Unlike the others, Hiro did not pat the small girl on the head. He had already filled his quota of that in the last hour. Next time though. Probably. Anyway, he waited for everyone to finish speaking before adding on his two cents to the animal eared lady in front of him.

[color=slategray]"That sounds great, I would be happy to be a repeat customer. My name is Hiro, and I will take that nicer outfit with the deep red shade and black trim. I feel like that one fits me the most."[/color]

He flashed a brilliant smile, illuminating his usually somber face. It was getting a little crowded here, but maybe that wasn't a bad thing. There were upsides and downsides to adding people to the group at this point. On the downside, it becomes increasingly likely that their secrets are found out and someone realizes that the three of them are truly not as they seem. On the other hand, when trying to blend in, you should be among a crowd. They would only stand out more and more if they were not with others. And the more people to blend in with, the less they would pop out to observers. 

These thoughts were all running through Hiro's head while he carried on this conversation and observed his surroundings. Were one to pay close attention to him, they would realize that there was not a moment when the boxer's eyes stopped flicking from place to place. Taking in the surroundings and absorbing any information that could potentially be useful if something were to happen. His head was unfortunately filled with thoughts more than just how soft the animal eared beauty's ears must feel. Truly tragic. 

Regardless, after voicing what he wished to purchase, he turned back to and dipped his head to Irene. He flashed another smile, but this one much more sincere than the showman's smile he had been showing earlier. His eyes were much softer than they had been all day while his lips curled up.

[color=slategray]"Thank you both for your kindness. This place is like a whole new world to me and I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't run into kind people like yourselves."[/color]

Those words were from his heart. He remembered that they had been welcoming before he had died as well, and even if they just felt like they were repaying him for telling them of the ambush earlier, he knew more than that.
