Once more, Caelus feels his face being filled with a recognizable pinkish tint. He normally doesn't think twice about this. He's very physical with his friends… Male friends, that is. It's very different when it's a woman instead, considering he knows he has to be careful with his mannerisms. He has to treat them well, ensuring that they don't feel tense in any form around him. It's unbecoming of a guy to treat a lady without respect.
He doesn't know what to do with himself as she's seemingly pressing against his arm, but he doesn't mind at all. What's important to him is that she's comfortable and happy. So, eventually, he eases up and regains a better expression despite the blush across his face. He'll even pull her a little closer, just to share warmth against the freezing temperatures around them. ]
Of course. You can count on me. I have engineering experience, so I should be able to handle most machines and electronics. I can even craft weapons and bullets.
[ He has a crazy skillset, actually… That's what being a stupid shounen protagonist does… ]
The only payment I need is your company, Dolphin. I hope we can become good friends.
( meanwhile she's not thinking all that hard about it, just thrilled to be able to mooch off some of that warmth, so come on! she wants to dress him up too even though that definitely was never discussed or agreed upon!
the offer makes her hum thoughtfully. it's a rather generous one considering something like that must be in high demand in a rundown place like this, and that's really all he's asking for in return? )
We can, because you're a good person.
( unlike SOME people.
see, he wouldn't be here at all if she didn't think so to begin with! )
How about this? I'll wear whatever you want me to for today. ( which, she does mean anything even if she also kinda doubts he'd go for anything too crazy. ) In exchange, I'm going to have you take a look at my knife later and see if you can maybe figure out how it works? It cooould be helpful for some if the ability it's got can be replicated.
( the scientists of her world kinda just does things like that, so she's hoping. )
[ To the Nameless, who travel across the universe and beyond, the greatest asset is earning trustworthy allies. To an amnesiac like Caelus, who lost everything he had, his personal greatest treasure is gaining new friends. This is why he's always eager to meet new people, not only as a Trailblazer of the Astral Express, but also for his own reasons.
Close together as they walk down the street, Caelus listens to Dolphin's offer. ]
But that sounds like two rewards for me.
[ A light laugh. Dressing up a cute girl? Tinkering with a cool weapon? ]
I'd love to take a look. I'm always interested in intriguing matters.
( thankfully, it's a walkable city and not some countryside village, so finding a small shopping center isn't all that hard to do especially when she's already scouted the area some. there are other things around of course, like a toy store and some gachapon and a run down pharmacy, but she leads them to one that she thinks will have enough for options as far as clothes go. )
Sure thing, but first, this is what I want you to focus on!
( so no knife, just her taking him by the shoulders to turn him to face the racks of clothing piled high. )
Pick a few. I need sleep and indoor stuff too, so keep that in mindd.
[ While it's not Caelus's first time picking out clothes for someone, he still has a small nervousness at the back of his head. Dolphin's letting him pick, so she'll probably be okay with anything, but he still wants to get this right. Naturally, he's more used to picking out clothes for boys, so he's a little worried if his tastes will align with hers.
Regardless, he focuses on the main goal for today. He looks through the available racks and around the nearby aisles as well. Eventually, he comes up with several sets. He aligns the completed styles for her on a nearby counter. ]

Is it messing when he's enjoying it?

What do you think?
[ The following are put together: 1. a winter set, 2. another winter set, 3. a light dress, 4. another light attire, 5. indoor/nightwear, 6. another nightwear, and 7. a bonus date outfit. ]
