The air around him was different from what Kenshin was used to. It was lighter for a start, not as wet, and with it, it carried the scent of... green. He couldn't make much sense of that, but it was all his mind could come up with. The air hissed gently as the breeze winded through the trees, shaking their branches and loosing leaves.

His gaze wandered, taking it all in. It wasn't so unusual -he could remember trees and grass like what he was looking at from before he had trapped in the cave, but that hadn't actually existed, had it?- though it was different to see so much green without brown as another predominant colour.

Prince stopped flailing gleefully at the air and turned to stare at him, eyes narrowed thoughtfully and fingers stroking his chin as he started towards him.

"Right, you stand out too much like this," he murmured when he was standing just a foot away.

He looked back blankly. He did? Was that why Prince was wearing a mask? "Really? Can't you just say I'm your pet?" It was the obvious solution, one that didn't need thinking about.

"I can't do that," Prince dismissed instantly with a shake of his head. "You're my friend." He started to rummage around in his pouch, fingers first disappearing, and then his entire fist.

'Friend...' The elf had said that straight away, without thought. In the short time that he'd known him, that seemed to be the norm for Prince, and he never reacted in ways that Kenshin expected him to. But that made things interesting.

"Just wear my beginner's clothes! I still have them. ...Ha!" The scrunched up look on Prince's face suddenly vanished, and he pulled his hand out his pouch. What was clenched in his hand was a light coloured tunic, and there was just a continuing flow of fabric as Prince kept pulling and pulling until leggings also appeared and freed themselves completely from the tiny bag. Prince had to dive to catch the last couple of pieces that popped out along with them. ...How spacious was it in there?

Prince scrutinised the clothes in his hand and then frowned, looking back at the pouch. "Here, hold these," he said distractedly, pushing the bundle into his arms and then started digging again, his whole arm disappearing this time. Kenshin stared at the sight. Maybe it was something only a player could do.

It was only a few seconds waiting this time before Prince brightened again and brought out a pair of boots. What else did he keep in there?

The boots where placed on top of the rest of the outfit. Altogether, it didn't look that hard to put on, and Kenshin started to strip out of his clothes. He noticed Prince twitched, his eyes widening, but Kenshin didn't remark on it. It was only after he'd taken off his hakama that Prince turned around, though that didn't stop him from taking peeks every couple of seconds.

On him, the new clothes felt rougher than his usual attire, his arms feeling bare -even with the wrist guards- and his legs a little more constricted. His feet also felt heavier, but it wouldn't affect him too much in a fight, and that was what mattered to him.
