[ So Archer is that morning bird. He can be found vacuuming the hall as early as around 7am for god's sake. So of course if he's going to be doing and hanging the laundry early in the morning too.
Caster follows him in silence and observes what he's doing. You know, taking the clean clothes from the washing machine, then to see where exactly he goes to hang it, etc, etc. He's that annoying, silent stalking presence, and he doesn't speak until all clothes are taken care of ]
[...right. Archer knows the moment he feels the stalker what is it about. So Caster checked his stash of clothes and found some are missing. Not that Archer feels guilty for getting rid of the atrocities in guise of hawaiian shirts.]
[ He did notice a lot of new, nice clothes in his wardrobe, but he assumed his favourite, colourful shirts were simply taken to laundry basket. But then he could swear laundry was done- so he waited for another time it happens - aka today - to confirm the suspicion ]
I'm missing some clothes. You don't happen to know anything about it, surely?
If you're talking about those colorful shirts that clash horribly with your hair then they're gone. [a beat.] Diarmuid suggested that we get rid of them and we did.
[Look, Archer is being perfectly reasonable. If it wasn't right after he returned from the void he might saved one - just one - knowing how much Caster loves said vile article of clothing. Although he found a different hawaiian shirt in colors that actually compliments Caster's hair.
He's not going to deny they're responsible for the loss.]
[ Okay, you know, he's hurt. So much, that his expression drops. And he kicks Archer in the shin. ]
Jerks.
[ Lancer gets a kick too, later ]
At least you had enough decency to get some alternative. [ As in alternate clothes, not alternate colorful shirts. He's going to miss them but he still has a full wardrobe ] Geez, what I have with you two...
[Sad puppy look is effective, almost making Archer feel a tinge of guilt. Almost. The kick ruins that, though.]
Otherwise you'd run around half-naked. [he counters dryly. To be completely honest he didn't mind the horrible shirts that much. Seeing other's reaction to Caster in colorful hawaiian shirt was amusing.]
Is this really what you think of me? [ Caster rolls his eyes. He's not a barbarian, he knows clothes, he likes clothes. Being dressed is a good thing. But soon his tone turn teasing ] Or do I hear a tinge of hope in that statement?
I can handle that kind of attention pretty well, don't you worry.
[ This could be funny to see happen, though he doesn't really think there would be that much attention in first place. He already can be obnoxious enough as that dude who looks as if he just walked out of medieval woods.
It's Iron Age not medieval, get your timeline straight. ]
[ He earned that reputation, but those were different times and different things were allowed when those like him walked the Earth. Still, given how that "skirt-chasing" turned out, with someone he likes very hurt, it's not a topic he wants to discuss in length ]
So what both of you went shopping, did some joint approving?
Rather each of us shopped on our own. I got most of the casual clothes, though, hunting for shirts you may like. [not as colorful as ones Caster bought himself, though.]
[Now that he's finished with the laundry Archer goes back inside.]
Yeah, I should get one finally. [ If he wants more shirts, he needs money, and prayers are not always meaning a monetary gain ] That sounds good enough.
Do they have nice uniforms? [ He's been visiting Alex a lot to keep her company so a dumb idea strikes him ]
Right, you haven't visited me to check my uniform. [Archer chuckles.] Yes, they do. It's popular in the neighborhood, especially with teenagers - they love to come to watch the waiters.
[He may not be thrilled with the flock, but it's good for the owner and the amount of money he gets for this job, so he tolerates it.]
That too. It's getting more busy, though, and they need more staff. A good thing that boss' wife has a spiritual sight so she won't forget you after first meeting. [that sure surprised Archer at first, but now he's used to it. Besides Caster can flirt with all the women giving him time to focus on his work.]
As long as you behave. She has a husband, you know. [Archer's reply is tinted with amusement. Oh, he's sure that Caster can behave perfectly, he just wants to tease him a bit.]

It's possible. Your tale paints you as certified skirt chaser, and your behaviour here only strenghtens that belief.
