When the two of them started to gang up on Cody about how they may make a florist out of him, and that he could be mistaken for working here, he couldn't help but be taken aback and stunned for a moment. "I, what? I would be terrible at this kind of work, I don't... I didn't even pick it because of the proper reasoning!" he would grit his teeth and look away for a moment feeling a rush of embarrassment at this idea. It was a shame that these flowers were also meant for someone cheerful, it really was a perfect pick for this metalman and the fact they actually looked nice alongside the other flowers hindered him even more at arguing the point.
Everything from then on continued relatively normally, with Cody being thanked by the metalman causing him to rub the back of his head. Did he actually just help someone? This was ridiculous! Where would he even find a use for a singing metalman? Maybe if he needed a distraction someday he could use him, but that would blow his cover and the metalman could tell others all about him. It was a null deal, but maybe something could be worked out. "Uh... no problem, good luck with your karaoke thing." he would try his best to give... some good encouragement with how standoffish he had been towards the metalman so far. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it himself.
Though what he had to say next caused Cody to cock an eyebrow. If the florist needed to get rid of someone, she could hit him up? Just what kind of singer would offer that? He couldn't help but feel a bit at odds there, he had to know more. But maybe it could be saved for some other time, considering the card he was given. He just had to sit on it for now and find out more later.

Kado chuckled at the bandaged man's reaction to the praise both herself and the metallic gentleman were offering him. "Come now my dear. Admittedly not everyone knows the meaning behind every flower and plant, but you seem to have an unconscious eye for it at the least." she said approvingly. "If your next employer doesn't work out for you, you'd be more than welcome to submit a resume here my dear." the red-head suggested quite sincerely.
The metallic man for his part offered a business card along with the promise of purchasing a few more flowers. Whether they were for his ensemble or not, she didn't really care at the moment... She'd done her part and lured him into her "trap" and would now reap the rewards. Such was the way with flora and plant life~. His card described him as a bouncer as well as a records manager. An interesting combination of jobs... But she wasn't one to pry.
"I'll keep that in mind Mr Ito." Kado said with a nod of her head, reading his name from the card. She began to make her way back to the counter, collecting a couple more of the previously selected flowers and began to tally up his purchase total. The red-head gave the maths a quick double check before nodding at the final sum. "That will be 5000 yen please Mr Ito. Will you be paying with cash or card?" she inquired.

[attr="class","thishover"] [attr="class","thesongwiththerlygudbit"]I’m singing with a smile~ ...is it true or bluffing?
[attr="class","quickswrap"] [attr="class","quicks"]♥ [attr="class","quicks"]shutdown [attr="class","quicks"] ♠
All those hip, cool kids with their waifus and husbandos had a tendency to call the traits the bandaged up fellow displayed a total tsundere or something like that! Some of the places he worked at, folks would either bring their kids to work or there were kids around and about playing some dating simulator on their phone, freaking out about how tsuntsun their digital love interest was. Personally, the big ol' metallic guy over here didn't quite get the appeal, but he couldn't help but be reminded of those bundles of times after one of them were cool enough to explain their deres to him. A catty smile crept across his lips at the guy's reaction when tying those memories over that wrapped gift of a person over there. That grin of his grew when the florist couldn't help but chime in and couldn't help but let out a little chuckle.
"Ey, lookit you opening more doors for yourself! Got a job lined up and an option here waitin' for ya!" Tilting his chin up and finishing those delightful words with a wink, continuing on with a playful air about his tone, "I'll be doin' my best! Drop me a line n' maybe if you have the time, I can let'cha know when it's show time! I'll even treat ya to a drink for the support!" Turning his attention right on back to the florist, he was glad that she'd at least keep his card handy after taking the time to read it!
Snappin' his fingers and finishing it in a finger gun, "Eyyy! Good, good! I've considered becoming a magician since I've had some good disappearing acts in my time, hahaaaaa~!" These two were super cool in his book, hopefully they'd get a kick out of his dark humor! The way he said it definitely didn't sound like making folks disappear as corpses long lost to the unknown, but eh, hopefully they'd be amused. If not, ooooh well! "Ah! Right, let's go with cash~!"
Not leaving too much of a trail was crucial, especially if he was gonna break the law's spine a wee bit as a favor to someone in the future! Always a few steps ahead, that was his motto and everything would have more opportunities to pan out well enough. Rifling through his pocket once more, he hummed under his breath to count out the yen before handing it over to the awesome florist. "Here ya go~!" Then his thoughts circled back to the offer of drinks, hmmmm!
Even though he couldn't in good conscience throw a lil extra money at them, he could get the pair something to drink in the here and now, couldn't he? "Before I head out to practice for my lil' competition, we should have a bite to eat together or somethin' for good luck! My treat! Whaddaya two say?" Glancing between them, he figured it was worth asking. Not like he'd throw a fit if they said they couldn't or had other things to do, possibly even later on when the shop would be closing. Important thing to him was making that lil offer before parting ways!

