[Closed] better start swimming
Characters: Alistair Krei and Akito
Date: March sometime, shortly after Callaghan leads Krei to the Hotel
Location: Random place in the city
Situation: Someone apparently needs to take Krei shopping, and that someone is Akito
Warnings/Rating: Spiritual successor to this TDM thread, accounting for wibbly wobbly timey wimey-ness
"I don't have any runs until later tonight so I can buy you an outfit that won't get you beat up. You'll just have to pay me back sometime."
Krei looks down at the scarf, using it as an excuse to think for a moment while he turns it over in his hands. He certainly doesn't feel the cold just yet, not after having to run (yet again), but admittedly he'd been a bit chilly as he'd ventured out from the Hotel today. But taking the scarf from a kid? And a kid this small, in the cold?
Even Krei can't claim to be that self-centered. (Not that he'd ever claim to be self-centered in the first place, of course.)
He shakes his head, offering the scarf back. "I can't take this, but... I suppose I don't have much choice but to take you up on the new clothes. Would you believe this is the second time in as many days that this has happened?" There's a slight laugh lurking behind the question. Force of habit. Laugh it off. He hasn't felt like laughing so little since...
Since Krei Tech came apart, piece by piece.
This has been one hell of a month so far.

"Un, go to Stark Industries and be very kind and polite to the secretary. That will give you bonus points to start with, and a higher chance of meeting Zanru ASAP."
It's a short walk to their destination, and Akito quickly deserts Krei in favour of eying up a pretty hanfu. It's quite obviously too long for him, even hung up, but Akito has a seamstress for a friend now. This opens up many new clothing opportunities for him.
"Not as nice as a yukata or kimono, but still pretty!"

Before leaving the shop he shrugs his new coat on, overall pretty pleased that not only will it be a good deal warmer than his suit jacket but that it's not quite as bad as he'd thought initially. Besides, it really depends on what the kedan consider to be fashionable, doesn't it? He'll have to find out before he ventures out looking for this job.
He follows along dutifully to the next shop, looking somewhat puzzled as Akito ditches him to go look at pretty things. Having nowhere else to be at the moment he'll just mill around the shop and glance at things for a while, in order to give the boy some space.
He's pretty sure Akito is a boy at this point.
But he's from San Fransokyo in the 2030s, and the idea of a boy making starry eyes at pretty girl's clothing doesn't really phase him the way it might someone else. It's none of his business either way.
