[Like, would that make Leon feel any better... If he felt like he was the one doing the proper inviting... Kashuu is guessing "no" but it's worth the question!]
[All Kashuu gets from that is going to be some spluttered, surprised response. It's probably some form of refusal, but it's hard to tell with how flustered he is by this.
Then, since he realizes he's losing ground, he hangs up.
(He's still going to go sit in the living room, though, staring suspiciously at the door as if expecting Kashuu to just slam right through it at some point.)]
[What the heck, this is like a scene from a horror movie now... Leon thought he was safe inside his living room but really, he's just TRAPPED HIMSELF.
...
Kashuu doesn't bust through the front door like the koolaid man, at least, but there is definitely an ominous knock-knock-knock just a few minutes after Leon so rudely hangs up.
Though he doesn't LOUDLY ANNOUNCE HIS PRESENCE this time, just in case Leon decides to be a stubborn butt and refuses to answer just because he knows Kashuu is the one on the other side!!]
Or a very nice scarf! It's nice and light to match the summer season - even if it's climate controlled in this city - and it's a rich shade of purple.]
I saw it and I thought, Leon might like this!
[Maybe he's also making good on his old promise of making up for that uglyass cape, ah.
There also appears to be something wrapped up inside the scarf itself, should he take it out of the box...]
[Leon's...sincerely puzzled by this gift. Probably unsurprisingly, really; he's never received anything like it, and he blinks down at the scarf for along moment. Ah.....
For Leon, who tends to wear only his uniform, it's strange to be in a situation where...he supposes that he really could wear something else, if the thought struck him to do so.
(The scarf is nice, too. But what would he wear it with? Kashuu, don't let Leon pick out his own clothes)]
... Ah. [the pause has been dragging, hasn't it? Finally, he'll reach down to pick it up, and that's when he realizes that there's something else in it too.
As ever, curiosity gets the better of him, and he has to look.]
[If Leon's got pockets, he's sure not going to show his secrets to Kashuu... sorry, Kashuu, you're going to just have to deal because he's too busy staring at the charm.
It's a good fortune thing. They're supposed to keep bad luck and stuff like that away.
[Leon probably needs it, considering he was stalked by two Stahnbots recently... This is just a quieter way of Kashuu saying he's concerned and wants Leon to be safe in the future!! Maybe he's trying to actually be a little more tactful or subtle for once...]
D'you even have pockets, though? What kinda outfit is this if it has no pockets?
Leon does need it. He has terrible luck, he knows, but...someone caring for his well-being even now is baffling. He's still not sure how to handle it. Especially in a subtle, but caring ways like this.
Gently, his fingers tighten around the charm, but thankfully Kashuu changes the subject before he has to worry about ~emotions~]
[He can sense it. He can sense that SOMETHING WORSE lurking...]
—Okay, we need to go shopping together.
[Stahn got the heelys and glow in the dark shirts, Hijikata got clothing that actually has color, and now Leon can join their ranks with actual pockets.]

[THAT ISN'T AN ANSWER OR REASSURING. And yet the Kashuu train merrily continues rolling its way forward, anyway...]
Just let me come over for a little bit, okay? Are you there right now?
[If Leon says no, he'll just have to TRACK HIM DOWN-- But that's a lot of work?! Gosh, the things he does for his tsun collection.]
no subject
Leon realizes that his chance of bluffing out of that is sliding out of his grasp. Oops........ But he'll bluster anyway.]
"Fine"? What about this is fine? I do not recall giving you my address!
[Agh......... why does he always feel like he loses when he's talking to Kashuu...]
no subject
D'you wanna give it to me?
[Like, would that make Leon feel any better... If he felt like he was the one doing the proper inviting... Kashuu is guessing "no" but it's worth the question!]
no subject
[so that's...about to be expected. Oh well. They're just acting out a pre-written script of tsun and steamroller at this point.]
no subject
For Kashuu, anyway...]
O-kay! Then I'll just have to get directions from someone else, that's fine. I'll see you soon, yeah?
[He says, as if he doesn't already know exactly where he's going. Did Stahn even show him to this house before?? HE MIGHT NOT HAVE.]
no subject
Then, since he realizes he's losing ground, he hangs up.
(He's still going to go sit in the living room, though, staring suspiciously at the door as if expecting Kashuu to just slam right through it at some point.)]

