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.]

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.]

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?!]

... 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.]

—Okay, we need to go shopping together.

[NO SHOPPING.]
I do not need to go shopping, especially in a place like this.
[He does, he really does.]
no subject
[Is he baiting Leon with sweets?
He might be baiting Leon with sweets.]
no subject
And he knows it, so he's going to put his foot down he's not that easy, shut up.]
I am not going shopping with you.
no subject
[If you can't take the Leon to the mall, take the mall to Leon...]
O-kay! I'll drop the first box off tomorrow!
no subject
Kashuu! Don't you dare! Do not bring anything over here!
[Too late... it's too late, Leon.]
no subject
What, you wanna come pick it up at the store instead?
no subject
[And then, ruining any sort of official poise he had, he just sounds like a kid now:]
I do not want it so just stop!
[Just ignore him, he's being difficult.]
no subject
I'll see you tomorrow, then! Don't forget, okay?
no subject
Help this poor child.]
