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/>Toshiro wanted to argue that he had enough faith in Mallory's character that she wouldn't discard a lifelong relationship with Kevin for the sake of something as minuscule as a romance gone sour, however the scientist's limited romantic experience really didn't argue in favor of this happening one way or the other. There was no withholding a look of mounting incredulity on Toshiro's face at Kevin's claim that he'd seen connection ruined by an attempt at romance 'too many times.' “I kinda think you're making that up Soldier, eighty percent of your social interactions seem to be focused around Mal, with the other twenty spent playing around in training with Azmodiel.”<br/><br/>Absentmindedly wiping his sleeve across his eyes, Toshiro compared the values of various socks as he added flatly regarding Kevin's parents, “Your parents are hard to get along with? I am shocked. Shocked.” Toshiro was not shocked, and he made very little attempt to hide that fact. This was less due to a desire to antagonize Kevin and more in memory of a few... heated debates that Toshiro had had with Jack Finch in the past.<br/><br/>“Oh I wasn't saying you should risk your relationship for the sake of anyone else, fuck what everyone else thinks. No, I was saying you should test the waters because Mal deserves better than,<em>'comfortable.'</em>” Shrugging his shoulders, Toshiro kneaded the socks' soft fabric between his fingers as he contemplated how to answer Kevin's potentially dangerous question. “A romantic entanglement? That's... that says a lot that you'd call it that. But yeah, I've been tangled up in work romance. It was before I worked at SOPHE. Ended poorly. Started poorly now that I think about it.” Turning to face Kevin with raised eyebrows and a somewhat perplexed smirk he continued, glad to change the subject from his previous romance, “We don't know about my social life? What you and Mal, or you and everyone at SOPHE? That's less a question and more a statement, isn't it?”<br/><br/>Walking over to the display of dress pants, Toshiro began to carefully examine the various pairs before adding nonchalantly, “What'd you want to hear about? I'm an open book.”
