[@Gilgex] [/center][hr][hr][color=0099AF][b]”Is it alright if I go clothes shopping, while you look at the comics? This is sorta my last change of clothes.“[/b][/color] 

She laughed, feeling some normalcy return. [color=99ccff]"Course, stinky,"[/color] she winked. She relaxed a bit, her irritation largely vanishing. There were two things that frustrated her to no end in relationships: cliches and being constantly taken care of. She wanted to stand on her own feet, and of course, not want to gag when her sweetheart decided to be romantic. 

[color=0099AF][b]”I really am sorry Eddie. I am acting like a child, and I’ll try to do better.“[/b][/color] 

Eddie shook her head. She appreciated the gesture, but she knew that Mercury was inexperienced. He didn't need to apologize for that. [color=99ccff]"I'm just supremely stubborn and a bit stressed,"[/color] Eddie explained. She gave him a hug, and a delicate kiss on the cheek. 

[color=0099AF][b]”I can get you something too if you want. I can sorta figure out the style you like. Plus Magi knows your sizes.“[/b][/color]

She raised an eyebrow, and snorted. [i]Of course[/i] the masks knew what size she was. However, the prospect of Mercury attempting to buy clothes for her was amusing. [color=99ccff]"Alright, but if I don't like it, you have to wear it,"[/color] Eddie wagered, her tongue poking out slightly in her grin. [color=99ccff]"Choose wisely~"[/color]

Putting a hand on Mercury's arm and squeezing gently, Edwina parted and went into the comic book store. It was a way for her to destress, to escape. Quickly, she went over to the DC comic section, and looked for the L's. There, on the shelf, was the comic about her [i]favorite[/i] superhero: Lucifer.

Quickly paying for it, Eddie took the book and waited outside of the clothing store, relaxing as she read about the problems and worries of someone else. In a way, she felt like Lucifer was her brother, another version of herself. They shared the same name, after all. Misunderstood--that's what bonded her with him. He was rebelling against a predetermined fate, something she strived to do as well. 

Pulling out her phone, she scrolled to the new contact--Mercury. She sent off a little text:

[color=99ccff][i]Are we boyfriend-girlfriend?[/i][/color]

She put her phone away, only to notice it begin to ring. And ring and ring and ring. She grimaced: it was her mother. Answering the phone, she listened to a lecture about leaving Brazil with no note, about failing to show up at the train station, and a thousand other things Eddie supposedly had done.

Finally, her mother ordered her to come home. 

[color=99ccff]"I've...I've gone out with my boyfriend,"[/color] Eddie murmured. 

Her mother didn't care. She wanted Eddie to come home immediately--and if she would, bring the young man with her. It was time for some good old fashioned motherly intervention.
