I'm not certain that there are any horses here, sir.
[Monster horses, maybe? Kelpies?? Please don't show Kaoru a kelpie's eyes. But oh, Yamato's actually a little more observant than credited for initially! (Which is sad, considering it doesn't take a lot of observational skills at all to be able to figure out that Kaoru is dressed for the Edo era...)]
There are many divisive politics occurring, that much is true.

There are a lot of strange things here but.. they have weird rolling ones.. they're not horses. Something like carts? [ Take out the T and you got it! But man, he just want horse eyes but it's okay, he's going to get better eyes soon. ]
Huh? Like what? Do you think you could tell me? I remember the time where we had to protect the Shogunate, keeping them in power but we also had a lot on our plates. [ Ugh, rascals like Mutsunokami. Ugh. Who knows if he's still running, if Yamato closes his eyes, he can still hear his little pitter patters in the distance. ]

Rolling carts?
[Don't carts already roll? Isn't that the point?? Kaoru has no idea what the shit Yamato is talking about.
This is also probably a topic that shouldn't be discussed with new acquaintances, honestly. Politics and warfare! It's never pleasant. Good thing Kaoru doesn't care.]
Perhaps we're from a similar time period, then? It was Keio 3 for me. [Or about winter 1867, by the Western calendar.]

[Listen...... Exactly! And now with that abomination out of sight and out of mind in the abyss for the next ten years, they can focus on getting Yamato something or another that he might like. His brows draw together in an expression which shows that he isn't exactly fond of the wording Yamato's chosen for his reply either, but nonetheless, he can't really argue with it.]
Mm, well, being attacked isn't... [For him, personally, that's not the goal. HOWEVER!] I thought it would be nice to get you some variety, that's all! You seemed interested, so...
[It makes sense? Anyway, he eyes the skirt as Yamato holds it in front of him. The fact he's still wearing his full Shinsengumi uniform makes it tough to tell, but it doesn't look unflattering. So, Horikawa grins, nodding as he does.] Yes! I think it suits you ー you don't mind it either, right? I picked a few more, just in case. [And so, he hands over the rest of the clothing he'd collected: mostly skirts, but there are a couple blouses in there too. It feels really strange picking out this kind of clothing when it's for Yamato of all people, he has to admit, but he hopes that they wind up comfortable for the other nonetheless.]

[ He can't be picky when it comes to clothes that he knows nothing about. Already grateful that Horikawa is even doing this much to be honest. Looking at his choices that doesn't look as terrible or like an atomic bomb that hit a dirty rag. ] Huh.. These are really nice, Horikawa Kunihiro! I wonder if people would really like this stuff when I go out hunting. Though, you have an eye for these things.
[ He hopes that he'd be able to pull off such a style, so with all of them in his hands of different lengths and decorations, his own runed eyes look towards his comrade. ] I wish dressing like this helped you, I realized you eat different than everyone else. But that isn't so bad, I'll have to find a way.. maybe... I could.. Hm.
[ He tries his best as he then looks to the side. ] I wonder.. where can I see if any of this fits.

Eh? You don't have to worry about that, Yasusada-kun ー it isn't ideal, but I'm perfectly fine, so please concern yourself with your own first! [There's a brief pause, and then...] And maybe, it isn't a good idea to talk of such things while we're in the store?
[THERE ARE HUMANS HERE YASUKUN... What if they get scared and hike up the price for these clothes? They cannot afford these kinds of mistakes so an apologetic smile is offered up with the warning, before he decides to turn in what may not be the best judgement he could make. Waving an arm to catch an employee's attention, he waits until they've just (cautiously) approached into talk-range before checking with them.]
Excuse me, do you have change rooms here? [A quick glance back to Yamato as an afterthought, though.] Are you sure you don't want to look at anything else?

[ There's a tilt of his head as he stares at the other, not understanding what's wrong with discussing their eating methods. Luckily for Yamato, he doesn't have the weird urge to eat bodies like them or make them wet which Horikawa seems to do ー or what Yamato believes. ]
But. [ While someone finally braved to come to the two monsters. ] You're going to drown one of these workers one day, right? [ Maybe Yamato should shut his mouth because the worker is shaking.. how scary. But they are happy to help, hopefully that makes them live longer as they point at the skirts in Yamato's hands. ]
NPC: If your girlfriend wants to try out any clothes, all she has to do is go through these double doors.
[ Yamato isn't paying attention to the humans words as he looks curiously at Horikawa's pants. ] Should I also.. look for pants? ..I'm only ever going to wear my hakama.

