[Stephen is in his bathroom. Shirtless. And is willingly posting on the network. Yep, poor boy is cursed as well and is going to regret this come tomorrow.]

Anybody else feeling weirdly confident today? Not that I'm complaining. It feels good.

[He gives his reflection another grin before he yanks on a shirt. He's dropped the flannel today and has gone for one of the fitted t-shirts he usually wears as an undershirt. He flicks off the lights and his device.]

[ She'll let him look, standing by in case he needs an opinion. Good looking or not, she doesn't have enough of an idea about men's swimwear to pick something out herself. ]

[totallyinaband]

Do you think I could pull off red? I normally stick to more muted stuff.

[boutant]

Oh yeah, definitely.

You might look like a lifeguard, though, which isn't bad or anything, but it could confuse people.

[totallyinaband]

Good point. Avoiding red.

[boutant]

Maybe some sort of a pattern? You look good in patterns.

[totallyinaband]

I do have a hard time resisting plaid. I think I have lumberjack blood down the line somewhere.

[boutant]

Well, you are Canadian. [ Just a tease, Stephen. ] It works for you, though.

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, course it does. What do you think of these ones?

[He holds up a fairly bright green plaid set of trunks.]

[boutant]

I think that if you're buying those, I need to get sunglasses.

[totallyinaband]

They're not that bad.

[Yes they are. Stephen you are colour blind.]

[boutant]

Maybe something with more blue?

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, sure.

You getting anything?

[boutant]

Not in the mens section.

[totallyinaband]

Fair enough. These ones?

[A slightly less ridiculous pair now.]

[boutant]

Those look good. Are you going to try them on?

[totallyinaband]

You can try on bathing suits?

[boutant]

Yeah. You have to keep your underwear on, but you can.

[totallyinaband]

Seriously? Naw, I think I'm good. It's my size.

[boutant]

All right.

[ To the womens section! ]

[totallyinaband]

[Very well.]

I don't think I've actually been shopping with a girl since I used to take my sisters back to school shopping.

[boutant]

I don't go shopping, usually. Well, unless Eames drags me out -- which reminds me, he told me to get more fishnets.

[totallyinaband]

You need more than one pair?

[boutant]

Apparently. I guess they might rip.

[ There's a shrug, and then it's her turn to look through some racks. ]

[totallyinaband]

[Oh god. It's all lingerie-y over here. He crosses his arms and tries not to touch anything.]

[boutant]

[ Yes Stephen, that's what swim wear for women looks like. ]

Onepiece or twopiece?
