Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    Fairy Drop wasn't really the /best/ place to go for male clothing, let alone the kind Eilam enjoyed wearing. But he hadn't realized that before coming here. All Eilam knew, really, on his first time here, was that it was a store that was well spoken-of and here he was to look around! But, as chance would have it, the well dressed young man wandered through the store and mensware to look over things, and not finding anything that he particularly liked, began to browse through the girls clothing. It was a bit odd trying to find anything in his size, given they were meant for others who weren't really his size, but look he did.

    For the time being, he had actually wandered towards the seasonal clothes, lightly leaning on the large black and silver-trimmed stave he used as a walking aid. If anyone cared to ask, he could always say he was shopping with presents in mind, and there was alway the chance he might find something in his size, since he had no real shame about wearing such. If it was comfortable and looked nice, why not? He mostly enjoyed bright colors and 'looking nice' among other things, and while he had his nice suit collection and dress clothes, sometimes you just wanted to relax. Plus he could probably embarrass the hell out of Reiko by showing up wearing somewhat feminine clothing.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
It's not often Nagihiko peruses the women's clothing sections. Well, not as Nagihiko, surely. Usually he'd be wandering the aisles as Nadeshiko, fingering the soft fabrics of articles of clothing that wouldn't look good on him, but were still lovely.

Right now, he's admiring a two piece bathing suit in the seasonal section. It's nice, modest enough though perhaps still alluring, and from years of looking through magazines knew it would accentuate and all that stuff.

Sigh.

While he is comfortable in his own skin, sometimes he wishes he could legitimately experience the gender he was all but raised as.

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    In the process of browsing, Eilam noticed there was someone else present. For a moment he stared, not entirely sure if they were male or female, given the fair features and prettiness in general, but finally decided on male if only because of the clothing. He went back to looking over a short-sleeved light blue shirt that was nearby only to notice that Nagi seemed to be staring at something. What was he looking at? A bathing suit? "Considering buying for someone as well, or looking for yourself?" Eilams voice asked, his accent not quite a natural japanese accent, though his manner of speaking and actual use of the language was quite proper. Almost old man/upperclass type stuffy speak. Might be a little strange to hear, but his voice was soft, so at least it wasn't grating on the ears.

    "Myself I had hoped there was a bit more in the males section, but alas. They should totally have more cute clothing for both types. The ladies here get so much cute stuff. This one shirt has an adorable embroidered cat face on it, and I am so tempted to just wear it anyways."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nagihiko jumps a bit, looking very much like a kid caught with his hand in a cookie jar.

To add further embarrassment, his cheeks turn a bright red at the correct assumption that he's shopping for himself. "Ahhhh, well..."

He trails off a bit, not quite sure how to say 'yes' without really saying yes.

The propriety of Eilam's voice doesn't really trouble Nagihiko. As a Fujisaki, he is used to performing in circles with a very similar vernacular.

He latches a bit at the slight shift in conversation. "Well, depending on the cut of the shirt, it could be viewed as neutral." He turns his leg and looks down at his foot. "These boots are technically women's shoes."

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    Eilam watches Nagi, perhaps out of habit, blue eyes looking over his form, his expression, body language. His embarrassment gets a bit of a smile and when the conversation turns to his boots, Eilam looks down and nods. "They are nice boots, yes. They look good on you. Then again I imagine a lot of clothing does, you being as pretty as you are." Said completely casually. It's hard to say if Eilam was trying to hit on him or if he was just being conversational. Maybe both.
    The pink-haired fellow, however, did not seem embarrassed or remotely bothered, completely straight-faced as he stepped close enough to reach out and touch the two piece that Nagihiko was looking at. "Nice fabric too, I imagine it would feel quite nice on the skin. I do not have the hips to really look good in this, haha. Plus I am a bit too skinny, but I would probably still wear something if I thought I would enjoy it. No reason to worry about too many details, right? Look good for yourself, not others, and all that." Of course, that's easy for him to say given he's dressed in a nice pink dress shirt, tie, crisp black slacks and even a pair of stark black dress shoes and belt! Looking like he was dressed to go to a business meeting of some kind in fact. Even an ocean fruity kind of cologne smell to him as he got a bit closer to look over what Nagihiko was looking at.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
At the compliment, Nagihiko's distracted answering smile is more natural. He knows he's pretty, and it is nice to hear, but it's not something that causes a blush.

Well, unless it's Kukai saying it.

"It's well made, too. But it's not the hips I'm worried about..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he gives Eilam a once over. Then he turns to a rack just outside the swimsuits and picks up a shirt. It's a babydoll cut, but not overly so. "This style would look good on you, I think."

He, of course, catches the scent of cologne. His own is more floral, with just a hint of musk. And while he's mostly wearing clothing from the men's department, they fit instead of hanging loosely. A few touches here and there make it less strictly male and leans the style more toward gender neutral. Which is a nice place to be, he thinks.

Eilam Hisakawa has posed:
    There was a moment where Eilam looked Nagihiko over before realizing he knew him. He'd seen him at the beach party, but did not much interact. Huh... so he was magical as well? Or at least knew of it. He was trying to recall specifics but nothing came to mind. "Oh?" he asked, taking the shirt to look at it, "Well, I only try things on for cute people and those who ask nicely, did you want to see? Perhaps we can have a trade of sorts that way. You try on that bikini you were looking at and I try this on for you?"

    No harm in being a bit playful. Eilam honestly didn't remember enough about the beach to even recall Nagihiko was there and friendly with someone else, so for the moment he was just being a bit flirty back, because why not! It amused him and was generally good at keeping the mood light-hearted.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nagihiko gives an easy laugh at the invitation. "Sadly, I think someone would get a bit sulky if someone else saw me in it first." Does that mean he's getting it?

...

After a moment, he finds his size and sighs, plucking the two piece out.

It's hopefully not insulting that Nagihiko has yet to recognize Eilam from the beach. At the time of the introductions, he'd been trying very hard not to keep scanning the perimeter for a certain messy haired boy.

"I'm sorry. I'm Nagihiko Fujisaki, by t he way."
