[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.]

[ Turns on his heel, starting off down the hall without her. ] I would like to see you strut about with your vital organs open to the wind.

...I'm dressed, what's gotten into you? [Jogs to catch up with him.] I'm wearing pants and a shirt, and shoes and now a hat! [Frowns a little, giving herself a once over.] ...the highbeams are on but that happens sometimes anyway. I lived in New York. It's not cold.

Nothing has "gotten into" me as you like to put it. Am I not allowed to be concerned about you? [ Pauses at the word 'highbeams' to look confused for all of two seconds before pressing onward. ] Then wear what is comfortable! It was not an order.

[Skitters alongside him for a while in silence, frowning.]

...you're fretting.

I am not. [ Said with far too much emphasis as he holds the borrowed garment snug around his shoulders. ]

You are so! [Laughs quietly and latches onto his arm. ~~Awkward, given the boobs and their lack of bra-confinement.~~] You don't have to fret over me, I'm fine.

I'm not! [ Almost tries to shake her off ~~because ohwhatthehellwhyarethemelonsmolestinghim~~ but resists, opting to hold his arm a little ways out to keep the pointy bits from getting friendly with the rest of his torso. ] Fine my ass and you know it.

Oh hush. [Lets go after a moment after realizing that hey, that is kind of awkward. Frowns absently at herself, likely embarrassing the shit out of Asch if he's looking because lol she just started adjusting them.] There's nothing wrong with me, I'm healthy and I'm happy and you fed me and it's not cold, so what the hell is the problem?

[ His hand comes right out and smacks hers, after which he pointedly stares where they're walking. ] Stop that! You're not healthy, it is cold, and there is no problem! [ Everything is just... off to him. ]

[Frowns, and abruptly stops walking.] ...Come here.

[ Takes a few more steps before slowing, looking back over his shoulder. ] ...what?

[Frowning, hands balled into fists at her sides.] Come here.

... [ My, my. We're pushy today. Hesitant, he backtracks the dozen feet or so he'd gone and waits warily near her. ] Well? [ From the way his cape falls, it's safe to assume his arms are folded across his front. ]

[Reaches out and hugsquishes him, kissing his temple.] Stop being grumpy.

[ Kind of slouches forward so she doesn't have to reach as far, gawking all the while. ] I'm not.

[Slides around to his front and presses her lips gently to the bridge of his nose.] Well then stop worrying so much. It's okay.

[ Sort of glares right down his nose at her until his eyes hurt and he has to squeeze them shut. ] ...if you promise to keep those things corralled until we find you female clothes.

[Laughs.] I'll do my best.

You better. Now let's get a move on. [ Tugs her gently by the arm to get them moving. And doesn't let go this time. ]

[Kind of swells internally at the care he's taking of her. He really loves you for this kind of stuff, Asch. The domestic fool that he is. ...Oh hey look, a clothing store.]
