...friend...

[Ion tries too hard to draw in breath and gasps, sputtering. Oh, good, he'd managed to finish his sentence after all. Wait.]

H-hello?

[Utterly confused, he pats himself. How could he be wet? They were just in a volcano!]

Anise? Luke? Tear?

[He looks around. The city is beautiful, almost unnatural. It's possible that this could be the afterlife, isn't it? But he's all wet, and so cold! That doesn't seem right at all.]

Is anyone here...?

[Ion informs the person at the register of his selection, then goes to change. He emerges again a few minutes later, fidgeting with his skirt. His previous clothing (including his head ornaments) is folded neatly in a bag that he's carrying, and he holds Hajime's jacket out to him. He looks a little uncomfortable.]

Thank you for allowing me to borrow your jacket.

[beautifies]

[Hajime takes back his jacket though it's a bit damp. He's okay with that despite his tsun demeanor.]

I only loaned it to you because it was necessary. Come on.

[He looks down. Nothing appears to be out of place but Ion's behavior is a bit odd.]

Is something wrong?

[fonmaster]

It's not a big deal, I am just not used to wearing girl's clothing.

[He's mentally berating himself for being obviously uncomfortable - but really. His robes, that was one thing. A dress? A frilly little dress? Entirely another!]

[beautifies]

Girl's clothing? Do you normally dress as a boy?

[That's weird. The look of Disapproval. It is obvious on Hajime's face. Anyway, no matter how moe Ion may be, he doesn't slow down for anybody. So keep up.]

[fonmaster]

[Not even for someone as moe as Ion? But he's so cute, give him a break! He's a little out of breath when he answers.]

Well, I am a boy, so shouldn't I dress as one?

[beautifies]

[WAAAAAAAIT. Stopping in his tracks. He doesn't turn around to face Ion and quite frankly, he doesn't care if the kid just bumped into him. No, surely he must have been hearing wrong...]

You're a boy?

Reply to the top of the thread again after this? It's getting squishy in here.

[fonmaster]

[And of course, Ion thuds right into his back. He straightens himself quickly.]

Ah, yes, I am. I know the Fon Master's robes look a little girlish, but it is just a uniform. I am male, I assure you.
