Dex jerked around violently as Saul grasped his arm, but immediately calmed down when he saw the hair-strewn face. His scowl turned into a grin, and he could see that Saul was a bit uncomfortable in this particular setting. Dex, of course, had shoplifted from such stores many times as a youth, so had no reservations.
"Heyyy, Saul. Where'd you go off to? Well, whatever, man. Let's go check out some shift over there. Think I saw a grey and white vest-suit you might like. Nothin' too fancy."
Dex glanced down at his own overdone outfit, which now included violet gloves to go with his top-hat and cane. He smiled and felt a little excited... these fancy clothes were just a disguise for him. A costume letting him "fit in" with the despicable upper-class. He imagined their reaction if they only knew the truth, and the fun he could have "infiltrating" an expensive restaurant.
Looking at Saul's hair and current outfit, Dex knew that the rugged spacer was in the same situation as himself. As they strolled over to a different section, he made a few more suggestions.
"Hey, uh... you consider doing something with that hair of yours? What're those thing humans use again? Brushes? I think you could use one of those, or maybe a sweet hat like mine. Don't forget, this stuff is all totally free, bud!"
Dex smacked Saul on the arm and laughed nonchalantly, waiting for a reaction from the gritty blockade-runner.
