"Okay, if you say so..." The fox frowned softly, still feeling rather guilty. She picked up the bag she'd put down, holding it against her with one arm and holding out her free hand for Lonan to shake. "The name's Shauna. Might as well know the name of your attacker for future lawsuits, right?" Clearly she was joking, but it was still kind of cute...you had to admit, that was a clever one.
"You new around here? I've never seen you here before..." She clutched her bag tightly, being slightly distracted by the scars on his body. What? She couldn't help it! The boy had no shirt!

"Hmm? Oh, Lonan." He was not much of one for talking.
Making sure to get his bearings he looked to where he thought she was. It was a bit hard to pinpoint exactly with all the other noises but it still worked. "You could say that. Why do you ask?" Words were spoken softly but seemed to carry to the intended recipient.

"Lonan? That's a nice name!" The fox smiled brightly, her tail swishing back and forth behind her. Oh, how she loved meeting new people...but it'd be nice if she could meet more people her age like Vidya. Shauna blinked a bit, noticing that Lonan kept looking around as if he were in search of something...well, she couldn't exactly say she knew Gambino as well as her mother...but she knew it well enough to get around! "Looking for something? ...Why? Oh, just curious!" It wasn't rude of her to have asked, right? It was a simple question!

"Just trying to remember how to get to a store where I can get bedding." The store was only a few fronts away but not like that helped Lonan, he couldn't see the sign.

Hm...a store that sold bedding...? Oh! Momma had taken her to that store before! "Oh! Well why didn't you say so? I can take you there! I needed some recently too since I grew up awhile ago, I can't share my momma's bed anymore, so I got to have my own now!" Shauna explained as they walked, although Lonan probably didn't care, did he? It was just random information. This girl could be so nosy sometimes, couldn't she? Then again she knew nothing of Lonan and wanted to get to know her new friend!
"So did you just move in with someone? Or just need new stuff? Here we are! It's a good thing we were close, it didn't take too long." She shut up then, an embarrassed blush creeping its way across her face. Oh dear, if she talked too much she'd probably get annoying and chase away this guy. Elle and Asra could take it, sure, but they were her best friends! Lonan didn't even know her.

The teen thought carefully, as if judging his words. "I just got here." He didn't offer more information that he needed to. To be open was never good. Friend only brought an ache when they were taken away. Destruction the only constant he could count on.
That didn't mean he'd bruden a child with the truths he knew.
Feeling a counter in the store he ran his hand along the edge, eyes staring straight ahead as he felt the fabric and made a face. Far too stiff. Sighing softly he ran a hand through his hair. "This is going to take a while."

"Oh, I see." She looked around at all the bedding, finding it very different than last time. Obviously the place had changed its available things since the last time she was here! ...That wasn't too long ago.
Friends couldn't be that bad! They were there for you when you were upset and happy, and they could make you laugh! She had her own burdens to worry about, such as when to ask Asra where she came from; he just had to know. At least her dream catcher was working its magic properly, Shauna hadn't had a single bad dream yet.
The fox leaned over to peek at the fabric Lonan was looking at, smiling a little and shrugging. "I think a lot of that kind of material is kinda hard and stiff at first, my momma said you have to break it in! Ooh, how about that one over there? It looks like it has feathers on it!" Shauna pointed at a set nearby. It seemed fitting, after all, since Lonan had those large wings.

Lonan let himself be dragged over to the new piece of material. Carefully he reached out to test the texture. This one was much softer, more natural feeling. Running his fingers over the surface and picking up the feather patterns that were sewn into the fabric.
"What color is it?" He just wanted to make sure that he didn't end up with colors like yellow or orange. The memories he had were filled with black and red. The only ones that seemed appropriate.

Shauna blinked. Was he color blind? "It's black of course! You're silly, Lonan." She chirped, looking back down to the set. It really was very pretty, if she was a fan of black she would have just taken it for her own room! Then again, she doubted her mother would be very happy if she came home with a new bed set.
"Do you like black? If you don't maybe we can find something else..." ...He had to like black, he was only wearing it! And his hair was mostly black...and his wings. Oh yeah, he hated black.

"No, I'm blind." Finding the bed set to his liking he carefully felt his way towards the stand that had the sets. Managing to find the appropriate size for the bed he'd been given took some effort.
Once observed properly it was blatantly apparent that he really couldn't see, never looking where he was going and not even bothering to pretend he could see the bed set.

Immediately her ears lowered sadly. Oh my...now she felt guilty for thinking he was color blind. She frowned softly and looked up at Lonan, she'd never met a blind person before...so except for people on the tv (who were generally very weird about it), she had no idea how to tell...now she felt stupid and guilty. "Oh, I didn't know...uh...so what do you think? They're black wiiiith white and red feather-like patterns." It's not like being blind changed anything, he just couldn't see! That was the only thing that made him different. Shauna nodded to herself, smiling brightly at Lonan.
"There're sheets...and a comforter...and a pillowcase too!" She explained, looking over the list that came in the package. Shauna looked up at Lonan again after, folding her arms behind her head. "So whaddya think? Sound good to you?"

"Not so much about the white, but I don't suppose it'll really matter in the end, will it?" He let the girl guide his hand so he picked up the right items. Last thing he wanted was to pick up something by mistake that was uncomfortable. Or cause more stares. He got enough of those as it was.
"You couldn't tell, could you?" His tones wasn't accusing, just observant. Sharp ears picked up the small stutter and waver in the girl's voice. Nothing to be ashamed of, really.

"There's not a lot of it, just a while feather here and there...it's really pretty, actually! Or...maybe you don't want it to look pretty?" Shauna tapped at her chin a bit at that. Boys didn't usually want their beds to look pretty, did they? The fox smiled, helping Lonan carry some of the things...oi, this comforter was kind of heavy! No wonder Eight had said she'd be the one to carry the comforter last time!
Her ear perked up a bit when Lonan pointed out the obvious, smiling sheepishly and shaking her head...but then realizing you couldn't exactly hear a headshake, could you? Not unless there were bells or something on your head. "Er, no...not really, I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention. I don't know any blind people." That hadn't sounded mean, had it?

He shrugged. It would work. He traced the edges of the samples, finding them neatly bound. No ruffles. That was good enough.
Pulling the comforter over his shoulder he let Shauna take the lighter basket. "Don't worry about it. People just usually point it out much earlier. Now where's the register?" He wanted to pay for his new things and meet up with Draconayzia. Crowds always bothered him. Maybe he'd convince her to take him back out later. After most of the people were gone.

Shauna blinked a bit, suddenly finding herself holding something lighter than she'd planned...huh...how'd he catch her? She shrugged to herself and took Lonan's free arm to lead him to the register, carrying her part of the bundle against her with her bag of plushies. This was fun! "Oh, really? They're not mean about it or anything are they? People can be so cruel sometimes." Shauna sighed, shaking her head as she put her bundle on the counter, carefully taking the comforter from Lonan to put that with the rest of his things. "There! All set!"
