After Slick had his items purchased, he window-shopped, eyeing the other peculiar items on display. He wanted to do a once-over just in case he missed something that might be of use later and was also curious as to what the other two would buy. He specifically watched Kuroi who had eyes on one of the caged critters despite the suggestions he made. Sure, he was pulling Kuroi’s leg, but Slick found his options for the fox fellow much more valuable than a tiny odd-looking... fox. [Color=tan][i]Wait a minute..[/i][/color] He watched Kuroi leave the store with a raised eyebrow. He couldn’t begin to understand the purchase of a fox by a fox, but this was Avalia, a world where the rules swung a tad bit differently. 

[color=tan]“That’s some interesting company you keep. I mean- Whoa…”[/color] Slick noticed Mika purchasing the outfit he had brazenly pointed out for her to buy. Looks like she was going to make this man’s half-thought lustful dream a reality. A grin of satisfaction formed on his lips.

In truth, Mika had not purchased the outfit to please Slick, but was actually eyeing it herself. To blend in, Mika had to look less like a princess, and more like… like someone a bit less modest. It was not something she would typically wear as it pulled the wrong type of attention towards her, but that is exactly what made it the perfect choice. 

[color=tan]“And here I was thinking you planned on being hot in that get-up… well actually, I guess you’re still plannin’ that in a sense.”[/color] Slick winked before tipping his stetson to the young princess. The two eventually approached Kuroi plopped down underneath the tree with Mika immediately seating herself beside Kuroi to get close to the small fennec fox. Setting down the bag with her outfit, she reached over to gently pet the new member of their party.

[color=CC3366]“He’s so cute. Does he have a name yet?”[/color] Mika asked as she looked at the precious creature with a warm smile. She found the fox adorable, and was curious about Kuroi displaying a softer side. The man was much more complex than he let on, especially since she had not witnessed him interacting with anyone the same way as the fennec fox.
 
Meanwhile, Slick positioned himself on the other side of the tree and leaned his back to it. 

[color=tan]“While you two coddle the youngster there, I’m gonna get changed.”[/color] Slick quickly removed his current attire and changed into his [url=https://imgur.com/2ip8Ivk]new outfit[/url]. There were a few peepers, but he didn’t let that stop him. He placed his old clothing in the saddle bag Mika purchased for him before rolling his shoulders and rounding the tree. [color=tan]“I’m liking the feel of this. Yeaaah, this is nice.”[/color] Slick said as he looked down at his outfit and then to the other two seated beneath the tree. Noticing Slick was done, Mika got up from the ground.

[color=CC3366]“Okay so I think we’re all set. I just need to change as well.”[/color] Mika appeared as if she wanted to say more, but bit her lower lip and looked away for a moment. It was brief but noticeable. [color=CC3366]“Kuroi. Slick. I’m going to go find a hotel for us to stay for the night. The Sandpit should do. You two should find some place to eat in the meantime while I change… and get also some rest.”[/color] She handed Kuroi 100 amas that he could spend at his own volition. She would have joined them, but Mika had so much on her mind she hadn’t fully digested. Her brother’s death, the war, her father’s alliance with the dark elves, being responsible for a human in her company, and rebelling against her own kingdom. Mika just needed time to take it all in before she was overwhelmed by it all. She couldn’t meet Princess Rosaria with a troubled mind and she trusted Kuroi to keep Slick out of any trouble for a few hours. 

[Color=tan]“I don't wish to part ways but a good meal does sound just as good as a drink. Think we can do both, K[I]u[/I]roi?”[/color] He was still getting used to the man's foreign name. [Color=tan]“And can't wait to see how that there dress looks on you. A sight to behold, I reckon.”[/color] He flattered with a sultry smile.
