Lu had had perhaps one of the happiest days of his life; Lion Brand Superwash Merino yarn, 60% off! Sure, that yarn wasn't incredibly expensive in the first place, but it was soft and made nice winter clothes. And he might have possibly just bought the fabric store out of it... expect for the mahogany colour. Lu didn't like mahogany. But he did love the peony and cayenne! With a few bags, full of his favourite brand and a few others that'd also been marked down, Lu was wandering around looking for a place to get some coffee before he returned to the base. It was cold, even with the hand knitted(LB Cashmere, of course) terracotta scarf and the black double breasted jacket(the jacket though, he didn't make) he wore. When Lu finally spotted a shop, he sighed in relief and hurried towards it, not paying quite enough attention to the people around him who were a bit short; which, to him, was most people.

Lu hardly stumbled at the contact, but nearly dropped one of his bags of yarn out of shock. He quickly grabbed onto it before it fell to the ground, sighing in relief and suddenly standing up much straighter. "O-oh! Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was- um..." Geez, she looked a little terrified. Even in a knit hat and scarf, he apparently still had a tendency to scare people. Was it because his hair was long? Did people think he was a criminal or something? ...Well, he was, technically. But that was beside the point. He was a nice enough criminal, right?
"Um, are you okay? Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you... You aren't hurt, are you?" He asked, worried about the little 'oh my god!' exclamation; hopefully he hadn't stepped on her feet. She was much smaller than him.

Oh, geez, he was scaring her, wasn't he? He was! Was he accidentally glaring again? He'd been trying to work on that! Apparently not hard enough, he internally scolded himself. "I, um- yes, a lot, actually... I-I'm not that tall though, my dad is taller, and my brother-" Well, actually, he hadn't seen his brother since he was a child, but he'd always been taller, so he probably still was. "They're both taller than me... um, I only hit my head on most doorways. My dad hits his head on all of them." He said, adding a small smile in hopes of sounding lighthearted.

Lu reached around and rubbed his neck bashfully, hunching up with a small smile on his face. "W-well, I do if I'm not paying attention. Most of the time I remember to duck." Most of the time. But when he forgot... well, it was his forehead versus the strength of the door frame. It was safe to say Lu had a hard head. "O-oh, it's fine, I wasn't pay attent thoughtion much, it's my fault too. I've got i, it's just yarn- nothing heavy. Yarn, um, I knit." Yup.
Knitting.
...The silence was a little awkward now, so he looked around for something else to say. "Er, I was going to get a coffee, if you wanted to come..? It's a little cold out here..."

Lu nodded, raising his bags a bit. "I made my hat and my scarf." When she opened the door and gave him that little quip, he laughed and headed inside, his ducking a little bit exaggerated. Waiting for her to enter, Lu looked over to the menu and decided on a mocha latte... with extra mocha. And a bit of caramel.
"I could, uh, get a drink for you, if you want? I'm pretty sure it was my fault for bumping into each other... I kind of forget to look down sometimes," he said, giving the barista his order and looking back at Citrine. Hey, Christmas wasn't that long ago, he was still feeling the whole generosity thing.

"It's alright," Lu said, nodding, "I got paid recently. Plus, all this yarn was on sale... I didn't have to spend nearly as much as I thought I would." Oh, he was still feeling simply blissful over those great yarn sales. He'd sleep well for a week! Lu took out his wallet and paid for the drinks, then moved on down the queue. "I'm a little tall, it's alright." He laughed, hoping she didn't think his joke was too stupid. "O-oh! Right, I don't know your name either. I'm Lu," he introduced himself, offering a hand to her.
When the drinks came out, Lu took his and handed the other to her. He glanced around for a seat, and settled for one towards the middle of the cafe; the window spots were nice, but draft. Here was warm.

Ah, well, it wasn't the best joke he'd ever made, but at least it didn't get a negative reaction. Sitting down, Lu took off his hat and upwrapped his scarf, folding them up on the side of the table. He took the lid off his drink and blew on it before taking a sip; it was the best thing for such a cold day.
Sitting up, happy with the questions, Lu pulled his hair over his shoulder and absentmindedly started braiding it. "Ah, yeah... I don't have anything planned right now, but I wanted to buy this while it was on sale. Maybe I could make a sweater, or a bunch of hats? People like hats, so... hats are good. So, um, I'm guessing you don't knit?"

Lu blinked, blushing slight and trying to braid his hair a little faster. "O-oh, thank you. I try to take care of it, but, uh... I guess I've just forgotten to get it cut recently. This is the longest I've had it..." Once upon a time, when he was little and naive, he'd wanted to grow his hair out so it looked more like his big sister's. Now, he wasn't sure he had it in him to get it cut short, ever. "It's kind of a hassle sometimes." He joked; he probably had the tamest hair anyone could have, as long as he brushed out tangles it was fine.
"Oh, um, are you not from here?" He asked, curious. Where he came from, he was so used to the winter he almost preferred it. Bundling up in nice warm clothes? Yes, please. He gave a quiet snort, "Oh, well... not everyone is good at those things. I'm sure you're better at something else. I, uh, I'm okay at knitting, and cooking, and things like that, but I guess I'm not a very good pokemon trainer. It's a trade off?" The Deerling he'd caught recently was looking to be one of his stronger pokemon though, along with the Absol he'd had for years, Tea. That was about it though, the rest of his pokemon... they were good for petting. And taking on walks.
