Michelle gives Skyrah a fake pout, she already knew that she would not willingly join in with dancing. "Well the boys might like it if you knew how to dance. Like the boy who came to the lounge to visit you." She giggled as she smiled at the thought of Skyrah falling in love. Her smile fades with the talk of fighting  "I fight because I'm ordered to. And it allows me to fly. I do not have a choice." A smile returns as she continues "But i get to be with Kaarle and I only met him because I chose to fly." she then pushes skyrah
"so why do you fight Skyrah"
  She she tries on several outfits with the girls she continues speaking over the privacy barriers. thaking the conversation back to something fun "Besides boys though, Dancing is suppose to make you a better fighter."
  she exits the stall and gives her opinion on any outfit the others shows off. She secretly wished Kaarle had come with as she was wanting his on her own choices.

  She like Mirage and hoped she could help get Skyrah out of her shell.

  And as the morning grew to lunch time she reminded the others it was time to rejoin the others for pizza.  she paid for her outfits and made her way back to the pizza parlor looking for Kaarle.

Cerise goes along with the clothes shopping experience, offering her opinion about fashion only when asked. Considering that she does not wear clothes, her opinion is a bit odd, and she admits as much.

@ Sillia, Aravae "I have found that the best advice is often far easier given than followed; ultimately men and women amongst most species are quite different, socially, at least in all the small things. The advice, of course, is to embrace those differences. While you find it unsubtle, and perhaps a bit embarrassing, for your affection to be made public, most males, especially young ones, need it to be made obvious, or they will not recognize it and react accordingly."

  "I will take these classes you speak of. I think anything that gets me out of a daily routine aboard the Gambit would be good. Though I think I will only dance with Xavier. I do not think it wise to dance with men I am not mated too." thinking for a minute she add to the conversation again. "Well rumor has it you play music on the hanger deck Skyrah. Perhaps you can play music while the others practice dancing."
 When the topic changed to the fighting she tried to lighten it up and keep the days spirits high. "I chose to join to see the Galaxy, new worlds and make new friends. Something I am proud to say I have done well so far. Perhaps when all is done with this tour we can consider each other as friends as well."


  @ Silas - "Don' mind Xaviers clothing. Ever since he discovered comics he has tried to replicate their images. He thinks they were what represented the human race before the war. He even took his name from one of the Comics he likes to read." She even hands him a set of none military cargo pants and several different colored t-shirs.

  She smiles at some of the outfits she found for Aravae. She was not sure who she felt worse for. Her little sister or Thirteen. She Knew Aravae would not be able to break through the kids shell. but she hoped she could help give him back something before he dies in one of the many battles.
 Needing a few minutes to herself she went to find something for a private show for Xaiver later.

  When it was time to go meet up with the boys She carried her small bag but felt no guilt letting Aravae carry her large bag of clothing.

  @ Cerise - "I fully agree with that." she looks at Aravae "Smile, Xavier may have helped without knowing." Turning back to Cerise "You will make an Excellent mother one day."

 @ Cerise and those listening - Aravae gives a smile and reluctantly agrees to not over react. But you can tell she is trying to fake it. "I will try to not take it so personally. Thirteen is my only friend and I really like him."

@ Sillia Cerise smiles "Thank you, I think. Being a parent for my species is a bit of a different process, but, from my understanding, that is a nice complement amongst most species."

@ All the girls + Silas After a while of clothes shopping, Cerise offers another option up for the group's consideration; "Would anybody be interested in checking out the jewelry stores after the morning meeting?"

  Michelle is up for the jewelry store, she wants to acquire some stuff.

@females+Siris

"Jewelry sounds good.  Maybe we can all get the same pin, earrings, or something?  Maybe something custom?"

  Silla agrees to the idea of looking for jewelry. If there is a cute pin or earrings that everyone can agree on then she will be interested. but for her its just window shopping.

@ The Clothes Buying Group

Skyrah looks at all the clothes handed to her by Mirage, then at the others. "You all are enjoying this way to much." She says flatly.

"I am not taking dancing lessons, I'll watch you lot do it but I have a line to draw and thats it. I'll even draw you a picture of what you look like doing it." She said. Still she had no interest in dancing. Though at the mention of Nick, she did turn a little red. "If he wants me to dance, he can teach me. Plus...it leaves something for him to do with me since we're both always busy." Yup, there's that tactical mindset working again.

