Somewhere in his brain he's calculating Jessica's - who he still only actually knows as Julia - style.]
Black slim fit jeans, with a matching button up shirt. Red wool peacoat, just in time for fall, to offset the black. Maybe a patterned scarf to top it off for colder days!
[TOO LATE THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE WOMEN'S SECTION AND HE CAN TELL YOUR SIZE JUST BY LOOKING AT YOU. The jeans are first to get picked up, and next comes the shirt.]
So, Julia! Is school going along well? [He asks, so casually, as he looks for where they keep the damn coats.]
[ just following after crying she doesn't belong here ]
Well, a lot of the people at school have powers so it wasn't like we were defenseless. [ she sounds kind of... emotionless at this though ] But the fact that it still managed to happen...
[ pause and shoving her hands into her pockets ]
Yeah, I mean, you learn to get used to that, but it kind of makes everything seem kind of jaded.
Leaning out the front of the store, and looking at her.]
You should come in, you know. [Not an order, but thinking she could just enjoy it if she loosened up a bit..]

I'll pass. I'd just be doing the same thing in there that I am out here.

You'd have someone to talk to.
[It's either leave the store, or bring her in with him, because he's not willing to let her just sit all by herself.
And he doesn't want to leave the store just yet.]

Fine. But we're not gonna be here long, right? The people in there make me feel weird.

Not much longer at all!
And why do they make you feel weird, hon? You look wonderful!

and oh look at that, there's a wonderful coat and a scarf]
Yes, I saw. I was so glad that you and others were alright! It's hard to believe someone would attack a school...
Harder still to believe that that Mr. McCoy might just... come back to life. It's difficult to digest...
[All this as they're clothes shopping, good lord]

It's like wanting to cradle a whole city, just reach out and take care of everyone...
[MOOD WHIPLASH. Drops the clothes into Julia's hands, and one hand of his own gently pushing on her back as he struts towards the changing room.]
But for now, you have some clothes to try on.

I don't really need clothes -- this isn't necessa -- Nathaaaaan!

So, if you'd like to leave soon?
[Leaaaaaaans towards the dressing rooms.]

Fiiiine!
[ kicking the door open with her foot since her hands are preoccupied and then sliding into the dressing room and locking it after her ]
I don't even see the point of this! It's not like I need new clothes! [ changing the entire time she complains ]
