Once they were walking, Kris realized she had… no idea where she was going, and it was probably best to slow down and let Kiran lead. And….Oh… Her eyes flickered around taking in the numerous people that she’d almost forgot existed in Sinclair. The hour must have shifted to one of its busier times as more people seemed to be on the move, and it was becoming increasingly more difficult to ignore the gentle roar that was the thoughts and minds of everyone around her.
Kiran’s words cut through the noise, and Kris jolted slightly at it. “I… wh- oh uh… uh…” Her voice became quieter as she tried to focus on what Kiran was saying. “Y-yeah that would…. We can do that,” she spoke quickly and a bit louder than before. “Uhm,…. A cab would be fast…” Yes, Kris, clearly. “Wait- there are cabs in Sinclair?” she asked suddenly. She.. did not remember this, but then again it had been years so- yes.

"Mm?" Were there cabs? "Well-- yeah??" Whoops they hoped that didn't sound too 'duh?' But ah, it was a city, and a big one even if uniquely built. They... probably saw more cabs than any other kind of traffic really. Other than maybe cargo transport? Ah but they didn't actually pay a lot of attention to either so maybe they were guessing wrong.
"I'll app one," they said, doing so on their phone. It should only be about a minute, probably.
...In the meantime. Kiran shuffled a bit awkwardly as they typed another message.
-- ...Hey uh. Is it.. weird I'm not really sure what to wear? -- -- Almost everything feels at least vaguely gendered and I guess I'm sort of.. worried about affecting your perception of me? That's probably pretty dumb as long as we've known each other, huh. --

Yellow eyes blinked several times at Kiran’s statement, but Kris would manage a nod as Kiran said they’d app one. “Ok,” she answered swaying a little as she stood there. As her phone pinged, she glanced down and read the text. Huh? Oh, the second part did help explain a little.
She’d give a small shake of head before she looked up at them. “You’re still an ethereal celestial being of magic silly,” Kris made a face and then flashed a grin. “But uh…” she gave a small shoulder shrug. “Wear whatever’s comfortable?” That… well, as soon as she said that’s he realized that was probably part of the difficulty but – “You’ll look amazing in anything, Ki!” She tried to be reassuring instead.

Kiran quietly flustered at Kris's... er... reassurance. They knew how she meant it but they were not used to this kind of praise??? Or.. not used to getting praise from people whose opinion they gave a shit about??? Ahaha. Like... like random people had complimented them before to hit on them but??? Fuck people in the least literal sense. But as little as they socialized even that wasn't exactly common so uh... ha...
"S-sure." They fidgeted with their hair nervously until the cab arrived, then gave the address for their apartment first.
".... S-so, ah..." They shifted and fidgeted a bit more. "When we get there you uh. ... you can just... wait for a minute and I'll.... I should be right out. ...... If that's okay? Or... do you wanna eh. Maybe get... dropped off and I can like..... come back and meet you?" They were trying really hard to rely less on the phone here but not sure it was a good idea.

Sitting back in the cab, Kris’s eyes bounded around a bit taking it in. If she could stretch her thoughts out, she could kind of remember(?) riding in one of these before? Either way it was much quieter thought wise with some barrier between the inside of the train and… the inside of the car, heh. Her thoughts were pulled away, however, as Kiran spoke.
“Oh, uh, I can wait just a little and we can go together,” she assured with a smile. “It’s not a big deal to.” She played with her hair a little as a thought came and went. She uh…. Kinda wanted to see the inside of Kiran’s place, but ? That was also kind of…. Uhm… Well, she could just wait outside, and then some other time and just yeah and— Kris realized only after the fact that she was over thinking this somehow.

