Thank you for the offer, Silver. I'd love that. [ ...ah. ] Do you mind if I ask her now, while I'm thinking about it?

[ because it's impolite to just

text people

when you're hanging out with someone..... ]

[Silver doesn't really get the chance to look very pained, because there's buzzing on his own phone.]

Go ahead.

[While he. Goes to talk to Akira...]

Thank you.

[ Please excuse her then... it's only a quick message, she'll check back for a reply later.

...She is going to go back to trying to choose a dog then. Oh!! ]

Do you think Potato would like a shih tzu friend?

[ ...because she found the shih tzu one, yes. ]

[-He quickly texts before slamming his phone back into his pocket and giving Elizabeth his full, undivided attention. Dammit Akira, he was doing a perfectly good job keeping it together...]

I think Potato might eat a new shih tzu friend, but it's cute enough to be worth the risk.

[It looks like Silver's sticking with the bunny after all. That is much easier to focus on while trying to keep his cool.]

[ Hmmmm... She's going to go with it then, it really is cute... ]

I'll teach him to be gentle with these sorts of things. [ It'd be nice if he could just. not tear whatever stuffed animals and plushes she gets to shreds, after all. ] I hope you're going with that, by the way. It suits you.

[It suits him? He looks at it for a moment longer, thinking it over, then holds it up to Liz and pokes her with the bunny ears.]

Maybe I'll name it after you. You think they have an outfit that can make it look like a mage?

[ Rabbits are smart and quick!! So yes, it suits him... Elizabeth smiles, waving the shih tzu's paw at him. ]

With luck. Let's go see, shall we?

I'm right behind you.

[Off they go to stuff their animals! ...Of course, before they're stuffed, you have to get a heart, make a wish, do an assortment of strange things designed to entertain and wow children... The lady doing the stuffing looks so tired. Silver does all of the weird hand gestures and says all the words with gusto; not out of any genuine enthusiasm but because you don't make a fuss when people are trying to do their damn job.

This sense of thieves' honor and solidarity just serves to make him look like a weirdo, of course, but their animals are stuffed and they're off to the clothes quickly enough...]

[ If it's any consolation, to no one's surprise Elizabeth's also happily going along with it; it's fun, and she's used to whatever looks she's getting. Besides, it's only polite, and... well. This is something she's never gotten to do. Something silly like this, with a friend. It's life enriching.

This clothes selection is a little less life-enriching. She's already picked out a denim hoodie just to spite the fuck out of various people in her life, so she's looking at the rest of this stuff...... ]

They have a surprising selection, don't they? [ ...Not surprisingly large, although it is that, but like. Surprising in general. ]

[...Why do they have underwear for the bears. Silver tries not to look at them, but then can't help but eventually grab one, wave it around, and say-]

Why didn't they name these underbear? They had a perfect opportunity and let it go by.

Perhaps they thought that it would be too crude. [ Though... isn't this already sort of.... ] I'm surprised they'd consider giving their bears satin underwear, however.

[ Even she doesn't have those? Like, these are some surprisingly fancy bears, apparently. ]

Furthermore, it's a bit speciesist to only give the bear some undergarments, wouldn't you say?

They're already speciesist as is. I don't think these are going to fit Potato's friend.

[But he'll pass her a pair of red ones anyway. Go on, give it a try. ...Would it be obscene to put underwear on a bunny that's supposed to be like Liz, or does that make them mandatory? Shit. Maybe he can slip on a pair while she's occupied.]

[ Red so isn't his color... But she'll try and fit it on him anyway. Go put on some underwear on your Elizabun, she'll be at this for a good bit before she gives up and decides he looks just fine with a hoodie.

He's a dog. He doesn't need underwear. It's fine. It'd only get in the way, and his tail is too cute to hide. ]

[There's a little hole for the tail. Silver keeps trying to get a tiny little bunny tail through some of these obnoxious underwear before realizing that it isn't worth it and trying to discard them. Let's move on from the underwear, shall we? He can just put the bunny in some cute blue dress, no underwear required.]

Are you going for a full denim look?

[Should he keep an eye out for denim shoes-]

[ The shih tzu's tail is too big!! ]

I wasn't considering it, however... Now that you've mentioned it, absolutely.

[ Denim's hardy! And she likes it, even if she never wears it, ever. Except in certain people's nightmares. ]

[In that case, he'll hold two little denim shoes- seriously, what were they thinking when they made these- and "walk" them right on over to Liz. She understands what he's about. At this very moment, their humor is as one.]

Glad we're on the same page.

[ She laughs softly, taking the shoes from him and carefully fitting them on her dog. There... Perfect. His jhoes. ]

He looks marvelous. Thank you, Silver.

[A dog absolutely covered in denim and a bunny with a dress and a bow...]

You know, I'm starting to think this was just a celebration for the continuing return of the color blue.

Why not? It's quite an auspicious occasion... though I'm certain I have plenty of acquaintances who would argue we shouldn't celebrate until eye colors have returned as well.

[ ...Poor Sena. ]

I was considering wearing a few blue pieces myself, now that I have the chance to... Most tend to be a little too saturated for my liking, but... [ ...mmm. It's not that she wants to be more like her other self—far from it, really—but she does look quite nice in colors that aren't just... aggressively neutral. Ah, she's got it. ] Well, I suppose I'd simply like to try something new.

What about some bright blue pumps? You get the bold colors, but not too much, and that should go with most of your outfits.

[Liz is now the holder of one of Silver's greatest and most well kept secrets- he isn't always a fashion disaster. But his expression softens up a little.]

I can think of a bunch of things you'd look good in, but the truth is that you're beautiful enough to pull off anything you want.

[ Elizabeth's heard that sort of thing more frequently—that she's very pretty, that she's cute, that she looks good in things, that she's beautiful—but it never fails to give her pause anyway, an uncertainty in how she should accept it.

It's like she told Chiyo, though. All you have to do is say thank you. ...Except it sounds like Silver's thought about her in other things before, and that's a little weird, but she smiles slightly anyway and busies herself with adjusting her shih tzu's clothes in the meanwhile. ]

Thank you. If I'm honest, I don't believe I'll ever get used to hearing things like that... [ "You were beautiful up there," is a sentiment she's much more used to hearing. Comments about her actions or her acting, aspects she's worked on... Not things she's simply born with. ] What's after clothing them?

[ Moving RIGHT ALONG— ]

[Look, if you can't picture someone in every color of the rainbow (except maybe green) off of the top of your head, then what good are you-]

Well, after that is when we make our daring escape with our new companions.

[Ah yes, their daring escape all the way over to the cash register, unless Liz is really sold on printing out a birth certificate for her stuffed dog.]

[ Why wouldn't she??? They'll both have pedigrees like this.

...Please wait for her, she is going to get a birth certificate for her stuffed dog. ]

[...Well, shit, he's going to watch. He won't do one for the Liz bunny because that's... Kind of weird, but he's curious to see what she'll name her second dog.]

[ A good name... Something to match Potato...

Sausage. Potato and Sausage. Perfect. ]
