[ Elizabeth's significantly less awkward about getting out; she thanks the chauffeur and tells him they won't need him again, it's perfectly fine, she'll be spending the day out and she'll just walk home, since it'll likely have cooled down a bit by then.

Yes, she's sure. Yes, she's positive. Oh, if her uncle asks, let him know she won't die of heat stroke or something. She's very capable. They'll probably be sticking to AC'd buildings. No one wants to be out in the summer heat. Yes, she put on sunscreen. No, she doesn't need more.

... And so on and so forth, until she's finally giving the car a very curt wave as it drives off and joins them by the ball, hands lacing together behind her back. ... Um. ]

My apologies for the wait and for the trouble. My caretaker was very excited to hear I would be spending the day out with some... [ this is fine she can do this it's okay ] Friends of mine, and wished to make sure we had everything we needed and would need.

[ Ahaha... ha.............. ]

[......... Um this is.

Hi, Silver. Hi... Elizabeth? He's giving Silver such a perplexed look, putting his phone away and pressing their shoulders together in a short moment of #toopoorforthis solidarity.]

It's, ah, fine... Miss Velveteen. I realize it's rather rude to say, but, um... I wasn't expecting you.

[Silver what the fuck.]

I invited her.

[He says simply, as if this requires no further explanation.]

It's quite alright, Akechi. I was expecting you, after all. [ ...And that makes it alright, yeah, okay. Anyway. ] Silver said it would be nice if we could all hang out together, and so I agreed.

[ liz that's absolutely not... okay. ]

[... Alright.]

I see. I'd like to be warned next time if there's a change in plans, [Silver,] but I'm not adverse to you joining us, Miss Velveteen. I was planning on helping Silver buy suitable summer clothing so he isn't dying the rest of the season.

[Fucking hoodie kid.]

[...He is currently wearing his shitty short sleeve red hoodie. He likes this thing, okay.]

It's not as warm as it looks. You said you'd get me food, too.

[And apparently that's all it takes. Silver is a simple, simple creature.]

Yes, yes, I am. I'll treat you as well, Miss Velveteen, if you so wish it.

[Even if he's like, gonna cry about it on the inside. #politeboy.]

[ what a #politeboy ]

Yes, thank you, I'd enjoy that. [ food!!! food. ] Let's get our snacks and start our fashion adventure, I suppose... I was thinking of getting some new clothing myself, really.

At this rate, you're gonna go broke.

[Silver is not a #politeboy.]

Should we start in the girl's section, then? I don't know what Goro's expecting, but I'm just gonna rummage through the clearance rack until I find something red.

[He regrets being a #politeboy sometimes. No comment.]

We can start there, yes. The clearance rack is a hidden grotto of treasure though.

[So he doesn't mind if they hit that shit up, frankly. He scoots off the ball and starts to head in, let's get some snick snacks before we frick frack off to a shopping montage.]

Edited 2017-07-15 06:49 (UTC)

I've never perused the clearance rack before... Perhaps I'll join you in rummaging.

[ But yes, let's get snacks. Elizabeth wants a pretzel!! Ooh, which kind though... Perhaps the original salty one? Yes. ]

[...Silver is quiet for a moment, then lets Totodile out; Totodile looks at the options, then decides Elizabeth has the right idea. He wants a pretzel too. That looks good. A nice and salty pretzel...]

Should we talk business before we get to the fun stuff?

[You know. Roommate business. They can stop and sit instead of getting salt all over everything.]

[Y'all and your salt. He's getting one of those cinnamon-sugar ones, they're usually good.

... No one seems to be thinking Aoi is weird even in a store, so you know what, that's fine with Goro.]

That sounds like a good idea. You've even had a little over a week to think about it; what's your answer?

[It's completely bizarre how everyone's accepted his damn Totodile as normal, but it does make things convenient.]

If Liz can be our third roommate, I'm in.

[That may be why he brought her today.]

[ Are you saying he didn't bring her today because she taps her pretzel against Aoi's like they're about to engage in some Fine Dining Experience??? ]

[.............. That.]

I... have no aversion to this plan, considering we'll have the room for a third, it's nice to have more money to spend on things that aren't rent and whatnot, and I quite like Miss Velveteen's presence, but you didn't trick her into this so you'd have to pay less, did you?

No.

[There's no "what do you take me for," no sarcastic quip, no jab directed at Goro. Just a quiet answer and an attempt to keep down his immediate frustration.]

You don't do that to people you live with.

[... He'll nod, then, choosing to people watch over looking at either of them.]

Alright, then. I have no problems with it.

It'll be easier for your agency to flourish with both star detective and Madame President beneath the same roof as well.

[ This is the reason she's decided to hold onto as being the legitimate for her agreement. ]

I'm surprised you didn't decide to discuss this with him prior to inviting me out, though.

It worked out, didn't it? I didn't think Goro would have a problem with it.

[...Totodile's eaten most of the pretzel they were supposed to share already. He's tearing off a piece and shoving that in his mouth to settle himself.]

Hell, you'll probably make a better roommate than me.

It's called "having consideration of others regardless of your correct assumptions", Silver. I'd like to have that honor sometime.

[But he really doesn't mind, tearing off an unbitten piece of his pretzel idly to see if Totodile'll like it. He's already endeared himself to one pet, might as well see if he can't do it again.]

You'll earn it in time, I'm certain. [ A light pat on the shoulder, Akechi. Comforting, if it weren't so flippant. ] We'll have no choice but to become more considerate of each other, sharing the same space.

Speaking of a lack of consideration, I need your help with something. Both of you.

[Totodile takes the pretzel and swallows it whole, his expression unchanging the whole time.]

I need a three man pyramid. Get on the ground, Goro.

[Wow, Totodile.

Wow, Silver.]

In public?

[ Oh, this must be for bingo, isn't it... Well, Silver's helped her, so it's natural for her to return the favor. ]

Should I get down as well?

[ ... c'mon Goro, public isn't so bad. ]
