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/>“Lily you are a miracle worker! Let's see where... wait...” Toshiro's voice quickly changed from impressed and curious to one of utter disbelief. The scientist's mouth, once curled upward in pride at Lily's masterful work, nearly collided with the floor as Toshiro took in the sight of Mallory among the bridal gowns. Pushing as close to the screen as possible to make sure his eyes weren't deceiving him, he could only mouth silently for some time as he would turn between the unbelievable sight filling up Lily's laptop screen and the various expressions of his coworkers reacting to the fantastical scenario. “That's... those... those are wedding dresses,” Toshiro said somewhat dully to nobody's benefit, “But why would she be shopping  for wedding dresses?” While he'd done similar for fun and otherwise, Toshiro couldn't get past the idea that bridal gowns were not books, and therefor he couldn't quite comprehend why Mallory of all people would be interested in them.<br/><br/>Turning towards the person who would certainly be in the know more than anyone present, Toshiro asked Kevin with a loud excitement that bore little concern for remaining within their group, “Kevin!? Did... is... Mallory is getting married!? I wish you'd told me earlier! It would have saved me an awkward conversation!” As much as the scientist regretted his prospect of choice for Mallory's significant other being rejected for some unknown third party, he couldn't ignore a sense of mounting excitement at the prospect of the usually more introverted Mallory having found someone she could see spending the rest of her life with. Putting a reassuring hand on Kevin's shoulder, Toshiro offered his best sympathetic voice, “It'll be easier if you get the worst of it out of the way right now, I'd go see her and tell her you're happy for her.” Then, just as he hit send on a text to Azmodiel and Riko congratulating them on their adopted daughter's upcoming nuptials, Nerissa once again proved herself as the queen of unexpected physical affection.<br/><br/>Largely having not paid attention to the failed attempt at sparking romance between her and the now surely lovelorn soldier, Toshiro couldn't help but take a step back in surprise at Nerissa's suddenly very up close and personal presence. Once again the lanky man's expression rapidly shifted from jovial and astonished to somewhat timid as he regarded the fox demoness. Admittedly the promised sight of a freshly shorn Albion was certainly an enticing one, but the thought of leering at an unsuspecting friend who at this point seemed well beyond the desire of Toshiro's romantic inclinations was more than a little off putting for Toshiro. While he was sure someone as Nerissa wouldn't do it maliciously, it was still somewhat disconcerting that the woman who planted the initial seeds of doubt in his mind regarding his romantic chances with Albion was now attempting to entice him with what he couldn't have. Still, he owed Nerissa far more than a date, so he saw himself in no real position to deny her request as he replied with a slightly forced enthusiasm, “I never say no to a good time, the water park sounds like great way to get out of this heat.”<br/><br/>Realizing what Nerissa had and had not want to be heard, Toshiro smiled conspiratorially at the adorable fox dangling from his neck before replying with far more confidence, also loud enough for the others to hear, “You don't have to promise me that, you'd make waiting in line at the post office fun Nerissa. It's a date.” Turning towards Albion without any immediate attempt to remove his fox demoness accessory, Toshiro tilted his head in deep thought for a moment before replying helpfully, “That's true, you don't really have the hips for a slinky dress. Maybe it'd work out if you just put enough sway in your step? A bit... or a lot of padding could go a long way. I do like the idea of hair extensions though.” Looking back down at Nerissa, Toshiro gave her a concerned glance as he asked worriedly as if Albion was no longer in the vicinity, “The dress was going to be black right? I mean it's going to have to be dark with his skin tone and hair color.”
