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/>After handing the various component items of his ensemble to Raquel with a light flourish on the presentation of each to the mild chagrin and amusement of the aged proprietor, Toshiro threw what appeared to be a couple of fossils to the pair of statues flanking her, each eagerly grabbing one before flying up into the rafters and carefully watching the other for signs of aggression. “Muchas gracias Raquel, and I hope my friend here hasn't insulted you too much with his browsing, he's got love on the mind, I don't have to tell you what that's like.” He patted sympathetically near the pair of rather plain looking scissors that rested on her side of the counter to emphasize his point.<br/><br/>For the first time since spying him entering her shop, the woman turned towards Kevin, her somewhat narrow eyes carefully inspecting him from head to toe in silence for a moment before a slight exhalation of smoke seemed to indicate a decision made. Beckoning Toshiro towards her with a somewhat gnarled hand, she leaned into his ear as he bent down towards her, her words eliciting first raised eyebrows, then a wide grin, and finally a smile and a warm hug from the much taller man. Straightening up he turned towards Kevin with a last nod towards the remaining employees before answering the young soldier's previous statements with the same wide grin still spread across his face, “Well I'm glad you've kinda come to your senses, I wouldn't use the mission as an excuse to make up though, it'll set a bad precedent for the next time you two get in an argument.”<br/><br/>Again Toshiro's smile faded at the mention of his previous romance, and he only quickly replied with a more curt than usual tone, “Sometimes they were a nice girl, but more often than not they were neither.”  Holding the door open for Kevin, Toshiro quickly moved past the subject again, “There you go again, settling into what's comfortable. Camos, friendships, but take my word for it, sometimes the cargo shorts feel better than you ever could have imagined. Food for thought.”<br/><br/>Stepping outside with a slight readjustment of his messenger bag over his shoulder and a quick look at his phone to see if anything important had come up, Toshiro looked around the various nearby shops for a moment before regarding Kevin again, “Well, we did my first place first.” Gesturing towards the rest of the city street he added with a hint of curiosity, “So, where to next Soldier?” It was difficult for Toshiro to imagine that someone who dedicated as much of his time to training as Kevin could have any interests outside of being a soldier and being around Mallory, but he certainly hoped Kevin had it in him to surprise the scientist. On the other hand, there was a sizable chance that Kevin had had more than his fill of Toshiro for the day, and he didn't want the younger man to have to follow him out of obligation, so this was as good a time as any to go their own ways if that's what suited the soldier.
