“I think clothing first, since we’re here, then bedding and toys!” Trin said, smiling brightly. Her fluffy tail gave a small swish as she looked around for a moment. These little clothes were kinda cute!
Maddy looked down at Xana and grinned at him. He was so nice! She was happy he was here, and paying attention to her. There was so much new to learn as well!

"Clothing is probably the best part for us mothers," Cressida agreed cheerfully. "And having a little girl is even better. I hate to admit it but there are so many more adorable things for them."
"Meme doesn't like clothing." Quixana even managed to sound polite when interrupting.
"True enough." Cressida smiled at Trinity. "My daughter, Anemone. She's the original nudist. Of course, it probably bothers her fins to cover them."
Xana dragged his hands down his front, attention up at Madison. "Here," he explained. "Meme has fins here. An' she has Terror."
Terror is like us, Courage informed Melo.

Melo bobbed his head in understanding. So the other person they mentioned was another Forgotten.
“I haven’t figured out yet,” Trin admitted sheepishly. “Do you know how to sew? Maybe she just needs the right kind of clothing,” she then suggested.

Cressida looked sheepish, blushing fetchingly. "I never thought of that. I do know how to sew, of course. I just never... Huh."
Politely ignoring his mother's moment of less-than-perfection, Xana again touched Madison's foot gently to get her attention. "I like your coat," he offered. "Your mommy should get dresses that color."

Maddy beamed at Xana now, pulling at her coat just a little more, so that he could see it better. She liked this coat a lot! It kept her warm, as well. It was already noted in the child’s mind that she enjoyed warm things over cold. But then, who didn’t?
Trinity giggled at her new friend, “It’s alright! I think of odd things like that, I guess. We could pick up some material and patterns for you to make her some clothes with, as well. Then both of our girls can dress up nicely,” she smiled. The real question was, would Anna even like to wear them?

"It would be a minor miracle if my little Naiad kept a dress on." Cressida laughed, though, and shook her head. Clearly she was more amused by the situation than perturbed. Motioning, she indicated that the others should follow her as she lead the way towards dresses galore.
Xana set his hand on the cart and kept pace with it, walking fast on his little legs. He smiled, though. "Your mommy can dress you up like a princess," he suggested. At Courage's nudge to his shoulder, he sighed and added, "But you wanna get some pants, too. Hard to play in skirts, I bet."

Maddy blinked at him, tilting her head. Well, she only had her pants and she didn’t know how good a dress was, so, she’d give it a shot! Another little charming smile went on her face as she tried to see where they were headed. Then she went to lean over the cart, awarding Xana with some pats on the head and a happy laugh. He was so wonderful!
“Having pants to play in sounds like a really good idea, thank you!” Trinity told the boy, grinning at him as well. Dresses! She remembered all the things her parents, grandparents and great grandparents would dress her up in. Some things she wished the photos of would just burn away, but she said nothing to this.
“And she may not, after so long of running free,” she added to the conversation of the nudist child. It was funny to think of.

"I think it's certainly worth a try, though, don't you? She's too lovely to never let out of the house." Cressida drew to a halt at one of the racks of clothing and began pulling various things off and holding them up, one after the other. When Trinity nodded, the item was tossed into the cart. If she didn't show any kind of approval, Cressida carefully hung it back on the rack.
Xana watched the adults for a moment, allowing Madison to pat his head all she liked. Idly, his tail switched, indicating deep thought. After a few moments, he glanced at Courage. She regarded him back with mild interest. Then he looked up at Maddy and Melo. "Maddy?" he asked. "What's Melo? He's kinda not an animal."
Quixana, that's not exactly...
Contrite as soon as Courage started her correction, Xana smiled. "He's neat, though. All bright and shiney. Meme would probably love him."

Maddy regarded Xana a moment, curiously. Well of course Melo wasn’t an animal… he lacked the legs and things! But he was cute. When Xana stated how neat, shiny, and how this Meme person would love him, she cheered up. He was forgiven for mistaking Melo!
Melo was currently ignoring them as he looked around the store. There were so many eatable things here! He glanced at the kids and, on seeing them focused on him (not to mention feeling that from Maddy), he decided not to move yet.
“It would be good for her to meet others too. I could possibly help sew some things for your girl,” Trinity offered, hoping she wasn’t over stepping her bounds. She was in need for a new hobby. Though, as things were, Maddy might fill that void. Then again, Maddy was going to fill that void.

"Oh, that would be fun." Cressida beamed as she held up a little blue sundress. "I haven't had a friend to sew with in, oh, decades!" This could have been exaggeration except the brunette seemed terribly forthright about it.
Quixana reached up to wind his fingers through Madison's and grinned. "Okay. So Melo's a Melo," he announced, decided. "And my Mommy likes your Mommy. So we can play together. If you want to?"

Maddy beamed at Xana, giving a most entertained laugh at this promise of play. She could play with someone her own size (sort of) and not this tiny doll thing that enjoyed yelling at her. Bav was a real meanie.
Seeing his chance, Melo floated over to the closest rack of clothes he could get to that the adults weren’t at. Once at the right, tastiest piece of cloth he could find, he took a seat. Melo, being a blue ball of flame, started to eat the cloth. Unfortunately that eating equaled burning the said object.
Trin’s attention was brought to this problem the moment someone else gave a startled cry of fire. Her head whipped around to where her baby and daemon were. In her own home, Bavaria – the little feien – had been the one to cry this, alerting her to Melodious’ hunger.
Sure enough, there was the puff of flame, setting a blaze to a portion of clothing. “Melo!!” Trin immediately moved to the fire to get him off it and put out the fire. She was getting well acquainted to small area, oxygen-depriving spells. Ones that were useful in putting out fires.

Quixana stared with round, brown eyes. Then he pointed. "Melo!" he called. "That's naughty!"
If a lion could roll her eyes, that was exactly what Courage was doing as she took the more direct route and padded over to the afflicted clothing rack. Reaching up a paw, she gently batted Melo downwards to eye-level and blinked at him solemnly. That's not a good thing to do, Melodious, she said carefully. You'll upset Trinity and that will affect Madison, too. You have to snack at appropriate times.
"... Does he do that often?" Cressida asked, head tilted.

“Only when he decides he’s hungry,” Trinity said, checking to make sure she got everything. Then, with a resigned sigh, she started to pick the damaged ones up. She’d pay for them and hopefully not get kicked out of the store.
Shopping lesson number one: Feed Melo before going shopping.
Melo, being caught by the young lioness daemon, pouted. The glassy, purple eyes became huge with the teal colored flames that served as eyebrows slanted back making him look like a pitiful, and deeply saddened, ball of blue flame. He was just hungry...
Maddy was in her own frowning world. She was just about to laugh and giggle over what Melo was doing. However, the moment Xana yelled at him, and called him naughty, made her stop. Melo was doing something wrong? But she liked see things go up in pretty colors!
If only Trin knew her baby’s thoughts….

"So that's how he eats." Cressida helped Trinity remove the damaged items from the rack and she smiled faintly, bemused. "And I thought having a lion and a lizard thing was difficult."
And there's no need to yell, Quixana. Courage gently batted Melo again but it was affectionate this time. He's hungry.
"Oh." Looking chastened, Quixana dug in his pockets as he stepped closer to the other daemon. "Um, sorry." He frowned a bit. Finally, he pulled out a minature handkerchief and held it out. "You can eat this if you wanna," he offered by way of peace bargainning. "Daddy makes me have it but I don't use it and... Yeah."
