Junpei was a lot more skilled in the arena of stealing than he appeared to be. Sure, he wasn't the shoplifting type, but considering how many times he'd pilfered things from his dorm mates to sell and make a little extra cash, he was far more useful than Asuka was giving him credit for. He only spoke up because he figures the girl liked to be in charge and stuff. Sadly, it was clear to him that Asuka was an amateur the way she looked over at the clerk with the merchandise in hand.

This was going to need a bit of good ol' Iori magic. Thankfully, the door opened at the moment and Asuka started waving to whomever was coming, easily drawing the clerk's attention to the door to see who else was coming in. At that moment, Junpei turned to check out the door himself, deftly swiping the barrettes in the same motion. Plaming them wasn't hard given he had big hands, and seeing Minato and Aigis coming inside, Junpei grinned and took a step toward them.

"Sup, Minato!" he called, his hand with the concealed barrettes dropping down to slip the loot into the pocket on the rear of Asuka's pants, purposefully giving her rear a bit of a squeeze to make it look like his soul reason for putting his hand down there was to cop a feel.

Coping a feel was just a perk.
