She's busy watching everybody walk by, recognizing some unfamiliar faces as new feathers]So far we haven't had as many new feathers as last month. Is anybody keeping track of an average number at all? Either way, hey New

I need to speak with Kanji-san about my clothing...

[voice]

[so_shik]

What was he making for you, Aegis?

[voice]

[shieldinside]

I am not sure... I just asked for something that would cover certain parts: my shoulders, hips, lower arms...

[shieldinside]

[so_shik]

Not my place to ask?

[voice]

[shieldinside]

[voice]

[so_shik]

[so_shik]

[voice]

[shieldinside]

[voice]

[shieldinside]

[voice]

[so_shik]

...are you sure you're a robot?

[voice]

[shieldinside]

... is that bad?

[voice]

[so_shik]

No, oh no that's not what I meant! I just...you don't look like one. [of course Shiki's thinking huge hunks of metal, but still]
