"I... uh, don't think she'll go for it, Doc," Moist opined.

"Well, I don't know, I'm sure she'll be open to the idea. She might even like it. I think it's very... erm..." Doctor Horrible's eyes stared blankly into the distance as his mind worked on producing an appropriate adjective.

"Skanky?"

"Flattering!-- is what I was going for," the Doctor said quickly, though not quickly enough, because now that Moist said it, he had to admit, the new henchgirl uniform he was holding fit that description neatly.

It was a labcoat, though, so thematically it was fitting, albeit quite tight and very short. Very, very short, indeed.

"Where did you get it from, anyway?" Moist asked, still watching the article of clothing with fascination.

"The Purple Pimp's personal tailor," Doctor Horrible admitted, his ears going slightly red. Now that he thought about it, perhaps asking a man called 'Purple Pimp' for fashion advice was his initial mistake.

Moist was apparently on his way to make a similar comment, but Mila chose that exact moment to enter the room. Moist whipped around guiltily, but Doctor Horrible froze into place with the damnable exploitative labcoat still in hand.

"Oh, is that my new henchgirl costume?" Mila asked, peering at Doctor Horrible expectantly.

"Um... well, it... uh... it's certainly... it certainly looks like it, doesn't it?" the Doctor managed to choke out, appending it with a nervous chuckle.

"Now, see, I can't wear that," Mila huffs without any real outrage.

"Absolutely not!"

"No, no, sure you can't!" Moist and Doctor Horrible exchanged glances as they yelled out these statements at the same time. Because they were evil and they could certainly imagine Mila in the skimpy outfit, but that was a very long way from scrounging up the courage to actually tell her to wear it.

"I mean, I don't even shave my legs that high," she added over her shoulder, as she passed into the next room.

And both Moist and Doctor Horrible knew Mila was evil, because now they could not do even as little as imagine her in it.

Wicked woman.
