Be patient, you will see.

[Leading him to the auditorium, then past it, to the costume emporium.]

Okay, so here is what we will do. We will choose something from here and then we will take it and go do the little pictures with the stickers.

[headmt]

Oh! Excellent idea. And you said you weren't good at this?

[Immediately diving into the racks to start digging? He's very into this idea, grinning already, tail swishing while he considers all his options.]

[katzepaw]

I didn't say that.

[He said he wasn't good at the romantic parts, but ideas he can do. This one is a little silly but obviously up Mollymauk's alley, so it seemed like a good idea?

He picks through a few coats, but is planning to mainly let Molly make the decisions.]

[headmt]

[Well, he saw Luke in a cool leather jacket the other day, so that seems like a fun choice in a hideous style, and some aesthetic shades to match. This is definitely a Sight.]

What are you going with?

[katzepaw]

Uhm. . .

[He's not sure? Poking through some coats that are a little nicer than his, but nothing too exciting, and mostly costumey.]

You help me pick, or you will show me up too much.

[headmt]

[He's digging through, digging through - holding up increasingly bright and loud jackets that are getting worse and worse ... before he pops a pair of sunglasses on him and then takes his own shiny coat and puts it over Caleb's shoulders, popping the collar up on it.]

How's that?

[katzepaw]

This is a very appealing look, but I don't want to steal your coat, friend.

[But showing off the glasses, agreeing with them.]

[headmt]

[He snorts and pats him on the cheek.]

You aren't going to keep it. You're borrowing it for a photo. Come on.

[katzepaw]

Okay, but we will need to get you one of your own for the photo. How about. . .

[Grabbing him his own coat]

[headmt]

[He had his hideous leather jacket but he instantly just layers this kitty cat coat for children over it, doing a little pose.]

Think I'm ready for my photo.

[katzepaw]

Okay, let's go.

[Time to head back into the cold to find the purikura booth in the SUB.]

[headmt]

[Yeah it fucking sucks! The cold sucks! This time though he just links his arm in Caleb's elbow, grinning at him up close.]

Weather better be fuckin' warm next week or I'm writing a complaint.

[katzepaw]

Maybe it will be spring.

[Taking that arm, leading him towards the SUB.]

[headmt]

Maybe, maybe.

[Just humming, thinking about nice weather again. Into the SUB!]

Least from here I know my next move.

[katzepaw]

Your next move?

[Leading him to the purikura booth.]

[headmt]

Sure.

[It's making Caleb buy him a drink before going off to do more stupid shit. Anyway, immediately sliding into the booth, patting the seat next to him.]

You done this before?

[katzepaw]

Uh-huh.

[Sitting next to him, starting to fiddle with the picture taker.]

[headmt]

[Reaching over to adjust his coat on Caleb, fixing the collar and flattening out the front so it's nice and sparkly.]

An expert then! Better show me how.

[Says Molly who has also clearly been doing these.]

[katzepaw]

[Just poking through the machine, choosing some stickers for them.]

Which ones do you want.

[headmt]

[Leaning forward to flick through them, tail swishing while he thinks. Picking out some cats and stars and moons and sparkles. Y'know. Stuff like the things on his coat.]

[katzepaw]

[Okay, posing with him for some pictures, arm slung over his shoulder.]

[headmt]

[Happy enough to lean in, making some funny faces and sticking his tongue out, some bunny ears behind Caleb's head, and then leaning in to kiss him on the cheek for the last one.]

[katzepaw]

[Wow, bold. He goes a little red at that, smiling crookedly at him. Anyway, moving some of the stickers around, adding a couple things, and then going to print it.]

[headmt]

[It's fine, that's just a friendly normal thing you do to someone out of the blue.

Adjusting his own sunglasses and just pushing them up to the top of his head, crowding in to see the printed picture, holding it up.]

You're going to have to find a way to recreate these sorts of things with magic. Jester's going to lose her mind over them.

[katzepaw]

That’s not a bad idea. Maybe I could make something like that.

[The pictures are cute. Handing him one where Molly looks very handsome in his glasses, but tucking the smooch picture in his pocket.]
