((OOC: BAhhh! But I so wanted a love triangle!!! XD))

Elial nearly blushed when she put her hands on his face out of nowhere, but he managed to control it somehow. She had a way of being completely random but reasonable at the same time. Perhaps it would be something that Elial never understood.

Why would she be glad that he was not married? Maybe it was because it did not make him stuffy like the other Englishmen, or maybe it was because he did not have responsibilities to take care of instead of spending time with her. Or...just maybe, it was because she really liked him. He tried not to think about it too hard for fear of both blushing again, and getting his hopes up.

Trying to concentrate on the food again, Elial noticed that her plate was all soaked, though his was not. Motioning toward it, he asked, "Do you want another plate? I am sure that the waitress will bring you some new food."

The young man took another bite into his food and then another, managing to finish it quite swiftly. The cool iced tea was really acting as a great supplement to the meal.

"Where else should we be headed now?"

((Awww! No one said she didn’t like Eli XD))

He really looked cute when he blushed, that was a good memory to have. She shook her head, she didn’t need anymore food she was done. The waitress came back asking Elial if they wanting any dessert but Kysse answered before him. She didn’t care if the waitress wasn’t talking to her.

“We can go anywhere; it’s your choice now.”

The waitress came by and slid the check onto the table. Before Elial could get hold of it she threw some cash down. She was ready to be out of that restaurant. The waitress asked if she needed cash back or a receipt and Kysse once again said no. She was already on her way out of the place. She wasn’t storming out angrily or anything, she was still happy, just wanted to be out in the sunlight, not inside.

((Yeahhhhhh, but I really wanted it to be tough. XDDD I guess I can't.))

Elial frowned about Kysse paying for the bill, but as she was chipper and wanted to be on the way, he made no fuss about it this time. He remembered, though, to pay for the next meal if she would let him. Not being able to almost sent a shiver down his spine. He could hear his mother scolding him for it, thinking about how she had trained him before she died on how to take care of a woman. Elial thought now that his mother did not take into account the women that would rather not be taken care of.

He was out the door behind Kysse before the waitress could catch a hold of him, which was a good and bad thing. With the bags in one hand and the sunlight on his face, the Englishman was in good spirits.

Elial didn't know what else they were going to go for, but he had an idea. "How about we look for casual attire? The weather will be warm, but I wish to be comfortable even if I am not on the beach. Say we go walking. Perhaps I should have some clothing for that...I do not know what kind, but I think it is a good idea."

Really Elial had never been in such weather. Sure it was beautiful in England, but it never really got as warm as the Carribbean, so most of the things he owned were long pants or shirts.

Turning to face him she began walking backwards. Surprisingly she kept her balance and didn’t trip. Perhaps his story had raised her confidence. Though, that couldn’t really keep her from falling. If casual clothes were what he wanted, then she could picture him in something preppy, at least around there. With that thought she led him toward the two-story Abercrombie and Fitch. She pictured him in a pair of khaki shorts a polo and a pair of sandals and it made her smile widen.

Then again, she wasn’t sure what his style preference really was. What if he didn’t like those kinds of clothes? Then again that store always had comfortable clothes and that’s usually what she found for Claude. Wasn’t that all men were really concerned about? Heck, some never even matched because they were only searching for something clean.

“Does it matter what style they are?”

She’d turned back around and begun walking next to him. As soon as they reached the store she opened the door for him. Cool air slid out of the building, along with it was the mixed scent of men’s cologne and women’s perfume, neither of which Kysse would ever wear.

((Hmm... do what?))

((PLay Eli up more so that Kysse would like him better and then have this crazy awesome love triangle. XD I kinda like how things are going now though))

"Well, I was thinking of some nice thin tank tops or t-shirts. I do not really like anything too heavy, especially since we are going to be out in the sun all the time! I often wear tank tops for training and they are quite comfortable, though my wardrobe is rather sparse and quite plain," Elial commented, shrugging as he thought about it more.

He thanked her for the door and entered the coolness of the store, enjoying the lights that played across the clothing and then wood panelled flooring. There were a lot of customers in this store and all bustling about the mannequins with the lastest fashion and the brightest colours. Elial looked around before turning to Kysse.

