[Oh wow, little Frosty the snowman here was turning into a new shade of red. Salvia forced back an amused laugh at his suddenly withdrawn reaction. She tossed the pants and other attire close to him and backed away.] "Not a problem, dude. Gimme a sec."
[She turned her back towards him, facing the wall, but that wasn't all. Ensuring to keep the trust of not peeking at him (she wasn't that kind of person) she pulled off her jacket and wrapped it around her head, sleeves and everything.] "There we go," [she spoke through muffled, somewhat smelly cloth.] "Have at it, kiddo. Lemme know if y'got a problem."

Salvia seemed to take more than necessary precautions. It made Owen feel a lot better. He took a deep breath and stood up from the couch, dropping his straitjacket to the tiles in a jumble of clinks and cloth shuffles. He knew she couldn't see a thing but it still felt so strange. With some eager haste to get clothed again, he scurried up the ladder to his top bunk, fetched a pair of boxers and came straight back down to finish dressing himself.
As he tried to put on the pants, he saw the holes in them. He knew this was a fashion statement from a while back but still. It was odd. He hummed lightly to himself and finished up. The pants were a little too big but not too hard to fix with a belt. He tossed on the jacket, sat on the couch again and called for Salvia to look now.

[Salvia waited patiently for Owen if he needed any help. She hummed some Daft Punk song in her head in the meantime. When he called out to her, she turned around, pulling the jacket off her head.]
[And she whistled.] "Damn, we'll make a greaser outta you yet," [she spoke cheekily as she examined his new appearance.] "You're a bit on the skinny side though, we'll probably need to get you a sandwich or two." [She pointed at his waistline, noticing the visible amount of ease from the pants, though she refrained from the temptation to poke him.]

"Greaser?" he tilted his head and looked curiously at her. He wasn't too familiar with that term. He took it to mean he looked good wearing this... whatever this pair of holey pants were anyway. "Mhmm," he nodded. "I am skinny." he shrugged. "I was always skinny... You mustn't be skinny, these are yours, isn't it?" he tried to deduce. Not like he could really tell who was the more sticklike of the two anyway.

"Greaser is like, uhhhhhh, it was like a phase in the 1950s. That 'cool guy' phase. You know Elvis Presley, right? Yeah, like that, but with more leather jackets and jeans." [Weakly hiding her mouth with a hand, she laughed at something.] "On second thought, you'd look terrible with wax in your hair, not gonna lie. Keep that scruffy." [She reached over to ruffle his hair.] "There ya go. Rugged does the trick."
"Yeah, they were. But feel free to take them, they look good on ya, champ." [Salvia gently nudged him on the arm.]

Elvis sounded somewhat foreign yet familiar. He did vaguely remember a celebrity by that name. It had been a long time now. He was lost in his thoughts, so much so that he seemed to crumple when Salvia went for his hair. He wasn't expecting that.
"Thank you for letting me take them Salvia--" he said, already starting to take off the jacket and rummage through the pile some more. There were so many options here, he felt a little lost.

[Salvia smiled. She's still searching for his name, but he was an alright kid. A weird and slightly creepy kid, but a nice one regardless.] "Here, try some of the socks. I think they're from the '90s or something, sooooooo. Colors galore. Also those funky little triangle patterns. Uh, some of them might be missing their soulmates, hope that's cool with you? They'll keep your toes warm at least. Just, um. Check for holes or something."

It didn't take much more rummaging through the piles to find socks. They were definitely colourful and completely out of fashion now, but Owen didn't really know or care. "I can sleep with them..." He thought, picking up one odd pair. "No one can see them when I'm sleeping... No one can see them under my pants..." Despite being told that most of them wouldn't match, he still tried to find a pair out of the ones he was holding. No luck, likely, as he continued to look through the stack.

[Haha yup. What a weird kid. Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she looked at the received message. She swore low in Spanish as she texted a reply to her co-worker.] "Crap, sorry, kid. Looks like the radio guys caught me and they want me back, pronto." [She groaned a little as she tucked her phone back, thinking of the paperwork she'd been avoiding.]
"Tell ya what. Take your time picking out anything you want. Your roomies can have some too if they like. You can drop off the rest at the donation center or whatever. So it's all yours, buddy," [she smiled.]

Salvia had to be called away now, but that was ok. Owen looked at her with the air of a smile, but lacking one. "Thank you Salvia I will return it later." He said without stopping or pausing, a little unnaturally. The pile was huge. Surely some of his team would want something here...
"I will see you later~" he said then. And if you blinked, you would have missed his split second grin.

[Salvia probably did blink, but she waved to him as she made her way to the door, visibly pleased at her good deed of the day.] "Catch ya later kid. I'm expecting an Extreme Makeover: You Edition real soon, 'kay?" [Double guns at him before she slipped out.]
