[Zhas wanders into the cargo bay in a pretty good mood, at least for him. the last set of planets was fun. he's got himself a working weapon prototype. Coil has a birthday coming up. all good things.

he could have been wandering in for any number of things--but of course, he stops at the sight of his friend in the middle of some sort of morbid woodshop project...

he comes to a stop in the middle of the cargo bay, nowhere helpful, with a curious look on his face. his attention isn't on the hardware, though. he's looking attentively over Coil and those fancy new clothes of his.]

[mortalcoil]

[if Coil hadn't already been irked over both his approaching birthday and his current woodworking-related struggles, he probably would have caught on more quickly to what exactly Zhas was looking so curious about.

as it is, once he notices him standing there and staring at him, all he does is huff and turn toward him long enough to sign a pointed and impatient 'what?'.]

[Coil's attitude doesn't phase him. if anything, he thinks it's kind of funny.

'good clothes' is what he signs back, bringing his hand down and up to indicate that he means the entire look. 'new?'

they must be, but maybe they were purchased, or maybe they were a present, or maybe Coil's secretly been keeping a badass costume change at the bottom of his closet. a second later (as it finally occurs to him to be somewhat helpful), he crosses over and reaches for that wooden head-shape to help steady it.]

[mortalcoil]

[he looks down at himself, a little surprised and uncertain. even though new things aren't exactly his style, he still hadn't considered the fact that someone might point it out.

and now that a certain someone has, he can't tell if he's being made fun of or not.

'S-A-V-V-Y,' he halfheartedly spells out, as he lets Zhas kind of take over the dummy's head-block.]

[theboogieman]

[he makes a little sound, his minimal version of an "oh, yeah..." of agreement.

now that he's the one holding the fake head upright, he winds up with only one hand to sign himself. he tries anyway, really wanting to give him a compliment in earnest. this seems so far out of Coil's usual realm that he can't help but be impressed (and hey, he appreciates the dark-assassin style, you know?).

'looks good on you.' the head wobbles, and he takes a second to wedge it halfway onto its post so that he can attempt again with his free hand, 'makes you look older.']
