[ He gazes at what's lined behind the wide window, he has never went shopping for this assortment of clothing before, only Kashuu was lucky since him and Midare seemed to have an understanding of looking good. When it comes to the uchigatana, he thinks about the pros and cons of what a longer skirt would do for lets say, a shorter skirt. What reactions could he gain and would it make his foe hesitant or not. It's hard to make a final answer while standing outside but he does walk towards the window, every so often turning around to make sure that Horikawa is behind him. ]

I don't know what to think, as long as they can fit me, is what matters, right?

[ Not the fashion, but he doesn't know. He blinks one of two times as he notices Horikawa looking at him, analyzing and then turning around. At first, Yamato wonders if it's the way the light shines down from the sky that reflects Horikawa's eyes to look different but maybe that's not it. ] But if you think this place is good enough, we can give it a shot.

Mm, well for your purposes, I don't know? It might be best if we try to find something stylish, especially if we're going to go to all the trouble in the first place. [Not that this is an overly troublesome expedition, especially considering Horikawa hasn't slacked at all in ensuring that he can keep his clothes here up to date with what seems best for the period, but "as long as it fits" doesn't quite seem to be the right motto when it comes to this kind of thing? Anyway, as long as Yamato is fine with it, Horikawa can ignore the staring for a moment to pass him by, holding the door open for Yamato to pass through before entering himself.]

Even if there's nothing here, then we'll know which styles not to look for in the future. Since we'll learn something useful, I think that's good enough.

Something stylish? Does that mean something short? [ Once the door is open for him to enter in, he takes a step inside and does thank Horikawa for the kind gesture. He's happy that even though so much has went on here, that he's polite either way and still looks out for him. The uchigatana could have opened the door for himself, but the wakizashi seems to find some way to always be useful. Endearing as he hums slightly as the bell above them jingles and gives a sign that they're new customers. ]

Aren't you up to date on which styles are good or not, both you and Izuminokami Kanesada seemed to be the type to have a fashion sense.. along with Kiyomitsu. [ As he makes his way towards a couple of skirts hanging on a few racks, he doesn't know which are good and which would be bad so he hopes for Horikawa's helpful eye. ] May you come here?

Eh? Well, it could... [He's seen no shortage of such since arriving here! Though there's still quite a number of longer skirts, especially with the approaching winter; maybe that can be left more up to Yamato's preferences. In any case, he nods along, walking up to follow and take a look at the rack of skirts he's found, and ー Ah... Yeah, some of those are really short.]

Do you need something? [He'll start flipping through one end of the rack just in case, glancing back to Yamato as he does.] Hmm, I do my best! But if it's someone like Kanesan or Kiyomitsu-kun, they feel a lot more talented with this sort of thing. Even so... [A little bit absently, he pulls out a skirt that seems to have a more flattering style compared to the others, and holds it up.] I hope I can stil be of some help with this!

[ The whole thing of looking for clothes is quite endearing since Horikawa knows wha to look for, even Yamato is lost to the known of skirts and such. Looking at the other as he comes close to help him, he can't help but laugh just a little bit as he glaces at the article of clothing that the male has chosen. It's something. Not as bad as the others but Yamato looks at his hakama, before looking up at that. ]

Do you think people like that sort of thing? Ah.. It looks nice, I'm sure you've learned alot from Izuminokami Kanesada to put into practice so I trust your decisions. Do you think that one is best?

[Hmm, well he did catch that reaction that accompanied the thought that the skirt he picked out is something, not to mention the glance down at his hakama that followed. Despite the reassurances that he knows best due to his time with Kanesan, he sets the piece back on the rack with little more than a sigh and a smile.]

That's no good, Yasusada-kun. Even if I have experience with looking for things like this, I won't be the one wearing them. The best clothes are ones that you like too, or at least ones that you feel best in.

