[Certainly Mihai has fallen face down in the snow before with injuries, but it's not something he tends to make a habit of. Especially considering that the last he can remember, he was warm and cozy in a hospital bed, watching new of the world going to shit, but don't worry, Mr. Politician will make it all okay. Maybe in the face of the coming

Mihai is confused. This will be clear to Badou as the old man picks up the book.]
Seriously? I should have years to go before I start losing my mind.

[Mihai can't be certain, however. After all, he's staring at a little picture of Badou, much like someone had put a tv in the book he's holding.]
So did the hospital kick you out too? Hopefully they at least left you somewhere familiar. I don't have a clue where I am.

[There's a brief pause, then rustle of clothing as Badou pulls on his coat.] Stay there, I'll come find you.

[That's no place Mihai's ever heard of. That doesn't leave him hopeful for whatever Badou's about to say, but then he seems to think better of it. Funny, it's not like Badou to have so much sense.]
Right. Just don't take too long. It's really freezing.

We should... clothing store... Now.

Badou. What have you gotten yourself into?
[Or maybe Mihai doesn't want to know. Either way, Mihai's perky nipples make it clear that yes, the man is still freezing.]
Right. Let's go.
Reply
[Aaand he's going to start towards the clothing store, which is actually less than twenty feet away, but he doesn't trust that Mihai would have been able to make it on his own.] Apparently it happens a lot. Just my luck they'd pick us up.

You know, that doesn't prove it's not your fault. Even if it does happen a lot.
[Which Mihai really doesn't want to think about, since really, there's only so many reasons to grow wings out of a man's back--none of which he wants to picture Badou doing, thanks. So let's stick to getting to the store. Once they're inside, Mihai will immediately glance to Badou with a new concern.]
I don't think whoever dumped me out there left me my wallet, and I doubt you have enough to buy a pair of earmuffs.
[No offense, Badou. Mihai just knows you.]

I could buy this whole store man. [Badou grins humorlessly.] Apparently everything's free.
Reply
[Free? That gets a look of surprise. Mihai looks at the racks again, considering the quality of some of the stuff.]
Nothing's actually free; aren't you old enough to know that by now? Maybe they gave you those wings to help you pay off your debts.

[Badou laces his hands behind his neck. He probably had the same look on his face when they told him.] I know that. I'm not ruling it out. [And doesn't he look thrilled by the idea.] But no one's asked anything yet, and it's just better than freezing to death. Besides uh... No offense, but aren't you a little too old for that line of work?
Reply
[So Mihai's taking his time now that they're in a place with a heater. He's not just going to pick up any random outfit like certain others probably would. He stops again, however, when Badou points out that Mihai's apparently in the same boat, and gives a look to his back.]
...Whoever is responsible for this has a poor sense of humor.
[That does explain the holes he can see in the clothes though, now that he looks at them better. Draping a few things over an arm, he shakes his head as he heads toward a dressing room.]
So who else is here?

[Whoever's responsible for his whole life has a poor sense of humor. Badou snorts.] Don't have to tell me. [At least Mihai's taking the fetish mutant bit (OH GOD WHY YOU ARE CRUEL AND UNMERCIFUL) well. It's not like either of them have anywhere to go, so Badou idly picks over the racks for some more clothes. He'll probably never do laundry again.] Haine and Nill so far. I've been keeping an eye on the journal thing and checking around but... [He shrugs, regardless of whether Mihai can see him.] If anyone else is here, they're keeping a low profile.
