"Like I can let you walk out with only one outfit for your brother?" Kaoru laughed a bit before throwing the one shirt on the pile and going back for six more. He continued making conversation while he worked. "I admit I didn't even know you had a brother, let alone that he'd arrived here. I haven't been very good at keeping up with the journals lately... been a little busy." He jerked his thumb backwards in the direction of the back room, really more like the back yard.

The young man returned with an extra white, two blue, two green, two black, two brown, two grey, and two red shirts. He smiled when he noticed Max looking a little incredulously at him, worried about the cost. "It won't matter," he explained, "because you'll be getting a discount anyway." He smirked and drawled his words a little, "preferred customer, bulk purchase... maybe I'm just too used to the old economy."

Hands on his hips, he started looking around, more than a little irritated everything had been shuffled to the point he couldn't find anything anymore. "Now where did those boxers go..."

Max blinked. Why was he being so nice about this? She'd come fully expecting one outfit, and, seeing how things cost money now, paying a decent price for clothes. But she was so unused to buying clothes, let alone knowing they'd be at least mildly fashionable.

She shrugged, easily balancing the clothes. "He arrived yesterday." A new arrival. In any case, just as she had, he'd arrived in dirty clothes, the flock's usual attire. Max kept the stack in one arm, leaning them against her hips and tucked a short lock behind her ears.

Like she'd admit she had no idea about how to match these, and that Iggy or Zero would have just as much fashion sense as her. How did she manage this? Heck... How was Iggy going to manage to pick out matching clothes being, well, blind. Max supposed once he was able to tell colors again, it'd be easier. But, still. No. Fashion. Sense. That was Nudge's job.

As confused as she was about him being so nice to her... Max wasn't about to protest being given a discount. More food for the house. She liked only being hungry a third of the time, not half or more, thank you. Plus her cook was here with her. Eating real food again was amazing.
