[Inda coos a greeting to the Zubat, too, as Felix looks over the other teas in the box to remind himself what's in there. His eyes linger over the bergamot...looks like they have that here, as well. No one will be drinking any of that until Sylvain wakes up, that's for damn sure.]

Mm. I did, yesterday. I should have waited longer. But it was...fine.

What? No. It was just...gratitude for the gifts. I wanted to get it over with.

[Then he nods.] It's certainly more convenient than boiling the water over a campfire. Although the Fire Pokemon make building campfires much more convenient, too.

[In a few minutes, his tea is finished and so is Inda's. He fights a brief internal war over whether he wants to just sit here for a little while longer or get moving, and then he berates himself for even considering the former. What is wrong with him?]

Let me know when you're ready and we'll head out.

Sure.

[Felix apparently comes to the same conclusion about dealing with this stuff later, because he gets up and leaves the room without taking any of it with him--just Inda. He goes down the hall to his own room for a minute or two, mostly to grab his coat and scarf and bag, but also to check on Sylvain briefly. Which, he tells himself, is stupid--what's there to check on? asleep is asleep--but he does it anyway, and then releases some of their Pokemon from their balls to watch over Sylvain. Then, equally stupidly, Felix presses a gentle kiss to Sylvain's lips before he scoops Inda up to sit on his shoulder. They meet Felicity again out in the hall, Felix locking the door behind him.]

Come on.

[Felix hurriedly stops the video and turns off his Gear display when she approaches, pulling his earbuds out as he looks up.] Did you find everything?

[Felix gives her a short nod and a quiet grunt of acknowledgment. Ordinarily he might try to play it off as a practical solution to some perceived problem or fulfilling some owed debt; today, on her birthday and after what that Indeedee showed him, he doesn't want to make her think this isn't truly for her. He just hopes that their...family outing...speaks for itself with what he can't bring himself to put into words.

He heads over to the register to pay for everything, ignoring whatever the associate might try to engage him in conversation about, and is abruptly glad he didn't bring Varley when he spots the shelves of cute accessories for Pokemon. She would definitely demand (and/or try to steal) something for herself.

...which takes him to the thought that if Sylvain were here, too, he would buy her whatever she wanted and call her a princess. Possibly with a literal tiara. Ugh, he's got to find a way to put Sylvain out of his mind for at least a little while.]

Where else did you want to go?

If you like, although you must have just been there a few days ago. And I certainly won't need to buy tea for quite some time. [A slight smirk.]

Why? Is there something unusual about it?

[It's not sarcasm, just a legitimate question. He can't figure out why she would need to show him a store if they weren't planning to buy anything there anyway.]

[He shrugs, too.]

I don't care one way or the other. We can visit it if that's what you want.

[He watches her as they walk along from shop to shop, even as his own attention drifts to the occasional thing in a store window that he thinks Sylvain or Inda might like. Shopping is boring, but the more involved he gets in giving gifts, the more it seems to creep into his mind whenever the opportunity arises. It's annoying, actually; it feels like some kind of insidious manipulation, although by whom he doesn't know. Himself, maybe, for being so sentimental about mere objects.

(He's still a little upset that the few possessions he really cares about didn't accompany him to this world. Like his weapons, of course, but also Glenn's spur.)

Still, at one point he does duck into a shop to pick up a tiny little pair of Steenee-sized mittens (sometimes Inda gets cold, okay??) and--glancing around to make sure no one's looking at him, yes Felicity that includes you (though he might fail)--a headband with cat ears that are obviously supposed to be Liepard ears. This is for Sylvain, so that if he ever makes Felix wear that dumb Steenee hat, he has something to use in retaliation.

And if Felicity shows any particularly strong desire for one thing over others, Felix may duck into that store too and buy it.]
