"Oh, darn... I was hoping that you might have arrived with some friends of mine." He looks somewhat down for a moment, before brightening up, glancing back over at the skeleton.
"Well... Worst case, I've got a new friend in the making, right?" He grinned, hiding nervousness in that smile. It's certainly not the worst thing to find. Maybe the day's looking up after all?
"Oh, but you designed that yourself? Did you do the sewing, too? That's so cool!" He takes in the skeleton's look anew. He'd previously thought it must have been some premade costume, modified maybe a little, but looking, he could see the personal touches. "I do a lot of sewing too, just didn't have anything formal prepared for here... and I feel bad modifying loaners like these."