"What do you think I should start with? I do not really have any footwear or any of this type of clothing for that matter..."

The young man was beginning to think that it probably would've been a good idea to show her what he had in order for her to really decide on what would work and what wouldn't, but they were too far past that now. No turning back! He would just probably have to try on a lot of things and decide what was best from there. Besides, these clothes were reasonably affordable compared to the suits he had just purchased, even if these were also name brand.

Elial barely noticed that some of the women in the store had turned to look at him and his awesome casual but chic looking glory. He had Kysse to thank for the outfit, true, but he did not really pay attention to the people around him. He really just took in Kysse and the sight of her. Her voice was warm and cheery, filling his mind. He valued her opinion and trusted her judgement.

Kysse paid no mind to the stares each of them got. It was easy to not pay attention when she didn’t notice them. Still, who wouldn’t look at them, it wasn’t like Elial was the only good looking one of the two. She also got plenty of glances as they entered the store. The teens that managed this store weren’t as helpful as the others. Then again, if Kysse were to ask a woman for help, the girl would glare due to Elial’s appearance. Jealousy was a confusing thing to a girl who hardly understood the feeling but certainly knew the meaning. On the other hand if she asked a guy they seemed to loose their ability to talk which just annoyed Kysse and proved them to be useless.

The guys section wasn’t hard to find. It occupied most of the lower level, while the girls were forced to go up stairs. Kysse already had some stuff in mind while she searched about the store. She expected him to do the same. It was then she stumbled over and outfit she liked, it was white and yellow, two colors she happened to love.

After snatching them up she found Elial and pushed him toward the dressing rooms, which were just curtained doors. It was amazing that no one chastised him for the sword here, or perhaps everyone was too captivated by his eyes and face to look elsewhere. Still she pushed him toward the rooms and offered him the outfit.

“I’ll be right back with another but you still have to show me.”

With that she pushed the clothes into his hands and was gone rather quickly. She had to hurry and pick another outfit before he was finished changing. This was much more fun than shopping for herself.

((Shirt and Shorts!))

Of course Elial was having a look at for a pile of shirts, but he was abruptly dragged by Kysse toward the dressing room, which he didn't mind. It wasn't like he was having much luck finding things on his own anyway. He put himself in and took the clothes that she flung at him and then closed the door.

Taking off the jacket carefully and putting it on a hanger, Elial looked into the mirror and wondered about what they had discussed before. Was he really ashamed of how he looked? Was he really displeased with the way that his eyes were or his hair or his body? He couldn't tell. He had gotten so used to disliking it and being indifferent that he couldn't tell what his father wanted and what he wanted.

There was nothing more to do but to just take off all his clothes and try the things on that Kysse had given him. He really did not mind the colour at all, but thought that if there had been black stripes he would've looked like a bumblebee!!! With his hair, was it alright that these colours were on him? He did not know!

Finishing the change, he peered out of the dressing room and looked for Kysse. He did not want to step out in such a busier place with so many people around to look at him.

When he poked his head out, she was there, well not at that moment but about a second later. After all she wasn’t going to abandon him. Though she looked small and frail, considering her slim figure, she pulled him out to have a look. It was cute as she had expected.

“Do you like it? Are they comfortable? They look great if I do say so myself.”

Already she had a fresh new outfit in her hands. The jeans were long but they would look good and weren’t too thick. Good for hot weather and some terrain. After all, they could go hiking, right? Who knew what their trip would be like? The look he got from the clothes was nice, but he’d need a pair of tennis shoes or sandals. That could be taken care of later, for now she gave him the next outfit and a pair of swim trunks.

He felt like a doll that she could dress; only he dressed himself. The thought made her blush but before he could see it and wonder why she was blushing she was off again. The store was still busy and many people looked at her oddly for going near the men’s dressing rooms but she didn’t care, and neither did the boys who were going there to try stuff on.

((Jeans, shirt, and swimwear.))

