Her expression turns from skeptical to understanding, followed by a small pout as she regards Phalanx in an entirely new light. "Oh, poor thing."
"Yes, yes, but that's neither here nor there right now." Robin also looks a little pitying as he straightens up to talk, though it's entirely for show. "Toba, I have got to get this boy some pants."
"Well, I'll look and see what I have in his size..." the woman, Toba, says with an assured nod, "So long as you're paying for it."
"Oh, of course, of course." Robin waves his hand dismissively, walking back over to see what things are currently catching Phalanx' eye. The woman disappears past a flap into a "back" section of her shop, giving them a moment where no one is watching.
