Shop 'Till You Drop! [SO VERY OPEN]

[starlightace]

It was nice to be out on solid ground, to breathe fresh and salt-tinged air, and to feel the real warmth of the sun on her neck and shoulders, Nanoha thought. She felt a very deep urge welling up within her breast to just take flight, to soar through an actual sky in the first time in months - and she had no doubt that she would.

But there were other things she had to take care of first. Like, for instance, swimsuit shopping with her best friend.

"Ooh, this store looks like it might have some cute ones!" Nanoha tugged on Fate's hand, pulling her towards one of the storefronts that lined this street of the bustling shopping district. Even if it didn't, there were still plenty of others to try, and plenty of cute outfits to convince Fate to try on.

Katara smiled to herself, shaking her head. Didn't he realize that she was going to wear it, that it wasn't the issue of wearing the clothing? She wanted to know how it looked, how it corresponded. In a way, it was part of wearing that look, owning it. But Jamie didn't get that at all.

But maybe that wasn't such a big deal.

She gave him a pouty look. "Detail always helps," she said. "Of course selecting it is important, but you can get creative too. This is dressing someone else, its sorta fun!"

But in a way, it was more fun just talking with him about it: she liked the clothing and she thought Jamie had a great eye. It would just be nice to get more, that's all.

"Thanks Jamie," she said finally. "You have good taste. It's a really nice outfit. Did you do this often?"

It's true - he doesn't get that at all. Clothes shopping is a mystery to him on quite a few levels. He had only gone along with the idea of picking out an outfit because Katara had managed to trigger some of what could be called his 'male pride'.

Jamie looked at the outfit again, head tilting slightly as he considers it. He thinks she has a strange definition of fun, but the more he looks at the outfit, the more he believes it really does suit her.

Still, he shakes his head at her question. "Och, no. I told ye I'd not done this before." He meant it, as well. There was absolutely no reason for him not to tell the truth, in this case. "I just thought the blue would suit ye."

"I know I put you on the spot with this," Katara said, "and I know that you probably have no idea what I'm talking about when I say its fun. We're different people, I get that. I'm just saying that its how I view things when it comes to the simple things we don't really get to do anymore."

She really did like it though, and told Jamie so by giving him a peck on the cheek. "It does," she said, grinning, "and I'm going to be more than happy to wear this on the ship. You're a natural at this!"

That prompts one of Jamie's crooked smiles, even though he shakes his head. "Och, go on wi' ye."

It seems he's found something she likes, and if that makes her happy, he's pleased enough with the outcome. But he still doesn't think he'd be up to finding anything else right now - partially because he's somehow managed to work up an appetite. That's a bit strange, considering he hasn't done anything but try on clothes. If he still had his watch, though, he would have realized it took quite a bit of time, even for just a few outfits.

"Look, I think I'm going to go pay for these and maybe get a wee bite to eat. Maybe I'll see ye a bit later?"

She smiled back. Actually, she'd agree with Jamie here: she'd done enough shopping for herself. She had started to plan on getting all of the GAang together to cook them a decent meal, and to do that she was going to have to muddle through the spices and the kinds of food that this planet had, and that was going to take a good amount of research.

"Sure, okay!" Katara said. "I actually have to get some shopping done for my friends and stuff too! I'll see you later then!"
