[ACTION] Seventh Shooting Star - Guess who's finally being active again, oops

[ryuusei_subaru]

 [While Loki and Yuuma are off shopping for something in Black City, Subaru has elected to stay behind with Astral, if only to keep the being company while he recovered from the cave-in back in Mistralton Cave. Even so, Astral is apparently bored, and willing to follow Subaru around as he walks around Driftveil for his own errands despite relying heavily on crutches.

After a bit of worried fussing on Subaru's behalf (are you sure you haven't picked up on some of Yuuma-kun's recklessness, Astral?), he doesn't mind having the being follow him as he goes around town, asking questions about their next leg in their journey, Chargestone Cave. It's an area of  particular interest for Subaru, as it's one of the many unusual landmarks of Unova that Professor Juniper was kind enough to mention, and the stories about it make Subaru wonder if it's a possible source of strong Denpa.

Of course, they're going at a slightly slower pace than normal, thanks to Astral and his crutches, so it would be easy to stop either of them for a quick chat, if one wishes.]

[Action] REASONABLY, SUBARU WOULD NOT THINK OF SUCH THINGS

[ryuusei_subaru]

E-eh? People wear that when they go swimming, Astral...technically it's made of very light material, so you could wear it, but...that's for swimming!

[Action] 'IT'S LIKE I'M WEARING NOTHING AT ALL. NOTHING AT ALL'

[originalnumber]

"It looks rather form fitting." Oh dear he's smiling. "It would be as though I wasn't having to wear anything at all." aSTRAL NO-!

[Action] STUPID SEXY ASTRAL

[ryuusei_subaru]

Yes, but...people would consider that strange, Astral. People don't go around wearing bathing suits in public unless they're actually going swimming...

omfg he's horrible-

[originalnumber]

There's a rather blank expression as he points to a few people walking out of the store with wetsuits under their clothes.

[Action] .../SNORT

[ryuusei_subaru]

...I should rephrase that, then. People don't wear bathing suits on their own, Astral, not unless they go swimming...it is practical, though, to wear them under the clothes until they're needed to go swimming, people do that sometimes...not everyday!

[Not that he knows. For all he knows, there could be some practical use for wearing wetsuits every day. Like absorbing sweat or whatever.]

/sobs

[originalnumber]

"...Aah." Well doesn't he just look mildly dejected.

and now I feel bad for Astral

[ryuusei_subaru]

There's no reason why we can't get it, Astral, if you really want it...you just have to have something else on top of it. As long as you don't get hot, it's fine...

shgshgshgshg

[originalnumber]

"Aah- Right!"

COMPROMISE THEN.

adorable babies

[ryuusei_subaru]

Just don't wear it when you go to rest, Astral, I think you might end up getting itchy otherwise...

[And now perusing shorts and T-shirts. Does Astral find something to catch his eye?]

[originalnumber]

"Aah. Understood." No he does not find anything that catches his eye. He is too busy looking over his shiny new wetsuit oops.

Quick Subaru, grab the capris and shirt jacket..!

[ryuusei_subaru]

[That he does, considering that they seem to match whatever Astral is holding the best.]

Astral, is there anything else here that you want to go with this?

[originalnumber]

"Mnnn..." Looking around looking aro-

Oh!

He grabs... It's a visor it looks like, it was sitting by the bags. "This."

...It has gems on it...

[ryuusei_subaru]

Eh? Oh, a visor! That looks like it would be a good compromise for a hat, Astral, your hair wouldn't get in its way, and it would block off your face from the sun...

[And then he notices the gems.]

...Did you get that from the girls' section, Astral?

[originalnumber]

"I found it here." ...

"Why would you presume it is exclusive to the female gender."

[ryuusei_subaru]

[Ehehehe.]

That's generally what clothes makers do, Astral, they put gems and shiny things on clothing meant for girls...it's supposed to appeal to them, or something. That's what Misora-chan and the Class President always said, anyway...

[He's ten. He doesn't get it himself, okay?]

[originalnumber]

"...Aah." Awwww.

"...It matches mine though."

...He IS rather bedazzlin'.

[ryuusei_subaru]

[...Point taken.]

Well, just because it's made for girls doesn't mean you can't wear it, Astral. It does match you, so I don't think anyone will really ask.

[Are you even male, Astral?]

[originalnumber]

"Aaah." Smiling again!!

"...Would it be wise to purchase a bag as well..?"

[ryuusei_subaru]

It might be! You're starting to pick up more possessions of your own now that you're solid, so it might be better for Yuuma-kun if you do...you could carry the stuff for Oto-chan, too, since you've been the one mostly taking care of it...

[originalnumber]

"Mnn." He nods, taking a rather case-like bag from the side. "This one then..."

...Have either of you checked to see if this stuff fits.

[ryuusei_subaru]

[They were getting to that, honest!]

Is there anything else you wanted to get, before we make sure we got stuff in the right size?

[originalnumber]

He glances down at his boots.

"...It is likely wise to invest in proper footwear..."

[ryuusei_subaru]

Ah, right. Sneakers are a good fit for hot days, Astral. I would normally suggest sandals, but we do a lot of travelling, so that's no good...

[originalnumber]

"Not to mention, we are nearing the city 'Iccirus' correct? It is typically quite cool there regardless."

[ryuusei_subaru]

Un. So they would work well in both seasons, see? Pick sturdy types that can last a long time, okay?
