Who: Inigo, Tidus (aka the two shared braincells duo) and you!
Where: The standard coach
When: Horseshoe 17
What: Inigo and Tidus are handing out free stuff because Tidus is the train's official sugar daddy.
Warnings: Probably nothing, will edit if necessary.

Hey guys, forget about that public breakdown the other day. Today Inigo is on the ICP with a big smile, seeming as cheerful as ever. It's fine. It's cool.
"Good day, everyone! Tidus and I brought some things back with us from Irivar to share with everyone. So why not come over to the standard coach and see if there's anything you'd like to take with you, hm? We have quite the selection! Oh, and.. erm, Taiki, Roland, Bryn and Della.. If you could make sure to come see us, we'd appreciate it! Otherwise I might have to send Ti--"
Before Inigo can even finish the sentence, there's an offscreen obviously very Tidus-y voice calling out, "Inigo! Ask for Sakura too!"
Inigo huffs, turning his gaze to the off screen source. "I was getting to that!" (No he wasn't.) Apparently he accidentally pulled his ticket off the ICP as he starts moving away from it too, because the feed just cuts out. Just come get some sweet stuff.

Their set-up in the standard car is a simple, if messy, one. They have a few of their offered freebies on the same table they occupy, each guy facing the other, sat by the wall. From the immediate front, fragrant bags sit no bigger than a palm, a variety of scents better to tell when held to the nose. Whetstones sit stacked mostly on top of one another, and then a cluster of hair ribbons and circular hair ties behind them. Behind the bags are a few scent oils--basically, perfumes, if not very big. There's a few to choose from, but...
...not as many as there are the soaps, which take up a half of the table in their choice. It's like a lush shop here of choice, different colours and sizes.
And Inigo and Tidus? Sit there, either playing cards or fiddling through the paper craft book available from the art supplies where the old library used to be.
A chalkboard sits balanced, with the words 'FREE 2 TAKE' written in big letters. In case you missed the public announcement.
1:
Come up, and have a look. Ask about what they've got.
2:
Or while you're here, maybe you can help Tidus, who pipes up to ask-
"Hey, quick question. How long 'til you're comfortable hugging someone?"
(ooc: as a note, all threads on this will be threeways! please enjoy trying to handle both teens at once. you can't seperate them.)

He's not really sure about that, he knows very little of how it happens. He's not sure anyone does. After all Keiki had never really been able to explain the change to him, it was instinctive and just something kirin could do.
"That might be best, if Lord Gyousou carries it."
He smiles as he takes the clothes and begins getting dressed under the blankets, it's a bit clumsy, he probably should practice this, but he's greatful for them watching the door.
no subject
But being a human meat/shame shield is something he can do very well. Nothing will get past them!
"Hmm. Maybe if Taiki figures out more about how it works later on," as in, the whole kirin transformation, "then he can put it on himself. But giving it to lord Gyousou should work just as well in the meantime." He nods. "Not to mention that they could both use it then. I bet he'd find it helpful to be able to store things like that as well."
no subject
Plus, Tidus thinking that someone else should be managing the medical supplies than coming near Taiki for them. Food's a lot safer for Taiki.
"Or even spare clothing. I wonder if that's a worry? Well, no harm in overpacking when there's no end to the room. You just gotta remember what you got!"
no subject
He's finished getting dressed now and he begins folding the blanket nearly so that he can give it back to Inigo.
"Spare clothing would probably be useful, keeping dry and warm is important."
The last mission, on that mountain, it had been very very cold.
no subject
"Don't listen too much to Tidus, that guy has enough snacks in there to feed the population of an entire world." Okay, he actually thinks Tidus is giving good advice here. But can you blame him for using the moment to poke a bit of fun at the other guy? Especially when Inigo really can't hang out with Tidus without the guy pulling food out of there at some point or another.. It sure makes Inigo wonder what it looks like on the inside by now.
no subject
"I'm talking about missions, food for everyone! The lunchboxes we make!" But then a thought comes to him, in his moment of complete dumbery as he looks to Taiki with a complicated brow:
"Can you be near food with cooked meat in it? Does it make you sick? We usually stick them together in suitcases so you can take out a bunch at once, but..."
