That is a good idea. Let's do that.

I know a good crepe place near the grocery store I go to. We can walk together.

-> action

[acquirement]

Then I'll see you on Monday at your place and we can go from there.

{ he's a tiny bit late when he does arrive on monday, knocking on the door in the hopes that nen isn't disappointed they're behind schedule. they had a lot planned today, after all.

his wallet is likely not ready.

but when nen opens the door they will be met with a smile }

Hello. Apologies for the delay, are you ready to leave?

[essenceborn]

[ Ayato will be met with Nen's almost-smile! It gets a little bigger every time he sees it♥ They open the door looking as excited as Nen ever does, dressed and so so ready for the day they have planned. They're even wearing the dress Duval made for them. ]

Good morning Ayato! I'm ready.

[ Nen's been ready for like. two hours already......

They're just really excited for today okay ]

[acquirement]

{ an almost smile!!! ayato has clearly gone up in the world...

nen looks very elegant though, but may have too many layers for trying new clothes... }

Very well. Is that something you're able to change out of easily? Changing rooms can be rather small from what I remember.

[essenceborn]

Hmm... In less than a minute? It's just a shirt and dress. Do you think I should wear something else?

[ As far as Nen sees it, they can just whip the dress over their head and that's 80% of their outfit ]

[acquirement]

Very well. I wasn't sure with the straps and such. { though in all fairness to him, ayato's clothes from home have like 7 layers and take him forever to get out of. this likely isn't anywhere nearly as bad. }

We can go. { in fact he's already stepping back from the door so nen has time to lock up, and he'll move to the elevator so it has time to come up. }

[essenceborn]

Excellent. Let's depart!

[ Oh my god Ayato... Nen could never understand that kind of fashion choice. Why so many layers?? That seems so impractical. POST-MEMORY SHARE, they're going to have serious questions about how long it takes Thoma to find his dick under all those layers ]

The crape shop is only a few minutes away. Are you excited? I am excited.

[acquirement]

{ to be fair he hasn't worn his clothes from home for a while -- only when on a quest as it has the guards attached for extra safety. here, he tends to wear plain trousers in either white or black, and a plain turtleneck top. today it's white trousers and lilac top since the weather is fairly nice.

because yeah, his clothes from home have way too many layers kdjng he learned this the hard way when clothes shopping with ayaka. }

I am. I'll take your recommendation to try in this instance too.

[essenceborn]

[ Gasp...Ayato stylin and profilin' today. ]

Peanut butter. The one you want to try is the peanut butter.

[ SAID INSTANTLY WITHOUT HESITATION. That flavour is Nen's only recommendation, both because they love it...and they have yet to try anything else from the crepe shop, which, like they claimed, is only a short trip. Nen holds the door open for him, near-well restless in their excitement. ]

[acquirement]

{ to be fair he probably is still wearing the mermaid necklace too... from that rain dance quest. }

Very well, peanut butter it is. Do you always have that?

{ he may need to remind nen to be careful with their pace, but since they'll be eating and re-energising it doesn't seem a problem just yet. }

[essenceborn]

Yes! Peanut butter was the third foodstuff I encountered shortly after arrival. I had ice cream, donuts, then a scoop of peanut butter. I also ate a lot of snow, but Chipp has told me "that ain't a food."

[ And those quotations would also be Nen trying to mimic Chipp's Louisiana accent...badly. Chipp would probably be so proud ]

[acquirement]

{ honestly that is not an accent he has heard before, so ayato blinks, opens his mouth, shuts it again.


chooses not to ask. }

I see. The more you tell me about Chipp makes me more intrigued by them. I would agree though, most people don't eat snow. Unless it is the shaved ice style, I suppose. I learned about that here.

[essenceborn]

You should meet him! Chipp is excellent. He lives in our shed.

[ THAT PROBABLY SOUNDS TERRIBLE, BUT LOOK. Look. Chipp put himself in the shed okay Nen had nothing to do with that ]

And that was the first time I'd ever seen snow, how was I supposed to know? It made my mouth numb, and that was dunk.

[acquirement]

Nenonen, why does Chipp live in your shed if he's supposedly a good husband? Should he not also live in the house?

{ nen why are you putting your husband in a dog kennel- }

Though I suppose everything is worth trying once, so long as it isn't poisonous.

[essenceborn]

I wanted him too... But he is not clean enough and it would drive Shigeru insane. Also, he said he wanted to stay there. He is a weird husband.

[ But he is THEIR husband, and therefor, perfect. ]

Yes! I agree completely. You should always try new things at least once if they are not poison.

[acquirement]

{ well, that certainly makes sense of what he's learned of shigeru so far... }

I see. I suppose this way you can all have your own space as well. Have you settled in now?

[essenceborn]

Yes! It took a while to get everything moved, but I have unpacked and now I have a giant closet for all my clothes and the fire extinguisher.

[ It's important to have one of those on hand. For Reasons^TM ]

i forgot they were supposed to get crepes sdkjgn we're doing well here dolly...

[acquirement]

That's good to hear. I suppose it's best to be safe.

{ though oh... a crowd is starting to gather behind them, trying to shuffle around--some people having already squeezed past }

We should probably order though, we can continue this as we eat.

we're winning liah sob

[essenceborn]

Oh, right. Yes.

[ Nen turns to give an apology to the people waiting behind them before going up to order--you guessed it--a crepe with peanut butter in it. There's other things too, but that is the most important part to them. From the look on the worker's face, they even recognize it. Nen is definitely "the peanut butter customer" to these poor people. ]

truly great rpers...

[acquirement]

{ ayato does the same as they finally step forward, and he'll request the exact same crepe as nen -- ensuring it has peanut butter as the other had suggested.

and before nen can say anything, he's swiping his phone over the device to pay for them both. }

Thank you.

{ and now they can wait to the side for collection, since they do seem to be freshly made here }

[essenceborn]

Oh... Thank you.

[ What is it with all these perfect men paying for their food all the time!! ]

I will pay for the next one!

[ It doesn't take too long for their crepes to be made; 5mins each at the most, and Nen is eager as theirs is handed over; they take a bite straight away. ]

[acquirement]

{ nen clearly has good friendos }

Very well, we can take turns. Though I'd consider this payment for the peanut smoothies you promised sometime.

{ he smiles, waiting for his to be made after nen's and he'll take a bite. it's certainly different to anything he's had before, at least the texture and consistency. }

Would you like to sit down while we eat, or use the time to walk to the shops?

[essenceborn]

Let's eat and walk! That way we cover more ground and use our time more efficiently.

[ Also known as 'Nen is excited and wants to do everything at once.' Eating and walking, at least, is easy enough to do. They have done this many times by now!! Yuuto spoils them ]

[acquirement]

Very well. Please let me know if you grow tired, we can stop and take a break as needed.

Were there any shops in particular you wanted to visit?

{ he's fine with it as well, and nen is right, they will cover more ground this way. as much as his concern for them is rather genuine, he'll just have to keep an eye out there. }

[essenceborn]

Okay, I will.

[ Nen's stamina for walking long distances has increased a lot since their first quest together to stop the clothes-stealing skeletons, but it's still nowhere near Ayato's. A day out int he city though? Should be fine. ]

I want to try a shoe store! I have never been to one--and. There is a store that sells weird T-shirts. I would like to go there as well.
