An Islander in The Modern World (Closed)

[AHSCA]

"Oh my lots of people. Probably be much more hectic than the village at Festival time so yes, I'll be sure to keep close to you. Just in case we do get separated maybe we should arrange a meeting point? Like when I was little and Granny and Grandpa took me to the festival we had a special place to meet if we all got separated."

Just in case we do get separated maybe we should arrange a meeting point? Like when I was little and Granny and Grandpa took me to the festival we had a special place to meet if we all got separated."

"Good point... Let me think an minute about it" she said thinking about where to meet in case they get separated. Where they could met back in case that happens??? That was an big question since she doesn't knows the city and the mall.

Maybe the electrical store on the third floor or the first store in where they will be... It's the best idea considering that she will know where it is.

"Maybe the first store we enter could serve, since you will know where it is and how to go there. Sounds good??"

[AHSCA]

"sounds like a good plan. It should be a small one so we can work that out along the way." Finishing up her tea "Well, Milady, our chariot must await to take us on an adventure around the kingdom~" she gleefully replied.

"sounds like a good plan. It should be a small one so we can work that out along the way." Finishing up her tea "Well, Milady, our chariot must await to take us on an adventure around the kingdom~" she gleefully replied.

"Indeed" Tess replied grinning at her as she took her girlfriend hand. "Please my beloved, follow me to our vehicle" she said to her leading her out of the manor to the outside in where they could find their vehicle.

They could see that it was just an normal vehicle which didn't screamed luxory or I'm better than you; it was just an normal vehicle for an normal family or person, which in this case was the latter. An black Peugeot 607, the same vehicle that they traveled yesterday.
Tess would be opening the door for Satou.

"My dear Satou, could you enter please??" she asked her taking her hand gently for help her to get to the car.

[AHSCA]

Walking arm in arm with her girlfriend they made way outside to the car. Tess asking her to enter she agreed "Certainly." Sliding on in to the car and getting buckled up, ready to set off for the day with her girlfriend. It was going to be a perfect day she imagined.

Once she entered to the car, Tess closed her girlfriend door and went to the driver seat for drive the car.

"Well. Let's move" she said to herself as the car begun to move, then she turned to the left to go en route to what was the New City of Asteria, they would need to cross the boulevard and then continue through the streets until they were in the commercial district of it.

This was going to be the best day for them today. On their way to the New City, Satou could see the streets full of people roaming through them, buses and vehicles passing through the streets to all directions, others enter to the Subway or underground of the city, etc.
But all of them were with decorations for the holidays since Christmas and New Year were close, and many people with gifts on their hands or about to buy them for their lovers, friends, family and childs. That was the beauty of winter at first glance here in Asteria.

"Hey sweetie, after we spend the day on the mall and we eat on the restaurant. How about we use what remains of our time before we go to sleep to dive in the pool??" she asked as the car stopped in an red light.

[AHSCA]

"A nice swim sounds like a great idea" Satou agreed lighting up at the sound. "I did bring my swimsuit after all, I gotta use it!" taking a look out the window "Everything is so festive and lively. So pretty how everything is decorated and made to look colorful and cheerful."

"Christmas times, we are on middle of the holidays and what's great is that it's the day of your birthday!!" Tess said grinning at the thought of it, she hoped that she could find an mistetloe on the mall for them to kiss under it.

Then after ten minutes and after the light was on green; the girls were on the mall.
Tess parked on the mall's parking and then led Satou to an elevator that took them to the floor level and in where they could see the crowds and crowds of people in the mall walking through it for the presents.

"Here we are. Jezebel Mall, one of the many mall's and commercial buildings of the city" she said placing her arms in Satou ones tight so she doesn't ends up lost on the crowd. "What is the first thing you need Sweetie??"

