Hoping that she wont notice him isn't one of Karkat's better strategies with the way he's dressed right now, and Nessa pretty much spots him straight away. She hesitates in the doorway of the store, trying to look at what was on the hangers than over to the hooded figure before decided to screw it and walk in. She stays on the opposite side of the store to Karkat, partly because being seen together could jeopardise her secret identity, but mostly because avoiding him had ben the norm as of late. And it wasn't like he looked particularly thrilled to see her.

With a short sigh, she starts to dig around in a bin filled with assorted shirts, not exactly paying attention to what she's looking for as she keeps casting glances over to the hooded figure.

Jean-Michel has an afternoon off from skating practice, and with his police scanner app relatively quiet (at least, as far as superhero stuff), he finds himself with actual free time, for once. He's been wandering downtown without a whole lot of intention--he still doesn't particularly know his way around LA--and chose to go into the thrift shop more or less on a whim.

He doesn't pay much attention to the hooded guy in the corner, he's seen his fair share of weirdos, but when he goes over to the t-shirt bin he nods at the girl who had the same idea.

"Nice sweater. Colourful".

If she looks up, she'll probably be able to tell his admiration is genuine. Apart from the respect in his voice, he is wearing a t-shirt in a really vivid peacock blue, with an abstract green print around the hem and sleeves.

When Nessa doesn't come over and bother him, he's actually kind of surprised. His ears twitch, and he takes a less cursory look over to where she's looking at shirts. Does she really still feel bad about dragging him out to the sinkhole–? Well, maybe she should, he thinks huffily.

He's still watching her when she glances in his direction, and he frowns and looks away. He's sort of grateful for the other guy interrupting, or they'd probably keep awkwardly staring at each other across the store indefinitely... but he can't resist an eye roll and a snort at his enthusiasm for brightly coloured garments. Humans, man.

She's really trying not to pay too much attention to Karkat, focusing on the colourful t-shirts. She's so far got a little collection to try on in her hands, one sports jersey sporting a tiger roaring on the front, and the other a sweater with a majestic unicorn print on the front that she intends on giving to Flourish.

She jumps a little when the voice comes from the man next to her too engrossed in her digging around in the bin to notice him and looks up, blinking. She looks down at her own shirt, holding it out and smiles.

"Thanks! Yours is pretty awesome too," she says, admiring the colours with wide eyes. "Where'd you get it?"