More awkward feelings kept filling Cody as he was being praised and practically offered the opportunity to get a job even though he had only helped because he was dragged in as a third party. But, at the same time, something could be said about this being quite a nice deal in the end. Day jobs were always a nice cover for someone like himself, though he already had something lined up with someone else. That didn't mean he couldn't use this as a backup should it fall out though. "I... guess if things don't go well I'll come back. If they don't take the flowers I bought maybe I'll even have to use them to win you over to hire me." he'd chuckle a bit, looking at the flowers he had just purchased. Of course, it was all in jest, these weren't even actually for a job interview. Still, the idea of using the woman's own flowers as an in to get a job was funny in his own head.
He took quick notice of how the musical metalman was paying in cash just like Cody. It wasn't completely out of style of course but to him, he always saw it as some sort of sign. Cards were bad business in his eyes as a criminal, so circumventing them with cash was always the go-to unless the card was needed for a public cover. He'd probably use a card for whatever business he was doing in his day job or using the money from it, but he wasn't that kind of working man just yet!
Then, the offer of drinks came up which caused Cody to rub the back of his head. That wasn't exactly his thing, but he was trying a lot of new stuff since he arrived in Japan, perhaps it couldn't hurt? "Maybe not right now for me, but I'd be up to go out later for a drink or something." that was about all Cody wanted to respond with. He wasn't actually busy right now, but the idea of going out unplanned just felt wrong to him. He needed something planned before he was good with heading out for drinks. He didn't care when though, so he'd have to see on that. "What time is good for you?" he'd mutter out a bit before pulling out his device. It was easy to keep track of dates and times in there, so making an appointment would probably work well.

This metallic man was probably trying to be subtle, but dear kami was he failing. Or at least in her view he was failing, the rest of the customers in the shop hadn't probably caught on just yet the hidden meanings behind his words... Kado just rolled her eyes in a good naturedly fashion though at his magicians quip, collected the cash as he counted it out and double checked the amount before putting it into the cash register.
Then came the offer of a round of drinks. The red-head shook her head. "I'm afraid you boys will have to go on without me for that I'm afraid. Even after the shop is closed I've got to make sure all of these," Kado said as she gestured to all the plants and flowers in the store, "have their watering, check their soil content etcetera etcetera etcetera, especially with the more exotic plants as well as the off-season ones." she explained.
"It's a bit of a full time job running a florists. Maybe next time though." Kado suggested with a smirk to the metallic gentleman. The fact that she also much preferred to remain clear-headed at all times was a more deciding factor for her. The metallic man seemed the kind of guy to not want to stop at just one round of drinks, and she pitied the bandaged man for what he was quite possibly signing himself up for with this arrangement.
A gentle cough came off from the side, Kado's eyes glancing over towards the old ladies who were looking at a particular batch of plants. "If you'll excuse me gentlemen. It has been a pleasure meeting you both." she said with a nod of her head before making her way over to the two dearies. "Mrs Okinawa, Mrs Shimazu, how can I help you two today?" the red-head asked, preparing herself for the questions and chatter to come that she was very used to with these two.

Honestly? He thought this bandaged guy was freaking hilarious since he found himself sincerely laughing at the lil quip, dare he say that it was actually kind of cute? Oh yeah, he was totally gonna try to at the very least secure a hang out with him! Fun people make amusing jokes, that's a fact! Tucking his wallet away after the money was all accounted for, since he wasn't the sort to shortchange someone unless they really pissed him off or something. "Ehhh maybe I could help ya with the flower stuff? I've never been a-"
His face went from hey, I'm happy to help ya! to wtf when did I step in a clinic? real quick as he turned to look over at the ladies behind him...
Oh.
Hm.
Yup.
That was a line, for sure, if he'd ever seen one! Making an effort to swoop an arm around his new bandaged buddy's shoulder to guide him away from the reasonably grumpy ladies. Grinning and waving, "Eyyy! Thanks again n' sorry 'bout that laaaaadies~!" He sounded super enthusiastic and totally sincere while whisking away his flowers, "Yiiiikes, tough crowd, eh?" Muttering that with a cheeky grin, he couldn't help but let out a soft lil scoff snort at how he totally got carried away just then!
"Oh right! How about tomorrow evenin' or somethin' like that? Ya got my number, so hit me up if anything changes, yeah? We can meet 'round this shop then find somewhere nice to hang out, sound good?" Finishing those words with a bright smile, he was absolutely looking forward to seeing this guy again! Maybe he could make a new karaoke or drinking buddy out of him? Who knew!
He'd have to touch base with the talented florist another time, but he'd come on by here again at some point and double check if she didn't contact him. Well probably, unless he forgot, of course!
