[Scout's staring into a department store window. He has no idea what to get Vince. Scout is not well-versed in the giving of gifts to guys, especially guys who don't like sports. How he and Vince are friends is a mystery even to himself.
So, have a Scout muttering to himself while frowing at the display!]
[She looks over at Scout when she sees him by one of the displays. He seems rather agitated about something. As a concerned citizen, Hanekawa doesn't feel like she can let him feel that way.]
[She doesn't say anything about the crutches, since she doesn't want to be rude. Considering what she heard about Mayfield and all, it isn't too shocking that someone would get injured.]
A guy for his birthday? [Could he be talking about Vince? She won't voice that - there could be a bunch of people with a birthday on that day, so just assuming that wouldn't be right.] Do...you know what he likes?
Well if he likes clothes then maybe you can buy him something here. [...] Mayfield doesn't really offer much when it comes to that though. [she hums a little.] Does Mayfield even have a record store.
Most men wouldn't ask for clothes would they? I don't know if beer will be the best present - if he drinks too much he could get alcohol poisoning! [and since this is pretty likely to be Vince, she wonders if he even knows what 'alcohol poisoning' is]
Some people have different hobbies. That's all there is to it. I know an underclassman from my school that's the star of the basketball club and she hardly ever does things a woman would do. She even wears biker shorts underneath her skirt.
[she shakes her head at that.] Even five drinks can be enough to induce poisoning. Just a glass can take almost an hour for the liver and kidneys to process. Drinking should be done in moderation!
[This is Hanekawa looking skeptical about that.] Some people can hold their liquor better than others. It really is all up to researching your body type and figuring out what you can and can't do. Just remember to drink responsibly. [...] I'm actually looking for a present for someone as well. So I understand how you feel.
Well, we do have things like in my world. I don't drink, so I wouldn't be able to tell you much about it aside from what I learned in health class.
Maybe you can get him something just as sweet. Candy maybe? [but then once she says that she sort of regrets it. he could get sugar high and imagining him even more hyped up than usual is frightening.]
So, have a Scout muttering to himself while frowing at the display!]
Ain't gettin' him clothes. He ain't a girl!

Damn, I don't think it does. I guess maybe the general store if any place? [shrugs] I dunno. Maybe I will just bring him booze.

[she smiles a little.] I don't know really. I might just buy pastries from the bakery at this rate. I never really did anything like this before.

That ain't a bad idea. Man, wish I thought 'a that first!
