cait blinked slowly at the young person standing before her, visibly bemused by the admittance. their words were vague enough to be interpreted in a multitude of ways, the individual before her struggling to articulate their meaning. she gave a little sigh and shook her head, her brows raised high upon her forehead. 

"
'shouldn't be in here?'"

the woman jerked a thumb in the general direction of a man, their fellow customer in the midst of mulling over which perfume he should buy. then she gestured toward a couple a stone's throw away, the young man and woman discussing which bra suited the latter.

"
this isn't a sex-restrictive bathroom," she informed. "your gender when you walk in is completely irrelevant. doesn't matter if you're a 'he, a 'she' or a 'they'. a customer's a customer."

cait shrugged, replacing the lip gloss upon the shelf. 

"
just let me know your pronouns and we can keep looking around."

Mochi had been so caught up in his nerves that he didn't notice the other people in the store. He always heard this place was more for woman and honestly, Mochi didn't know how else to see it. Yes he was a dunce that way but then again, he never had a reason to think about it or challenge that view. He never saw himself coming in here before and his nerves were just destroying him at the moment. So it easily blinding him to everything else in the moment. What was the point of hiding it anyway?

A sigh left Mochi and he merely pulled the wig off. Revealing his short, slightly darker brown hair. While his feminine features were still there, you might be able to easily put two an two together.

"I'm just...a guy...I just wanted to be someone else...for a little while. I didn't think it could easily go out of control like this..." mochi admitted. "I'm sorry...I just...I just didn't think all this could happen. I promise I'm not doing this for any negative reason, honest!"

The chansey patted his leg once more, trying to calm her trainer down. Course she looked to Cait and her shiny pokemon, she tried to help explain the case to the grass pokemon.

(notes and now his face looks like what's in the big avatar picture lol)

her lilligant released a bemused noise before giving a shrug, merely accepting the normal-type's explanation. 

"
there's nothing wrong with being a man and wanting to dress up in traditionally feminine clothing."

some men wore it better than women in a multitude of occasions. her friend - - for example, could rock a pair of heels and walk upon the elevated shoes with a spindly grace.

"
actually," she said, taking in his short brown hair and soft features. "put your wig back on. it looks good on you. i'm well-versed in the art of weave and can offer a few tips and tricks."

the style of the wig - despite its quality - was exceptionally plain. 

"
it's a good style. but i honestly recommend a wig cap instead of just tucking your natural hair in there. it'll help the wig stay in place and also prevent your own hair from sticking out."

cait eyed mochi up and down, tilting her head lightly to the side.

"
or... was this just a one-time thing?

She wasn't mad? Like...she seemed to be accepting of it? A surprised expression came to his face as he stood there. The instruction to put the wig on back on also surprised him. Blinking for a moment, he slowly obliged. Slipping the item on and making sure it was on straight before they pulled their hands away from it.

"Oh?" mochi replied in regards to the wig cap.

This time, his voice was almost back to it's normal tone. He was still nervous but not as badly. His chansey smiled, putting her little hands together and beeming with joy. She really did like her trainer and seeing him trying something new always made her happy.

"No I've...I've worn the wig before. I just...I just...I just haven't done anything else. Honestly when wearing it I...don't really talk since I don't know how to throw my voice or anything. And I haven't figured out how far this..will go." mochi explained. "This is honestly just something to try and get away from everything that I deal with, I just want to be a different person if only for a little while then I feel a little beter for a small amount of time."

Taking a small breathe in, he realized that he was just repeating himself with barely anything added on.

"Honestly when I walked into the shop and bought this, I didn't really think about it. I just did it.." Mochi added, shrugging weakly.

"
your voice isn't super deep," she said. "and most people wouldn't really care to mention it if they noticed. not unless they wanted to pry."

cait had initially noticed, but it failed to warrant  a response out of her. the most dramatic conclusion that could have come about was the presumption that mochi was trans, which just meant that their vocal chords didn't suit their respective gender in a traditional sense.

"
if you want to pass as a woman i'd suggest going beyond the wig, baby boy."

the woman pointed out the items that had been put on display; the sparkling, shiny or colorful containers meant to draw a woman's gaze. 

"
this stuff is fun to apply if you get into the habit. a spritz of perfume - some gloss - lotion to moisten up the skin..."

cait clicked her tongue, left to ponder over mochi's origins and their reluctance to inhabit a store like this one.

'i guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.' 

"
are you from a conservative household, by the by? where stuff like this is considered taboo?"

