There were options to select the type of store and products you wanted to buy. She didn't need those because she had an idea of what she wanted to buy. The map showed all of the stores and their location in the mall, that would come in handy. Her plan was to split the gift buying into guys and girls. The guys would be easy, there were usually less options. Something neutral and useful in everyday life, like a solid colored shirt. She looked at the available stores, Cara, J&M, Forever 23, Flourish, Beyond Bathing, JL Max and a whole lot more. Daphne was surprised at some of the available stores. Compared to Gotham Happy Habor could barely be considered a town. She walked to her first destination, looking at the list on her phone. A set of workout clothes for Viktor, a long sleeved shirt for Talon, a green sleeveless hoodie for Ja, a purple tie for Zach, something baseball or soccer related for Felix. She knew he practiced both sports by checking out his social media. Casper was probably the most tricky. On one hand there were a ton of things she could buy, but on the other hand...... It would be nice to not go for the obvious. She wanted to get him something with thought and attention behind it. She had a strategy for these kind of challenges. She would know what to get him when she saw it, meaning she had to wander around a couple of stores. One of her favorite things to do. Just browse and come up with ideas. Daphne stepped into Forever 23, trying to ignore the women's section and making a beeline for the mens clothes. They had a great selection and she immediately started to browse. She pulled out a couple of options for the guys, feeling blissful. She loved buying things for someone else. After about an half an hour of careful consideration, comparing and swapping out sizes she'd managed to find something for Viktor, Ja, Talon and Zach. Daphne pulled out each article of clothing for one last check, to see if there weren't any stains or holes in them. When she held up Viktor's shirt and shorts she started to doubt again. She'd gone back and forth on his size twice and she still wasn't sure it was a good fit for him. It would be annoying if he had to return it and that was the last thing she wanted. Daphne felt like annoying him was all she'd done so far, so the gift had to be perfect. She sighed and hugged the clothes to her chest, a frown on her face. After a couple of minutes of quiet pondering Daphne decided to go back and compare the size one more time. That was likely going to make her doubt more, but she was out of ideas. Feeling decidedly less enthusiastic she went back to the sports section, grabbing the same shirt one size up and holding them next to each other. Daphne sighed, rubbing her temples in frustration. She cupped her face with her right hand, staring at the shirts sideways. [color=Lightgreen][i]This was hopeless....[/i][/color] She looked up at the ceiling with pleading eyes. Maybe the answer would come down from shopping heaven? [color=Pink]"Are you checking if there is a second floor?"[/color] A girl spoke up standing beside her jokingly. Daphne turned to her and shook her head with a slightly defeated smile. [color=Pink]"I saw you from over there, trying to figure this out"[/color] She said, pointing to the shirt situation. [color=Pink]"I think I can help you out"[/color] [color=Pink]"Cameron get your butt over here!"[/color] The girl called out to her brother sitting on the edge of a display table full of jeans. Cameron sighed, clearly done with his sister's shopping trip. Daphne smiled more cheerfully this time, turning to the siblings next to her. [color=Lightgreen]"Oh that would be really great, usually I don't have any trouble with this, but I really need to get the right size."[/color] Daphne sized up the girl's brother Cameron, he was about the same height as Viktor, just not as muscular. The girl offered to let her brother try on Viktor's clothes to get the sizing right and Daphne gratefully agreed. When they walked over to the dressing rooms, the girls chatted a bit and Cameron followed reluctantly. He tried on both shirts but Daphne still wasn't convinced. [color=Lightgreen]"You're really helping me out, thanks so much for that. Could you....uhm...try on the large on top of your hoodie?"[/color] The teen girl didn't really know how to put it gently. He just didn't have the muscle mass to fill out the shirt and she needed to see how it looked. It couldn't be floppy or too tight, it had to be just right. [color=Pink]"You heard her Cam, her boyfriend's built"[/color] Lea laughed, throwing the hoodie back at her brother. Daphne took a sip of her jasmine iced tea but nearly spat it out when she heard Lea's comment. Tears sprung up in her eyes and she coughed, trying not to spill on her white top. She took out a tissue and cleaned up her face and cup. Good thing she was wearing waterproof make up today. [color=Pink]"You okay girl?"[/color] Lea snorted, while Cameron mumbled to himself. After they helped her finally settle on a size Daphne thanked the siblings one more time with many excessive thank you's and smiles and they went their separate ways. Daphne picked up a custom engraved basketball with Felix's name on it along with his alias Gold Rush. She managed to spot something for Casper too, in the most unexpected store too. So far she was doing great. All she needed was something for the girls and cute gift wrapping paper. She dropped her iced tea in the trash can neatly and took the elevator to the top floor. The mall only had two floors. Daphne stepped through the elevator doors and was on route to the next store, absorbed into her own thoughts. Someone tailed the teen girl discreetly, following her from the elevator. He kept his distance, looking just like any other typical shopper. He went into each store she did, watching her from a couple of aisles down, sometimes even crossing paths, pretending to browse items.
