Josh's instincts would normally be spot-on, but rather than soften Caspar's attitude, he only seems to tense more at the mention of his girlfriend. "Always." He flashes a brief smile, but it looks forced. "Let's concentrate on you first, okay? You need more help than she does."
If it helps any, the crowd around them is typical of any other street in the Shopping District. No one is giving Josh or Caspar a second look, too busy window-shopping or engaged with their electronic devices.
"There are a few small businesses on the upper floors, but almost all of these buildings are stores," Caspar replies. "I found it after asking around for a good tailor. I still haven't settled on a tailor, but the shopping here isn't terrible." He stops in front of one building in particular, a brownstone like the others with the name Papaya Commonwealth in shiny gold letters above it. The window display features three featureless male mannequins in various poses, all wearing stylish clothing of a similar caliber to Josh's present. A fourth mannequin with multiple arms and a tail is wearing similar garb, checking the time on its imaginary watch.
"Here we are." He holds the door open for Josh, almost as an after-thought.