[AHSCA]

"A birthday that will be the best now that I'm getting to spend it with you." She set her hand on Tess' own hand as the car continued along arriving at the mall a while later. Going from parking down the shopping itself was already another mini adventure for this out of towner. What a trip riding in the elevator, though the vibrations of it felt unnevering considering the kind of cramped space but it wasnt so bad and was done in a flash. Next into the shopping center which was crowded with people, massive and expansive. It was amazing and unlike anything Satou had seen. She was used to small little shops lining a road and open air vendors. This was kind of like that, only all contained within one massive building. Satou feeling the eyes of passerby's staring at her, considering how she was dressed no wonder spoke up when Tess asked "Well perhaps I can find something to change so people don't stare at me. "

"Well considering that, I guess so since It's not so common to see Islanders here unless you come for study, tourism, etc" she explained to her as they walked to the electrical stairs.

Meanwhile they went up to the first floor, people saw and glared at the couple even if it was just an little, some didn't cared and others were surprised of see the daughter of one of Mervay's most important families dating.
Tess just sighed at the glares of people as she kept her hand locked with Satou's one.

Then they were now on the first floor in where she led her girlfriend to an store in where they selled night clothes, swimsuits and underwear.
They were recived by an girl who worked there and greeted the couple with an smile.

"Welcome. May I ask what you two are searching please??" the girl asked as Tess looked at Satou and asked her.

"Satou could you explain to the lady what you want to buy please??"

[AHSCA]

Satou felt more piercing stares from everyone around, boy she wasn't used to be the sight of so many people. Of course Tess must be drawing some looks given her family's notability, She'd learn to get used to is she supposed. Finding a shop together for clothes Satou was asked to explain to the clerk what she was looking for. "uuh ye-yes. I am looking for some winter clothes. Warm clothes that can be stylish and cute like her!" she pointed at Tess indicating she just wanted to look high class and, adorable and important as her. Something to say to the gawkers, yes she was her girl and was worthy of being it, class differences aside. "Maybe some..." She blushed a little, not really sure why she was maybe because this wasn't a fellow islander who got her or her customs. "Lingerie."

She blushed a little, not really sure why she was maybe because this wasn't a fellow islander who got her or her customs. "Lingerie."

The clerk laughed an little about Satou reaction, she wasn't used to see such reactions about people reacting like that when it came to underwear or lingerie.

"Hey don't need to be embarassed about asking about that, you are between girls. And hey I know how embarassing can be ask about our underwear in an store can be sometimes" she said smiling at her. "Now about the lingerie, I believe I can help you on that" she said searching for something cute and stylish.

It took some minutes before find what she was wanting. She gave to Satou first an light lacy blue nightgown which was simple and cute, then three bras and panties in different colors; the first was an lace pink one, the second was an lace white one and the last one was an lace purple one.

"So any opinions on this or shall we keep searching??"

[AHSCA]

Satou felt more at ease when the sales woman offered to help her and told her to relax a little. Getting a look at a few articles including a few gowns. Blue was nice so was white but pink was her favorite color and she really liked that one. "Yes the pink is for me, for sure!" She turned to Satou with a slight shrug and a grin "what can I say, I love pink a lot!" next some underewear that could keep her warm and cute looking. good time to be different so she went with the lace purple "Yes I rather like the purple. The lace is so classy looking and cute!"

"Alright then. I hand you over the purple underwear meanwhile I go and search for the pink version of the gown" the woman said leaving to search for it, meanwhile Tess looked at the blue version of the gown.

It could be good the change for her too, so she decided to take the blue gown now that she has the chance.
The woman returned an little later with the pink gown.

"Alright here it is the pink gown, do you need something else like socks???" she asked handing to Satou the gown.

[AHSCA]

"Ah yes, socks" She nodded "Gotta keep my feet warm after all. White or pink would be good." She admired the style of her newly picked underwear and the gown in the mirror. How cute she looked it made her cheeks glow with happiness especially imagining how Tess would look right next to her.

"Alright, pink socks on it's way" she said to Satou as Tess interrupted her saying that she wants the gown and now an lacy underwear.

"Excuse me miss, I will take the lacy blue nightgown and an lacy black underwear" she said to the woman as she nodded.