Would that still get to Taiki? Is he being too cautious here? Look, Taiki's health is important.
no subject
"Cooked meat is usually alright... to be near, I mean. Raw meat I can still smell the blood in so it makes me sick."
no subject
"Usually.. does that mean there are times when it hasn't been?"
Which isn't really Inigo angling to get all details about it. That's not important. It's more about making sure it absolutely wouldn't bother Taiki, because the last thing they need is Taiki growing weak or ill because of the content of his Arms Band.
no subject
He huffs that 'well', looks at Inigo--you know what I mean, right bro?? Tidus isn't a food snob, but not everyone should be in a kitchen just because it's their chore!
"But maybe it's to do with the 'meaty' smell? That's stronger with some foods than others."
no subject
"I guess... It's to do with the smell of blood. So I guess... How much it has been cooked." He shook his head, "It's alright though, it won't make me really sick. It's more like a... restlessness, something I am aware of. I can carry whichever supplies you wish."
It should be fine inside the arms band.
no subject
Though his agreement with Tidus quickly loses priority the moment Taiki starts talking. Oh, nope. Nope, nope, nope. He's sure Tidus will agree with him on this one.
"Hey, there are plenty of people who can carry stuff! You don't have to be uncomfortable when there's other options." Even if it's restlessness, that still can't be good if he's constantly around it. "If anything, we can see if we can't have some meals that don't involve meat to put in there. Surely you aren't the only one around here who doesn't eat it."
As weird as that concept still is to Inigo, who's very much a meat eater and practically had to be to survive for years.. but at least it's easier to understand it with Taiki, considering his condition.
no subject
But. "--It's up to you, Taiki. To be honest," he waves a hand, sighing, "I don't know how any of the teams decide who's carrying what. I know Minako was carrying for Blue, but I just took some food with me anyway in Irivar... I might ask Piccolo if he can make some more lunchboxes, and I give you guys your own supplies. It's easier way of doing it. Then you can cover whoever you need to."
It's still so soon after the mission anyway, and Tidus doesn't want to think about it that deeply. Ugh. Plus, in the end-
"Main thing is, as long as you have everything you need for you and Saku, that's all you need to think about right now."
no subject
He had never been able to smell blood or even felt uncomfortable around Tidus or Inigo when they were wearing the arm bands, so he doubted it would be a problem.
"But... I guess we should get back, I disturbed you both when you were in the middle of something."
no subject
Inigo sounds offended, but so dramatically to the point that no one could take it seriously. His mouth is open, gasping, hand on his chest, the whole deal.
And if that wasn't obvious enough, then the way he steps over to Taiki to hug the other says enough. He wraps his arms around him, briefly squeezes him, and then smiles as he lets go.
"You're just about the one person who could never disturb us, no matter what we're doing! You know you're always welcome with us, right?"
no subject
"--Wait! We didn't even give you any of your presents! Inigo! You got the bracelets?"
But straight after that Tidus is distracted, closing his eyes and with a squeeze and- poof! Folded blankets appear with a dusting of gold, out from his arms band. Different varieties, and Tidus picks up one, looking from Taiki and the blankets.
"You can pick one for you and Saku! Whichever ones you like!"
no subject
He was even more overwhelmed when Tidus made the blanket appear. "Oh!" He gasped, "They are beautiful." Had they gotten them from Irrivar? He looked through them, they were as soft as they were beautiful.
He took a moment, trying to decide which one he thought Lord Gyousou would prefer.
no subject
At least that gives Taiki a bit more space to pick a blanket, considering Inigo has to move away, thinking about where he left the bracelets. He thinks it's actually somewhere here in the pile of stuff they brought along for specific people..
