dycroft | 007 ☀ Stahn Aileron, Kashuu Kiyomitsu

[No one will care but Kashuu, probably. But Kashuu will also care so much that it'll make up for anyone who doesn't...]

You're out on the beach! Tons of people will be here eventually, probably, so you should look your best.

[He's already fishing around for another hair tie?! The beach isn't even that full, someone tell his ass to settle down.]

What about something like - oh, this white! That'd match.

Am I trying... to impress someone?

[he's really confused, they're at the beach, sure. but what does that have to do with how he looks? why does he need to look his best when they're there to just hang out and go swimming?

kashuu aesthetic is something that really baffles stahn sometimes.

either way...]

White's okay too, I guess. As long as it ties my hair back...

Maybe we should get you something cute to put in your hair too, while you have it up like that...

[Meanwhile, his ass completely ignores the first question since clearly Stahn's joking! "Am I trying to impress anyone", he says, like the entire world isn't a stage waiting to be impressed. Gosh, that Stahn, so funny.]

Ooh, maybe you could do a braid someday, too. Like one of those beach styles! You'd let me style your hair again, right?

[RIGHT, STAHN, RIGHT.]

A beach.... style braid?

[kashuu, he doesn't even know what that is.]

That sounds like a lot, ahahah....

[even if he trusts kashuu to not destroy his hair, after the last hair-styling experience, he's still wary. he's truly too simple a soul for this life.]

[Meanwhile, Kashuu is already getting swept away by visions of loose and chic braids with stupid little beach trinket-y decorations that would totally put Ariel and her sisters to shame... Maybe he can go scouting later and find some nice sea shells, even! Yes, a good plan, good work Kashuu.]

It's not! The whole point of beach-style stuff is to look good without actually putting a lot of effort into it. Or, like... at least make it look like you didn't put a lot of effort into it.

[Welcome to yet another side of the wild world of fashion, Stahn.]

Wouldn't it be easier to not put a lot of effort in if you're trying to look like... you're not putting effort in?

[he doesn't get this at all. he's asking so sincerely because the concept of putting a lot of effort into looking like minimal effort was done just for... a hairstyle is...

weird?

stahn definitely does not get this kind of fashion thing at all.]

[DOES ANYONE REALLY. Not even Kashuu gets it, probably - he just knows it's the hip cool thing for trendy people to do, and so he is here for it.]

No way! There's totally a difference between actually not putting any effort in and just making it look effortless. Like... bedhead versus super messy, pretty and relaxed curls!

...I don't think I get this at all, Kashuu...

[this is just confusing him even more, honestly. it sounds like way too much work to him.]

[It's too much work, no normal person would go through all of this trouble and yet here Kashuu is.]

I'll show you someday, okay? When you let me do your hair again.

[Just stating it like it's definitely going to happen RIP IN REST, STAHN.]

A-ny-way! If you don't wanna do it now, that's fine - let's go check out that food before it gets bought up by everyone else!

[there's definitely A Face that he makes at the thought of having his hair done—he's so not prepared for this life yet.

it's definitely better to focus on the other stuff for now—at least stahn is easily distracted enough that he won't be dwelling on it.]

Oh, right! We don't want to miss any of it!

[that would be the real tragedy today, apparently.]

[It's the most unfortunate side effect of being friends with Kashuu - having to deal with his Literal Nonstop Fashion Parade.

But he's easily distracted too, at least, so there's that!]

People always get the good flavors so fast, y'know?

[He complains, while planning to snatch up the good flavors himself... He'll also stop several times on the walk to readjust his sandals and beach sleeves (which he is totally still wearing because sunburn is the skin's enemy!!) though, so he's not the fastest-moving beach-goer...]

[stahn, on the other hand... is easily clad in just swim trunks without very much care for what the sun may do to him.

(he's wearing sunscreen, it's fine??)

he's got his flip-flops and he's just casually enjoying it all, patient enough with kashuu needed to stop. it doesn't bother him.]

I wonder what flavors they'll even have. I didn't get a good look at it since I was running!

