Who: LuLu and Alexandria
When: Afternoon
Where: Craft store
Weather: Slight chill
LuLu had followed Samuel's request for the most part. She spent the majority of her day at his home, safely tucked away from the world. However, the rabbit could only handle seeing the same scenery for so long before she started to develop cabin fever. A outing was required now and then for her to keep her sanity intact. When she left his home, she made sure to avoid her usual places. She also made sure not to visit Joshua or Selene.
Today's adventure away from Samuel's abode was prompted by a much needed restock on her food supply. The mansion was sorely devoid of creativity. Though Samuel had tried his best to remedy this, it was still not enough. Given her injuries, the girl was needing to supplement her diet with ink. She had polished off her last vial that morning, and Lu had decided it was a good time to explore the surrounding area.
That is how she came upon a small craft store. It looked cozy in a way that reminded LuLu of the cafes she enjoyed the most. She entered and a small bell tolled above her. The sigel followed her instincts as they directed her on a course towards the ink.

Alexa thanked her lucky stars that she was on the floor today. While there was a chilly bite in the air outside, it was still too bright for her to be comfortable at the front. It was considered rude and outside of uniform to wear her sunglasses, so it was a huge relief to be away from the windows.
Her shift was about half over by the time she had neared the ink supplies, herself, and soon she would need to go on break. The girl was exhausted and hungry, and her aching feet begged to rest. Still, she had a few more minutes to go, and a couple more isles to go down, cleaning and front facing each product.
"Woof..." Alexa sighed upon standing from her crouched position, a couple of misplaced inkwells in her hand. She never understood why people would just grab things and move them around, but she supposed it gave her work to do so she couldn't complain too much. Still, they had to be put away before she could clock out, so she rounded the corner to the isle where Lulu happened to be hiding.
Just like the first two times she had encountered a new Raevan, Alexa stopped immediately upon the sight and grinned. Again, another gorgeous girl... how had she only met girls so far?
Approaching, she noticed the open inkwell in Lulu's hands and sighed. "E-excuse me, miss...? We don't allow the products to be opened before purchase..." More than anything, she didn't want to anger or disappoint the long eared beauty, so Alexa put on her best smile. "Is there something special you need it for? We have a wide arrangement of colors if that interests you!"

Sure enough, LuLu was bent over an opened vial of ink. A pink one to be precise. Most likely to Alexa's confusion, one of the sigel's manicured fingers was submerged in the small bottle. She swirled the digit around before withdrawing it from the container and popping it between her pursed lips. LuLu froze in place when she heard Alexa's footsteps approach and the woman call out to her. The rabbit's head turned around to face the human. Her amethyst eyes were wide in surprise much like a child who had been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. LuLu then noticed her finger was still tucked into her mouth awkwardly. She quickly pulled her hand away and stated woefully, "I could not help myself. It looked so good." For a brief moment, her tattoos radiated with a warm pink flush that was similar to the color of the ink she had consumed. Her ears perked at Alexa's offer. "Bright colors taste the best. I have had a lot of those before though. Do you have anything special?"

Lulu's sincere surprise and earnest reply made Alexa laugh softly, and she covered her mouth quickly. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to be rude," she recovered. She took a quick peek around the corners to assure it was just them, and she smiled brightly. "Gimme just a second to clock out! Would you wanna... er... 'eat' together? If that's not a strange request?"
The change in the Sigel's tattoos had the albino girl's eyes widen in awe, and surprisingly enough, her smile somehow got bigger. Alexa nodded eagerly at Lulu's questioning and motioned for her to stay there for just a moment. After quickly running to clock out, the woman returned - slightly out of breath - to silently request for her to follow.
"We have some amazingly pigmented inks... Do you like glitter in them? We recently got some super pretty calligraphy inks!" Before softly grabbing the opened pot for Lulu's hand, Alexa held her finger to her lips and closed it before handing it back. "I'll pay for this for you, but you have to wait a bit... Can't walk around the store with it obviously open!"

LuLu noticed Alexa glancing around shiftily. The rabbit's lavender eyes also trailed along the aisle. They were the only ones there, for now. Her head quirked at the other girl. She wanted to eat with her? The sigel asked curiously, "You eat ink, too?" Her gaze went down to the bottle in her hands and she offered it to Alexa. "Sure."She followed the human towards another section of inks. The girl's attention was immediately drawn in by the gilt labels and sparkling contents of the vials. They were pricier compared to her usual fare. But, these inks were certainly on another level. LuLu chimed brightly, "Gorgeous!" The other vial of pink ink was left forgotten in Alexa's grasp.

"What...? Oh! Oh goodness, no!" Alexa laughed softly, sincerely amused at the confusion. "I'm afraid most humans can't digest that stuff... I just mean we eat at the same time!"
The girl lit up as Lulu seemed excited by the new inks, and she knelt down to reach for one, herself. Alexa offered a glittery sky blue vial to the Sigel with a wide smile. "This one's my favorite! I've bought most of these at some point, but this one looks so beautiful on paper! I can only imagine how it'd look on your skin!" She glanced around once more before quickly opening the pot for Lulu to stick her finger in. "...Take a quick taste... if you don't like it, I can just buy it to use at home!"

LuLu inspected the vial that was offered to her more closely. Upon further examination, the rabbit could clearly see the countless flecks of glitter loaded into the stunning blue ink. It almost gave the liquid a metallic appearance. Alexa did not need to say another word. The sigel immediately took her up on her offer and dipped a finger into the jar. She brought it to her lips and sampled the taste. LuLu emitted a dreamy sigh the instant it touched her tongue. She gasped, "It is wonderful." She went in for a second taste and it was followed by yet another euphoric sigh. Sure enough, the golden hue around her eye slowly transitioned to blue and took on a slick sheen as though the ink was just on the surface of her skin. She nodded at the human, "We can have lunch together. Where do you eat?" The rabbit was eager to finish off the rest of the vial.

Pure delight crossed Alexa's features as Lulu seemed to enjoy it, even going back for seconds! She took another quick glance around before allowing one more taste before closing the vial and motioning towards the others. "Please! Pick another color, then we can go to the front and check out! It's too sunny for me today so I need to stay inside... but I did bring my own lunch! I'm sure my boss wouldn't mind me eating at the craft table if no one's there!"
The woman was beyond excited as she assisted the Sigel to the front - she was checked out quickly and given the employee discount, though there was no issue in money at all. She was quick to jump back to Lulu's side, eagerly handing over the paper bag full of ink with a bright smile.
"I'll have to run upstairs to get my lunch, but I'll take you to the tables! They're right in front of the stairs anyway!" Alexa practically sang as she led Lulu towards the back of the store. She wasn't her first Raevan to meet, but no matter what, it put the woman in the best mood when she was able to at all. Her gate was quick and hoppy, practically beaming the entire way. Once they had approached the crafting area, she motioned vaguely at the tables. "You can sit anywhere! I'll be down in just a few seconds!"

When prompted, LuLu chose another vial to accompany the blue. The rabbit settled on a glistening cherry red after a moment of thought. She followed the human to the checkout counter and then to the crafting tables so they could share their lunch together. The sigel tooks a seat closest to the various completed projects. Most of them were only display models that likely had been made long ago. However, a few items were still brimming with creative energy. LuLu considered it a light appetizer as she waited for the girl to return from upstairs. As Alexa approached, LuLu patted the seat next to her and beckoned the other to join her. The rabbit smiled, "Thank you for lunch." She continued, "I never got your name. I am LuLu."
She glanced at the girl's lunchbox as she started to unpack her own meal from the shop's brown paper bag.
