Fleur shook his head. "I don't think so - decorative scarves are short and shouldn't get in the way of her wings," he assured Chath. "And this place has a lot of pretty blue ones~" Fleur beamed and looked up when they reached the store. "Here we are!" The scarves he mentioned were the first things they saw when they entered, made of silk, satin, cotton, and many other materials, some see-through and some not. With the scarves were some pretty hats, a few with broad, decorative feathers adorning them. The jewelry was further in, but Fleur stopped to look at the scarves first, estimating these were more in Chath's price range.
Argent turned with Fleur to enter the store, her nose still in the air. She liked to think she was smarter than to fall for a little flattery after he had been so rude already. I don't know about when I'm not around, but it's certainly brighter when you're not, she huffed, not caring that she was being rude too - as childish an excuse as it was, he started it.

He nodded his head again, still feeling out of place in this store though he tried to remain attentive while they looked at the scarves. There were so many styles and colors...his head spun. How was he suppose to narrow it down?
"um...so, do you think she might like a see through one? or perhaps this one with..beads on it?" he asked picking up a scarf that was a bit heavier, and gradiated from a light blue to dark, small irrdescent beads threaded through the bottom. He really had no idea..
Keir was not in the least offended in fact he took her comment as a compliment. I am a black dragon, I drain the sun raise turning the world into a dark and dreary place, and will turn the world to ash someday. He boasted with a flare of his wings.

Fleur's deep blue eyes lit up when Chath picked out the scarf, and he squealed, "That one's gorgeous! I'm sure she'd love that one!" He held up a pale lavender, solid scarf which was woven with intricate silver and gold thread in the designs of flowers and butterflies, the wings of the butterflies studded with iridescent sequins. "This one's pretty too, but if she wears a lot of blue, that one you picked out might look better." Fleur nodded, debating buying the purple one for himself if Chath did not get it.
Argent's eye twitched faintly when she realized her mistake before huffing, trying to counter the unwitting compliment. And what would happen to your boy with no sunlight and nothing but ash all around him? Or do you not care for him at all?

Chath couldn't believe his luck as Fleur praised the scarf he picked out. He felt a bit embarrassed and yet kept the scarf close to him. "You really think she would like it?" he asked knowing full well this was an unfair question to ask since Fleur had never met the snowy owl girl.
He looked to the purple scarf that Fleur seemed to be gawking over and shook his head, no that one didn't suit Ligeia.
"That would look nice on you." He chimed trying to keep the shopping pleasant. It was really nice of her to help him.
Keir puffed his chest up in pride and for the first time in history complimented Chath.
He adapts easily to most situations, so as long as there is water he will be great. He boasted, knowing full well that if Chath could put up with him he could adapt to anything.

Fleur nodded, beaming. "It's pretty!" he agreed. "I can't imagine why she wouldn't like it." Fleur blushed under his black fur at Chath's compliment though it was only visible under the white V on his face. "You think so?" he asked, wrapping the purple scarf around his neck to compare it to his new clothes. A scarf or even a bag would be perfect to compliment it...but he was getting ahead of himself - he was here to help Chath!
"How much is that?" he asked, looking for a price tag on the blue scarf. "Maybe you can get a purse or a pretty bracelet to go with it!"
Argent rolled her eyes. And how will there be water with the world turned into ash? She shook her head and gave Fleur an exasperated look at his constant squeaks of excitement. She sometimes wondered if he got excited over anything purple and made a mental note to try it with a purple beetle sometime.

Chath looked over the scarf and finally found the price tag. It was more expensive that he had orignally thought, but then again he had no idea if this ws a good or bad price for a scarf. He could afford it though. A bracelet would be a good idea as well.
"Um it isn't too expensive, I think a bracelet is a good idea too." He stated with a nod of his head. He caculated he should have enough for both items. He watched as Fleur put inthe scarf and wondered if all girls...wiat no..he already knew the answer to that question. Z didn't care much about clothes at all...
The black dragon snorted at her comment as if thinking she was stupid. YOu can't turn water to ash darling, I cannot breath fire so water would be perfectly fine in my new world. he continued with swish of his tail.

"There are some really pretty bracelets over here with the necklaces," Fleur stated, going over to the jewelry counter to look at the bracelets and compare them to the scarf. He found a very pretty silver tennis bracelet with a large blue topaz in the center and flanked by peridots, but it was very expensive, so he looked for others similar as well as necklaces, determined to help Chath find the perfect one.
Argent shook her head. And if you can't breathe fire, then how do you expect to turn the world to ash in the first place? She yawned and slid down over the floor lazily, using her front claws as a cushion for her head as if bored with the conversation though she never let Fleur out of her sight.

Chath followed Fleur like a duckling. He really had no idea what was best, and just pretended to know what he was looking for while he shopped with Fleur. he was relying on Fleur's girlish instincts to help him out on this one.
"That is pretty." he commented on the expensive looking bracelet Fleur had been gazing at. One look at the price though and his head swam.
"Though maybe a bit too much." He added hastily.
Keir looked at the Silver again like she was moronic. Acid burns things and thus will turns things to ash eventually my dear. he commented smugely .