YaーYasusada-kun!?
[HIS JAW LITERALLY DROPS @GOD WHY IS YAMATO LIKE THIS? He waves his hands in a frantic motion that clearly indicates that No? He does not intend to drown any of these employees? (It may happen as a coincidence but that's a different matter altogether!?) He bows quickly out of habit to the employee rushing something or another of an apology before turning to Yamato once more.] Jeez, Yasusada-kun, you can't just say something like that! It's not the case at all, you know.
[He, too, was too distracted by Yamato being his usual menace self to catch the girlfriend comment, so today they're a couple it seems.]
Ah, also, thank you. I'll keep that in mind! [Towards the staff member. Since apparently, Yamato's not yet done with what he has.] Well, it could be good to have them for when we do laundry; you can't wear the same dirty clothes forever?

[ What's the fuss, he doesn't understand. Everyone is a potential meal one day but knowing that Horikawa is having a head time dealing with what he's saying, he closes his mouth and gives a nod. What is he supposed to say when he speaks the truth? Figuring that he'll have this conversation with him later, he turns towards the worker to figure out what he should do with what's in his hands. ] Well, I can clean my own clothes and while I do that, I'm sure I can find another to wear.
[ Listen, he can't just give up his beloved outfit. ] Do you think there's other clothes I should try on here then? [ Since Horikawa sounds so worried about the whole entire deal. ] I guess I should get more clothes then.. just to have variety but what if I don't end up wearing them?

[He hates to say it, but it really is a relief when Yamato lets the subject fall ー not that the staff will stop eyeing him with whispers anyway. Alas, Horikawa is the only one comforted by this. For Yamato's questions, he shakes his head.]
Until we figure out what you do and don't like, we should probably wait. I'm sure there are clothes you would be interested in at other stores too, so we mustn't pick anything that you don't think you'll like to wear!
[And sure, Horikawa said variety, but the last comment makes him draw his brows together a bit uncertainly.]
It's also probably best if we only get what you think will be good. I'm sure that if you like these clothes, or find them useful, then they'll see some use, so..

[ He's only going to wear them when he goes hunting so that's the use they will see. Anything other than that will be him wearing his nice haori and hakama everywhere. No one can stop him? ] Alright, I'll go try these on.. I guess. [ Of course, with one step after the other as he walks towards the double doors to open them, he does find a large array of other monsters inside who seems intent on changing.
Shutting the door behind him, he wonders what Horikawa will do so opening it again and peeking his head out. ] May I ask what you're going to do, it feels rude to leave you out here. There's small rooms in here that I can change into.. so I wonder if you're allowed in here.
[ But then again, Yamato doesn't know how these rules work. ] Personally, I think it would be fine?

I think that they make the rooms so you can have some privacy while you're changing, I'm probably not supposed to come inside with you? [Luckily? Horikawa has a little bit more mundane common sense. Anyway, the concern from Yamato is pretty endearing, but mostly he's perfectly fine with just waiting. He's had a lot to think about lately anyway, so the time might be useful while he waits for Yamato. Though, there is one exception that strikes his mind.]
If you have any trouble with the clothes though, that would be fine. Some of them will have zippers or buttons, so if you're having troubles then I'd be happy to help! [And he's good at that, too! In the meantime, he'll sit himself in one of the waiting chairs while he waits for Yamato to disappear back inside.]

Alright! Then I'll try not to take long.
[ As he disappears back behind the closed doors, he looks as the skirts that were chosen for him and finds a room where he can change. There's many of them with all sorts of humans and even people like him who are trying to get on various things. Luckily he looks like a girl so he has a free pass. It doesn't take him long to undo his hakama so that he can put on one of them.
The first one that Horikawa had found, it has such a nice fabric and he can't help but tilt his head in admiration as he begins to take his time. But there is some gossip in the changing room next to him. ]
How interesting..

Mm! I'll be here when you finish!
[And so, when Yamato heads back in to change, Horikawa leans back in his seat a little. Not so much that he comes off sloppy rather than elegant, but he'll probably be waiting here for Yamato for a while now that he's started changing, and when the thought occurs he takes a few moments to dig into one of his pockets. Bringing the cigarette to his lips and lighting it, a long moment passes before he turns his attention again.
Maybe there's some magazines or something out here for him to read. It'd be good to know what's currently in fashion here if they're shopping for Yamato.]

[ Hearing the latest news of things that's been happening in Ryslig is quite something, people who enjoy the Gods and the hottest person they've ate so far. It's almost like a live play as they go into detail of how they ripped open the flesh and picked the muscle off the bones first because it has a taste that they like. Yamato grows too caught up in such a morbid conversation that he's yet to put the skirt around his waist.
Turning around so he can face the mirror in the room, the one skirt that's been chosen is just a little above his knees and he turns his hips both left and right. Searching for something that tells him it's too much or it's not him. ] Huh.. [ Placing a hand on his hips, he grabs at the fabric to pull it down just a bit but the waist ban slides down so he knows that won't do. ]
Hm..
