[Pffft yeah right. Remember, we're not a lady. Although she does have the decency to chew and sort of shunt the mouthful of food against one cheek before talking.] Mind coming with me to find more suitable clothes, then? Since you seem to have a good idea of what'd be best.

[ Hey, he can hope, can't he? And you're still a lady in our book. ] ...if you would like the company, I have no problem going with you. [ That way he can pick out clothes that don't give off an air of Luke being pervert bait. ]

[Suppose one can't stop him from hoping, no. Swallows her food and smiles.] Great. Soon as I'm done eating, we'll go hit up one of the stores, then. [Only bait for you, love. ♥]

[ You'd think by now he'd catch a clue, but no. He just sighs and ambles about the room to collect a jacket and hat for her along with a cape of some sort for himself. ] Take your time. There is no rush.

[Nom nom.] 's is really good, by the way.

I thought you might need something to eat. [ Read: You don't take care of yourself, idiot. ]

Man, I'm always down with eating your food. Take a look in the lefthand cabinet over there; I tend to live almost entirely on packaged food and fruit otherwise. [Also note the half-full fruit basket. Kid likes fruit. Namely tomatoes, peaches, and cucumbers. rofl phallic symbols.]

[ Does indeed scan the contents of what must be Luke's food stash -- and promptly FACEPALMS. Did no one teach the replica about decent nutrition?! It wasn't that hard to walk your ass down to the nearest kitchen for meat. She gets shot a very disapproving look. ] You keep this up and I'll take to following you with a cookbook until you learn.

Hey I do put chicken in the ramen sometimes. And at least three times a week I go make a salad with almonds in it because almonds are fuckin' good. [Cleaning the plate you left for him, by the way. Apparently being a girl gives him more places to put it.]

[ There would be room even if he weren't a girl. His head sure is empty enough. ] That should be closer to three times a day, idiot. [ The insult has the air of being a pet name more than anything else. And he's now slicing up one of the peaches. ]

I can't eat that much, didn't we talk about this? I can only eat about two full meals a day or I'll get sick. I don't really have the space for it I guess. [Absently prods at her own stomach, then gets up and wanders over to the little mini-kitchen in his room. It's like one of those suite hotel rooms, only all in one space. Cleaning his plate now.]

We have. You should still be getting a far deal more than you are now. Look at how scraggly you are! It's a miracle you never collapsed. [ Follows her out into the kitchenette with the outdoor wear draped over his folded arms. ...you didn't have to clean it. ]

I've been scraggly for a while now. [Won't tell you the number of times we have collapsed, then. Yeah, and we are anyway. It's a habit. Smiles over her shoulder.] Lemme see if my shoes still fit.

Something you should aim to fix so you can improve your health. [ Not like he didn't have a fair guess that it'd happened before, but why dwell on the past when you can't change it? He'd have done that for you, you know. Sighs. ]

[Not usually because of his lack of nutrition, though. >>; And we thrive on being a semi-independent ~~boy~~ girl. Sets the plate and utensils in a drying rack and scampers off to put on her shoes.]

[ Shush. It gives Asch a goal. >/ He double-checks the dishes before trailing after her again. If he didn't know better, he'd put money on Luke having been aged down a bit, too. He's even more childish when he's a she. ]

[Or maybe he just acts his age when he's a girl. His age being nine. Wiggles her toes a little in her boots.] ...They're kinda big now. But that's okay. [Gets up and circles over to him, rolling onto her toes again to nuzzle at him.]

[ Not even going there by any means. Looks somewhat taken aback at the bold affection but only turns a shade redder this time around, and pats her head.an ] Put an extra pair of socks on. That will help them fit better and keep your feet warm.

[Ffff. Estrogen does funny things to this one. Looks sort of confused, but shrugs and wanders off to put on another pair of socks.] My feet weren't cold, for the record.

Better safe than sorry. [ Seems he becomes a worrywart in lieu of having certain other things to fret over. He'll be waiting at the doorway, holding the door open for her. ]

[Pauses near the doorway and quirks an eyebrow.] ...man, I am one lucky... [Glances at herself.] ...Well, currently, girl.

Hmm? [ Blinks at her curiously before tossing the hat in her direction. ] Could say replica. That would be gender-neutral.

[Catches it and frowns at it.] ...why the disguise? [Puts it on anyway. And likely looks goddamn adorable.]

[ There's half the reason right there. He frowns right back after wrapping the cape around his shoulders, then holds a coat out. ] What disguise? In case you had not noticed, summer has come and gone.

...it's not that cold. [Tugs the hat down farther over her ears anyway, sulking.]
