[it's okay, roxas isn't much different. he's examining all the storefronts pretty carefully as they pass each one.
but!
eventually, they do find their way to the front of a sporting goods store that has all different sorts of equipment in the window. and then roxas spots something with potential.]
Whoa! Hey, Mary... Look at this. [he'll call her attention over to foam baseball bat in the window. it looks pretty harmless, but still sturdy.
and no dangerous blades, either. it's almost like having a keyblade? kind of?] Do you think that would work?
[he didn't event consider that. it's not a bad thing, even if he's hoping that it doesn't mean he has to try and teach two people. one is going to be difficult enough.
but it's hiro, and he's their friend. so leaving him out is not an option, especially if it's something mary wants to do.]
We could do that. I don't know if he'll want to... but it sounds like a good idea.
[this is fine, he'll just lead mary to where the employee pointed. past the wooden bats, the aluminum bats, the wiffle bats, the nail bats (wait, why are those here?) and on to the foam bats.
which, fortunately, are pretty cheap.
he'll pick one up and hand it to mary with a smile.]

Right! You can look on one side of the street, and I'll look on the other.

[ She's taking this role very seriously, giving a start every time she sees something remotely weapon-like hanging out in a window.
Mary, those are kitchen knives.
And those are pool noodles. ]

[ But she's considering it. She doesn't really want to kill, here, but... ]
no subject
[is that how it works? he doesn't have any experience with this kind of thing.]
no subject
[ ... Or at least defend herself. ]
So I should get one?
no subject
[he has his keyblades, but he doesn't want to hurt her with them by accident.]

If not, then we'll have an extra bat, so it'll be okay.
[ SOMEHOW... but she's definitely taken to the idea, as she heads inside. ]
no subject
It could always be a backup... in case we lose it or something. [can they even do that? who knows.]

[instead of standing outside the store like two clueless puppies.]

[ ... By which I mean Mary will go in, someone will say hello, and she'll instantly duck behind Roxas. ]
no subject
but whatever, it's fine. he'll just ask where the bats in the window are and get a kind point in the right direction. this isn't so hard at all...
look at roxas, getting slightly better at interacting with people.]

They're pretty light!
no subject
I don't think this would hurt my arms at all! [ Unlike the... nail bat. ]
no subject
[this seems like they've come up with a good plan... somehow.]
no subject
[ GOOD JOB. Mary's definitely excited to give this baby a whirl.
... Not against giant monsters yet, thankfully. ]
no subject
I guess we'll see when we actually start but... I think it'll be okay.
no subject
Except no, not really, but it would probably be a fairly hilarious sight. ]
Yeah... um, I should have enough to buy them.
[ Since she was the one who brought it up. ]
no subject
[besides, they split things enough anyway, living in the same apartment. it's not all that much of a big deal to roxas.]