Elial laughed, trying not to think too hard on the situation. He rubbed the back of his head with his hand as he looked down at the clothes and then to her, responding to her question," Well...yes, it is quite comfortable. The fabric is soft and seems pretty thin...I still need shoes th-"

Before he could finish Kysse had given him more clothes. He took them into the dressing room and closed the door because she dodged away again. Sure, the young woman was enjoying it, but Elial had to admit that in his own way he was liking it as well. It had been a shock to receive so much attention from a person, but it was a good one. He felt like someone was finally noticing him and doing something about it.

Putting the jeans and shirt on, he smiled at his reflection. This shirt was really a winner. He liked how it was white but blue too. Perhaps that was starting to be his favourite colour. He did not know. He had never really thought about colour much before or what he was wearing. Gazing himself over with his clear ruby eyes, he nodded. Yes. Good choice.

Stepping out of the dressing room more confidently, he waited for Kysse to be back in a second, which, of course, she delivered.

When she came back she had even more clothes than before, mainly shirts. These new clothes were a test; she wasn’t sure how he’d look in red or pink. Pink was her favorite color so she had to try it once. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder how it would go with his eyes. If they red and pink made them stand out she would probably make him buy them.

She brought a pink button up shirt, a red polo, and a plain grey tee; their tees were always so comfortable. Along with it, another pair of twill shorts and some different type of jeans were in her arms. The shorts would have to go with something plain though, something like one of the tank tops he wore, which wasn’t a bad thing, and she figured he’d like that. Unfortunately it was hard for her to find tank tops for guys in here, though she’d shorn they carried them.

She looked over his outfit. She liked it, but it wasn’t amazing. Maybe it was the shirt? No, it was definitely the jeans, he needed darker ones with such a light shirt.

“I would say yes to both, just not together… if that made sense. Umm, the light shirt would go better with a darker jean. Or at least, that’s how I see it.”

She smiled and shrugged. Also, she couldn’t think of anything else to bring him so she would stay here this time. As she handed him the new clothes she told him she wouldn’t run off this time.

((Umm, yeah, on the website I can’t find any tank tops/wife beaters >.> ))

((No prob! I'll do some rearranging of my own *cackles*))

Elial nodded and replied that it made sense to him. He really liked the shirt, so he decided, upon re-entering the dressing room, to start a pile for the things he knew he wanted. He kept the shirt there and then put the jeans in another pile, not really knowing what to do with them yet. Deciding to pass up the swim trunks for now, since he had already tried several on and gotten some, he moved toward the shirts and shorts.

Taking off the shirt he had on, his arms stuck over the top of the dressing room so that Kysse could probably see them. He was a bit tall. Deciding that the two articles would match best, he put them on. Elial stepped out of the door, knowing that Kysse would be standing there and not somewhere else that time.

He put his hands on his hips and let her look at the outfit on him. "I am not sure that I like having the logo so broad on this shirt...I feel as though I am an advertisement. The colours are also a bit...interesting. I am not sure if I feel that tan and black go together so well."

She shook her head at the outfit, yes to the shorts, no to the top, or at least, no to them together. The way the shirt hung to him was really nice and Kysse found herself looking at his body. After realizing that, she looked up and smiled apologetically. Hopefully he hadn’t caught that, though it was obvious.

“Maybe that would go better with the shirt you wore last night.”

Remembering last night made her bite her lip. Undressing him had been an odd thing for her, but she remembered it as if she’d over come something. Not that it mattered, she hadn’t completely undressed him or anything.

“Try something else on.”

For some stupid reason she found herself thinking about things like undressing him, which in reality wasn’t stupid. Then again she’d never really fantasized before. In the frustration of her cheeks being set on fire she stumbled around nervously and bumped into some people. Jumping back she apologized and regained her self control as she looked back at Elial’s dressing room.

Elial entered the dressing room, not noticing the look that Kysse had given him except for the smile that he cherished. He hadn't really gotten attached to those shorts, which was sad because he really felt like he should have some. Turning to the polo and the jeans, he nodded. This was something more like he was used to seeing. Maybe they would go well together. At least, the polo looked good on the hanger!

After removing the shorts and shirt he took the polo and put it on and then the second pair of jeans. Looking at them, he realized that he liked them better than the ones he had before, though he couldn't tell why. Perhaps it was the darker wash.

