...he's glad. To have the friends he does. And he's glad to give her time to think, before she goes on!]
Even if you can't think of any qualities yet, that you know are you no matter what....
....there's always what you love, to show you where your heart is. Our connections with other people, and things in the world around us, are an important part of who we are...
...and, they can show us who we are, too. No one starts out liking themselves...but, when we have other people who like us, they can show us our own good parts. And, we have the chance to act in a way we feel proud of, when there's people in our lives to act for.
Your friends, and how you treat them...that might be a good place to start looking for Chiaki Nanami.

[ She idly twirls a lock of his hair between her fingers, and then twirls it again between the fingers of a different hand. Idly twirling it into a small knot or curl. Hopefully Atem owns a good comb. ]
I have a lot of them... sometimes I feel like I'm a little different with each of them, though... it's strange...
[ She's a shapeshifter. She's learning this. (Isn't everyone?) But she frowns a little. ]
If there's anything that's the same about all of them... it's how much I love them with my whole heart. [ She literally can't think of an exception to that. ]

[He asks, because he's familiar with that, too. He acts differently around Trish than he did around Amanda.]
It's possible to show different sides of yourself to different people. But as long as the way you act still feels like you, and not like you're pretending...then, it just means that you're bigger than you thought!
no subject
[ A pause. The little itch at the back of her mind doesn't bother her. Huh. ] Yeah, I guess that's true.
I'm not trying to ... um, to not be myself around people, though. Or to be fake. I just... want to be the best me for them... that I can be, I think.

[Here's that mall. In the doors they go.]
Now! What kinds of clothes were you looking for?
no subject
[ She peeks down over his hair to grin at him. ] You're the one who needs a whole new outfit, Atem-kun!! What would you like to wear on your new body?
no subject
[He has to think about that.]
...I don't know. I just know that this...
[He gestures to the chunky sweater with holes in the shoulders for spikes that aren't there, and rolled up khakis which aren't hanging right on his waist at all.]
...isn't right!
[His plan is to walk around until he sees something he likes. So, he starts to stride down a tiled aisle, glancing left and right, his hoofs making a click click click on the floor. Purses...swimwear...artisanal soaps...local vegetables?? No...
...
He pauses in front of a formalwear store, with suits and long silk gowns with puffy 80s bows and shoulder pads, then shakes his head. Those don't seem right, either.]
Something cooler than that.

But they're moving away from the store pretty quickly, and Nanami's scanning the aisles. She flies off his head and starts flitting around, checking sign after sign for something interesting.
Eventually she zips back to Atem's shoulder, hovering just above it. ] There's some women's clothes stores if you make a right up here, and some people our age hanging around near one of them... maybe something like that?
no subject
[He heads in that direction, stepping somewhat more purposefully.]
Thank you, for scouting!

[ She flies at his side as they approach the story. This one in question seems to have a lot of darker, gothier clothes - and the teens near the entrance glance around to look at the monsters as they approach, all black clothing and heavy eyeshadow, and frown at them suspiciously.
Nanami would feel very much more out of place if she was full-size. Being tiny feels more comfortable for now. Atem can take over the social duties here; or ignore them and go right into the store. ]
