Hello... you've reached Chihiro Fujisaki. I apologize for missing you, but, um... please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Are you sure? We came to get you a swimsuit, after all...

[Shiruku tilts her head a bit to one side as she comes back over to where Chihiro and Komasan are standing. It's true, she can wait! Besides, she...probably will take a little while deciding on what she wants.]

[monge]

[...Of course Shiruku is so understanding, she's only Chihiro's Pokemon. Why does he have to raise such well mannered Pokemon?]

S-Swimsuit it is, zura... Heh...

[Komasan begins his search for any and all beachwear and eventually comes across...the women's section. He holds up a two piece and can't help but look concerned.]

Eh... I like that it comes with a shirt, but it doesn't cover a whole lot, zura...

[Not sure if a bikini top counts as a "shirt," but what else would you call it?!]

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro isn't sure what to do at first when Komasan winds up in the women's swimwear. He just watches him with his arms folded in front of himself.]

Well...those kinds of swimsuits are usually made for...women to wear.

[He pauses, looking over what Komasan picked up.]

But if you like it, you should wear it. Whatever you decide to choose.

[monge]

[Oh.]

I think I'd like it more on a different person, zura.

[aka anyone who isn't him. As much as Komasan appreciates Chihiro's support, he's just not that comfortable with his human body yet to show off that much...body. Tiny "shirt" or not. He puts it back, it can find a home with someone else.]

Maybe something bigger, zura...

[codeforhope]

Hm...let's look over this way.

[Chihiro says, taking Komasan by the arm and leading him to some more modest selections. Ones that...you know. Aren't bikinis.]

[monge]

[Komasan follows obediently, Noko close behind. Unlike her trainer, she's a little bummed they couldn't look at more bikinis. Let's be real, she'd totally rock one.]

Hmn...

[He's still not sure when he sees the new selection, but that's okay! He has a Chihiro to help him out.]

Well...what sorta swimsuit would you pick, zura?

[That seemed like the safest route to go, Chihiro has experience with this sort of thing. Maybe they can even match. That's not too weird, is it...?]

[codeforhope]

Me? Well...the last time I went swimming, I had something like that.

[Chihiro points to a wall that holds wet suits of all different lengths, shapes, and sizes. Chihiro always felt most comfortable wearing something that kind of went straight down the middle in terms of style.]

[monge]

[The wet suits were not something he expected.

Not in the sense that he's surprised that's what Chihiro would pick, but that they exist at all. It wasn't a type of suit that came up often -- if at all -- in the pictures of beaches he saw so very long ago.]

Monge...

I-It's like a whole outfit, zura!

[codeforhope]

Mhm. It's like...it's all-purpose, I guess. You don't have to worry about multiple parts, or getting sun burnt because something wasn't covered properly...it's all one piece.

[And, it keeps you warm in cold water! So that's a plus.]
