Thorir will wait for Killian to be gone and then give the girls a talk-to about how you don't tell adults that they are short. Especially when they are men. ...And then deal with a lot of questions about why, and from his height that guy should still be growing!

For now, he'll just return the nod, "Likewise", again, and then turn to check on the baby in the stroller.

He'll message Killian the next morning and propose Tuesday or Wednesday of the next week, telling the young man that he should arrive at eight - half an hour before the store opens - and to wear acceptable but sturdy clothes. No suit or ratty looking clothing, please. The place that he names is the information counter of the store, located near the entrance.
