I resent that remark. [ seemingly concentrates on the road for a moment or two, adding on finally: ] But I accept your invitation.

[ eyes go back to the road as well, looking faintly pleased. ]

The first step is to admit you have a problem. We'll go over the second step over Thai.

We will also be discussing your current handicap as well.

I swear I still have both my kidneys.

You have recently been quite distracted. [ stops, correcting himself: ] More distracted than usual. Why?

[ goes silent for a moment, then clears his throat. ]

Uh. [ shakes his head. ] I'll try harder?

[ decides to let that statement settle for the moment, only speaking when he turns off the freeway. ]

Whatever it may be, you should not keep it to yourself. It will only complicate things more.

Can't do much about this, though. [ another pause. ] Really can't. Unless you can send me to France with super stalker abilities.

[ when they get to a light he turns his head towards anthony. just... this face. turns back to the road. ]

Sort it out by yourself, then. I am sure you are quite capable of doing that much by now.

[ thunks his head lightly against the seat of the car. ]

That's my New Years resolutions.

[ simply nods at that, tactfully dropping the topic. keeps to his silence the rest of the way to the mall, pulling into an empty spot when they arrive before shutting off the car and taking a step out. ]

[ follows him out, biting the inside of his cheek. closes the door & mumbles quietly: ]

Uh. Sorry. Thanks?

[ shuts his own door, locking the car with the push of a button. looks up when he pockets his keys. ]

For?

Asking. Even with your ulterior motives.

Then it seems unnecessary to be thanked, but if you insist.

Fine. Then give it back.

[ blinks at that. decides to just turn around and begin walking towards their destination without another word. ]

[ scrunches his nose & follows along. does that for a few minutes before a thought hits him: ]

What are you shopping for that it takes two guys to get it?

I believe there is a misunderstanding. This was not my idea. Anne was simply concerned for your well-being and had somehow come to the conclusion that this would put you in better spirits.

[ process this... ]

Then can I pick the stores?

[ nods once. ]

If you wish.

[ fists a hand in silent victory, then immediately points toward the direction of the asian store when they enter the main building of the mall. ]

Our first stop.

[ walks towards it with anthony, not really thinking much of it. it's only when they get inside does he stop and look around, having not even realized that they had one of these stores in this specific mall in the first place. says, a bit plainly: ]

Interesting choice.

Best choice.

[ lobbing those words, he immediately beelines toward the gundams & other mechas, a faint blush tinting at the tips of his ears as he glances around. ]

[ while he walks about at a leisurely pace, simply taking in everything slowly. is uninteresting even as he picks up a few things to observe them, as if they were foreign objects. wanders on over to anthony after a while, hands in his pockets. glances at the wall-o-gundams, giving himself a long pause of thought; suddenly "getting it" he says: ]

Ah, I see.
