[ Reika did earn a good measure of money back home, but most of that money was spent on equipment and supporting Julius as well as herself. Here... she had money. And time to spend it, holy shit. ]

Julius... do you want to go outside?

[ You know. Shopping. ]

Of course. I'd be glad to.

[Julius smiles faintly.]

Just tell me where you want to go and I'll be right there.

[ He looks better here than in Oska, which makes her worry less as well. ]

Um... we have some money now. I was wondering if you were okay with going shopping...

I'd do anything as long as it's with you.

[It must have been the bunny....he's not as lonely with Shio and Reika.]

Let's just go home before it gets dark.

[ He looks so beautiful when he smiles, too. ]

Okay! Let's clean up then go.

[ She'll clap her hands together and set to neatening up their hotel room. ]

Are you going to look for clothes? I hope that I can be of some assistance.

[Even if it's just carrying bags back
]

Yeah.... we can get stuff for the both of us.

[ She's definifely looked at some of the fancy things. ]

I haven't done much shopping with another person.

I'm happy I can share this experience with you.

[He wants to see her wear new clothes.]

[ Given how Julius is often all work and no play: ]

Me neither. Shall we go in the afternoon?

I don't mind going then.

Tell me when you want to go. [He'll get ready.]

There's a place on one of the southern districts that I'd like to go. But we can just generally look around.

[ Since it's in the afternoon, there's no rush to get ready. ]

That sounds fine to me.

[Julius coughs a little before getting up. He's still a little under weather, but not unhealthy enough to go out for a walk.]

I'll bring some water, just in case.

Okay.

[ He looks a little better so she'll tiptope a little and give him a kiss. ]

[He gently holds Reika's hand in turn. ]

Can we stay like this?

[It's a bit hard to ask for such a selfish thing.]

[ Now it's her turn to be flustered. ]

Mm....

[ Maybe they won't be leaving their room so soon. ]

Thank you.

[It's comfortable to be with her this way. Only Reika can make him feel at peace.

He's quiet for a while. ]

I don't want to go just yet...

[Is it okay to hold her a bit longer?

No ? ?

Holding Reika is important to him.]

[Julius is starting to feel a little TOO comfortable. They better go before he gets other ideas.]

I'm alright now. Do you want to head out?

[Suddenly it sounds like he's in a hurry.]

[ ]

Okay.

[ Fresh air would be good. ]

Lead the way.

[ She's the one who's been leading them for a while now. Julius doesn't feel like changing things up.

He'll obediently follow behind. ]

[ After they change, they can head out. The air is chilly but not too cold. ]

There's a lot of lights here, aren't there?

[ It looks like how Earth could have been before the Aragami. ]

There are....it's quite bright for me.

I'm not used to this yet. How about you?

It's okay.

[ At least it means they'll be able to see where they're going. ]

What sort of clothes do you like? [ She can guess, but she just wants to make sure. ]
