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.)

"I don't know... I think it is how the change happens..."

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.

"Alright then! Taiki, you got enough points to get one? We could give you back one of the ones you got for the stock if you don't. I bet no one would mind if you took stuff to help out too-- maybe some of the food? That wouldn't be bad between you and Saku."

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!"
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-08 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have enough points." He told them softly with a smile, "I can get one and we can carry whatever you need us to."

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.
blitzcheer: (whatever losers!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-08 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, rude, Inigo?! Tidus puts his hands on his sides, frowning!

"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.
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-08 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Taiki laughs a little bit, he doesn't blame Tidus for having food in the arm band all the time, it would be more convenient than going to the kitchen whenever he was hungry.

"Cooked meat is usually alright... to be near, I mean. Raw meat I can still smell the blood in so it makes me sick."
blitzcheer: (arms folding galore!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-09 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like Taiki's got a radar for how well done meat is." It's a little dry, even though it's partially a joke. At a same time- "Doesn't sound good for the rest of us. But then, how many people know how to cook here? The food's not always... well."

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."
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
He smiles slightly at Tidus though he can't say if it is true or not, he makes his own food for the most part so he's not sure what other peoples cooking is like on a whole.

"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.
blitzcheer: (HUUMMM)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-10 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Tidus is in agreement with Inigo here, and even nods, following after him. "We had vegetarian meals-- still have them 'cause I got to asking Uta about all the difference what he could make when we started. So not everything that needs carrying is meat. But."

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."
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-11 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay. Well I can carry food, or anything really and if Lord Gyousou will be carrying it it probably doesn't matter, about the meat I mean."

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."
blitzcheer: (is a chore!!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-12 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! Plus, we called you down!" And he's about to continue along the same lines as Inigo, that there's always room for Taiki in whatever they're doing, until the words catch in his throat.

"--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!"
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-14 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Taiki looked down, he knew that but it was still hard to believe. He so often felt like he was in the way, annoying the two of them. After all they were both more energetic than him and he feared he slowed them down.

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.
blitzcheer: (all for you)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-15 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Tidus smiles happily, thinking to give Taiki all room to browse at his own leisure; but also, he wants to help, lowers to move out the blankets so they're not stacked and Taiki can go through them better.

"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!"
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded it was hard to chose and also they were nice. It was so nice of them both to have bought things for all their friends, he blinked, not sure even what to say. Especially when Tidus told him he would have to go with them next time.

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..."
blitzcheer: (who asked you!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Wow Taiki, Inigo's coming for your job. I think he's right!"

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."
longforgottenpromise: (calm)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-16 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
He blinks for a moment but then doesn't seem to mind the light teasing, smiling nervously again. Inigo was perhaps right. Lord Gyousou wouldn't mind whichever he chose, he was a very practical person and he would be more impressed by the weight and warmth of the blanket, rather than how it looked.

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.
blitzcheer: (chatter chatter)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-11-17 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
'wow tidus why would you ever think i would have a crush on taiki for'.

"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?"
longforgottenpromise: (contemplation)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-11-18 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Taiki is glad they agree on the colour, it did suit Gyousou and he hoped that his king approved.

"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."
