[ This is the first time he's come along grocery shopping with her to this place. But...given the time he's spent here before and after moving to Kyoto, Cloud's popped in before as well! Hardly enough times to be as recognized as Ayaka, but he nods in greeting to the shopkeepers nonetheless, keeping his eyes peeled on what they may need. When she lets go of his hand, he nods. Best to split up. In case there's anything else they might need.
Crossing his arms, he keeps a cautious eye out for what they may need. Mochi was created by pounding out glutinous sticky rice for that chewy exterior... Every household has rice. So they're set to go on that front. But in a separate aisle of the little shop? Something catches his eye. A rich, blue powdered food colouring... Huh. Usually if he saw food coloring back home, it was in little liquid bottles. It was a small little container of it, however. Explicitly for food dye purposes. ]
Hm.
[ ...!! ]
Nn...
[ Luckily, Cloud wasn't in view of anyone, especially Ayaka when he feels a twinge of pain throb through his head. There's still time, but...the sun was setting soon. And he can already feel old memories calling to him in the distant back of his mind. Taking a deep breath in through his nose before sighing out his mouth, he focuses up as if nothing was amiss. ]

Heya, [ he finds Ayaka down the aisle opposite his, rounding the end of it to catch up with her, little container in hand as his expression softens some as he offers her the dye to inspect. ] This what we're looking for?
