[Idk about Akira, but Elliot has really bad judgement about when he should defriend someone. That's why he still likes you Ryoji. That's why.

BUT HEY a decision has been made! One that Elliot can live with too!]

Oh, okay! See you soon, Ryoji.

[A HALF AN HOUR LATER...shopping on Elliot and Akira's side went pretty smoothly! They found a number of the strange items on their list - or at least substitutes for them. Elliot even attempted to give Akira a ride in the cart! Keyword being attempted, as his sheer lack of physical strength made it a rather...slow and sad ride.

But none of that took nearly the entire time- the store isn't that big and the list isn't that large. So by the end of the half an hour, they were sitting in one of those in-store restaurants that a lot of stores have while waiting for Ryoji. And waiting. Elliot was about halfway through a fruit parfait he'd gotten for himself, when he glances at his phone's clock nervously. ]

...D-Do you think something happened to him? It shouldn't have taken this long....

[ Akira didn’t mind the slow ride... he actually wasn’t bent on getting a ride since he had his chance as a child, even if it was by himself as a driver. In the end, it was a nice stroll as they picked up their ingredients. He also added some extra stuff he would like (herbs, tofu, and some other things) that were on sale. They had a good haul!

And now they’re here at the mini food court in the grocery store. He has with him some flan, eating it slowly in case Ryoji pops up and pleads to try their desserts for whatever reason. Does a person really take half an hour to buy snacks? For a moment, he keeps his spoon in his mouth as Elliot asks the question of the hour.

Pulling out the utensil, he hums as he ponders. ]

I think he should be fine... Who would want to kidnap him, anyway?

[ Damn. He still loves you, Ryoji. Don’t worry. ]

[ Man, international food is so interesting. Did you know people eat little fermented shark meat cubes, chips flavored with roast lamb and mint, hard candies that taste like fish, foie gras bubble gum... There's nothing Finnish he can find, but Finnish snacks are like... salt and tar and fish? or something, so he's trying hard to find something Tuuri might like.

This takes another half an hour and he still doesn't leave to rejoin them. He's getting one of everything in the store, since the manager probably is never letting them back in again. ]

Ha, ouch .... You're not wrong though.

[Elliot sure wouldn't want to kidnap him. Akira's right, he's probably fine.

~HALF AN HOUR LATER~

They are still at that restaurant. Elliot's fruit parfait has been finished and thrown away. Elliot is getting more anxious by the minute.]

Okay, I'm getting really worried. W-What if he rode a cart out of the store and got hit by a car?

[That seems completely possible with Ryoji]

... If he did, he wouldn't die.

[ As morbid and gruesome as that sounds, it's unfortunately true. Akira isn't affronted by that, BUT he does understand they do need to check up on Ryoji. Something might have happened and he is worried. Throwing his pudding cup into the trash, he takes control of their cart of wonders. ]

Ryoji Search Party go!

[ Akira will start on this aisle. Elliot can follow him or go off on his own. ]

[ Ryoji is nowhere to be found.

Because his paid ran out and instead of renewing it, he's Pharos now, hanging off a full shopping cart and chatting with one of the store workers handing out free samples of various cheeses on wheat crackers; for all his charm, cute little kids can better cheat their way to more than one free sample. ]

[We'll just say Elliot tagged along or Akira will end up with two lost people in the store.

But Elliot, who never found out that Pharos and Ryoji were the same, keeps looking for an adult! He'll notice that Pharos is talking to a shop clerk, but he doesn't make the connection at all. Instead he makes a "huh" at seeing the kid from move-in day, and keeps looking around]

[ It's okay, Elliot. Akira remembers this little guy and scoops Pharos up from leading his samples conquest. Where are your snacks? ]

I found him. [ He says this loud enough hopefully for Elliot to hear. ] Did you finish shopping, Ryoji?

[ He peers down, not exactly disapproving, but curios why he took this form aside from the lack of icons. ]

Or should I call you Pharos.
