[ mama has never exactly been subtle, so yeah, she's definitely hearing that grin. she opens her eyes when he sets her down and arashi takes the opportunity to dust herself off out of habit and readjust her scarf once more-- actually, she's going to take it off, because the shop is kind of warm and cozy, and when she catches sight of the shop owner, she does give a quick bow before the owner scuttles off to the back room.
she's about to say something when madara beats her to it first, and.
well.
that's new??? madara??? actually asking for permission???? it's enough to catch arashi off guard, so she kind of just blinks once, twice, and that's underhanded and sneaky, madara.
but he looks earnest enough and she's soft and weak because how on earth would her weak maiden heart be able to resist a request like that, anyway, if the way that her gaze flickers every so often between him and also the kimono fabric is of any indication. ]
[ Yes Arashi. You have Mama asking permission because You're Worth It, obviously. That's unlike Madara when he moves to such an energetic beat that leaves others behind, but Arashi playing coy for this plan? Well, as the dynamic would go for his usual schemes and her being the grounded one, this is a bit more normal. ]
It's a good skill when you travel! It's quite exhilarating when you manage to haggle a good deal at markets and local stalls. I don't shop for myself often though, so maybe I should take you and Ansu with me~
[ Whisking away the two queens to Yumenosaki on a big shopping trip... Even if she (more like Anzu) would politely refuse, he can still express the thought... and make it happen with some careful planning. First though, he'll be a gentleman and take her scarf off her hands, all so that her hands are free to shop around. The textiles are arranged wall-to-wall in a nice order, from the subtlest patterns meant to highlight the quality of the silk, to designs that are very extravagant without going too costumey. ]
I still love my home country, and praying to a big shrine at the beginning of a new year is a great way to start it off! It's obviously not as loaud as a usual festival, but the winter kimonos make it so extravagant.
[ Right, another thing. He's aware that there's one thing that makes this probably something kept Arashi from every wearing a winter kimono out in public. ]
I'll make sure noone recognizes you or says a hars word, if that's a concern with wearing something like thing. If they do, I'll make them shut up, hahaha!
[ mama is unfair because that is absolutely the way to her heart, even if she is playing coy for the moment and doesn't really show it very much aside from a soft, muffled amused sound that's covered with the back of her hand. ]
You sound like you've done your fair share of that even without shopping for yourself~ with Ou-sama, maybe?
[ look, she probably Knows about the time when madara spirited leo away to some foreign country, tbh. but anyway. she'll let him take the scarf off her hands (and probably her purse, too, for good measure) and while he continues to talk, she's just going to wander over to one of the walls of display silks.
she's never really been in this kind of store before - there's no real reason for her to be in such a store, after all, so don't mind her if she's a little distracted dragging her fingers through the elaborately printed silks, plum blossoms for winter on purple and blue fabric, and-- ]
...Eh?
[ how eloquent.
she's still got her hands on the fabric when she turns back to mama with a wide-eyed, surprised look. these kimono are expensive? and this doesn't exactly look like a rental shop but more like a tailor, so...
but arashi wouldn't be arashi if she didn't recover from the surprise as quickly as she can. ]
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you'd suggest something like that... you're saying this way too casually.
[ at least he bothered to offer instead of going behind her back? ]
In that case... I can't really say no~ I'd be happy to go with you ♪
Even if you shouldn't be and I'm making a too-casual proposal, is Arashi-san acting all coy now at the thought? That's actually not too bad of a response.
[ There's a an odd sense of comfort when talking or hanging out with Arashi. They roll with each other's punches, gestures... Madara knows he's a lot. So a friend who's actually grounded but still understanding is someone to cherish. ]
Haha, Arashi-san is the best! I've always wanted to go to a shrine visit with a beauty in winter kimono~ Even if it's not light and easygoing like summer yukata, there's something so dignified and elegant about them. That is how a "knight" or a "queen" should hold themself, yes?
[ Uh, was she busy browsing the patterns because he's going to pull her into a hug. You know the kind where her feet are now a few inches off the ground. Takai takai. ]
The best part about these is making a kimono that's perfect for you won't take much time at all! Trendy ladies like to dress them up with accessories and whatnot, don't they?
[ offended. she's mildly offended. but only mildly, because she doesn't really have that much time to be offended when she's suddenly swept off her feet into another lifted hug.
you'd think she'd stop falling for this kind of thing by now. although uh, thankfully, she doesn't end up taking the whole rack of silk down with her when madara lifts her up?? that would be lot of expensive damage incurred.
one thing is for sure though, she's definitely dealing with this much better than the time because despite how unpredictable madara can be in general, she's equally adaptable to his antics, especially after dealing with it a few times. so what she does after the initial surprise is to tap him on the shoulder firmly.
put her down, pls. ]
Sheesh, Mama, you sure are persistent as ever. And a flatterer to boot, too.
It's not quite the cute outfit you promised me the last time-- [ tell me she isn't still salty about that, in all honesty ] --but it's alright, I look beautiful in anything, with or without accessories~ ♪
[ okay, arashi. anyway, after madara deigns to put her down, she's going to pick out her ideal fabric - white roses on gold fabric with blue accents. (knights colours, obviously.) he's welcome to pick something that matches, if he likes. ]
