Now let's see how long I can stay . . .
this means I have to wear pants probably
...................
Tell me when you have them on again
dsvfs- ah! haha, no, I'm wearing clothes!
but nobody likes tunics anymore
no accounting for taste I guess
I suppose it would...depend on where you are.
are there men who don't wear pants at YOUR house?
...Well, we wear kimono sometimes still, yes....
well, I guess tunics are fine.
they look cute, specially if you have the upper body for it.
...

I-I'm not at home right now....
I can wait! You've got a garden, right?
........................................
I don't know when I will return, however....
......Why don't...you go see China-san in the interim...
You're friends with Feli, right?

As I remember, you stayed there often when I was a child.
Think of it as a favor for him!
...........................................
Besides, you never know when you need a strong guy around the house!
.....

I'm sure China-san would like to see you first, however.
See, I could go see Sinae . . .
I would be unable to accommodate you adequately as a guest as I am not currently there.
You've got to understand!
It would be a shame upon me should I allow a guest to go ungreeted, or without a proper welcome.
.......And China-san would nag.
.....I don't think he would mind one way or another, Rome-san.
...Although his people...might.
....

Are pants that difficult to manage...?
They just don't feel right!
The legiones need some ROOM, you know?
...............................

I'm not sure I do.

yes they are.

I don't like wearing pants, they're constricting.. Do you feel the same way Rome?!
Ah.... I forgot to mention, kimono are still considered rare these days. It is not considered normal outdoor wear, Rome-san.
However, for summer festivals or for learning the martial arts...they are allowed.
That's right. but, aren't those longer?
...Yes, the go to just above the floor.
Well, At least they're not that tight..
just around the waist, right?
well, they are meant to have a clean line and stay tight and closed to the body...
In this colder season, it is traditional to wear two or three layers - the inner kimono, the outer and a haori.
I hear they are very expensive. is that true?
Yes, especially if made custom.

if only I had a budget for such luxuries.
ROOOOOOME
you need a place to hide?

I got a place you can hide at-- hell, you'd be surprised at all the secret places I have
Really?
haha, it's not too hard to hide
I just can't make too much noise
So no power tools? not in public at least.
Nono, I promise you these places, totally off the grid
You've got lots of those?
... No comment
so you mean . . . no cities?
I have lots of cities, skyscrapers, subways, highways, you name it
and yet, he can still hide?
hehehe I'm not telling anyone where I'd hide him, then everyone would know

Now I'm curious.
