Ax looked up from his efforts when the young human male, who appeared to be approximately his own age, spoke to him. He was reasonably certain he recognized the tone of voice Tobias had once called 'snide.'
"I am not familiar with this type of clothing-ing," he said, sulkily. He did not wish to request assistance. However, the armed human whose job appeared to be making sure he did not wander off had already objected to Ax's unwitting mistakes with the artificial skins. In the interest of blending in, he needed to keep from calling further attention to himself.
"I prefer a classic look." He used the phrase Rachel had, which had seemed to him to be, unlike Marco's choice of words, complimentary. "Which does not include this strap. Or buttons. Butt-ton-zuh."
The human had not yet completed the strange ritual, in that he had not replaced the garment that was to cover his chest, or the thing called a beray. This did not seem like the most prudent time to bring these omissions to his attention.
