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/>With a pat on the back and a nod of the deepest approval, Toshiro could only applaud Lily's ingenuity in invoking Mallory's relationship with Kevin and Nerissa's surprising yet highly intriguing romantic gestures towards Kevin. “Lily, you've made us all very proud, and you've totally earned a figure all your own. Wait... Can you hack into the security cameras so we can see her face?!” At this point Toshiro had largely dropped once immaculately crafted deception that his had been for the good of SOPHE in favor of simply reveling at the opportunity to see his treasured research assistant squirm a bit. This wasn't to say there weren't work related reasons for all of this, but Toshiro firmly believed it was important to find some form of joy in your occupation.<br/><br/>As little as Toshiro wanted to have anything to do with the show Nerissa was putting on for Kevin, he couldn't help but admit that the fox demoness had an undeniable talent for flattery and seduction, and he wouldn't at all be surprised if Kevin agreed at least to a single date. While there was a part of him that felt for Mallory and the sting she might feel if this situation lead to more substantial than Nerissa's own brand of hyper aggressive flirting, it wasn't like Mallory and Kevin were actually in a romantic relationship, despite the doctor's efforts to the contrary. Shrugging internally, Toshiro continued to think the situation was best left to those directly involved. Whether it ended in embittered exes or playful polyamory, it wasn't quite his job to interfere. Not at the the moment anyway.<br/><br/>While Albion was certainly correct about his situation making Toshiro deeply uncomfortable, it was definitely not for the reasons he imagined. Now with his eyes looking somewhat downward in disappointment towards the well waxed ceramic tiles that decorated the department store's entrance, Toshiro could only reply with a light chuckle and his best attempt at sounding nonchalant, “Right, better not to say anything...” As much as he adored Albion's new appearance, it was something Albion himself seemed to not particularly care for and would not have indulged in without the<em>'requirements'</em>of the mission.<br/><br/>Toshiro had no desire to selfishly pursue an avenue that Albion couldn't derive enjoyment from save to ask a question he couldn't stand to leave unanswered, especially when Albion brought up the question regarding where they'd be purchasing their clothing, “So you'll be dressing up as a... well I mean you'd have to be. Any thoughts as to what you're going to be wearing? Something slinky but classy I'd ho... imagine. Always seemed to be your taste... in your partners I mean. Not you.” Looking past Albion towards Lily, and somewhat more hesitantly towards Nerissa, he extended the question towards them as well, less out of an actual desire to know what they were planning for themselves, and more in the hope that they might tell him what they, because they were certainly the artists behind this masterpiece, had planned for his silver haired friend.
