[it's a fabulous day and we are in the mall, and shenhe is staring up at the smexy salon. there's an avon person trying to talk to her and she is ignoring them so fiercely. if kazuki gets close he can probably feel a muted sense of violence rising. very muted.]
[ he pauses to watch this with a frown... there's a vague sense of annoyance from his direction but that's normal. the urge for violence is new? that's fine. anyway. ]
Ah, Shenhe-san, sorry to keep you waiting.
[ casually shoving the avon person aside excuse you ]
You were going to help me, uh... [ fuck what do these salons do it's not the same as where he'd go back home?? ] ...pick a color for a manicure?
[this is so kind of him, actually, because she really was about to suplex this person. she startles a little when he speaks, but.]
I was? [she is. very bad at picking up on the idea that he's trying to save her from this salesperson, who looks very annoyed that he's shoved them aside.]
[there's a muted feeling of ??? but she goes with it, following him into the salon. the avon person just huffs loudly and goes back to accosting people on the street, but at least they leave them alone.
Ah. It's, um... [ wiggles his fingers, palm down. ] Your nails. Painting your nails a different color. It's usually a girl thing, but guys do it sometimes, too.

[she looks at him. curiosity, but very muted.]
I've done that in the past. [...] Would you like to do that?
no subject
I... guess I wouldn't be opposed to it? I never really considered it, honestly... but I don't really have to worry about school here, so why not?

[???
but, in that case:] I think that we should. Wolfwood said to try new things.

But I don't have to go anymore while we're here, so. Sure, let's do. You actually do have to help me pick a color now, though.
