    [Dana's Place]

    Dana stands up for crouching behind the counter to clean up some spilled ice cream to see Aiden standing there. "Oh." She shifts awkwardly from foot to foot before settling for leaning against the counter. "Hi Aiden. It's... been a while. How're things?"

    Dana's Place

    Aiden sighs and runs a hand through his hair. The dark circles under his eyes are more apparent than they ever were. "Hi Dana. Good to see you again." He considers the answer to that question for a moment. What was a decent answer to sum up "I'm working myself half to death out of stubbornness and I want to go home?"

    "Things are good. You?" He sits at the counter after a bit of hesitation.

    "You know, same old same old. Keeping busy." Probably too busy, as usual. She and Aiden have that in common. "Lily and Michael are doing great, by the way." She scratches the back of her head. "We're thinking about moving, actually. My place hasn't stopped being too tight for three people. I've been shopping around. Even went to a couple open houses."

    "That's good to hear," Aiden says, cracking a smile at the news of Dana's children. "Yeah? Good luck there, I have no clue how the housing market is in Inside. Maybe I should, I'd like to at least have a place with a bedroom." He sighs again. "Business going okay? I know it's the slow season for you, but there's definitely some people that are way too into ice cream."

    "I'm thinking we want to stay in Riverside, but it'd be easier to not have to commute. I've been keeping my options open. It's just a matter of finding the right price for a reasonable price." Dana shrugs, as if it hasn't been a bit overwhelming. Maybe she'd share that, but she's not really comfortable getting into that kind of personal conversation since they split up. "There's always people that want ice cream, that's for sure. I'm not hurting. It's nice that things are slower when I've got so much else going on, anyway."

    "I moved. I'm over in the Blue Zone now. It's a lot of why I haven't visited in a long time." Aiden's life since he opened up out of Mallside has been "wake up, go to work, go home, sleep, repeat." "I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss parts of Mallside, though."

    "No, duh. I knew that." Dana slaps her forehead. Still, they really have been out of touch, haven't they? It's still more than any of her other past boyfriends, though, so that's something. "Sorry, I'm just a bit more brain dead today than I thought."

    Arlem smiles lightly at the pokemon. She'll understand eventually. Hopefully soon, or she's going to be abusing her powers moderately in connection.
    Melina looks thoughtful as she contemplates Arlem's statements.

    Felina finally finds a coat she doesn't hate! It's black... or maybe really dark gray - you know how odd store lighting can be. It's puffy but not insane, and has a light quilting stitch in a simple small block pattern that breaks up the expanse of material. It has black faux-fur trim on the collar, cuffs, and hem that gives it a more sophisticated look, and just a tiny bit of elastic to keep it from looking like a tent.

    Felina puts it on and contemplates herself in the mirror.

    Always looks better in the store.

    Arlem steps back and contemplates her outside the mirror. Leah would love this coat, but he, well, at least it has that trim. He steps up to put an arm around Felina and look into the mirror.
    "You look good in it."
    Completely true, if unrelated to the coat itself.

    True, true.

    Felina smiles

    Thank you, darling. Ok, Ill take this one.

    Melina chuckles

    <Finally!>

    Felina takes her selections up to the counter and gets them rung up. It's really not all that expensive

    Remember that she has her own worries, Melina.

    And they get out of that silly place. Perhaps there is something to Felina being excessively thrifty.

    "You aren't going to need some poke'coat to not freeze out there, or are you?"
    If you though finding Maternity clothes was bad - look how many different shapes Pokemon have.

    Melina frowns at that

    <Ugh. Maybe I'll just camp out in the Flareon's environment - I'm sure he won't mind.>

    Felina giggles

    Maybe we should get her a necklace or bracelet or something like that enchanted with a warming spell.

    Melina scowls

    <Of course not.>

    Felina smiles

    She has always been fiercely independent, Arlem dear. I imagine it will take some time for her to come around to not automatically trying to do everything on her own.

    Come on, this is Mallside: throw a brick and you'll hit a magic-item store. I can't imagine it will be that difficult to find something.


    Melina grouses a bit, but can't really argue.

    "If she weren't, we could hardly tease her about it."

    Arlem smiles and points out the Bizarre Bazaar.

    "But actually let's not go to that one. You can probably get a warming enchantment form one of these little stands."

    Felina looks around at the knick-knack kiosks.

    Hm...

    But Melina is now curious about the Bizzare Bazaar, and drifts over that way.

    "You know, I'm not sure she has wrists right now...better be a necklace or a hat or something."

    "Hey, like this."
    Arlem lifts up a red crocheted hat with a big puff-ball on the top. Enchanted to keep one warm when just a hat is not enough.

    Melina would doubtless also find what she's looking for in the spooky ethereal store. Might be liable to walk out with a bunch of unrelated knick-knacks, too.

    Oh my goodness, that looks ridiculous!

    But yes... bracelets don't look like they would work. Or rings, for that matter. What about a scarf?


    She pulls out a plaid scarf... and pulls, and pulls...

    Oh... how long is this?

    "I guess it does."

    Is there really that much call for giraffe scarves?

    She puts that one down and fishes through the pile for ends with tags on them

    Meanwhile...

    Melina drifts into the Bizzare Bazaar and looks around

    It's probably not every day that a Gardevoir drifts into the shop unattended, but today it happens.

    Melina looks around curiously, not lingering near the door.


    [Mallside]

    Felina looks the scarf over

    It's nice and light, and the color should go well with her green.

    She turns to where she thought Melina would be

    What do you think... Mel... ?

    she looks around

    Where'd she go?

    A book has appeared here. It's large, very thick, and bound in black leather. It doesn't appear to have a title on the spine or front cover, or indeed any way of determining which cover is the front and which the back. It's just lying here, waiting for somebody to come and find it.
