Thierry Morello always wore clothes that were 40 years or so out of fashion. One could easily think on first glance that he bought them all at thrift shops, but focusing on the immaculate cuts that only Paris' finest could sew, as well as a fit that could not be any more perfect, it became apparent that he was more than the odd-looking man in the calico suits.
Today, he turned up in an ensemble of a sky blue casual sports shirt that could have been lifted straight from Wimbledon '74, beige and brown checked flared trousers and black platforms. He was only monitoring the Yotsuba meetings anyway, no need to get dressed up for a lazy day at the NPA offices.
"Aiber, don't you think those clothes are a little... casual for an office environment?" Soichiro Yagami had taken note of his unusual fashion choice.
"Mr. Yagami, you know I don't believe in formality" Aiber sipped on some green tea. "And besides, look at L- I mean Ryuuzaki. He'd refuse a tuxedo at a dinner party!" Soichiro looked insulted, but instead went back to his business. He didn't like this foriegner, or his girlfriend, one bit.
"Oh, and Mr. Yagami" Aiber said. "I know you think Wedy's my girlfriend, but we're just, y'know, partners in crime. Literal crime"
Soichiro could not stand the foriegner. He wanted the Yotsuba case over so he could get him out of his sight. One time, he even slipped out a "...Kira have mercy" when walking away from him.
Aiber didn't consider himself foriegn to anyone. He was born in France, went to school in England, graduated from Harvard in the USA and was now in Japan. In this country, he thought trilingually. Mon dieu he thought. Monsieur Yagami-san doesn't suki dewa arimasen. He tried to make friends with the chief, but to little avail. He'd drive him home in his 1972 Datsun, beautifully restored, but Yagami would always make him "turn down the goddamn music", and once threatened to throw his Elton John 8-track into the Sumida River. In that case, it'd be goodbye Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
Besides, there was a reason Aiber wanted to stay here.
