hard could it be? You pull out a couple rolls of plush white fleece and blue fur and carry them toward the sign. The rows of shelving clear up and you find a large counter with signs plastered all over; the largest one saying, 'OFF FOR BREAK.' You help the bunny carry his chosen rolls over to a large table with shears and string.

"I-I think if we m-made something to cover o-ourselves, we'll blend in," the bunny proposes. "W-what about a onesie?"

You nod your head, not sure where to even begin but your companion picks up the nearest pair of scissors and starts cutting with extraordinary speed. You watch in amazement as he drafts out line after line and before you know it, he has multiple pieces of fabric laid out. He flicks a switch and the sewing machine light turns on. The machine hums softly into the studio. You dare not say anything lest you bother his concentration. You may have secretly thought the bunny clumsy but oh, how wrong you were. He works with extreme finesse and precision with the materials and tools before him. And as soon as he starts, he finishes and he pulls out a large piece of garment. He wipes his forehead and then is startled by your gaze.

"O-oh! I-it's just something I picked up in my off time, N-Nan used to teach me how to use a sewing needle w-when I was young and I-I j-just kind of kept at it. I don't quite know your size s-s-so I just eyeballed it, h-here."

You manage to reply amazement from what you just witnessed and he hands the clothing over to you slightly embarrassed.

"Oh, I-it's nothing..." he says, covering his blush with his large ear.

He grabs his rolls of material while you don the dragon onesie, it's white fleece detailed with the blue underbelly of scales. It fits you perfectly.

Suddenly, you hear the sound of a door opening and you flinch. The bunny immediately stops mid stitch and looks over at you.

"I thought I heard something. They're definitely in here," you hear a gruff voice say.

You both exchange panicked looks. Realizing there's no way he's finishing his disguise, you grab his hand and duck down behind the counter.

"Call for help," says another voice. "We can't let them escape!"