Kiran smiled brightly for a moment, then more subdued as they nodded firmly. Yeah! Yeah this would be fine. ..Ah, they should try to figure out what to wear before they got there so they could just run in and change super quick instead of deliberating, yeah? Yeah.
They let Kris know via text that they were gonna be thinking on that so she would hopefully be fine with the trip in silence.
By the time the cab pulled up to the small, slightly shabby apartment complex, Kiran had... some ideas but still wasn't really settled. "B-r-b," they said aloud.
An ethereal being of magic and light they reminded themself, unable to resist smiling faintly at that. Yeah... It... didn't really matter, right? ..It was kind of chilly, too. Not that Sinclair generally had very extreme temperatures, but they did cool it down a bit more this time of year to be less jarring to people going in and out and such. Maybe just... Yeah, something simple to account for that sounded okay... right?
So within a few minutes, they returned, now wearing a long sleeve turtleneck black shirt-- not a sweater, really, but a lighter and very form-fitting, borderline compressing material-- and some simple khaki pants. The outfit hugged them tightly enough to show just how thin their frame really was, and emphasized how much more narrow their waist was than their hips, but also kind of qualified for some lowkey pressure stimming, so that was nice. They were pulling their hair back to tie up even as they hurried out the door, and they had even opted for some flipflops now. They'd be kicked off 80+% of the time, sure, but it was something against the cold and in case they needed them.
As they climbed back in the car, they nervously looked for a reaction from Kris. "Any better...?"

During the course of the ride, Kris ended up playing a phone minigame as Kiran thought about what they’d wear. Once they were at their place, she’d give a nod and waited in the car, but after about a minute or two, she found herself looking out at the actual building itself. This was… not what she was expecting, but she didn’t actually know what she was expecting so… so.
She wouldn’t have to wait too long, however, as Kiran came back out. Oh! That did look really nice, and somehow the form-fittingness just …. Looked even …uh…oh-oh why were her features heating up— Uhm???? Eheheheheh this was… silly they were just… they looked really nice is all yeah! Yet as they got in the car, her features warmed all the more. Any better— She gave a quick repeated nod her eyes glancing a little more forward now. “Y-you look great!” she giggled. Just…. yes.

Oh. R-really? She's probably just being nice, their thoughts insisted. She's your best friend and she loves you, of course she's gonna wanna make you feel good whether you look good or not.
............. Wait was that supposed to be downplaying the compliment because that made them so much more flustered actually. She really. actually cared about them and had been there for them so much and now she was here and oh no oh help they were getting too overwhelmed by the reality of this again, fuck.
"..Thanks," they almost whimpered a little belatedly, so busy hoping she didn't notice their rising blush that they entirely failed to notice hers.
The ride to Pete E. Pika was much shorter than the ride to the apartment, the statue having been in the center of the shopping car while their new destination was on the far side. In that short time, though, Kiran was... actually getting pretty excited? They could play so many fun or ridiculous games and-- they have a ballpit. If there weren't too many kids in it or it wasn't too shallow they definitely had to go jump in the ballpit.
When the cab stopped and they both got out, Kiran spun around to face Kris with a bright grin. "Wha'd'you wanna do first~!"

Kris spent nearly the entire car ride trying to cool her features again. She… didn’t even really know what she was feeling??? They were just cute??? This resounding in her head again didn’t actually help. Should she tell them? But she just said they were cute? Or, rather that they looked nice? Er— what had she said again exactly? Did it really matter or? Was she overthinking this? Apparently.
She blinked back into reality when the cab stopped. Oh? They were there already? As they got out, Kris slowly found her thoughts sifting away as excitement brimmed. Getting in, she surgeyed the area almost strategically. What should they do first what should they— “Zombies!” she pointed out one of the zombie shooter games before flashing them a grin. Oh right actually they probably needed coins first. Walking over to the machine, she squinted at it before digging through her purse. The swipe of a card had her with a decent sized baggie of coins now, and she flashed a grin at Kiran. “Let’s fight some undead!” she mused toothily.

FFFFFfffffff. The got just a roll of coins for themself to start off but quickly followed her. A character selection screen and a few exploding zombie brains later, they exclaimed, "Take that!" but then couldn't help but add commentary. "Of course, shooting zombies is all well and good, but it's--"
Oh ah one was coming at them! A quick turn and a few blasts took it down. ..What were they saying? Right! "It's light magic you want if you wanna really keep 'em down!" Their shoulders shook slightly with a quiet laugh. "It's just too bad the game won't let me enchant our weapons." They interrupted themself with a sudden yelp as a zombie popped up a bit too close for comfort. Die zombie!!

