If they're dangling, down here...

[he reaches around him to pinch the lower cartilage of his left ear.]

You could make them match. Up here is cute too-- but you need smaller earrings.

[here, see? he's poking the tops of his ears now. C:]

[catamite]

[his ears totally twitch, and one even flattens back a little, as Robin pokes at them.]

Oh, yeah. I guess that would, like... dangle right into my ear.

[haha, he laughs.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Very ticklish. So distracting...

[he plucks at a couple of the feathers on the boa too, leaning lightly on Nel's shoulder while he straightens them out...]

You know, I just think it would be a shame for you to not wear this around your ship.

[catamite]

Yeah, you think so?

[he poses in the mirror a little, with what movement he can get way with under Robin leaning like that. one hand on hip, admiring his own flaunty reflection.

and then he turns with a smirk and a glance, and drags the tickly end of the feather wand along the underside of Robin's jaw without warning.]

I was thinking about getting this instead.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Hey, hey. None of that.

[he's not super-ticklish, but anyone would feel tickly feathers under their chin. he'll make a quick grab for the wand and, if he gets it, try to tickle him back!]

[catamite]

[and much to the shopowner's annoyance, the feather-boa aisle is filled with stupid, girly laughter as Nel loses the wand to his attacker.

just dumb giggling. it's embarrassing.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[it's pretty cute. he can't help chuckling too--but he will at least let up on the tickling.]

I will buy you a boa and a set of earrings, but you have to get the wand on your own time. Got it?

[catamite]

Really?

[the thought of acquiring new, pretty things is definitely a thrill. he might end up losing both presents within the span of a week, but he'll enjoy them in the meantime.]

Which ones? What colors?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Definitely a red boa. The earrings, though... Show me your favorites.

[he'll stop leaning on Nel to look at what they've actually got around here; he was originally hoping maybe they'd have leather something that's not hideous, but who knows...]

[catamite]

[unfortunately, most of the leather things can be found in other shops. this one seems to specialize in feathers.

and he holds up little earrings with a simple puff of stringy feathers hanging from each one. the one he's currently got is a lovely shade of blinding neon green.]

I like these... but I don't know if they'd go with the red.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

That is pretty blinding... What about orange?

[he points! there are some similar orange ones right there.]

Haha, did you see any boas in black?

[catamite]

There's like... one black boa in the back over there.

[he nods in the direction of one of the racks, and then swaps out holding up the green ones for the suggested orange ones.]

...These ones are close to my hair color, though.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, you're right...

[he walks to the back, because he wants to find that boa. he'll call over his shoulder, though--]

...Maybe the green one anyway? You can look like a pretty poppy or something. [almost immediately:] That's the name of a flower.

[catamite]

Yeah, okay.

[dooping around with the earrings for a minute, hanging a pair of hooked ones on the upper edge of his ear where he doesn't have any piercings yet]

Or I could dye my hair.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Dye your hair... to match your earrings?

[he's still in the back. give him a minute...]

[catamite]

[that's fine. he'll just be here staring at his own reflection]

No, like... to make it not orange.

[then it won't be the same as the earrings and everything will be fine. that makes sense, right?]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

What about purple?

[Robin walks back and shows up in Nel's reflection--with a stupid black feather boa wrapped all around his neck.]

[catamite]

My hair, or--

[oop! but then he catches sight of Robin and laughs! but it's a good, surprised laugh instead of anything else.]

Hey! Looks good!

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Thank you. [he leans up to fluff his boa a little...] Your hair, I was talking about your hair. Purple.

[catamite]

Oh!

[back to the mirror! where he can fidget with his hair and see them both at the same time.]

...Wow, I don't think I've done purple before.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I don't know how it'd go with the boa, but it might be cute with all of that green, and your pretty eyes...

[he'll lean over his shoulder, move his bangs around a little... doting, basically.]

[catamite]

[and he leans back, looks obviously appreciative--as cute as he can get--and just devours the attention.]

What kind of purple?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Hm... How do you feel about a darker shade?

[yeah this is pretty gay.]

[catamite]

Like with black in it?

[...which would land the shade unfortunately similar to someone else that Robin knows...]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Nah, that's too dark. It'd undermine your cheerful, charming personality.

[which is to say nothing of the internal scream he had at imagining Nel with Tek's hair and him having no idea...]
