Her wrists were held in place, one about shoulder level and the other just above her companion's head. His teasing almost seemed to go right over her head, for she didn't seem put off at all by the comments.
"I can fix it now, and you can figure out the other stuff later. However, I don't exactly think you'll be wearing this too often. Unless you plan on visiting this world more often. Didn't think you'd need to really learn how to put these things on properly." She blinked a few times, glancing to his boots when he called attention to them, and soon enough finding her wrists freed.
At such a time, she then promptly took one end of loose cloth and tucked it in about his neck. It was her silent way of getting the last word on the subject matter.
With a smirk, she was about to smugly say something about Aque, but before she could get out the words "I don't..." Crims had brought up a certain subject again.
She sighed as the wind in her sails seemed to blow out in regards to her joke about Aque. However, that didn't mean she couldn't reach to scratch her Muncher under the chin. She eventually pulled his large head closer, almost seeming to give him a small hug before replying to the Squire.
"...you haven't figured it out yet, have you?"

He merely frowned in response, holding his hands up in defeat. If she wished to fix his clothing for him rather than explain it then so be it. "As you wish." He shrugged at her comment of visiting often. "That depends, how often would you want me to visit?" He was certain that if she asked him to visit then he would. Of course he would visit even if she didn't, but he would be more inclined to if she did.
He watched her move away and to the side of her sandmuncher. His head tilted and an eyebrow arched as he too stepped over to Aque. "Well, I have my suspicions and can make assumptions but," he paused, hand reaching to scratch the beast by the ears. He adverted her gaze like she did his instead opting to focus his attention on the spot he was scratching. "I'd like to hear you say it," he admitted.
The entire situation had given the awkward, tense vibe of meeting someone's parents for the first time which is what led the Squire to his suspicions. But Crims liked to be right and to be right meant that his suspicions needed to be correct and to have them confirmed meant Iris needed to say it out loud. "I mean, it's not like it's a big deal. I'm not sure if there's anything bigger than being the senshi of your world or not but still."
Oh Crims, you could be so awkward and clumsy with your words.

Though for a brief moment she had seemed to grow somber, by the time Crims was petting Aque (the spoiled beast), her expression seemed to have found itself in a more content place. Just the fact he had suspicions was enough to relieve some of the burden from her shoulders.
"...well... you are going to be waiting a long time for an answer then... because I won't be saying anything more about the subject!" Her words were playful and teasing, nearly matching a tone he had been taking with her a few moments ago.
Seeming okay to move on with the conversation once more, her eyes went to facing Crims again, no longer seeming shy about any issues that might have arose moments ago. "Well... I don't visit home too often myself... I honestly only come around briefly one time of year, and I don't spend much time in the Port during my stay."
She momentarily glanced up to the sky, as if thinking about something, but then returned her bright eyes to her companion. "And since we are here in the Port today, perhaps we should do what the Port is known for! Or at least live it up as much as we can!" Soon enough a toothy grin was spread before the Squire.
"I have a few things we could barter with... you up for trying your luck?"

"You're a tease," he pouted when she refused to answer him. "But as you wish, princess," he said mockingly, stepping away from Aque to give her an over-exaggerated sweeping bow. He would get her to admit it one day, but for now he was content to leave the subject behind them. Her denial, or rather refusal to say anything, was a good enough answer for the time being.
"Our meetings will be rather sporadic then," he commented thoughtfully. That didn't bother him because they both had duties they had to attend to. Sailor Iris's were likely to be more important than his own and he would respect that. "The port seems rather," he paused trying to pick the best word to describe his brief experience. "Crowded," he concluded.
He considered her offer quietly, he always liked things that dealt with chance and lucky because he often regarded himself as lucky. "I'm game."

Once Crims had proclaimed he was ready to try his luck, the girl hopped up and into her cart, making her way to the trunk. She popped it open and pulled out a couple sacks that were filled with white fluffy stuff. She closed the trunk back up tightly before hopping back out and swinging a bag towards Crims to hold onto. It smashed against him with the impact of a piece of cotton.
"Alright, let's go! Time to see what the bazaar has in store today!" With her own sack of wool slung over her shoulder, she marched ahead, leading the pair off to their next adventure.
What that adventure entailed of is a story for another time.
