[tbh, she's ... kind of surprised he didn't take off the shorts, too. but she'll move from behind the counter, pulling some keys from her pocket. she looks .... excited?? it's so great to have all the people she loves in konoha ;;]

Alright, let's go, then. We can stop at the clothing store down the street first.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Just turning to give Zelos a look] ...Explain to me how you haven't got arrested yet? And you can't use 'my charm' as an answer.

[Aww but look, Ino's happy so that's something]

Yes, please. Let's do that right now.

[wilder]

Hmm...probably my good looks and stunning physique.

[He'll stretch a little before putting his hands behind his head. Yep. Zero shame here.]

Great! It better be good clothes though.

[ino]

You can't get arrested for walking around in short shorts, Once-ler. [GOSH. DUH. she'll gesture for them to follow her out of the store so she can lock the door behind them. look at all those ladies on the street passing by and staring ...]

Well, I don't usually shop there because it's a guy's clothing store, but they have good stuff.

[whichwayyoulean]

No, but I'm pretty sure you can if you run around naked. He's getting pretty close. [He'll follow and roll his eyes a little at all that attention Zelos is getting]

So long as the're not the really loosely defined 'shorts' he's wearing right now, it's good. He can wear a sack for all I care.

[wilder]

Don't worry, Onceler. I'm not gonna go all out- I'd hate to have you faint on us.

[Zelos meanwhile is totally loving the attention as he follows them. He so is doing stuff like smiling and giving flirty waves and looks to the women they pass. Y e p ]

...Ino, please ignore this guy and help me find a good outfit, okay? You're the expert here.

[ino]

[she gives onceler a frown. HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH A THING nobody deserves to live in a sack!] Well, it would look pretty stupid to have you looking nice and Zelos wearing a sack. [was that a compliment? .... welp. turns to Zelos] Don't worry, we'll get you something good.

[whichwayyoulean]

[He will take it as a compliment regardless] Thank you, and I'm pretty sure the ladies wouldn't mind either way.

[Hey wait a minute] What do you mean 'faint on you'?

[wilder]

Thanks Ino!

[he snorts] Dude. If it turned out you closed your eyes when you change your own undergarments? I would not be surprised.

[ino]

[trying (and failing) not to laugh over here ... she'll just be leading the two of them down the street]

I can see that.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler cats them both a scathing look]

I'm so glad you guys are my friends. You make me feel so good about myself every single day.

[wilder]

[he chuckles]

Yeah, we love you too Once-ler.

[ino]

Aw, come on, don't be mad. [she'll pat his shoulder] It's not your fault you don't know how to flaunt what you've got.

[whichwayyoulean]

Yes I do. Hell~o, former trillionaire beloved by all here. Just because I don't flaunt around like [he casts Zelos a look, seemingly trying to find an appropriate noun to describe him and coming up blank] like him, doesn't mean I don't know how to.

I just don't do it any more.

[wilder]

....Dude. You do know paying for it doesn't count, right?

[ino]

[CHOKES HAHAHAHAHA OMFG]

Zelos! [ ... totally laughing though skjhaskd]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler makes a choked sound]

Not like THAT. [He groans] Man I have to just stop speaking before I dig myself any deeper.

[wilder]

[He snickers]

I'm kidding. You got your own kinda charm, I get it.

You know, kinda like the charm a really surly and grumpy cat does.

[ino]

[ino just looks over to onceler with a sly grin]

Does that mean you posed shirtless for magazines and stuff? That's the kind of flaunting I was talking about.

[whichwayyoulean]

It wasn't that kind of flaunting! I was a businessman, seesh. [Trying his best to ignore that sly grin there, yep]

[Then, more out of spite that anything] Surly and grumpy are the same thing.

[wilder]

So? The most successful businessman I know always wears a shirt that shows his six-pack.

Used twice for emphasis.

[ino]

Well, then there you go! You don't know how to flaunt what you've got.

[opening the door for them into a men's clothing shop now, yaaay]

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm not wearing something like that, Zelos.

[Heading on inside. Good, let's clothe Zelos before women start following them]

There are other ways to flaunt things, you know.

[wilder]

[Oh please women will always follow him. He blows a kiss at a group of fawning girls before heading in with them.]

Uh huh. Like how?

[ino]

[she pats once-ler's stomach] You need to work out a little before you wear something like that, anyways.

[but she'll move to pore through a rack of clothing while she listens to his answer to zelos' question, looking for something similar to what zelos normally wears]
