[ he’s not sure he believes him, but he doesn’t press his buttons anymore… since he’s either lying or just plain sick of his shit. either or means he should probably back off, so back off he does. ]
Gambler; I’m fine.
Gambler; Just bored ðŸ«
Gambler; And for the record, I told you how I was doing the other day.
Gambler; But I just thought I would do a little shopping… or at least see what this place had to offer.
Gambler; Have you been here before?

Gambler; Have you been here before?
Gambler; …I’m not sure this is the place to look for dress shirts.
Gambler; Maybe… titty tassels and assless chaps, but no dress shirts…
[ sends him a picture of the ‘clothing’ …which mostly consists of leather, and isn’t clothing so much as straps and belts and etc. ]

Gambler; If you really want to do some shopping… sure. I’ll meet you there.

[ he waves at sunday as he approaches, ] Hey. I haven't had a chance to shop around this place, but it's really nice to finally have an actual clothing store.
What were you doing in the swamp? [ he steps inside and immediately begins wandering around. it helps that he's not looking for anything in particular, so he can just let his curiosity get the better of him. this place is new, and there's plenty to see... even if it's a bit primitive, it's always fun to see the kinds of things this place has to offer. ]
Nothing recreational. I was simply fulfilling a task for my burden, and no amount of extra layers had protected me from the filth and the stench of the school.
[ He grabs a cart and heads towards the business formal section to browse. ]
I will likely have to learn to tailor everything myself since most of these are generously sized for someone broader and taller than I. Would you like to bring a nice three-piece suit to Dr. Ratio?

…ouch. At least it’s over and done with, and hopefully that’s one place you’ll never have to revisit. What did you ask for anyway?
I still have to do my burden, but I’m just procrastinating at this point. It’s not hard, but I do need to find a few tools to make it go faster and smoother.
Do you have a sewing kit? And don’t worry about the doc. Isn’t this a little retail therapy for you, Sunday?

I asked for my piano back. It is in the bar, so perhaps you might catch a performance while you visit, and I could help you with burden if you want it done quicker. Simply let me know what you need done.
I do not have a sewing kit, but I am sure I can find some supplies if I look around long enough in this store. As for retail therapy, I am not sure if I would call it that when most of the garments are not to my personal tastes...

Architect; No. I wanted to talk.
Architect; Can we... meet up?
Architect; Can we... meet up?
I will. I plan to be there more often... especially since my task is to build a small gambling table for my burden. [ a chuckle. ] Once I get the materials I may enlist your help, but I would rather ~earn it. [ or win it. ] Play a game with me, and if I win, then you help... if I lose, well, ...you can ask anything you like of me.
Maybe this new store has some stuff. [ snorts. ] What? You don't think you'd look good in that?

Architect; ...since it's late, uh, ...Foodland is the closest, but that's not really the ideal place for a chat.
Architect; How about just outside the Apartments?
Architect; At least for now.

[ kaveh joins him outside and has to refrain from immediately jumping him for another hug. ] I spoke to Alhaitham, so... I said I would let you know how it went. [ he takes a step closer, reaching for sunday's hands. ] It went well. [ he squeezes them. ]

If you truly wish to make it even more of a challenge for yourself, I can indulge you. It is the least I can do since you have put yourself at risk for my own burdens before.
And I would definitely not look good in most of these. The patterns are too much of an eyesore, but you might.
[ He grabs a few old man sweaters and dress shirts for himself before holding up this monstrosity for Aventurine's eyes. ]

We talked about our relationship. And how we never properly... expressed ourselves. It was freeing. But I also talked about you. And us. [ he takes a step closer, ] He said his feelings for me would never change and that he'd love me no matter what.
I don't want to abandon what we have, Sunday, because not only does it mean a whole lot to me, but I also really care about you too. If... you'll still have me and if you truly are alright with something as... strange? as this, then... I would like to still continue our relationship...

I am glad you finally got everything out in the open and that it worked out for the both of you, although...I am not sure how to proceed. There is a part of me that will miss having all your attention and time, but that is a selfish sentiment. And not one I deserve to entertain after all the things I have done.
[ His wings droop as he pulls his hands away so he can clasp them behind his own back. ]
I may need some time to adjust expectations and for my own feelings to simmer. We can take things slowly while you and Alhaitham also explore your feelings for one another.
