THE SHOPPING TRIP

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Who: Shinn and Lion!
What: A shopping trip!
When: Afternoon
Where: Violet City!
Warning: Hilarity!


After arranging the meeting to happen sometime later in the afternoon, Shinn can be seen waiting for a certain someone in his rarely used set of Ace Trainer clothes, no thanks to Trisa's mishap earlier in the morning.

In any case, he seems to be early, as he's been fiddling with that Poke Gear of his for quite a while.

Well, its nothing special, besides the living in space thing.

[isthedeadcat]

That may not be special for you, but it does sound quite special to me.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Really, its just like living on Earth most of the time.

[...though.]

I used to live on Earth once.

[isthedeadcat]

I suppose it space would be as normal for you as living in 1986 was for me. [Lion chuckles a bit, the "was" is probably more fitting than it should be.]

Was the change too big when you moved to space...?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Not really, but it was just odd, I guess.

[Coping with having no family sucks like that.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Oh, oh, Lion can totally relate xD]

I can imagine it was.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

So, who exactly do you live with back home?

[isthedeadcat]

I lived with my grandfather, mother and father and a younger sister... There were also a few servants living in the house.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...huh, must've been quite nice.

[Shinn's face looks a bit sad right there.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion looks a little at Shinn before talking.]

Are you all right...?

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah, just fine.

[He will talk about the subject if Lion wishes to, though!

[isthedeadcat]

Did anything happen to your own family...? [That is asked very very carefully, as Lion doesn't want to make him uncomfortable. Just to make sure, Lion also adds.] You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

...yeah, they died during the First Bloody Valentines War.

[Such was the bloodiness of wars.]

[isthedeadcat]

I'm really sorry to hear that...

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

No, its okay, I have accepted their fate and moved on with my life.

[After the Second Bloody Valentine War.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Of course, you couldn't expect it to be easy xD]

It's really difficult to find the strength to move on... But living in the past can only hurt us more and more.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know.

[After a lot of things during the war, Shinn moved on only after Athrun kinda schooled him in the final battle.]

...Right, these should be enough supplies for the trip.

[Holding a basket of Potions and misc. Recovery Items. Also diverting the subject.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Al right, got it xD]

Hopefully there won't be need for most of these things...

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, hopefully...

[isthedeadcat]

But you can never be too prepared...!

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

You got that right.

[And so they went up to the counter to ring up their pur-]

Yo, Shinn! That your girlfriend?

[Dammit NPC Co-workers.]

[isthedeadcat]

[/sob. You get to explain this one, Shinn-san xDDDDD]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

He's not my girlfriend!

...

Or boyfriend either!

[Sob what is gender confusion.]

Really now?

Really, dammit!

[isthedeadcat]

[Have a smile, NPC coworker xD] I don't think my mother would approve of me dating Shinn-san, and I wouldn't like to upset her.

Can you please tell us the total? We are a large group and need to purchase quite a few things before the stores close.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, just give me a moment!

[And it didn't take him long to start checking out all the items.]
