[ Hello! You have reached: "Walter Sullivan". Unfortunately they cannot answer the phone right now. Leave a message after the beep and they will return your call. ]
"I bet they can! Hold on-!" Doll beamed, turning and grabbing Walter's sleeve.
"...It's an easy thing to miss." It seemed to be something everyone had to be taught. Walter hadn't realised it until he was taught after all. But he was interrupted by Doll tugging on him, excitedly pointing at Gracie and her little cape. Walter frowned, leaning forward to look it over and try to figure out what Doll wanted as she cackled to him.
"You...want me to take this off?" "No, make it!" Doll took his hand and tapped the needle against the fabric around her. Walter tried to guess again. "You want me to make it fit her...?" Doll nodded and giggled eagerly. Walter turned to Asriel.
[Asriel watches the exchange with surprise, not having noticed how quickly Gracie had made friends with one of Walter's Pokemon - but it makes him smile. After all, it was only right that Pokemon make friends with each other, too. At Walter's request, he nods.]
Yeah, of course! If that's what they'd like.
[It was better they ask Walter anyway, Asriel...wouldn't be able to make it look neat at all.]
"...come here." Walter murmured softly, gently curled a hand behind Gracie to bring her closer. He wrapped the fabric over her tiny shoulders, thinking. Her head was too large to simply sew it together and slip it onto her shoulders. He hummed, looking through his supplies. She was so small...
He picked up his kit and looked through it. "Do you have any small buttons? I think I can make it button up, here." He showed Asriel what he intended to do. With a small button, it could function like a cape for her.
Doll looked very smug, chuckling. "Told you he'd do it!"
"Do you know how to sew these on?" Even as he asked he turned slightly, so Asriel would be able to see what he was doing. It would be fiddly work admittedly because of Gracie's small size, but it was just a stud at the end of the day. If he attempted to make a more formal cape then it would have taken a lot more effort, probably more than he cared to invest in a garment for a Pokemon.
He carefully took them from Asriel and placed them where they would go, reaching for his kit to grab a pin. Doll giggled again and pulled one out of herself, giving them to Walter and waving off his murmured thanks.

"Is that...okay?" He asked hesitantly.

Um, I might have a snap thingie...hold on!
[Asriel starts to search through his kit, and sure enough, he pulls out a tiny plastic bag of sewable press-studs. He holds them out to Walter.]
These're smaller than buttons - they'll work better for her, 'cause she's so little.

[It was just a small detail of his clothes at home, but it's something he remembers, among all the other little things he knows about the Underground.
For Walter's benefit, Gracie stays quite still to let Walter do his work.]
...Thank you very much, Mister Walter.