no subject
Still, Leon does straighten further at the knocking. He knows it's Kashuu. He knows it's him. He knows.
But after a long pause, he still goes to open the door, because he's at least well-mannered enough to not ignore the door.
... .And also that'd be like running away, and he can't tolerate that idea.
So here he is, opening the door, giving Kashuu the flattest look ever.]
What.
no subject
Or not, because Kashuu would probably just try to get in through a window if the front door wasn't opened. He's determined?!
He also has a box in his hands.]
Here!
[Which he promptly shoves Leon's way.]
no subject
And then there's a box shoved into his arms and Leon blinks, startled, hands automatically closing onto it.
?????]
What is this?
no subject
But this is fine for now, okay. The box is in Leon's hands and Kashuu is quite confident that he won't hand it back.]
It's for you! You can open it now, if you want.
no subject
And then he looks suspiciously back up at Kashuu.
And then back at the box, before slowly and hesitantly, he begins to open it.
........................ oh so slowly.]
no subject
Or a very nice scarf! It's nice and light to match the summer season - even if it's climate controlled in this city - and it's a rich shade of purple.]

As ever, curiosity gets the better of him, and he has to look.]
no subject
But! Inside of the scarf is a little cloth charm in a matching purple color that Kashuu promptly points to.]
It goes in your pocket! ...Or somewhere else, if you don't have any.
[Does he?? The important questions... Kashuu's definitely looking for any signs of a pocket now?!]
no subject
[If Leon's got pockets, he's sure not going to show his secrets to Kashuu... sorry, Kashuu, you're going to just have to deal because he's too busy staring at the charm.
Kashuu what are you doing...]
no subject
[Leon probably needs it, considering he was stalked by two Stahnbots recently... This is just a quieter way of Kashuu saying he's concerned and wants Leon to be safe in the future!! Maybe he's trying to actually be a little more tactful or subtle for once...]
D'you even have pockets, though? What kinda outfit is this if it has no pockets?
[WHERE ARE THE SECRET POCKETS, LEON.]
no subject
Leon does need it. He has terrible luck, he knows, but...someone caring for his well-being even now is baffling. He's still not sure how to handle it. Especially in a subtle, but caring ways like this.
Gently, his fingers tighten around the charm, but thankfully Kashuu changes the subject before he has to worry about ~emotions~]
... It is my uniform, obviously. [Hmph!!
..........A beat.]
And no, it does not have pockets.
[Ah.]
no subject
That said, he's giving Leon A Look™ now because why.]
Where do you even carry stuff if you don't have pockets? Like, where d'you keep rations or whatever?
[Or a polishing cloth for Chal?? He leans in a little to inspect the fabric a bit closer.]
Want me to make some invisible pockets for you?
no subject
Leon grimaces when Kashuu leans forward, leaning back in response.]
What are you doing? I carry a pack on long journeys, obviously.
[So while pockets would probably be handy--]
No, you may not deface my uniform.
no subject
Come ooon! Do any of your clothes have pockets? They're super handy! Like, I dunno how I got around without 'em before.
[By carrying packs and food sacks honestly... They're so passe.]
no subject
This scarf might be the first modern item of clothing he owns in Cerealia.
Thanks for that.
HAVE A LENGTHY PAUSE.
UH....]
no subject
...What kinda awkward pause is this, huh? You trying to say you don't own anything with pockets...?
[Or is it something WORSE, like not owning any modern clothing outside of one simple scarf?!]
no subject
... I have no need for anything like that. I am perfectly fine like this.
[with his pocketless uniform.]
no subject
—Okay, we need to go shopping together.
[Stahn got the heelys and glow in the dark shirts, Hijikata got clothing that actually has color, and now Leon can join their ranks with actual pockets.]