Fleur tilted his head and twitched his ears before offering, "I could pay for it!" He smiled. He was sorely tempted to get himself something to go with the purple scarf anyway, and Stevie honestly did not care what he spent his money on as long as it was not candy or anything else bad for him. He had plenty of money to spend and certainly did not mind paying for things for other people. "Then you could get some pretty flowers or something too!"
Acid melts everything and leaves nothing but smoke, and your boy would still need food even if he has water. Argent gave an exaggerated yawn and forced herself to stand back up to keep up with her own bouncing boy/girl-wannabe.

Eh??? The surprised look on Chath gave away his calmish manner. "Uh no no you don't need to offer!" he quickly added, " I can afford it, I am just..." Er...he stopped for a moment and then looked back at the bracelet. It was really pretty. And would look really nice on Ligeia.
"She isn't my girlfriend.." He added un-needingly. It was like he was trying to come up with a reason to not buy it. "I don't want...her..to mistake.." he continued with a stutter. Ah...how did he feel about Ligeia? She was older than him....was that okay? He hadn't really hadn't thought much about girls in that way.
He then sighed and seemed to wilt a bit. "I will take the bracelet." he instructed to the clerk behind the jewelry counter.
Keir got up to follow behind Argent, before taking a couple strides to come up beside her. I guess I could leave part of the world un-ashed. He commented as if not wanting common sense to come into his dream.

Fleur beamed, happy. "It's okay - I love shopping, and if I can buy stuff for other people, that's even better!" he stated with a nod then put his purple scarf on the counter as well. "I'm paying for the bracelet and this and this hair clip for me." He pointed to a silver, butterfly-shaped hair clip studded with sapphires and got out Stevie's credit card. Thankfully, this store was used to him and knew he had full consent from his guardian to use the card, else they might have been leery of a 12-year-old paying that way.
I should hope so. Argent hid an amused look, satisfied she had won the argument, and hopped up on her back feet to see what else her boy was wasting his money on. She looked crestfallen at the hair clip and began wondering just how far Fleur was going to go to look like a girl...or if he even realized what he was doing. She knew Chath must think he was a she.

Chath was embarrassed he couldn't let this girl pay for him! he jsut met her!
"no no it isn't a problem. I can pay for my items myself." he explained hastily trying to move his items aside so that Fleur didn't end up charing the items to the visa card.
"Cause ..it would be like you were getting the gift for her instead of me." he continued trying not to hurt the poor skunks feelings but he certainly wanted to get his point across.
As if picking up on the silver's thoughts the black gave a snickering half laugh. My boy is fairly oblivious...the gift he is buying is for a boy as well. though he thinks the boy is a girl....

"Aww." Fleur drooped a little, but he supposed he should not be pushy about it. If Chath really did not want him to pay for it, that was his right, and he did have a point. "Okay." He made sure to get himself the scarf and hair clip though, perking up again when he thought of how pretty the butterflies would be in his white hair. "Did you need to pick out anything else?" he asked. He could think of many things to go with the ensemble - flowers, chocolate...but that was up to Chath, and the bracelet was expensive. Maybe he would let Fleur at least pay for some flowers if he wanted to get some?
Argent let out an exasperated sigh, actually thankful the black dragon was not as easily fooled as his boy. She was beginning to wonder if Fleur's appearance really was that convincing. It can be very frustrating, she admitted. I honestly don't know why he's dressing this way lately. Sure, she was high on looks and vanity and certainly appreciated how pretty the things he picked out were, but...he was a he, and as far as she was concerned, he should act and dress like a he too!

Chath smiled at Fleur feeling a bit mean, but was glad that she didn't insist.
"Uh? anything else? I guess I could get it wrapped.." he stated looking at his purchase and knowing his allowance was going to be mighty thin for a while.
"Why don't we go for a treat instead? I will treat you to a strawberry tart, since you were so great in helping me." he offered trying to get them out of the store, having a sneaky feeling if they stayed any longer Fleur would keep buying things.
The black gave a draconic laugh. Imagine having to deal with a child who is so oblivious to the obvious it hurts to watch him... He sighed, he needed to to learn human faster...but then it only served his boy right. If he couldn't figure it out on his own then he deserved to be deceived.

"Oh, that would be good too!" Fleur squeaked, spirits instantly lifted again. He was actually thinking of going to the donut shop nearby after shopping anyway, so this was just perfect. He paused quickly to thank the cashier and put his pretty new hair clip in his hair just next to one ear before beaming at Chath, assuming he had a place in particular in mind.
Argent sighed again. I sometimes wonder if Fleur is like that. No common sense at all. She shook her head. And he's starting to develop this very strange obsession with other people's tails... She was afraid he was going to be slapped for it one day, but she could not very well warn him when she still could not speak his language yet.
