[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? ]

I always have, Yasuada-kun. Maybe you just didn't see it often because you and Kiyomitsu-kun shared a different room. [It's all very matter-of-fact, he's kind of confused as to the curiosity shown towards such a mundane habit, but if Yamato's curious he guesses? Flicking the ashes in a nearby tray he nods to Yamato's question, though he stands up even as he does.]

It suits you! I'm glad, but I wonder... [Holding the smoke between his lips, he wanders off for a moment, reappearing with some folded up fabric in his hands to give to Yamato. If he unfolds them he'll find they're just... really long socks. They'd caught Horikawa's eye earlier, so.] The cold season is coming, so those might be more practical to wear with your outfit

Huh? I never noticed? I guess the smell of smoke is my least concern. Does Izuminokami Kanesada smoke as well? [ They all did share different rooms and Kashuu was probably not having any smoke on his beautiful clothes as we well know. ] You should be careful not to inhale so much, what if I come out with something bad on and you choke?

[ As the other wanders off and brings back something for Yamato to put on, they are long socks and they look rather nice. Looking towards the other, he does understand that the cold weather is coming. ] I've slept outside in the cold before, do you think I really need these?

[ YES. ]

Edited 2015-11-26 08:20 (UTC)

[To that Horikawa gives a noncommittal shrug. They do take after Hijikata, after all, though Kanesan tends more towards traditional tendencies of their master ー a pipe more akin to his would probably be expected from him. The concern is still no less endearing when it comes from Yamato though, so he attempts to offer reassurances aloud on that, at least.] It's no problem, Yasusada-kun. It's not exactly something I think would happen, and besides, I don't think anything we picked out will look bad on you?

[Still...... Looks at Yamato. o_o]

Yes. You slept outside in the cold, and then you were sick for weeks after. It's much more practical to just take care of yourself to begin with!

[No more.]

[ Giving thought to the long socks given to him, he stands in the area as he begins to raise his legs in order to slip them on. Rolling up the hem so that it's safely tucked under his skirt and tight around his thigh. The other one does follow suit as he rolls it up and makes sure that it's nice around his leg but maybe he should have took off his other shorter socks. Oh well, he'll be even warmer that way.

Turning just a little as if modeling his leg as he looks down, curious to what this is supposed to do for him. ] You can't blame that sickness on me, wasn't it because I was changing the reason why I didn't feel good? [ No, you were actually sick. ]

Huh.. I wonder if Okita-kun would wear these..

No, you were actually sick.

[Honestly wtf if Yamato won't listen to his own brackets then Horikawa will just say them aloud again for him to hear, until he does? No more getting sick! No more! Again, Yamato's pretty endearing in his simplicity, so Horikawa won't argue with his act of actually putting them on at least.]

You mentioned if you should wear more, so I thought that you could dress a little more appropriately for the winter, that's all! If it's still too cold though, we could always look for another kind of skirt... [Hmm thoughtful.] Why don't you ask him, Yasusada-kun?

[ That sounds nice and all but listen he wasn't really sick-sick so he's not going to accept it. With a shake of his head as he continues to look upon the socks that he's now wearing. ] How do you know if I was really sick, I mean, we don't know how illnesses work here.

[ There's an intial shock once he hears that he should take his inquiries to Souji, a small 'eep' that's so low it probably wasn't caught. More so as if a sounds for a moving action while he takes a step back. ] He has more important things to do than judge my clothing. I can only wonder .. not ask.

[ Sagely nod. ]

Edited 2015-11-26 16:55 (UTC)

I know that you were sneezing, sniffling, and acting a lot like you had a cold. I've never seen anybody who gets their changes like that. [Come on, he's about to take on his mom tone of voice? He's certainly worried enough about Yamato, considering all things, so just give him a break here. He's doing his best for him today!!

With all that flustering though, one would think Yamato was a middle schooler with a crush, rather than a sword who's stayed by Okita's side so much, and so vitally already. For Horikawa, it's more than a bit puzzling, so he tilts his head in confusion.] Should I ask, then? Hmm... it could be useful, if you only like the same clothes that Okita-san does...

It could have just been different for me. [ Yamato is going to whine and complain, he's not but you know if there's a way to get himself out of this. Though, maybe he should take responsibility or he can make sure that Horikawa doesn't worry himself over it. ] Having a cold was rather weird for me. I never knew it'd come for me.. but it could have been a change?

[ He hums a little at the other's curiosity and shakes his head next. ] No, you don't have to ask him! It's better like this.. It's trial and error to see if this work during hunting so.. [ Pulling up the long socks do they don't roll down his legs. ] I'll accept them because what if the success rate is even a little better, I'll have you to thank.

The only change you went through was becoming human, Yasusada-kun. Just like we did. [And that was an instant upon-arrival deal too, so it's not something that's passed never to come again. Not that Horikawa won't still acknowledge that they both remain swords; in the end, he can't imagine anything that would change that. Whatever kinds of bodies they have: metal, spiritual, human ー they're still swords even when he says these kinds of things.]

Did you want to try on the other outfits, or are you happy with this? It's good to get more of what you need, but it wouldn't be wise to overspend either. [Especially since like 80% of their household is still eating groceries?? Expensive, wtf.] I can wait here while you change again! Or, I wonder if it would be alright for you to wear them out?
