Nine minutes, thirty-one seconds.

[one hand is in his pocket, fingering the pocketwatch there, keeping track of the time he's been in the dressing room. His gaze is restless as he looks around, keeping a constant lookout for movement, for a person - or people - as he explores]

[he looks just like any Saguru you might meet at a crossroads. Perhaps the shadows under his eyes are a little darker than normal, but he's probably just had a few late nights chasing a thief]

[right?]

[ooc: and I'm sure we all know where this is going by now~ DR, have the third of four mirror!detectives]

[hesitantly takes his arm] Of course, Saguru-kun.

[he realises now that perhaps that was a gesture more suited for England, but fords ahead]

I have been doing some exploring... there is a kitchen, at least, so it stands to reason they must have clothing somewhere around here.

Yeah... I hope so.. I don't think the string will hold forever.

[She looks down at it as she trusts him to lead her along safely]

[very steadfastly Not Looking in that particular direction, just in case]

My jacket does button up if that becomes the case.

[...she buttons his jacket up then and clings to his arm, head resting against him] Thank you, again.

...Don't mention it, Aoko-kun.

[he decides when he returns to his world, he'll try to kindle a friendhsip with Nakamori's daughter if he can. this... warmth is all too lacking from his life as of late]

[just holding on to his arm as she lets him lead her through the dressing rooms]

[and a few moments later...]

I recall this room having wardrobes when I looked.

[guides them over to a door, holding it for Aoko]

[happily steps inside and looks around for something to wear]

[waiting near the door, watching quietly]

[and ready to step out when she does find something]

[Instead of finding a shirt she finds a nice blue summer dress that she'd rather wear. She turns somewhat apologetically to Saguru]

Um... I like you, Saguru-kun... b-but I don't think I should change in front of you.

I thought as much, Aoko-kun [small smile, and he reaches for the doorhandle.]

I'll be waitng outside.

[door close!]

[she smiles back and then quickly changes once the doors closed. Once she's good and ready she opened the door back up]

Okay!

Excellent.

[slight pause, and then he defaults to being mannerly]

You look lovely.

[she blushes]

Th-thanks...

[ah. yes. quite. um. <<;]

Was there anywhere in particular you wanted to head?

[she shakes her head]

Not really, I was just wandering around.

Then, would you allow me to wander with you?

I must confess, with 1412 here, I'm leery of leaving you alone.

Of course you can!

[she smiles brightly and then falters at the mention of 1412]

...I really hope we don't run into him again.

As do I, Aoko-kun.

Though I should think he will hesistate upon coming at us again.

[because he discarded you - brought you as close to death as he could without killing, and left you. You're no longer interesting to him]

He's learnt I'm not as easy to play with.

[bitterness, perhaps, clouds his tone, though the experience would sense the faint smugness running through his words as well]

That just means Saguru-kun is better then him!

[slight surprise, then he chuckles, amused and pleased]

I can only hope to be.

[smiling cheerfully]
