There's so much to process in that initial response alone that Tech is left puzzling over it well into Rokuro's shoe commentary. At that point he decides it's probably not worth the trouble, although he does make a mental note to at least get some clarification on what he's assuming to be a term from Rokuro's world.

"The shoes are largely impractical, I think," he does say, brow arching as Rokuro claims them to be comfortable. But so long as Rokuro can walk, Tech says nothing more as they start towards the conferecnce room that's been designated as the party zone.

"There was no specific dress code given," he says, shrugging, not that he would know what to wear if one were expected to be fancy. "We'll just have to see what's on the menu. Usually a beer or an ale will do for me."
