[He holds the grocery bag a little closer to his chest as he starts stepping over tree roots and ducking under branches. As he catches his foot on a rock and stumbles forward a bit (but ultimately catching himself, thank god) he tells himself that Natsumi is only having an easier time because her legs are slightly longer than his, which is totally unfair. It's definitely not because she's more experienced or anything.]
And look, now you're making me scuff up my shoes. You could have at least told me to dress for this...
[And he doesn't wanna hear any bullshit about how that would have "ruined the surprise," even if he's pretty clearly bitching just for the sake of it at this point.]
You know Mom and Dad are gonna throw a fit when they see that I ruined my nice shoes.
[You know. One of the ten or so pairs of nice shoes that sit in his closet at their house. Because their family is loaded, over-prepared, and needs the future leader of their clan to look his very best.]
