Cultural Notes (Fantasy Setting)
Even in a world with werewolves and vampires, politeness (예의 – ye-ui) in professional interactions, like between a tailor and a client, remains important. Using formal language (존댓말 – jon-daen-mal) like the -ㅂ니다/습니다 (-m-ni-da/seum-ni-da) and -시- (-si-) honorific markers shows respect.
Discretion (비밀 유지 – bi-mil yu-ji) is paramount when dealing with sensitive requests, such as hiding fangs. Both parties would understand the need for privacy and subtlety in their discussion and the final product.
Understanding the client’s specific needs (고객의 요구 사항 – go-gaeg-ui yo-gu sa-hang) is crucial. The tailor needs to ask detailed questions to ensure the cloak functions exactly as required for the vampire’s unique physiology and social needs.
Trust (신뢰 – sil-loe) between the service provider (werewolf tailor) and the client (vampire) is essential, especially when dealing with potentially identifying features. The tailor’s expertise and the client’s clear communication build this trust.
