[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.]

"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?

[originalnumber]

"Aah." ...

how does he even do that, uh-

[ryuusei_subaru]

[Aha.]

Most sneakers are fairly sturdy, Astral. They're meant for a lot of physical activity, after all...

[originalnumber]

Nodding, nodding, and INSPECTING ALL THE SHOES.

...To Subaru, it probably looks like he's staring off at all of them.

[ryuusei_subaru]

[He does wonder if Astral knows what he's looking for, anyway. Either way, Astral's the one wearing the clothes, not him, so...]

[originalnumber]

Grabbing... SHOES.

...THEY'RE PERFECT. "Will these work?"

[ryuusei_subaru]

Mmm, those should be okay. Why don't you take these into the dressing room and try them on-ah, did you need help?

[You know. Because lol your leg.]

[originalnumber]

Looking back down at his broken leg now...

OH YEA...

"A-Ahh... That would be much appreciated, yes."

[ryuusei_subaru]

It's fine, really...

[And let's get into that dressing room and get him changed?]

[originalnumber]

It's only an issue with the one leg really- once that leg is through the panthole for either part of the outfit it's smooth sailing- which translates to 'okay Subaru you can let me handle it now'. It's a little awkward with the wet suit on the broken leg- thank arceus for zippered pant-legs.

But otherwise he soon comes out on crutches looking like a blue version of a standard trainer. Interesting!

"How does it look?"

[ryuusei_subaru]

Surprisingly, it fits you well, Astral. Are you comfortable?

[originalnumber]

"Aah! It's quite nice." He likes the wetsuit most.

"It is a little odd, but that is to be expected I believe." Seeing how he's... Been only wearing a poncho until now.

[ryuusei_subaru]

It'll probably take you a while to get used to them...let's take the tags off and purchase these, then.

[Yaaaay.]

[originalnumber]

"Aah." Smile smile. "Thank you for this, Subaru."

[ryuusei_subaru]

It's fine. What are friends for, right?

[And the purchases are made~.]

I think that's thread end that. :0

[originalnumber]

Another nod and smile. "Right."