Elial exitted the dressing room and nodded to Kysse. "I think that I like this colour...the shirt that is. I am not sure about the jeans. Are all the jeans cut like this? Torn up and faded? Is that natural?"

He was not quite sure. All he was positive of was that if his father caught him in such clothing he would be skinned alive! The general would demand an explanation for why the clothing was in such poor condition and when Elial would explain that that was the fashion he would probably spit and tell him that it was absolutely repulsive! Why would clothing be destroyed before being sold?

Elial looked to Kysse for some sort of explanation or at least an opinion on whether the outfit looked good or not.

The red did go well with him. It made her think of a warm cinnamon candle she had once. With it she gave him a thumbs up again, that is until he said something. Everything he question made her laugh.

“It’s supposed to be that way, and I’m horrible at noticing differences in male jeans, so maybe there were others but I thought those would go well with the shirts I picked out. If you want me to find something else, name it and I’ll look.”

Looking around she saw other racks of pants, when he went in she would most likely run off to grab a different pair.

Elial nodded and smiled, "Perhaps a few more short options. I am not altogether certain if I liked the pair that I tried on just now...I think I will also keep these jeans on and try that pink shirt."

After returning to the dressing room and locking the door behind him he couldn't help but let out a tired sigh. It definitely was not because he was not enjoying himself. Rather, it was just the action of changing that he was so not used to that made him feel exasperated a bit. The Englishman knew that it was something that he should do though. Practice!!!

Elial looked at the pink shirt before putting it on. He wasn't exactly particular to the colour, not was he against it completely. He supposed that in England there weren't as many people who wore this colour...males that is. It would be a bit...feminine there and he did not want to be ridiculed...however, so long as he did not wear it there, why should he not try it here in Japan or in the Carribbean? He supposed that many people wore this colour and obviously if it was in the male section of the store, it was popular.

He kept the jeans like he promised and put the shirt on, stepping out to show Kysse this oufit.

The shirt didn’t go with the wash, but she still liked it. Stepping forward she didn’t something without thinking. She hugged him and told him that it was cute. First off, she hugged him, and secondly guys didn’t like hearing the word cute.

“Pink is my favorite color.”

After saying that, she jumped back and laughed nervously. Her hand reached up and rested on her hair for a moment and she just felt stupid. Wait, was he done then? Was that the last outfit? She didn’t ask, it might be rude instead she waited for his response. Again, if he needed anything she would grab it but she didn’t ask.

She stifled a yawn; it occurred to her that they’d been there all day. Perhaps this would be their last store.

Elial was a bit surprised by the hug, but was pleased to receive it. He was about to hug her in response, but before he could she dodged away again. Trying not to think about it too hard he looked down at the shirt and motioned toward it. "I am not sure about the colour. Do you think that there is a better option for pants or shorts that I might be able to match with it? I am not sure if these fit very well..."

He looked back into the closet-like dressing room at the two piles he had been forming and then back at Kysse. "Also, I have one pair of swim trunks to try on...if you would still like me to. I think that it might be a good idea. I am not sure though."

Elial was feeling rather nervous more and more as people stared at the two of them. Was it natural to be dressing here so and to be showing your clothing out in the open? He almost wanted to drag Kysse back inside the dressing room and show her there, but he knew that that was definitely inappropriate. He took a deep breath and sighed it out, trying to concentrate and calm his mind. There were too many things in there racing and trying to claim his attention all at once! No good!

"What do you think? Another pair of shorts with this shirt? Or jeans?"

It took a moment but she too noticed the other people. In her own mind she was arguing over whether she should say short or jeans. The other pair of jeans would go good with the shirt, but so would the shorts, so maybe it didn’t matter.

“Shorts… jeans… shorts.”

That sounded exactly like the argument in her head. She shook her head and said jeans one more time, then said that he should try on the swim suit. Either one would go though, maybe. Before she could think or do anything else she was off again. As she walked through the store she felt so stupid and embarrassed. Then she began wondering about how he saw her, did he think of her as some weird girl whose actions merely entertained him?