[WELL, aside from their uniform, which he assumes goes without saying situationally. Instead, he'll tug Yamato along to another nearby shelf, with the pieces hung up on the edges to see. He won't wait before he inspects it himself, plucking down one or two, but obviously seems to expect Yamato to try and find something too, judging from the looks he throws over his shoulder]

[ Does Yamato really have to look for something himself, as they move to another side of the shop to find something — he wanders off to find something that he could like. Looking through the various articles of clothing that he could wear. He continues to look at his legs every so often, grabbing a skirt to press against his leg as he raises up his hakama. It's made of silk and feels nice against his skin but it's also rather short which makes him think that isn't for him. ]

Huh.. maybe something more.. [ Grabbing the longest and grandma skirt that he can find that's made of satin. ] Horikawa Kunihiro, what do you think of this?

[ Holding it up for the other to see, it's probably not the best choice and it reminds many people of their elders who think they still got it. Please make Yamato put it away. ]

Yasusada-kun, that's... [It's worse than anything he's gotten so far, to be honest? But Horikawa has a kind heart, and a helpful heart, and a heart that will gently redirect him in a better direction for now. He shakes his head apologetically.] I don't think that's quite what we're looking for. Ah, but it is helpful for finding out what you like!

[SO... He's just going to... take that from Yamato's hands and shelf it. Goodbye, abomination.

Though, having taken note of the length, he unhooks one of the skirts that he'd picked up just in case as an alternative. Hopefully the fact that it's not quite as short as the others will be a bit more comfortable for Yamato; besides that, they'll have plenty of time to find... more stylish full length skirts, eventually.]

How about this one, do you like it?

[ But, the floral pattern that all shaped together to be a big hot mess? That was Yamato's ideal, that outfit and now it's been placed back on the shelf to never be seen again. How upsetting, he doesn't know what he'll do with himself but it's gone now. Never to be seen again. ] Why isn't it? People here are so picky on the ones they want to rob or kill. [ Normally it was just go for what looks easy but style plays such a role into it that Yamato is slightly amazed. ]

Hm? [ Yamato holds no depth of fashion so he'd probably like anything, grabbing the article of clothing from Horikawa's hand as he places it against his body — an act that he's seen Kashuu do before, there is confusion layered all over his face. He remembers how his mirror would state that he knew what outfit was for him so it makes Yamato wonder, maybe Horikawa would know? ]

Do you think this one is for me? How do I tell? It's a nice color, easy on the eyes!

Edited 2015-11-23 20:20 (UTC)

[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..

[There's some great monster propaganda in these newspapers too? Well, mostly it's just references to those old pamphlets that Horikawa supposes must have been popular some time in the past. Something about bear-fish and Count Chocula. Horikawa has never heard of any of these monsters, but he'll be learning something or another to tell stories about for later, he supposes. His mind continues to wander off the topic as he waits, but every time he brings it back with another crinkling and flip of the page. Is there anything useful in here?]

[ Now, he's ready to come out of the changing room. Five more minutes and the door knob turns to show that someone is coming out. Pushing it open slowly and peeking out just a moment, he fully comes out with his leg free, socks still on but the skirt that's just a little up from his knees. Maybe he needs to wear something longer, what if his legs get cold? A hand pressing at the fabric of the clothes to rub out a crease he's noticed before speaking. ]

Horikawa Kunihiro?

[ Blinking at him who's looking through a magazine and also smoking, he's not really familiar with them but it reminds him of a pipe people use to use. ] Does that.. even taste good?

[When Yamato finally comes out, Horikawa's attention snaps back immediately. Actually, when he steps out of the changerooms, he's almost caught off-guard. It's a surreal experience seeing Yamato outside the normal traditional clothes that he usually wears, especially the Shinsengumi uniform, but nonetheless he finds this outfit to be flattering. There's a smile of approval, though it quickly shifts to confusion.]

Eh? Well, I guess it's just relaxing. Why?

[ He'll take that smile as a good thing as he stares at the smoke that's coming from what he's puffing. Yamato hasn't ever done such a thing as smoke because it's not for him, has anyone seen Souji's lungs? ] Is that so? Have you always picked up that habit? I don't remember it much at the Citadel.

[ But, seeing someone twirl around in an outfit for the person inspecting. Yamato does the same as the skirt flows just nicely and then softly lays against his legs. ] Do you think this suits me or does it need anything more? Should I find something better? [ Is he doing this justice? ]
