"Thanks!" she said, giving him only two bags. Being one of the Emerald gembonded came with certain perks, like increased physical strength. Eventually she would show this off to him, but only when the comedic timing was ripe.

"Those are good ideas, too. I guess I could wear your shirt, if you don't mind!" She bit back a smile, resisting the urge to ask him if he could loan her his skirt too (which he obviously didn't own). He might not find that as funny as she did. "I'm so lucky you came to visit when you did!"

She walked with him down to the building lobby, both of them moving through the automatic doors and back into the rain. She flinched a little, but adjusted and quickened her steps. "Are you okay? You look like you have a lot of experience walking in bad weather!" Obviously she meant it as a compliment, given how brightly she was beaming as the rain streamed down her face.

His own Ruby gem glistens from his right wrist. But they can talk gems later. For now, he does want to get out of the rain.

Mind? Setsuna looks down a little, smile growing on his lips.

"No, I don't mind. I'd think you'd look cute in my clothes," he blabbers, only to realize afterwards. His face warms, hoping Orihime won't think that too forward of him.

"Ha! I don't know about that. But I'm good. Wanna get out of the rain as soon as we can, though."

She didn't seem to think anything of it at all, mostly because she was checking the street for traffic before stepping off of the curb. Either she hadn't heard him, or she didn't think it was all that unusual for him to say she was 'cute.'

Or, maybe, she just didn't believe that he intended to flirt with her, so his comment wasn't worthy of a deep scour for a hidden meaning.

She looked back at him and smiled, nodding once, before quickening her steps to help speed them along to his apartment.

Once they got through the doors, she had to admit, it was a relief not to feel the constant spatter of heavy raindrops falling onto her head and shoulders. She was chilly, but only to the point of goosebumps, not shivering. "I haven't seen your apartment yet. Did you decorate it the same way as last time?" Or maybe he hadn't bothered to decorate at all, if he was like her and was satisfied with whatever the government offered for free.

[failed_antichrist]

Setsuna wasn't the type to flirt. Him saying he thought she was cute simply meant she was cute to him.

As for decorating, Setsuna gives Orihime a sheepish smile.

"I, uh, haven't really done much with the place," he admits. He doesn't like being there, and when he is, he just doesn't want to do much in general.

He turns on the light for his place and puts the bags he has in the kitchen.

"Why don't you put that stuff anywhere you like in the fridge, and I'll get a sweater for you, and dry clothes for me. Then we can take my umbrella and go to a hotel."

[leekspins]

Oh? Sure enough, when he opens the door and lets her in, it's a plain apartment with basic furnishings. There's no personal touches anywhere that she can see. Maybe he plans to move somewhere nicer later, but... Hm. Maybe when the weather is nicer she can coax him into exploring a home goods store and get him a picture for his wall, or some books and games, even a cute potholder in the kitchen.

She slips off her soggy shoes at the door, quickly slapping a smile back on as she nods in agreement. "Thanks! I'll be fast!" Just so she wouldn't drip too much on his floor.

Orihime hurried to the kitchen, shoving produce and ice cream into the cooling unit. She'd done her own grocery shopping for a long time now, and knew to group items that needed to be refrigerated or frozen in the same bag, so she didn't have to dig too much. The rest of the items she set out neatly on the countertop off to the side, subtly putting the snacks toward the front to see if Setsuna would show interest in any of them. If so, then she'd bring it with them to the hotel.

"Do you do much cooking on your own, or do you prefer to eat out?" she called to him, since she'd certainly had ample space to store her purchases. Maybe she should ask him over to eat with her more often.

[failed_antichrist]

He would explore anywhere with Orihime, so if she wanted to look at goods store to liven things up,he would go gladly. He's not into books, but something cute, something Orihime likes, sure. He could put something like that up.

There's a curve to his lips, to see Orihime's shoes placed along side his. To have a visitor. Suddenly his little space doesn't seem so lonely.

"It's nice to deal with someone that understands shoes belong at the door. I don't have to tell you not to track them all over," he playfully tells her as he goes off to get dressed.

He comes back in dry clothes, and hands Orihime a dry, thick sweater.

"I like making my own stuff," he admits with a shrug. "That way I have something of home, and don't forget all the stuff Sara taught me. But sometimes I like trying the local stuff. Something new."
