"Though that isn't home. Not anymore."

"Right, okay. It's pretty simple, but we'll start with the stove/oven. It's probably different from what you'e used to, anyway."
Most of it is, so she walks him through the basics of the appliances and how to use them. "Washing machine and all are downstairs in the basement, and now that I have your sizes, we can order you some clothes."

Randel nods to everything she says, taking in the information before they get to the part about the clothes. He looks down at himself and sighs a little.
"It's always hard to find things. I've never really had much more than one or two outfits since I grew."

"I think you'll be surprised." She disappears for a moment before coming back with a laptop to set it on the counter and then pulls up a search on big and tall stores.

Blue is a very small child, and is used to looking up at people, but the man in front of her was enormous, even bigger than Jesse Dittley. She felt a small pain at his loss at the sight of Randal, but shook it off to go introduce herself.
"Hello, I'm Blue Sargent."

It's not rare for him to have to deal with kids; he'd spent most of his childhood looking after younger siblings, the one thing that he seemed to be any good at even in District Zero. When she walks over, he hunches down not to tower over her and offers his hand.

"Nice to meet you, Randall."
She said as she shook his huge hand.
"Don't think I've seen you around before."

"Don't think I've seen you around before."
Richard smiled and lead him silently away for a few minutes.
"Think I can find you a better spot for the night. I know a few."

[ He has never owned a suit so fine, and he keeps it folded in the box wherever he goes. He wouldn't want to muck it up. A message goes up, since he doesn't know who sent the note: ]
Whoever gave me the suit, thank you very much. It's very nice. I've never had such a nice suit. I like the color.

I was hoping I could have a moment of your time.

[ ...he's not exactly sure how to explain that 'Oland' is a fake name. It'd come out automatically, and since then, he's been awkwardly trying to figure out how to, well... tell him.
Another day, it seems. ]
As you say, sir.
And yes, sir, I do.
I-is that a problem, sir?

No. But I'd like to hear your thoughts on the district. An insider's perspective, if you will.
How are the people? Peaceful?

I’ve only just started. But I’ve been asked to patrol the red light district. I thought you might provide me with a first impression.
I'd appreciate that.
