voicemail.

[coastal]

[Following the "record your voicemail at the beep" message--]

What? Who gave you the right to order me around? -- W-Wait, was that the beep?

I wasn't prepared--!! [a whispered hiss:] How do you get this thing to stop-?!

[Beep!

You know the drill! IC Inbox for voice/video/action threads for whatever occasion.]

Give 'em here and I'll get them packed away for you, 'kay?

[Holding his hand out!! WHO CARES ABOUT PRICE TAGS (Kashuu cares about price tags.)]

[coastal]

[HANDING THEM RIGHT OVER and smiling brightly as she does.... help, someone send help.]

Mm! Thank you, Kashuu!

[apparently Indulgence just makes Lili a more well-rounded person... probably because she gives into what she wants instead of thinking too deeply about being embarrassed by wanting things]

[adornmental]

[Ah, a day of freedom without the tsuntsun kicking in...

Kashuu takes the heels and raises a hand before turning to head toward the counter.]

I'll be right back, 'kay?

[AND OFF HE GOES to buy these shoes after gently dying inside a little when he finally thinks to look at the price tag. THAT'S FINE, THIS IS FINE, he'll just pick up a few extra shifts over the week... Or maybe capitalize on his creepyass robot and make it do the extra shifts for him.]

Lili's utterly pleased with that though, content to be spoiled and taken care of - because it means that Kashuu cares about her, yes? And instead of being embarrassing this week, it's... a warm thought.

So she slips on her original sandals and waits, thinking of how to repay him. Holding onto his arm is fine - but probably doesn't compare? When he returns, she's just going to take initiative.]

Shall we go to a cafe?

[adornmental]

A cafe?

[On one hand, he should probably be responsible and go wrangle his robot.

On the other, fuck his robot, he wants to go to a cafe with Lili. Being five years old at heart, naturally that's the option he goes with!]

Yeah, sure. [He'll even hold onto the bag for her like a proper gentleman!] Which one? The one with those nice teacakes or the one with the wagashi?

[coastal]

[Amazing.

Lili's just going to take his arm without arguing now.... because he just bought her shoes and she's not going to argue, humming thoughtfully.]

Which would you prefer?

[Her treat, his pick....]

[adornmental]

[LOOK... He's just doing his best, okay. His robot is also doing its best, from whichever clothing rack it's been watching them from this entire time.]

Mmm... The one with the wagashi!

[Cakes are always a little too sweet for him.]

[coastal]

[This is why Lili gets stabbed later, this is exactly why. Still though, she's just going to nod at that.]

Understood. Then I'll pay in exchange.

[Because she also likes giving as much as she likes getting... being on equal footing with someone is nice.]

[adornmental]

[HE'S MADE A MISTAKE, HE'S MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.]

Eh? Are you sure about that?

[He won't complain too hard since his wallet is going to be coughing up nothing but moths for a while, but still!]

[coastal]

[Alas, Kashuu, friendship with Lili can be expensive if you try to match her tastes. Still though, she'd nodding rather certainly at that.]

Of course, don't make me repeat myself.

[ . . . well.]

I... It's only fair.

[adornmental]

[WELL GOSH, if it's only fair, how could he say no...! SO HE DOESN'T.]

Mm, if you say so.

[Free cakes are free cakes are free cakes.

BUT AWAY THEY GO, he'll leave behind his stalkerbot and go on a grand adventure with Lili to get some lovely teacakes and drinks.]
