WHO: Kai, Tom.
WHAT: Establishing a reason for Kai to take Tom shopping. Yeah.
WHEN: Day after Kiriko and Kai thread, otherwise why does he camp in the Butterfly Room for so long?
WHERE: Butterfly Room again.
WHY: Because Tom will eventually need decent clothes for a date with Seiko. :|

There are some things that never change.

Kai was exemplifying this today by having brought his sewing bag to the Butterfly Room with the actual intent to sew there. The atmosphere was calming enough to work, and the risk of his materials being carried off by mischievous Hands aside, he had to admit it helped him get stuff done. The Kaidoll seemed to like his presence there as well, and was seated next to his foot on the floor, mimicing his motions on a cloth scrap Kai had given it.

The project itself was just a craft, a simple cross-stitch, but it was something to do and keep his mind calm. That was all he wanted for the moment.

Tom put a finger to his chin, and cocked a head to the side.

"More clothing might help. The suit stands out, it works to distract people, but it also makes makes me stand out. Other clothing might help in more subtle missions. Plus having spots to keep weapons hidden would make things easier then having to wear jackets all the time.

I think provided we can find things that are light weight and allow me to fight in them I think you'd be a big help."

"Excellent!" Kai said, pumping his fist to himself in celebration. "Clothes are useful like that, Senpai. You never know when you'll need exactly the right outfit. And I can help you make some great ones! ...That will carry your weapons, too," he quickly amended. That was going to be a fun project.

"I'd love to help! Hmmm, we can go to either Junes or Subako, I guess. I know I prefer the smaller independent stores 'cause the big places never have anything really unique, but I'd feel terrible modifying something really pretty..."

Kai, as usual when it came to the subjects of fashion and sewing, began to ramble on about design choices and the importance of developing a personal style. He'd slipped into his comfort zone, and any awkwardness from before fell away the longer he talked.

Tom nodded.

"There isn't a Junes in Iburi. But I know where the closest one is. It's where I've picked up most of my knives." Tom's eyes lit up with a sense of recognition.

"Oh! I should get Seiko a present for our date..." He crosses his arms and titled his head to the side. "Hmm... oh she needs new knives. Her shadow destroyed the ones I gave her. I'll go ahead and get her some more." He Tom nodded, a satisfied smile creeping across his face.

"But yes, Junes. They'd have more generic clothes, easier for modification. We can take my car."

"Yes!" If Kai weren't so excited at the prospect of shopping for new clothes and sewing, he would have pointed out that knives didn't make a very romantic present, even if it was practical. But, well, maybe they were romantic to Tom. ...That wasn't a very comforting thought, either.

He focused on sewing again to distract himself from that.

"That sounds great. Wait, you have a car? You're old enough to drive, Senpai? ...Huh, well you can pick me up any time that's good for you! You have my number, soooo..."

He stretched his legs out, bracing his arms on the chair to stretch and try to crack his back. "You won't regret it, Senpai. You'll look great!"

Tom crossed his arms and glanced toward the floor.

"I have a car and I know how to drive, both were a gift from my aunt when i turned sixteen. She thought I was deprived living in here when I was born in the states." He frowned slightly. Thinking about his aunt did that. She was never one for rules, and her willingness to go overboard is what eventually resulted in her problems. It made him uneasy about volunteering to drive. Driving for the purposes of solving the case was a justified reason to break the law. Driving to buy clothes for general use wasn't, not when there were alternatives;. They couldn't ask Seiko, so then how to get there?

"But I'm not old enough to drive. We'll have to take the train."
