[And while his hair and eye color might draw more attention than he'd like (ah, just like being back in his version of Japan...) at least he was wearing the 'right' kind of clothing, and he looked pretty much like everyone else.

[Well.
Isn't that lovely. A sigh.]

[And she gulps at that, a bit of cold sweat trickling down her face.]