No way! She shook her head and ignored the women trying to offer her perfume samples. Blindly she wondered through the men’s clothing and looked at all the jeans. Her phone began to silently ring in her purse. The vibrations caught her attention and she answered the phone and returned to the fitting rooms. It was Rizel. The conversation was short but left Kysse feeling a little confused.

Really, Kysse disappeared without much of a word to Elial. Left in a rather desperate and confusing situation, the young man found himself having to decide on his own. Returning for hopefully one of the last trips to that fateful dressing room, he took off the shirt and jeans and decided to try on the swim trunks. That would be the end of it! If she found jeans or shorts that looked good with the shirt then he would just buy them, no more fuss involved!!!

After putting on the swimming attire he left the room and stood out waiting for her. Of course, this was the most embarrassing of all because he looked really like a model for the store, albeit with long dark hair instead of highlighted blonde and a fierce surfer hair cut. His body was just about as sculpted, though a little lankier, than the models in the pictures on the walls and the yellow glow of lights that emphasized the different styles on the mannequins definitely showed Elial off as well.

The white of the shorts only did more to emphasize the fact that they fit him quite nicely, especially around the waist. He turned, looking to make sure that nothing was caught on the bum of the shorts, like loose fuzz. How disgraceful that would be! Waiting for Kysse and paying attention to grooming the swim trunks, he did not notice the women who stopped to oggle him for a moment before snapping from their reveries and continuing to shop. Some did not stop looking and turned their gazes to Kysse, as if to scrutinize and deduce whether she was really with him or not.

By lack of physical contact, they determined it was not so. Elial just offered a smile to her and shrugged. "I do not know whether I like these shorts or not. I certainly think that it would be wise to get another pair, but I find that I enjoyed the shorts from the other place much more. These are comfortable, but not completely necessary. What do you think of this style?"

What a silly question to ask her, of all people. As she had thought earlier, he could make anything look good. That and Kysse liked white swim suits, they made your skin look nicer, not that that would matte to Elial, but it was just something she had thought.

“I like it, but I picked it out, so I think I have to.”

A rather cute laugh escaped her at her words. It wasn’t true, she didn’t have to like it, but she did. Thing was she didn’t want to come off as obsessed with him, even though she already felt that he thought that way. For a moment she felt a little odd looking him over. It felt as if she were getting attached to him. The last thing she wanted was to seem dependant on him or anyone for that matter. Excluding Claude, of course, he was her father which made the circumstances different.

“Did you want to look at anything, or are you done?”

Kysse was now tempted to go around the store pulling the clothes of the headless mannequins to make Elial try on just so she could look at him. It would even be fun if he ran around picking things out for her, but if he were to step into the girls section he could cause an uproar.

“Maybe we should both try and pack before the week is over.”

Saying that made her start to panic a bit, she was like this every time she had to pack. That and she always packed too much or not enough. That wasn’t her best quality.

Elial considered the swim trunks and then thought that he would probably get them later when he was packing and decided he needed more. It would be a good idea to start doing all of that soon. It wasn't like the young man had anything else on his agenda really, so getting those things done would be a breeze!

"I think that I am finished. I have some clothing put away that I could probably bring on this trip, so I think that I will be fine with what I have. Also, when we are on the trip if I see something I like I think I could buy it to wear it too. There is nothing wrong with that!" Elial exclaimed, liking this more and more.

He therefore changed back into his casual, yet classy outfit and went to wait in the line to purchase. He had in his arms one pair of the jeans and the red polo. That would be all he got from this store for now! There were also shoes and things that he could get later. Elial hoped that if Kysse did not help him on those other things that he would be able to figure them out on his own. While waiting, he began to wonder what it would really be like out there in the water. He would have to bring a camera or something in order to photograph and take them back to his sister so that she could see. Of course Elaina would want to come next time! If there was a next time!

Elial put the items on the counter when he reached the front register and answered the clerk's questions quite blandly on whether everything was to his taste. Although he tried to be kind and polite whenever possible, Elial's mind was elsewhere.

He paid and took up the bag, nodding in thanks and then followed Kysse out of the door. This was going to be the beginning of a totally different adventure entirely!

"Alright. Now I think we're quite prepared! Let us be off!"
