Who: Shinjiro and you! (open!)
Where: Out and about the city, or in the apartments.
When: General span of the event, during the day. But you can set it at another time.
Summary: It's so hot! How hot is it? So hot that Shinjiro is shedding his extra layers of clothing.
Warnings: Shinjiro's mouth?

Shinjiro's coat and hat are more than just clothes. They're like a second skin. While he changes his clothes everyday, the worn red pea coat and black beanie cap are a mainstay. He rarely leaves home without them on, even when it's hot out. He's learned to adjust.

He never imagined that this new world would be so...hot. The citizens of Saeng Seong have no problems with this strange sudden heat wave that's come up. Shinjiro shouldn't either, but he's sweating so much that his outfit has started to cling to him uncomfortably. Sitting in the shade was his first attempt at escape, but even in the dark areas away from sunlight, Shinjiro still suffered. He wore swim trunks and flip flops in hopes that the breeze and standing in water would cool him off, but it was like standing in a hot bath. Shaved ice, ice cream, bottled water, and popsicles did little to nothing to lower his temperature. You could probably drop a bucket of ice down his back and he wouldn't notice.

Right now, can't take it anymore. As much as he doesn't want to, he'll have ditch the items that make him feel secure. He peels off his drenched coat and holds it out in front of him, panting a bit. He should feel better, but the warmth persists. Maybe it's a fever...or maybe he just needs to find another visitor and see if they're feeling the heat like he is.

"Not happy about the idea?" He "guessed?" It didn't exactly sound as if he really liked being around these people, but once he thought about it, there could be any number of reasons for the way Shinjiro said it. He shouldn't be making assumptions... "Ah, never mind."

Shinju nodded in agreement. "I guess that could be. And maybe it's better that way."

"Oh?" The names took him by surprise, the first especially. "I've already met Minako, back when we first got here. So she's a friend of yours, huh? She's definitely the friendly type."

Now that he finally found a common thread between them, maybe it would be easier for them to become friends, too.

Shinju let out a quiet laugh at his description. "If you're all friends, maybe I'll meet him soon. I guess I can find out what kind of 'something' he is then."

Sure, he couldn't tell they were best friends, but just knowing they were friends was enough for him to understand a little about what Shinjiro meant: someone who was exasperating or a little over the top sometimes while still managing to be good to you. He knew how that went.

He really did seem to be looking forward to such a meeting. The more friends he could get, the better, to be honest. It may have been something of a petty reason to make friends, but... as much as he didn't want to admit it, he'd been lonely.

"Minako knows him too, right? You two can introduce us." More people who knew each other before coming here, and he didn't even know. He couldn't help but hope that he might be able to get close enough with someone as they would be with a friend from their own world.

"If you want to, anyway."

He hadn't missed the hesitance in Shinjiro's nod. He didn't really want to force him into something he didn't want to do, even if he was looking forward to meeting his and Minako's friend.

"Minako probably will without me asking at some point, anyway, right?" he said with a smile, hoping to put Shinjiro more at ease. "I'm a little surprised she hasn't already, but... oh well."

"You're right... I guess I should be more patient."

His attention is caught by the appearance of the magazine in Shinjiro's hands, and he can't help but be a little intrigued by the subject. Maybe this is something they have in common...?

"Oh, do you cook often? I've been making things a lot lately. I joke with one of my friends here about always making him things to eat when I see him."

Shinju watched him for a moment as he counted off... something on his fingers, and he had a feeling it was the time since he'd been able to cook.

"Maybe this place will give you the opportunity to pick it up again," he suggested. "It's been kind of a challenge learning to cook here, since they have a lot of things I've never seen or heard of before, but it's been fun, too."

With the magazine open, he let his gaze stay on Shinjiro for another moment, watching his expression. Then he turned his attention to the pages, small smile on his face and feeling like he'd gotten somewhere with their conversation.
