[Bruce is coincidentally also window-shopping, although unlike Eridan he looks much more intent about it. (He's missing a lot of equipment; it's worth scouting the area to see what materials are available.) But apart from the intent look, and the fact that Bruce is noticeably bigger than most of the other people at the mall, he blends in much better than Eridan does.]
[As such, he probably notices Eridan first.]
[He debates a moment before approaching him. Eridan's a... concerning individual, and Bruce decides it wouldn't hurt to check in. He raises his voice to be noticeable over the background noise of the mall.]
Eridan.
[And if Eridan turns, he'll see Bruce standing at the window of an electronics retailer. The intentness has faded now that he's switching to Socialization Mode.]