Mochi just wanted to pass off as a different person, he hadn't really figured out if he was going to try to be more like a girl or not. It had been hard to figure out since it wasn't exactly what he was going for. The whole mistaken for a girl thing was a surprise when he first wore the wig and after that he slowly noticed his more femmine build naturally, so it was all just how the events unfolded.

"Well...I..." Mochi started, trying to recall if one would consider the temple a conservative place or not. "I don't exactly..live in a household, I..I live in a temple...so all my knowledge of stuff is kind of just..collected from school and small town environment outside of the temple."

Was that a poor way to answer it? Yes. But that was also due to him not being sure if the temple workers were conservative of not. It was just what he grew up seeing and hearing. It didn't help that he read random things at times and he was already a nervous sort of person.


"HOusehold life isn't that different from living in a temple....is it?" Mochi asked, tilting his head.

"
it can be. my own household was a religious one."

she had been homeschooled with a focus on their religious text; but she surmised that their values differed greatly. anything pertaining to the body and one's personal identity was given a fair amount of focus, subjects pertaining to sexual education entering their respective curriculum during their adolescent years. once they transitioned into being adults, the alfric tribe were encouraged to 'go forth and multiply'.

"
so a temple..."

cait eyed the youth curiously, a hint of bemusement present within her strange gaze. 

"
which doctrine do you fall under, mochi? which god did they adhere to?"

the woman selected and eyed a test bottle after presenting him with this inquiry, lightly spraying the back of her hand before tentatively sniffing the liquid. 

"
hm. not my kind of scent.

once returned she tried another - and then another - before settling on a green bottle.

"
this one's nice. minty.

"Well..." Mochi muttered, a bit uneasy and nervous. "To be honest, the temple doesn't seem strict on that...but it is a much older temple, so they probably follow something not very...common place anymore.."

Honestly, Mochi just participated in prayers at meal time and during festival times. Other than that he left the religion stuff alone. Thankfully the kids he watched weren't old enough to need teachings about religion. So he didn't have to worry over teaching that kind of thing on top of normal things.

"I just partake in prayers at the table before meals honestly..." He admitted.

Mochi didn't feel comfortable talking about this, he wasn't sure why. Was this how Simone felt when they did prayer and someone else was around that might be against the thing? Maybe. Mochi watched Cati inspect the perfume. Sakuramochi had gone over to the clothes once more, far too curious for her own good. Though she couldn't help but clap her little hands together as she looked at one of the less revealing items for attire. And hearing this, Mochi finally looked for her.

"What are you doing over there? Please come back." Mochi requested as he went to fetch his pokemon.

he remains vague with an uncomfortable air about him and she accepts that she probed at one of his personal boundaries. cait supposed she had already pushed the male so far, so she makes an attempt not to overstep any longer. 

'a pity. i love talking about religion.'

most of their people weren't openly devout, the woman lacking for conversational partners in that particular department. 

"
alright," she said, simply. 

she selected a bottle of lotion, visibly mulling over the product. 

"
this'll work.

as he preoccupied himself with his over-eager chansey, cait decided that she'd purchase the product along with the perfume which smelled strongly of mint. she'd excuse herself for a moment, her grass-type at her heels as she joined the queue to purchase. she'd return to him with a small and pink bag filled with the sweet smelling item, pressing it into his hands.

"
try wearing this next time. or anytime, actually.

"Sakuramochi no, we're not....please stop.." Mochi requested of the pokemon, feeling somewhat deflated and a great deal tired for some reason.

His nerves were still bundled into knots, he felt somewhat fried. The chansey seemed to obey him but just for good measure, he returned her to the pokeball. Struggling to keep himself calm as he gave a relieved sigh. The chansey never had bad intentions. She just had a tendancy to get over eager with things she liked. And honestly, that did make her a little hard to handle when those moments came up.

Mochi was snapped out of it when he heard Cati's voice, not even noticing that she had gone and paid for something. The small bag was handed to him and Mochi accepted it, mainly due to him not feeling up to arguing. What was in it? He could smell something nice in there but..was it one of those perfume bottles?

"Uh...okay...th..thanks." Mochi stammered out. "I...I'm sorry about earlier...I just...didn't know what to do and felt overwhelmed.."

cait tittered softly and shook her head from side to side. 

"
it's all good, baby boy," she said. "just be a little bit more confident next time around. you look good."

'a little plain - but it still works.'

the woman offered the youth a comforting pat on the shoulder, hoping it would put him at ease. she'd gesture toward the exit, allowing him to take advantage and leave the store without fear of being dragged back. cait immediately turned her attention back to the valentine's selection as her lilligant gave a stretch, intent on surprising with something particularly sexy.

"
i wonder if he'll like this one..."
