Rocket’s ship

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"I know. And you should just don't expect a fairy tail." I sigh and shake my hand. "You know while we're here we should get you proper kit and some binders..... that is if you want. You can go on your own I just don't get to shop anymore since I'm all metal." I grin

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"B-binders?"

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"They compress your chest help you look more masculine" I say smiling

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

He blushes a bit. "I don't have... I dont have a lot of chest, I just-- is it that common? To want to.... masquerade as a boy?"

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"It's not uncommon" I say with a smile "and even if you don't have a lot it still helps and supports them while also making them look more like pecs"

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"I guess that makes sense. It's dangerous out there for women."

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

Reaper and I shar a knowing look and I smile. "It certainly can be." I smile standing and leaving a few coins on the table as a tip. "Come on there some great shops here."

I can't help the exit ment of shopping for cloths. I haven't worn anything other than armor in 70 years. I know technically I can take most off this but I just never have. Still I can't help but want kor to have the best he can have

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

Kor sure appreciates the shopping; he stands rather out in his samurai outfit, something comfortable and casual on Edo but the further they get from that eccentric planet the stranger his clothing seems. He browses traditional menswear, running his fingers over denim he's never been allowed to wear, boggling at the many different fits and sizes. They have to get help to figure out his size, get a sales clerk with a measuring tape, but soon enough he's wearing plain clothes for the first time: some tight jeans that show off his butt nicely, and a t-shirt that reads "I'm not for everyone"

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

He looks so much older... I think to myself staring ar kor in his new cloths. He never was a kid but there's something about Edo fashion that makes everyone look like a kid in their parents bathrobe playing dress up. Still looking at him now he looks like a handsome young man and I can't help but feel a twing in my heart.

He'll never want a monste like you that angry voice in the back of my mind sounds you're old enough to be his grandmother it chimes in again I shake my head to clear it. I can apreachiate the beauty of youth with out acting alone it. Besides he's got a lot to figure out and presuming him while he does it would be wrong.

"No" I say looking up to see reaper holding up a lavender dress "you know I can't wear that stuff" I say turning away

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"Hey, if I have to try on these ridiculous clothes, you do too," protests Kor. 

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

"But it won't find over my armor!" I say

"You can take the armor off I took mine off." Reaper says teasing.

"But!-"
"No buts Kor's right try something on!"

I sigh deeply and beguin to poke around until I find it. It's in old Maris style. Red with gold brooches and that shoulder. I duck into a changing room and take a deep breath. I haven't worn anything but armor in so long. It's who I am. It's part of me. I've only ever taken it off to have sex or preform overhaul maintenance. And now I lift it off gently and slip into the red dress. And belt it with a gold cord. I stare at my reflection. No jutting mech no wires just sleek metal and flesh blended gently together. I'm the last of my crew to take off the armor... is it disrespectful?..... I don't know but I take a breath and step out of the change room

"So what do you think?" I ask softly

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"Oh wow," murmurs Kor. "You're beautiful. I mean- I mean the dress is beautiful!" 

[Ryle “Rocket” Arora]

He thinks I'm cute! Beautiful even. It's been a long time since anyone other than reaper called me beautiful. Even Tova only ever called me magnificent. I smile and turn back to the dressing room. A few seconds later I'm back in my armor dress in hand.
"Ok fine I'll get it." I say heading over to the counter

[Kuronue "Kor" Higurashi]

"Great! I'll just get changed and we'll eb on our way," says Kor, darting back into his changing room. 

[Reaper]

"You both need more than one outfit." I insist
