[Minato just tips the hat. And, simply:]

I like it. You gave it to me.

[survivaltricks]

[opens mouth]

[closes it again]

Ah. . .

[it's not. that special?? he though BUT WHAT DOES HE SAY TO THAT!!]

[messianic]

[Minato doesn't seem to be expecting a response at least.]

Do you need to look for more clothes while we're here? It feels like I shouldn't be the only one playing dress up.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . clears his throat and looks away! lifting a hand to tug at his bangs, slightly bashful]

I feel like it's only fair that you pick out something for me in return.

[messianic]

[... the bashful bang tugging is really cute...

Focus Minato.]

Oooohhh, okay. Let me see.

[Time to go wander the store!!

Eventually he will pull this from the rack. The quality is only Okay, but even so...]

... I bet you'd look really nice in something like this.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . huh. he actually kind of likes that style! it reminds him a bit of Joker's jacket, only less "cool and slick rebel" and more "suave and gentlemanly phantom thief."]

[his lips curve into a grin]

I'm willing to give it a try. It might even go with the outfit I have now.

[PIRATE WEAR but with a cool coat!]

[messianic]

[...!! Minato hands it over willingly at that.

Oh boy!]

Okay, that's--good. I'm glad that you like it.

[survivaltricks]

[Akira slips the jacket on easily over the pirate costume. and what do you know!! it looks pretty great, actually!!]

Ooooh. I feel so fancy.

[adjusting the cuffs of the jacket as he says this]

[messianic]

[... Huh...

Minato pauses, blinking a little, and then clears his throat.

... Akira looks a lot better than he was expecting, even.]

You really make it look natural, almost... you look great.

[survivaltricks]

[not noticing that look as he adjusts his jacket, tugging on the lapels]

Thanks. I'll take it.

This feels like a pretty successful shopping trip.

[messianic]

I'd say so too. Thanks for doing this with me.

[Minato shrugs a little.]

I didn't think it was a big deal, but... it actually does feel a lot better to have more options than the prison stripes.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah? I think anything would feel better than those.

[smoothing out his jacket. he really likes it. . .!]

But an outfit can go along way to brightening someone's spirits.

[messianic]

[He's so pleased by this, lowkey.]

You're right. I'll be sure to wear mine more too.

We're making the best of things here, and I'm glad.

[survivaltricks]

Well, now that we're all decked out for the day ahead, why don't we go hang out at the pool bar? I'm itching for a game of darts.

[messianic]

Mm... okay. That sounds good.

Let's do it. Just don't expect me to be any good yet.

[then they go and play a game of darts again???

is there anything else we should do here]

[survivaltricks]

[NOPE. THIS HAS BEEN ANOTHER EPISODE OF PROTAGS BONDING]
