Going shopping!

[Rykoyo]

[Posting part one first and then editing the rest in since this will be my sixth time trying to post on my phone. >_>;]

Rykoyo, noticing all the attention being drawn their way, grinned at the onlookers with cheerful impudence. Laughing, he asked,

"You were saying? With the looks we're getting, you'd think we were Martians or something."

He considered her questions, his expression thoughtful, then smiled.

"Well, the first part is easy. We'll just stop in at the nearest shop,"

he pointed out the building in question and continued,

"and get a recommendation. Anyone worth going to will be someone the shopkeepers all know. As for 'fixes', well, you don't need much. You can turn heads without the help of your current outfit, I'll warrant. Something more subtly flattering will do quite well. The seamstress can help you there."

{*pat Pat* you poor thing...}

Bella arched her brow as she listened to Ryko. She didn't want to talk to anyone...She was not used to this at all... Anytime what so ever that she ever talked to a human was for them to become her next meal ticket... Not have normal every day conversation with them, thats just not right to her... Thats almost like her mother would have yelled at her and told her to stop playng with her food....


"Uh... you speak for me.... You got me into this..."

She said a little shyly as she hid her face behind his head, all the while still in piggy-back mode.

He chuckled as he angled toward their destination, saying,

"As you wish. Mind your head now."

That said, he opened the door and crossed the threshold. Looking around, he found that they had entered a knick-knack shop. It was small when compared to the mall establishments, but had an air of welcome that the mall stores lacked. An almost dizzying variety of figurines, ornamental boxes, and odds and ends of all sorts were neatly arranged on meticulously clean shelves. Windchimes and wall hangings hung on hooks set in the walls. There was even a small selection of curio cabinets for sale in the corners, themselves filled with still more wares. A tall, broad-shouldered man looked up from behind a long glass display case in the back of the shop. He looked to be approaching middle age, and clearly fighting for every inch of ground against it. He was an oddity among curiousities, but his face was genial, and lit with warmth and supressed laughter at the sight of them.

"Welcome, welcome! How may I help you today?"

Rykoyo felt an answering grin twitch his lips up once again.

"Unfortunately, sir, our business takes us elsewhere. We were wondering, though, if you could point us to a good seamstress?"

Comprehension flashed across the man's face and he grinned widely.

"Ah, a seamstress, eh? For that, you'll be wanting to see Kizoku a block down from here. She's young, but looking at her work, you'd never guess it."

Rykoyo smiled again and nodded politely.

"I see. Thank you very much, sir."

The shopkeeper chuckled and said,

"Think nothing of it. Come back soon now, y'hear?"

With a laugh of his own, Rykoyo nodded again and left the store with a friendly wave. After walking for a short while, he said, half to himself it seemed,

"That went pretty well, I think. Now to find the shop. A block down...Not far at all."

[Bellana]

Bella ducked her head just in time as he had mentioned for her to watch out. Blinking she shook her head with a smirk, but said nothing, as her gaze was drawn to the interior of the place. This person had to be immaculate... thats just not right to be that clean... and neet....although.... she guessed that thats what it took to be a storekeeper and what not. Definately something that she couldn't handle at this point in time...

Listening to the conversation between the two, she decided to stay quiet untill they left and were back outside, where she didn't feel so closed in... although that being rather odd for a vampire.

" Well that was interesting to say the least... He didn't look at me in anything other then a normal person... weird.... anywho.. seemstress hooooooo" She was acting like a complete and total fool, but she didn't care, for she was having fun.

[:3 PLACEHOLDER! After this post, I'm hoping to get Kizoku to join. If not, we'll just play it that she's out of her shop when we get there. So until I know for sure... this! ^^;]
