"Yeah, I hate shoes too. They gave me strap-ones 'cause I didn't know how to tie them up, but I learnt how."
"You see, it's kind of like this...You make a knot, which you know how to do, and then you put your finger there, and then you loop it, then you turn it around the loop, then you pull like that."
Gin's emerald green eyes were wide as he watched the woman before him show him how to tie his shoes. She was a bit too close for his personal tastes, but he really didn't seem to mind it, at least for the moment. He was too shocked that someone was showing him how to do something without him having to ask, or painstakingly go through yet another pair of shoes. But what was more, you didn't always have to tie your shoes? They had ones with straps?!
Suddenly Gin was practically bouncing in place, a bit of a grin across his face as he looks at the tied shoe. "That was amazing!" He manages out with a bit of a shaky voice, lifting a hand to pull his scarf from his head so it rests fully around his neck. "Do you think you could show me once more with my other shoe? Do they really have ones with straps?" Already he was spitting out questions, and even reaching over to pull off his other boot to hand it to her. While he couldn't quite place it, with having showed him how to tie his shoes, Ntombi had reminded him of a few of the people he had met shortly after waking up from his escape.
"Should we go after Amaya?" He promptly blurts out, now holding his other shoe out to her. "We do have to work tonight but she sort of just took off."
