[aw fuck it he can buy thread and needles later, the supplies are gonna cost a fortune in the first place... he does manage to grab some knitting needles after debating with himself what ones to get and wobbles his way over to the counter, one nice step at a time.
He cannot hide his sigh of relief at the heavy thud the everything makes on the counter though. My god. That is heavy. Usually they just order bolts as needed and someone picks them up if Mika isn't available to help, but this is just... making a stock in the first place. It'd be fine if it wasn't so much in one go.]
Dooone~. Can't say I'm lookin' forward to the bill, but at least I can make money with this too~. Probably.
that's fine that's fine. there's still having to lug it all back to the apartment, though... ]
You're planning on selling the things you make?
[ he stands in line behind mika, idly reaching out to poke a dancing plastic flower (like one of those solar-powered ones people put on their dashboards?) that's sitting in a row of others along the counter. it wobbles at him, like it's waving. ]
[ meanwhile, cashier and sales associate shares a Look between themselves, but nothing more. when nisaka is all finished up and his stuff paid for, he takes up his little bag of things and turns to mika, brows raised. ]
Nn... Well, I forgot somethin' important, but besides that, I guess so... Y'mind helpin' me carry some of this? I'll take the bolts if ya handle the rest of it~.
[the buttons, stuffing, yarn. knitting needles. Apparently Mika's over Nisaka's earlier smugness about help from earlier.]
[ ... mika how could you. nisaka is just staring at the departing boy's back like he'd just been betrayed at the highest level.
there is a throat cleared behind him, and he jumps a little, slowly turning to the friendly smiles of the sales people. he sighs inwardly, resisting the urge to flinch back as they lean in to talk to him.
[Oh, those are cute ribbons..! Uwah, bows!!! What pretty patterns too... and he'll get some more yarn too, ones he can reach now~.
Mika'll return in a few minutes that feels like hours, surely, with a small armfull of stuff. The pin cushion deserves special mention because it's a black and pink skull. Take his money!!! This is it!!]
I promise, I'm done now~. Thanks a lot for waitin' for me, Nisa-kun~.
[ nisaka, as per his ways, doesn't respond save for a faint tilt of his head as mika approaches. the sales people smile sunnily at mika as one starts ringing him up, and maybe if mika is paying close enough attention he'll find that his expenses don't actually rack up that high this time... weird...
ANYWAY, when that's all done, nisaka takes a couple of bags in his arms
but saves the bolts of fabric for the other boy, heh. ]
[... Oh, that's cheaper than it should be..? Mika squirms a little, wanting to point out the mistake and also wanting to save money, but Nisaka's looking ready to go and Mika's hungry, too... so he pays what he pays and takes his things without complaint, thanking the cashier kindly and leading out.
The moment they're outside though he's speaking up!!!]
That stuff was definitely cheaper than it shoulda been! And I don't think they'd make a mistake like that, so-- I mean, I ain't complainin' or anythin', but...
[Nisaka!! Was the only one up there!!! So it's his fault..?]

He still needs to take it back to the apartment. God, watching this cashier ring up everything is making him sink into his arms.]
... Mm, maybe. I'm not that good at handicrafts, but I can probably make somethin' worth selling. To someone.
[fuck that is Expensive. take his card, just... take it, you money grubbing fiend.]
Even if it ain't that much, it's somethin'..~ Probably.

Most people really appreciate handmade stuff. I wouldn't count it out.

[This cashier is kinda amused. Coasters. Who'd buy handmade--]
That's a great idea! I've never made one before, but they can't be that hard~. It's kind like Oshi-san's lace knitting!
[oh my god.]
Thanks, Nisa-kun~. I'll give you my practice ones.

Maybe you can make sets. Like themes.

Yer a good thinker~. I'm comin' to you when I need to think of things, okay~? I'm lucky to know someone that's better at that than I am!

What was it? We're already here.
[ might as well get it while he can, right? especially if it's important. ]
