WHO: Lucy/Kaede and Godzilla

Godzilla likes food.
Godzilla is also very much needing Lucy's help to dress this new body, considering the loser is wearing his biking leathers despite the fact they took the train today. He's hopeless.
And observant. LILITH has told the Outsiders to be on the lookout for strange behavior and stranger advertising and Godzilla has taken notice of something. An inordinate amount of people, fledglings to those of middling age, have all been going to one shop in particular. A clothing store with bad lights, vexingly loud music, and merchandize that seems both of subpar quality and... dubious legality. Yet the people continue to go in and come out with bags of shopping, going on about how lucky they were to find that shirt with their favorite character on it, even though said character is missing an eye and their nose is entirely off center.
Strange. Godzilla chews on the end of a straw thoughtfully, a blue frozen concoction of a treat held fast in one hand. It is the largest size reasonably on offer. Because of course it is ]
Kaede-hime, an inquiry. [ He gives his shopping companion a side long glance, nodding towards the store. ] Does the volume of patronage given to this "Heated Subject" appear unusual to yourself? Or have I simply conveyed myself to the storage of the edible tree seedlings?
[ He's... asking if he's going nuts...? ]

Thinking about it mercifully has her attention away from the damned trading cards, and just in time too! The sight of Godzilla staring intently at that godawful shirt is sobering enough to make her question spending any money in this place. Ever.
And yet, not as sobering as him suddenly right there by her ear. A shiver pulses down her back as she stares up at him, blushing despite the cool temperature of the store. ]
How are we supposed to do that? You're not exactly short enough to avoid the cameras...

Indeed. Yet when have I been of known disposition to make avoidance of things? Confidence, Little Titan, one that projects it is oft left unchallenged by humans.
[ His hand rests on her shoulder, gives her a reassuring squeeze, and then he's off. Literally just... walks right into the back like he owns the place. Infuriatingly enough he's right too, walking on as if it's no big deal even the 7ft pink haired guy doesn't attract much attention. Clearly he's allowed to go back there!
The question is, does she dare follow Goji into... The Back Rooms? ]

Lead the way then. Maybe they'll be so focused on you that they ignore me.