An excited, devious expression held Kris’s features as she mowed down the zombies in quick succession. “Got you! And you! And yoou!” she huffed as one got a little too close and caused her to react sharply shooting in the corner. A small giggle did escape from her as she heard Kiran’s commentary.
Light magic, she knew that reference too and giggled a little too much at remembering it. Before she could say anything, however, she was squeaking a bit as two zombies came running forward. She shot one but took damage from the other before shooting it away. “We should— ep! – code some in!” she squeaked shooting another one that had wandered too close.
….Huh how difficult would that really be? Probably kind of hard considering the arcade machine wasn’t that high tech but? Maybe? Hehehe she could laugh as she imagined it anyways.

Pfff. Sure thing, they'd just digitize themselves and enter the mainframe, right? They were actually a little ashamed that their thoughts went to the Matrix, Digimon, and even that old show ReBoot before finally coming to Wreck-It Ralph, despite that being by far the most appropriate candidate.
...Oh! But what they actually could do?? Hm.. Did they want to right now? They'd ah... mentioned a few times that they were aura sensitive but it was usually in passing and in a way that had left it pretty ambiguous to whether they meant vague vibes or actual interaction with the world's life force. This was.. one of their biggest pursuits In Real Life and they tended to keep their virtual and physical lives pretty separate, so they didn't really talk about it any more than they did about daily gardening pursuits. ...Of course they thought that and immediately reali--
Zombie!! DIE ZOMBIE.
--realized they did occasionally spazz about getting a new plant they'd been wanting forever or an unexpected flower pattern or something so maybe they were just forgetting a more unambiguous thing? Well, whether she knew they had some power or not, she'd never have seen this so it sounded fun to surprise her.
"I think I can arrange that~" Keeping up their gun work as best as they could with one hand, they held the other out and started projecting their aura into flashes of golden light in front of the screen, 'smiting' the zombies as they were shot down in game. Their actual score was dropping from splitting their focus like this but shooters weren't really their forte anyway, so this was way more fun.

Can arrange that? What did they? !!!!! kasjdlaksdjalsdj ??? KAsdlkasdj???? Ki????? Her light yellow eyes practically turned to hearts upon seeing the golden lights flickering, and Kris about dropped her game gun on seeing it. They were so…. So beautiful??? Aura…Oh that was— that was right! Yes, she remembered they had mentioned it now and again but they really meant Aura huh?
…Oh no a zombie got her. Quickly paying attention to the screen again as she was revived into the game once more, Kris worked on taking out more zombies and only occasionally letting her gaze flick over in awe and interest. How did they do that? Was it like… as innate as her own abilities or? Uh? Shoot, she was dying again and needed to focus. “They’re so pretty Ki!” she spoke shooting a couple zombies in the head. “Golden lights! They’re so pretty.” She… could not get over this fact, apparently.

Kiran laughed softly, beaming at her reaction. That was... so very worth it. They kept up the flashes for another 15 or 20 seconds probably, but eventually went back to both hands on the game for the final wave of spawns. They did still want to win, and besides, the last thing they needed was some little kid to come up and bombard them with questions, so probably best not to show off for too long in public.
At last, the word VICTORY rang out, and as a small cinematic about defeating the zombies played, streams of tickets spewed out on both sides, a few more on Kris's than Kiran's. Ah well.
Looking around for what to do next or where they could maybe show off a bit more discre-- AH!? "Look!" They pointed to a small photo booth. Sure they could just... take a selfie together if they wanted but that was just? So much better? "You wanna?"

HAH! Victory was theirs! As tickets spewed forth, Kris was quick to collect them, folding them up in the bend of their squares in order to shrink them down enough. As Kiran spoke, however, her attention drew up to the photo booth. !!! Looking back to Kiran, she flashed a grin and gave a nod. Yes yes yes! Clasping Kiran’s hand, she practically dragged them over to it and pulled back the curtain before stepping into the photo booth. Ok, so a token and a reel of pictures. That was great! “Ready?” she flashed a grin before putting her token in and sitting back.
The first camera flash, Kris tried a normal sitting next to Kiran. Everything after that, however, had her making faces or putting up hands behind Kiran. That was half the fun of these things though, right? Rabbit ears and uh… mustaches and whatever!
