Title: Enhancement
Rating: G
Prompt: Addiction
Summary: Sometimes the old tunic-and-breeches combo just gets so boring...

Enhancement
It starts off innocently enough. He borrows a few hair ribbons for Operation Sleeping Beauty, and ends up trying them on himself (as the intended victim was actually very much awake). There are the heels he puts on to scare Gary, followed by the ermine-trimmed cloak he uses when his own winter gear goes suspiciously missing (read: Gary’s revenge).
And then there’s the time he parades around in the skin-tight red dress for an afternoon because of that bet with Sacherell. Then he tries on the sparkly blue one, when there is no bet, only luxurious lines and the utter sparkle that draw him in like no tunic has ever before.
It says a lot about his character that it is not until he waltzes through the halls in no less than three of the above-mentioned items of clothing that his fellow squires realize something is seriously amiss. It takes a top-secret meeting, fierce debating, and copious amounts of blood, sweat, and tears - the room is stuffy, Geoffrey is horrified, and Sacherell proves himself to be an absolute baby about paper cuts - before the grim verdict is announced:
Douglass of Veldine is officially addicted to his sister’s wardrobe.
(It says even more about his character that upon hearing of this conclusion from the assigned task force, Douglass’ only reaction is to nod in understanding, then inquire cheerfully as to whether they think the blue dress or the new emerald one enhances his figure more.)