"On it Miss Dileva" she said leaving for search for them.

Meanwhile Tess looked at her girlfriend with an grin.

"You will look beautiful and cute on it. So do you like it??"

[AHSCA]

"I do! This is so cute and lovely, and you're gonna look so cute and lovely. This is so fun too, Tessy. Shopping with you and trying out these nice new clothes. So this is what it's like to shop with a girlfriend, it's just fun!" she twirled around to get a glance of herself form behind in the mirror. "Hehe at any angle it's cute and pretty."

[Mervay]

"It truly is" she said kissing her girlfriend meanwhile the sales woman returned with the socks, the gown and the underwear.

"Alright, that's all for you two" she said giving to both Satou and Tess as she gave them bags for their clothes.

Then she counted all costs of everything and it was. "It's 150 Albats for everything" she said as Tess hand her over the paid of her clothes before lean to Satou and ask her about the other half.

"Want me to pay it for you or will you pay it??" she asked whispering.

[AHSCA]

"Ah let me get this one." Reaching into her kimono pulling out a small pocket book which had her money in it. Getting the needed bills she had converted for her by the Mervay Embassy before leaving home she paid her share of the bill. "Thank you, Ma'am you've been very helpful" Satou bowed for the sales clerk and took her girlfriend's hand.

Tess saw Satou taking out money for pay her part of the bill; she was surprised about the amounts she has been able to save for this.

"It was an pleasure young lady. Miss Dileva, I wish you and your girlfriend an merry christmas and happy new year" she said to the girls as they leaved the store.

Now they needed the rest of the winter clothes, they would be needing to go to other store in where they could have everything they needed. Which was going to be easy with the stores being close to them and people don't ending up like in an black friday of the US.

"Alright we have the nightclothes, we now need the winter clothes and some shoes for it. Anything more you want to add sweetie??"

[AHSCA]

Taking the bags in one hand and Tess' hand in her other they proceeded on out the shop to their next destination. "I think once we have the clothes, new coat and shoes, we should be all set! I can't wait to see what else you have for me. The good thing is I can leave winter clothes behind for anytime I come here in winter. Good thing about being an adult and not a child, I probably don't have to worry about growing out of them" she laughed a little.

"Yup, that's the good side of it" she said laughing an little with her. "You would only need to bring the Kimono all times you travel meanwhile I take care of your clothes here for winter" she grinned.

They kept walking for some minutes before they were in their next store. This one was completely of female clothes and winter clothes without the night clothes of it; they were greeted by another sales woman which grinned at them.

"My, My, such beautiful and cute couple; may I ask what kind of clothes you two are searching??" she asked smiling.

"Sweetie what kind of clothes do you want here??"

[AHSCA]

Satou thought a moment "mmm well I'd say pants. Any kind, denim, khaki. Maybe a long skirt or a serafuku - that is - sailor style suit with long sleeves and long skirt. An over jacket and heavy winter coat." She hoped she wasn't going overboard here. "Tops of course...Eheh...Anything okay really just some good for winter and some good for indoors."

"Alright let me see what can I give you in that area then" the woman said leaving to see if they have all what Satou requested.

"Khaki pants... Ahh here" she said grabbing two of those in white and black; then she went to search for the serafuku which if she remembered, they got an shipment from Kuronami three days ago because of holidays.

But before continue with the search she went and showed her the two khaki pants before sigh.

"My apologies if I'm taking long on this, but I'm searching for the serafuku since we got an shipment from Kuronami three days ago exclusively of that type of clothes. But taking out that for an second, the winter coat, do you want an normal and warm coat or an fluffy and warm one??"

[AHSCA]

Satou took the pants giving them an examination they were nice looked like they'd fit her and be soft. "Please please, take your time. I'll just try these on and see how they look. For a coat, I'm thinking fluffy warm one. Although" She turned to Tess to see her opinion "I know not exactly a seasonal kind of coat but I did pack my raincoat out of habit. Fisherman kind..Just worried this is getting expensive for us."
