Mono’s expression did lighten at that. Perhaps it was a bit obvious, but he didn’t like the idea of being stuck in a whole season of weather like the Pale’ City’s. “I guess that’s okay then, as long as there’s still some good weather to have fun in.” He moved back over to the tree to look up curiously at the leves, squinting a bit as he tried to see if there were other yellow and green leaves.

Ignis’ caution over making it sound like he was judging the kid about his clothing was smart, Mono already felt a bit weird based on some things that were common in his world… Turning back to the man he nodded. “Yeah, that’s all I had when I came here. I had a few other hats! But I think they fell outa my pockets when I was running away from someone before I got here.”

Though, the boy smiled excitedly as he thought of something he could be rather proud to tell Ignis about. “But I got a job!! I’m gonna run messages for people, and my new boss says he’s gonna get me shoes for it.” Mono had never been able to get shoes before, even scrounging around empty apartments in the pale city had never yielded any pairs that fit properly.

But the boy definitely could use some clothes that didn’t look like they were covered in dirt or who knew what else. His trench coat had seen better days, even if he was very attached to it.
