[Have a fairly harried looking Chuunin, standing in the middle of one of the stores in the mall. He stands out like a sore thumb against the background of black band t-shirts, dog collars, and bondage pants. His stalker companion seems to be remarkably more suited to the surroundings, but that's probably just the eyeliner.]

Does anyone know where I

[A pale redhead with dark-ringed eyes leans into view, peering at Lee's communicator. He has a crutch tucked under one arm, and in his free hand, he's holding a black, sleeveless fishnet shirt on a plastic hanger. He scrutinizes the communicator another moment, then turns his gaze to Lee and holds up the shirt.]

I'm going to buy this.

[Lee just. Looks at the shirt for a moment. Then at Gaara, then at the shirt- which really doesn't seem to be much of anything, with net that is entirely too wide, and Lee is really starting to think they shouldn't have taken the advice of the cashier in the other store, who had taken one look at Gaara and pointed them toward here.]

But you would get sunburned.

[Gaara shrugs.]

That doesn't seem to be a problem for me. Even with all the sun I got in Suna, I never got burned. And this will be light and flexible enough to train in without overheating.

[Stop being logical, Gaara.]

But you had the sand in Suna. That would help with the sun, right? [Lee's reaching here.]

Sandry-san said that she can try to make another jumpsuit! I can ask if she can make one for you too. Then you will have something that is easier to move in but that will still protect you from the heat!

[Have a glare.]

I thought we discussed this. I'm not going to wear a jumpsuit.

[verdant_lotus]

Why not? They are the best thing for taijutsu users, and it would be much better than that shirt!

[Sorry, he's immune to glares.]

They don't suit me.

I think this shirt is fine.

[verdant_lotus]

I think they would suit you fine. You could even get one in red, though green is better.

[Offline/Video]

[sandsworn]

No. The clothes they sell here suit me fine.

Though I don't understand why there are so many leather collars.

[Lee glances around. A lot of it does look like Gaara's normal outfit, he has to admit.]

I do not really know. Maybe it is also a petshop?

[Offline/Video]

[sandsworn]

Maybe. Though they don't have any other pet supplies. I think they're meant to go with these clothes.

[Lee blinks.]

They are meant to-

Are you certain that you will not try a jumpsuit? You would like it if you tried it.

[Offline/Video]

[sandsworn]

I'm certain.

[He picks out another fishnet shirt, this one with an attached leather collar.]

I'm just going to get these. And one of those coats. [He glances at a row of coats vaguely similar to his own, with lots of buckles and straps.] You should probably get something too. You need more than one set of clothes, after all.

[verdant_lotus]

Sandry-san said that she could help find somewhere with things that would suit me better. [Lee looks rather skeptically at the collar, eying the silver ring attached to the black leather.]

Why would someone want to wear something like that anyway?

[Offline/Video]

[sandsworn]

People have different tastes. [He glances at the shirts.] Maybe I should try these on before I pay for them.

[Offline/Video]

[verdant_lotus]

I guess that is true. [Lee shrugs- then stops for a second at Gaara's question.]

I am certain that they are the right size.
