Satoru hadn't been to the mall for quite awhile, and now he remembered why. Noise, crowds, and far too many flashy advertisements. Still, he had been ejected from the shooting range due to both Egil and Mina ganging up on him to 'take a friggin' day off, you'll kill us all otherwise!' in the words of Mina. Traitors, the both of them. Now he was stuck at the damn place because he didn't feel like fighting back through the crowds.
The gunslinger sat by the fountain and took a deep breath, trying to find some semblance of peace. The rush of the water did a fairly good job of blocking out people's voices, and the spray was cool and actually kind of pleasant, and he managed to calm down a tad. At least now he couldn't hear anyone yelling.

Xavier Heart was bored.It was Destiny's birthday in 2 weeks and he had no idea what to get a 14 year old girl.When asking Xion she just replied 'hair shit'.She'd been acting funny since he got back and he put it down to PMSing.
A hour later he'd come up with a CD ... and that was it.He spotted a familiar figure sitting by the fountain.He walked up and sat down and wrapped his arms round the man's shoulder "Hey Dad how you been doing?" he smirked

Satoru's first instinct was to pull out his gun and his hand flew to the inside of his jacket faster than the eye could track it. It found nothing but air and Satoru swore on all that ever was or will be that he would KILL Mina for taking Vera and Balthazar without him knowing about it before hand. Then the gunslinger noted who was hugging him. "Hello Xavier." He said, trying to keep calm when he couldn't freaking MOVE. He had never liked being kept in such a way where he wasn't able to remove himself from a situation if he so desired it. This counted as one of his top fears (right alongside eating Mina's cooking).

Xavier smirked "If I was going to hurt you I would have shot you like the assassin I am".He looked around before removing his grip "So why are you here?It doesn't seem like your kind of scene..." he drifted off "I see you as more reclusive person if you don't mind me saying"

He shrugged. "Can't blame you when you're right. I came here to see what had changed, kinda forgot how much I hated the damn place." He sent a glare towards a woman giving him an odd look and she hurried away. "What are you doing here now that I know you're not trying to kill me?" What could he say, old habits (like paranoia) died hard.

Xavier raised a eyebrow "Real charmer ain't cha" he muttered as he saw the woman scurry away "Bet the ladies can't keep their hands off you" he chuckled "Me.Birthday present for a friend slash sister.Problem is ... I have no idea what you buy a fourteen year old girl.My only insite into woman kind is pissed off with me for a reason I don't understand" he shrugged

"And you probably never will understand." Satoru replied, ignoring the first few comments and giving a shrug. "Unfortunately I can't help ya with either situation, I know nothing about kids and I've already got one woman-problem to deal with." He stood up, deciding to take advantage of not being hugged and actually move before it could happen again.

Xavier frowned "Well neither do ... I'm going to go with the new rule which I just came up with ... if it's jewelry and cheap buy it" he smirked "She has one of those things where you put the beads on it ... dunno what their called but I'll get lots of them" She talked about them all the time but he dismissed it as 'girl talk' and never listened and usually got hit for doing so ... he had a new challenge though ...
where the fuck did you buy that stuff?

Satoru blinked. "So where the hell d'ya think a jewler 'er whatev'r is 'round here?" His accent was coming out, and he made an effort to quell it while he could. It sounded like a good present for a girl though, not that Satoru would really know about that, but it certainly sounded feminine.

Xavier blinked "How the fuck do I know?" was what he eventually came out with after getting over the new found accent "I don't wear jewellery" he scoffed "Except for my piercings but I did them myself so" he shrugged "I don't know where the hell I'm going pops"

Satoru sighed, waiting for a moment until speaking. "Right..." Well, at least his accent was back under control. There was no way he was stooping to consult the directory, that was for the weak. "As far as I know, the shops are on this half of the mall, it can' be tha' hard ta find a-" he stopped and swore. What. The. Fuck. He had thought the damn thing was under control! Sure, it wasn't a big deal, but he preferred to blend in in Hatsu Itonami, it typically got fewer glares thrown his way than if he kept the accent.

Xavier looked at him oddly "Are you feeling okay?" he asked.He knew it was just a accent but the guy was flipping out over it "Is it the accent cos it's no big deal" he muttered.If Xavier had a accent (which really actually wanted) he'd just embrace it... well they were both different people

Satoru shook his head, scowling at nothing in particular. "I'm fine." He disliked his accent, it set people who knew about New Tokyo on edge. As a businessman, that was a bad thing to do. He was typically better with it, so why was it slipping? Maybe that was why he had been forced into a break. "Let's find that damn store and be done with it already." He was being very very careful in his pronunciation right now, though you wouldn't really be able to tell if you hadn't heard the accent.

Xavier shrugged.He knew nothing about what this guy was thinking "Funny cos that sounds like a load of bullshit to me" he muttered.Dammit Xion and her ... femaleness had to be pissy today "My thoughts exactly" he looked round ... "You know places like this remind me of how I hate people ..." he muttered.

"They're loud, obnoxious, and suffocatin', wha's there ta like?" You know what, at this point he was willing to give up on controlling the accent. It seemed hell-bent on getting out of him and no matter what he tried he couldn't get up enough professionalism to conceal it again. Besides, it'd be weirder if he just slipped in and out of it all day, and it'd make him look like he was hiding something.