"As to what I fight for. Them." She points to all the civilians. "On Earth there are hundreds of millions more. If we do not take it back, we won't survive another few generations. I fight for love, music, art, culture. I fight for choice. I fight for a fathers love, even if I only hear it over a communicator as I am dieing. I fight for each and every one of you, to make sure you all get home alive. I fight.....for Nick too." She said softly. "I do not fight because I have to, because I am ordered to. I choose to remain here. When they put all of that tactical knowledge in my head, I must of formulated at least one hundred plans to leave this and never be seen again. I didn't do any of them though, and chose to stay, for everyone." She then leaves it at that, with a genuine heart felt smile, and a small nod, as she wanders into the changing room to try on the cloths.

  Michelle feels a little ashamed of her answer after listening to Skyrah's response about why she chose to fight. She walks over to her and gives her a hug. "You maybe the best of us for the reasons you gave, I hope your father does not disappoint you in the end."

  But not willing to leave it like this so serious, she gives a sly smile; "Reader, your the perfect soldier. If Cerise ordered you to take a dance class your gonna do it." she giggles at her own joke.

Ladies, LADIES!
He says trying to get their attention.
How about we find myself some nice cloths to wear before you decide to go to a jewelry store. The cargo shorts that Sillia handed me are good but I don't like the way these shirts feel, should I just go shirtless? He says as he takes his shirt off in front of them. Showing off all of the piercings and tattoos he has on his upper body. I do need some new jewels, maybe one of you ladies could help me pick something new out.

Xavier with thirteen in tow, made it to what he thought was a promising store to shop for some cloths for thirteen.

He grabbed a couple pairs of pants and a couple shirts as well as s couple pairs of shorts and handed them to thirteen. Kid, the dressing rooms are over there, go try those on, if they fit will just go ahead and get them if not well you get to try some more on.

Xavier also grabbed some things and tried them on.

[Language unknown: "Llreta ardainant voranyble ers eisa'asai a ratut latei oun."] Cerise quips. "I'm sure, if you like, you could join us on our jewelry shopping adventure as well; perhaps some of the other men would like to as well; I believe it is generally Earth and Tirolian custom that such things are often given as gifts by men to those they are courting. Sillia, do they do that on Garudia as well?"

  With a shake of her head, "No we are more tribal and most our men make our jewelry then intend to give as a gift." We do not hold the value on the stones and metals the other cultures seem to." she replied to Cerise.

  Silas - "and what type of shirts would you prefer to wear?" she ask Silas.

  I did not know you could speak my native language Cerise,

@Sillia something that isn't so damn itchy would be nice.

"Perhaps you could simply buy a chain-filigree shirt with embedded rubies and satisfy all of the requirements at once! It could tinkle musically wherever you go." Cerise laughs lightly.

  Sillia gives a gentle laugh at Cerise commits. "Indeed a musical genkle would be entertaining."

I don't think that would be very appropriate to wear on the gambit he said looking down at the shorts he currently had on.

It might be out of my price range, but why not give it a try. He said with a large smile across his face.

  Aravae looks confused at the Shirt remarks but smiled trying to hide the fact. She chose to wear the last outfit Sillia had handed her to try on. It reminded her of home which she was missing now that she felt alone. She secretly hoped this would help turn Thirteens eyes in the way she desired. There was something about him she really like. And despite their species being different she was wanted to be with him all the time.


Aravae Outfit, minus the slot for her tail to go through so as to make the skirt not rise up.
 

  GM Note: Sadly I suck with photoshop. Also if there is some pictures you guys would like to add let me know so your outfits and be shown if you desire.

@ Silas - "Stop being such a girly man. If cotten is not something you like try the Silk shirts."

  @ Aravae - "Thats such a cute outfit Aravae. It looks really good on you. Now you just need a bit of jewerly to go with it."

 Cerise - "I think we should get the boys but not to manipulate them into thinking to buy us trinkets. I would rather have Kaarle buy me something special because he chooses to." She says to Cerise, with shy smile.

"I wasn't thinking manipulation, merely exposing them to the wares, that they might have the opportunity to witness the nice things. If they have a mind to buy one for someone, that is up to them."

 Michelle giggles at Cerise's reply. "You are not accustom to human mating rituals. Girls drag boys to jewelry shops when they want them to propose to them for marriage. Silly." She blushes at the thought of Kaarle getting down on one knee. But mostly she just wanted to get back to him quickly.
  She to decided to wear a new outfit which she thought looked good, complement Aravae without copying her to far. And she hoped it would please Kaarle. It was as close to lavender that she could find.

 

"Ah, hmm, I see. That motive would, indeed, be manipulative. Perhaps it would be better not to ask them to come along after all? I'll leave that sort of calculation up to you all. Clearly I'm not qualified!"

  @ Thirteen, Xavier and Any of the Boys that followed - The two young female clerks (late teens) in the shop, laugh as they watch Xavier tossing cloths in Thirteens direction. "If you like some help we be more then happy to assist you in finding some suitable attire."
