A canvas messenger bag is slung over his shoulder, its surface almost entirely consisting of patches and buttons from an assortment of cartoons, movies, bands, and video games.<br/><hr/>“Mallory and Kyless are a source of frustration for you huh?” Toshiro passed his hand over various different vests admiring the various fabrics and decorative features as he considered color. As Kevin was avoiding his gaze Toshiro couldn't help but grin and ask curiously, “What would that be like?” Lifting a burgundy vest from the rack and holding it up to the light, Toshiro held the fabric closely to his eyes as he examined the subtle paisley pattern. Not sure that Kevin understood the subtleties of humor, Toshiro clarified while trying not to laugh, “That was sarcasm 'Soldier'. Kyless is endlessly frustrating and Mal has a way of making a person feel guilty for thinking it. Drinking helps. Do you think a bow tie would be too upscale?” Not caring too much for the answer, the scientist quickly made his way over to the display of ties, holding the vest up against each of them to test the contrast.<br/><br/>“Don't get me wrong, I get where you're coming from, it does seem like a lot to put on her for her first mission. It gets at me too. That being said, I'm missing the point where being upset about it leads to a tension so thick you could smell it between you and Mal.” Going back and forth between a dark navy blue and a clover green, Toshiro settled for purchasing both ties and letting an expert choose. Taking a few long strides up to Kevin under the mostly authentic guise of inspecting jackets with his other selections laid out over his messenger bag, he added casually, “So, who snapped first? You or her?”<br/><br/>While they'd known each other for some time, mostly through association with Mallory, it had been some time since Toshiro had had a conversation that extended beyond,<em>“I bet I could pull of the camo look,”</em><em>“How's Mallory?”</em>or<em>“Hey Kevin, don't panic, but that might not have been hamburger they were serving in the cafeteria. Let me know if you start feeling a bit... inside out.”</em>As far as he could tell they never had much in common outside of their work with SOPHE, so it was somewhat difficult for the already socially challenged Toshiro to put things delicately. That being said, events being what they were, it was imperative that things were eased between SOPHE's resident lovebirds as quickly as possible. Drama was inevitable in their line of work, but unnecessary drama would be the last thing the team needed on the upcoming mission.
