[ Clarice's answer was a slight, sassy flip of his ponytail as Majima stood up and made his way over to the counter, a seat or two away from where the woman was sitting, and requested a drink.
She glanced up as he ordered. "You're a new one here." Yep. 100% the fuzz. ]
Majima looked over his shoulder at her, ducked his head in a small, deferential smile. "So you noticed?"
[ "A bit difficult not to notice, isn't it? You have an unusual look to you." ]
The corners of Majima's smile curved upward ever-so-slightly. ]
Oh, yeah... everyone's always tellin' me how tall I am.
[ A beat, and then the woman let out a laugh, her shoulders now more relaxed in their set. "What about your mistress over there? She doesn't mind?"
Majima looked back at Clarice on cue. Snippets of the conversation may have reached Clarice, depending on how much she was listening, so hopefully she'd back him up with some sort of appropriate gesture! ]
