"[b][color=f6989d]You'll regret that~[/color][/b]" Emiri called as she let her feet take her into her little adventure. Not even in the palace did she see so many clothes (the palace had enough to clothe the entire capital). She eyed the many employees, once more feeling a pang of jealousy at their golden locks, though she perked up as one of them approached her. Her skin was tanned, making her hair stand out more, and her lips were colored a nice red. Emiri suddenly wished she weren't so pale. "[b]Welcome to Blanche, are you looking for anything in particular?[/b]" The lady spoke, showing off her dazzling smile. No wonder there were so many women here. The employees were drop dead gorgeous and wore merchandise from the store; no doubt the women probably tried to match them, or at the very least imitate them. Still, Emiri gave in to temptation and let the lady guide her through the many shelves, picking this shirt and that skirt and this dress and pretty soon Emiri had a pile in her arms nearly as big as she was. She made her way to the changing room and began nitpicking. Iit was a quick process, as, once again, her chest often made the choices for her. She was about to go back out when the lady poked her head in. "[b]Terribly sorry, I just found this and thought you'd look adorable in it.[/b]" She procured a beige dress, and Emiri lifted it up to look at it. Why did it look so small? Still, the lady had already left with everything she didn't want. It wouldn't be any harm to try it on, right? [i]But adorable? I'm twenty three! I'm not a child![/i] She griped as she pulled it over her head. It was very form fitting, but she thanked the gods that her chest managed to fit. The sleeves had a slight puff to them, it hung just above her knees, the back was laced together and a cute ribbon was on the back of her waist. It really was adorable, though she didn't much like how much younger she looked in it. She already had issues with people thinking she was still in school. Emiri stepped out with her wish list, looking around for the employee. "[b][color=fdc68a]You have good taste, I never would have guessed with your boring choices back at the castle.[/color][/b]" A woman spoke, catching her attention. [i]That voice...![/i] Emiri whirled around, nearly bumping into the source of the voice. "[b][color=f6989d]Nadeline?![/color][/b]" "[b][color=fdc68a]The one and only, thank you.[/color][/b]" Nadeline wrinkled her nose at the shirt on top of Emiri's pile. "[b][color=fdc68a]By the way, that color is dreadful on you. For you, I would go for anything demure, feminine. Like that dress, it's adorable~[/color][/b]" Emiri threw down the blouse and placed her hand on her hip. "[b][color=f6989d]What in the world are you doing here? And...what in the world are you wearing?[/color][/b]" Nadeline mimicked Emiri, placing a hand on her hip, though she carried a tome in the other. No, she wasn't wearing the same plain shirt and pants from Bhujerba, her [url= http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1299/maoamimifull1316716.jpg]outfit[/url] seemed much more costume like. Her shirt (if she could call it that) left little to the imagination as she showed her stomach and chest, her plaited miniskirt and low boots were the complete opposite of the usual Nadeline. "[b][color=fdc68a]I can tell you somewhere private, the walls have ears.[/color][/b]" She replied, lightly tousling her hair. "[b][color=fdc68a]Also I'm incognito, so to speak, so obviously I needed a new outfit that was more fitting to someone that was more on the common side. I thought you'd like it.[/color][/b]" [i]You stick out like a cockatrice among chickens.[/i] Emiri thought, raising an eyebrow at her. "[b][color=f6989d]That's a lot of skin showing. It's...look, I'll...fine, fine, fine. Miss! I'll take these![/color][/b]" The employee approached the pair, though her eyes and Nadeline's locked for just a moment. The two seemed to be judging the other's appearance, though it lasted all of three seconds as the employee looked at Emiri. "[b]What a darling choice, will that be all?[/b]" Emiri dropped whatever else she had picked out onto the woman's arms, and took Nadeline by the hand as she approached Jaakuna. "[b][color=fdc68a]Returning to the scene of the crime, that is an amateur mistake, Sky Pirate.[/color][/b]" Nadeline stated as Emiri paused in front of him. She ignored her. "[b][color=f6989d]We just need to pay, and this one has something to tell us, apparently.[/color][/b]" "[b][color=fdc68a]Are you on a date?[/color][/b]" Nadeline asked curiously. Emiri kicked her in response. "[b][color=fdc68a]How rude! It was a perfectly good question![/color][/b]"