So don't mind him for a second as he noses through that to look for the bracelets they got for those two!
Though he can't help but cast a slightly amused glance back at the other two while he's at it.
"Having a hard time picking?" It's just cute! Taiki does everything he does for Gyousou with so much care.
no subject
"Nice, huh? We couldn't get them for everyone, but we wanted to treat our friends." A laugh as he admits, "We went wild spending everything we had left."
That was just the kind of mood they were in that day, trying to ignore the train and everything else.
"We wanted to get you some new shoes too, but buying shoes for someone when they aren't around's no good! Next planet we end up with shops," he says looking at Taiki, "we're taking you with us!"
no subject
It was a little when he had first arrived on Mount Hou, all those years ago. Just like them Taiki felt strange, that people were being so kind to him. A worry that they were being kind to him for something he couldn't deliver. Worse in many ways because he had understood on Mount Hou that they were being so kind because he was a kirin, even if he hadn't know what a kirin was or how to be one.
But now he didn't know why Inigo and Tidus liked him so much, they weren't sages, they weren't from Tai. He wasn't the hope of their land and so there was no reason for them to be so kind to a person like him, who couldn't even repay them or fight for them or really help them in any way.
It was so strange and he's not sure how to answer. So he focuses on Inigo's question.
"Yes. I don't even know Lord Gyousou's favourite colour..."
no subject
Instead he just smiles at Taiki. Encouragingly.
"You know, I think lord Gyousou likes whatever you like." Or at the very least, he would appreciate anything that would make Taiki happy. That is something Inigo is very much sure of, with how connected his heart now is to Gyousou's own.
"Right, Tidus? I'm completely right, aren't I?"
no subject
A light teasing, hopefully one that Taiki wouldn't mind. Would he be defensive suddenly, in the way he can get in regards to Saku? Tidus almost wants to make a suggestion, but at the same time, looking back at the blankets.
"I think you should choose what calls out to you. So it can be a gift from us all that way. Yeah - I like that."
no subject
He looked at them again before reaching out to one in orange and gold. "I think this one."
He looked at them both, to see if they approved.
no subject
Inigo apparently approves, judging by that smile on his face. But let's be real, Inigo is so soft for Taiki that he would have said the very same thing no matter what the other had chosen. Anything Taiki does it is great.
"I think that would be great for it him too!" It's kind of.. fire-y, right? That does suit Gyousou in Inigo's mind, especially since it matches the way Gyousou's feelings feel whenever they enter his mind in comparison to his own.
"And here, this is for the two of you too." He hands over the pair of bracelets to Taiki. "One for each of you. Tidus deserves most of the credit though for all of this!"
It was his idea to go shopping together, after all, even though they made the decisions on what to get together.
no subject
"Reminds me of a beach," is what Tidus remarks near after Inigo's own assessment, inspecting the blanket. Really, they were all nice, but those colours did suit Saku. Would it go with his eyes? That blood-red.
"But it looks good! You know, Saku should wear orange more. Not that team Orange but-- like this." Don't they think so too? A kind of autumn orange. (In this thread we dress up Gyousou in our minds.)
The bracelets that passes over are a matching pair: simple looking at first, wooden polished bands of dart oak, then two rings of thin silver set near the centre but a space apart to compliment it. Tidus watches as they're passed over, huffing as Inigo also tries to pass over all the hard work to him, too. A humoured tilt to his mouth.
"Yeah, well, I wouldn't have picked up half this stuff without you. Stop leaving yourself out! We had a fun day, didn't we?"
no subject
"He should," He nodded at Tidus. It was still strange to see Lord Gyousou in earth style clothing, in combat trousers and a hoodie when all his strongest memories of him are of him in armour or complex robes.
But he is soon distracted by the bracelets, "Oh..." These are beautiful too and he looks up at the two of them, tears prickling his eyes, though they are tears of gratitude, not sadness.
He reached out to pull them both towards him in a hug.
"Thank you, both of you. I'm glad you had a fun day."
