[Hajime is not putting meticulous care into this tea party or anything. He just happened to be critically reviewing all kinds of teapots on this momentous day. And it just so happened that he found a perfect teapot which is currently boxed up and tucked under his arm. And wouldn't you know it, right as he leaves the teapot shop, oh-- Hello, there. I see you running around.]

Elliot March.

[srslynotarabbit]

[And Elliot is doing his damned best to pick out all the proper things. It's not his fault he doesn't really remember Cinderella all that well...of all the people. He stopped, flushing just a little before taking in a breath and offering a smile. There was no way he was going to let on that he was doing little more than staring at items and passing on them.]

H-Hajime!

[suckmylipstick]

[Tch. What is with that smile? Hajime doesn't really know how to react so he gets red in the face and kind of annoyed, okay. And there is a reading of Cinderella in your near future, Elliot.]

You look rather carefree. What are you doing right now?

[srslynotarabbit]

[He's just being friendly, friendly! Try it some time, Hajime. B|]

I'm just...finding stuff. You know, like you said! Trying to find supplies...

[suckmylipstick]

[Thanks but no thanks. Tsun is an art that must be constantly practiced, you should know. Adjusting his glasses. There would be a nod here but alas. He does not see Elliot lugging around any supplies and thus that means he was unsuccessful.]

Your hands are empty.

[srslynotarabbit]

[And here would be a defensive huff!]

I just haven't found the right things yet, that's all!

[suckmylipstick]

Just how long have you been looking? You should have found something by now. Have you been looking in the proper stores?

[srslynotarabbit]

I've been look in the right stores! There's too much stuff to pick from, I'm just checking everything first...

[No, really. HE'S TRYING SO HARD HAJIME.]

[suckmylipstick]

You're indecisive, aren't you?

[He sighs a bit more loosely than he'd care to. This is like handling a large child.]

Come. I'm going to buy more materials now. You're more useful carrying them than wandering around idly.

[Main objective: teach Elliot to shop like a boss. But maybe Hajime appreciates the company. Maybe.]

[srslynotarabbit]

I'm not indecisive! You were just so specific it makes it harder to pick things out!

[Exactly like a large child. SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN!]

I really wasn't just wandering around, you know...

[suckmylipstick]

Shut up and follow me. I'll show you how setting specificity makes the shopping easier.

[Into this ridiculously girly store we go!]

[srslynotarabbit]

Hey, don't tell me to shut up!

[He protests and yet still follows along, not even flinching at how girly the store is...]

[suckmylipstick]

[This place covered in pink is truly great... Hajime nearly makes a break straight for the makeup-- but then takes a detour coincidentally near the makeup but heading to the napkins aisle. Various colors, edges, and prints are available. Ready for your first test, Elliot?]

If you were forced to buy from this selection, which of these would you select and why? Answer quickly.

[srslynotarabbit]

[Put on the spot! Ah, er, um...his eyes darted around for a moment before he finally pointed rather erratically at a plain, lavender napkin. Why? He wasn't sure, but he'd chosen quickly at least?]

That one!

[suckmylipstick]

[FAILED. He can tell that Elliot didn't bother reviewing his options just by the way he pointed.]

Absolutely not! Are you taking this seriously? I won't help those that aren't earnest.

[He sighs, only slightly regaining himself. He was't about to go easy on Elliot and told him well enough last time to be prepared for it.]

Again. This time choose carefully.

[srslynotarabbit]

Of course I'm taking it seriously! You told me to choose quickly, didn't you?!

[Dear lord, Hajime. HE WAS DOING HIS BEST. There went the furrow of his brow again, looking over the napkins carefully. Had they talked about colour? Blue! That was the answer wasn't it? Ah, ah, blue with...well, at least he was on the right track? He zeroed in, blue with...frilly edges? YES, GOOD CHOICE! At least as far as he was concerned.]

Fine, that one!