[SUNSCREEN IS ALL ONE REALLY NEEDS unless they're Kashuu "anyone who sees me naked will die" Kiyomitsu.]

They'd better at least have strawberry and peach.

[AND LO, once they get there, that's exactly what they have!! ...And like, fifty other flavors, honestly. This is one well-stocked cart. Kashuu's almost intimidated?!]

Woah... How are we supposed to choose from this?

[kashuu isn't the only one—stahn is pretty amazed at what he's seeing.]

Whoa...

[he's kind of overloading just reading all the flavors. so many fruits, some he's never even heard of, plus a bunch of other crazy flavors too.]

They all sound really good... I don't know what to get at all!

[and then he tilts his head at a particular flavor.]

Durian... ice cream? [really? really? that's a weird flavor.]

[DURIAN. Which right hand of satan put this here...]

Some of these sound a little...

[Hm. A LITTLE HM. He's looking from one end to the other, interested in some and concerned by a handful.]

—Is that sea salt and cucumber?

That's what it says...

[but stahn is scrunching his nose, because that just... doesn't sound like a good ice cream flavor. he doesn't have any problem with cucumbers, but.

as ice cream?]

Maybe we should just find something that sounds like it should be ice cream...

That's what I'm thinking. I don't wanna get stuck with something gross...

[Because he, fussy moron that he is, will absolutely dump it out like right within eyesight of the vendor, probably. Stop Him.]

Mmm... I wonder if those "lemonade" flavor things are any good?

[yeah, it's probably better they just avoid that in general.]

I don't know... they could be? Lemonade is pretty tasty! I don't know about as ice cream, though.

[though he's getting distracted by the name of another flavor. what does it mean.]

Rocky Road... [what would even be in that.]

[ROCKY ROAD. Kashuu temporarily abandons his post at the Lemonade Section to look over at this, because what the heck...]

Huh... What does that even mean? Where's not dirt in here, is there? Hey— [Turning his attention to the attendant, help them.] Is there dirt in here?

[The poor person just looks baffled, like they can't tell if Kashuu is joking or not... FOOLISH FOOL.]

...Or...

Rocks?

[he is peering at this. truly, this poor vendor has no idea what kind of idiots he's dealing with.]

I don't think rocks or dirt would make very good ice cream. That's even worse than durian!

[they need so much help. and stahn is, of course, completely earnest about this.]

[MORON ONE AND MORON TWO HERE. They could have their own Dr. Seuss book written about them...]

...I'm gonna get one.

[Who's the biggest moron, though. It's this one.]

Like, just a small scoop... I'm kinda curious, you know? Like, are you? I'll get a good flavor too, though.

[Just in case he has to wash the taste of dirt and rocks out of his mouth.]

I'm curious, but... I think there are other things I want to try first.

[not just normal flavors, either. he's kind of eyeballing something interesting—]

I think I'm going to try this one. Black Sesame... it doesn't sound like it should be in ice cream. But I think I'll get some vanilla or something, too.

[just in case it's really bad at weird.]

Huh...

[He hadn't even spotted that one. There are just too many to look through...!]

I'll trade you a little of mine if you trade me some of yours. ...If it doesn't taste super terrible, I mean.

[WHO KNOWS with flavors like rocky road and black sesame. They're really living on the edge here.]

Oh! Yeah.

[and maybe a little even if does taste terrible, honestly.]

Maybe they'll end up being good, and we'll have some new flavors to like!

[stahn wants to be optimistic about it even though... he's really so, so unsure that any of this will taste good.

you know, aside from the vanilla, at least.]

Maybe... That'll be a pain, though. We'll have to come aaall the way out here if we ever get a craving for these again, you know?

[As if these flavors don't exist anywhere else?! Okay, Kashuu, okay...

BUT he'll just place down the orders for their respective ice creams, requesting each one in a different bowl, much to the chagrin of the poor worker that's stuck dealing with them. He'll also slide payment over himself because SURPRISE.]

My treat! Since you went through the trouble of bringing stuff and running over here so fast.
