Damian remained standing and shrugged. "It's faster to say than Damian. Making me the perfect guy to call on. Don't you think?" He accepted the package the woman handed him and took Danni's package before she could accept it. The woman merely walked away, looking like she was glad they were leaving. "Come with me little fox?"

Danni took the package from his arms, stuck under her right, and twined her left with his. " Where to then, Ian?" She was a little shorter than him, so she could meet his eyes easily. She smiled lasciviously at him, a certain smile that she had perfected to make hearts beat just a bit faster, and a healthy color to cover the cheeks of the unsuspecting male it was set loose apon.

Not so unsuspecting, color rose to his cheeks but it was faint and gone in an instant with his own smile. It wasn't practiced as he hadn't had anyone like this to smile this way at in a long time, but it was still heartstopping. Already, you better slow yourself down boy. Mentally chiding himself, he looked about and then met her eyes again. "I believe I heard something interesting about a Hogan, the Trader. Maybe something sweet for a sweetheart?"

Danni smiled, though it was more something of a 'pleasantly suprised' look. ' Hmm...someone that can keep up with me? I sure hope so.' " Sure, but you'll need better lines than that." She winked at him, checking once to make sure the package was secure under her arm.

Damian laughed with his warm good-natured laugh. "Oh you have no idea." He grinned and led her out of the store. With a quick looked up and down the street, he knew exactly where they were going. Navigational skills came with the territory of moving everywhere so frequently. The two walked down the street at a steady pace.

"Yay!" Shadow exclaimed happily, clapping her hands. "We've found it!" The two vampires had gotten lost several times, but eventually, mostly thanks to Maire, they had found the clothier. She led her friend into the store by the hand, still not aware of the stares they had been getting from many guys on the streets. Poor guys, some of them even had girlfriends that had naturally not taken kindly to the guys wandering eyes.
A pleasant woman greeted the two girls. "Welcome dears." The clotheir, spotting Muse alread in uniform, appraised Aria for a moment and then nodded. "In need of a uniform, yes?" The older vampire nodded and let the woman lead her to a pedestal to get measured.

Indeed it had definitely been a trip through, having to stop multiple times to ask for directions, and trying to catch breaths for split seconds while Aria decided where to go next before she could say anything. Eventually, they made it to the clothing shop and Muse smiled as the woman came up to the girls with a smile. When she led Aria to go get her measured however, Muse decided to look around, staring in awe at all the extravagant clothing that was out for sale which she had never dreamed that she would even be close to. "Wow....it's so beautiful..." She said aloud without realizing it as she gently touched the fabric from a nearby formal dress that she was staring at.

The woman started her measuring. Shadow did her best to stand as she should, having done this many times before. Both having succeeded in their task, the woman hurried away, saying she'd be back in a moment with the clothing. Sighing in relief, Aria stepped down from the pedestal, only to trip on the hem of her dress and fall flat on her face. Too soon, she had sighed way too soon. Getting to her feet again, she brushed off her dress and looked around. At least no one had seen that.
Waiting on the clothier, she looked for Muse, finding her staring at a beautiful formal dress. "You like it?"

When she heard Aria's voice, she jumped a bit and looked at her before looking down. "Oh...oh no, I don't think I'd look good in a dress like that anyways. I mean, I-I don't think it would.....well suit me. Just look at me, I'm just some orphan girl...I've never been looked at as the beautiful type, you know?" Muse smiled weakly as she spoke, but there was a hint of sadness evident in her voice that she tried desperately to hide so as not to sound like she was needy and wanting sympathy.

Shadow laughed and placed a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Why silly! I am looking at you! You're radiating beauty, and that's no lie." Smiling, turned Muse to face her and grasped both her hands, squeezing them slightly in a comforting way. "Now, I think you need to try on that dress, or any other dress you like. If you can't find one, we'll have one specially tailored just for you. Please Muse, pretty please?" It was breaking her own heart to hear the sadness in Marie's voice, and to hear also just how hard she was trying to hide it. It wasn't out of pity, but truely wanting to give something to this girl that had befriended her; and that's what showed in her eyes.

Muse's smile brightened a bit, but she shook her head slowly. "Oh I don't know Aria....I'd feel silly, you know? Plus, I've never really worn anythin' like tha' before..." She said as she kept her gaze down for a minute more before she looked back up and smiled. "But....I suppose we could try them on. It's not like we don't 'ave time." As her smile brightened, she laughed a bit as she waited for Aria's reaction.

Aria hugged Marie tightly and smiled. "We have all the time in the world!" She was really getting excited about this whole thing. "It's good to have something nice like this in your wardrobe. You just never know when you'll need it. Trust me." Tugging the younger girl along, her eyes scanned for dressing rooms, but the woman was bustling towards them already with a package. "Looking for something dears?"
She nodded and gestured to Muse. "Yes, a dressing room for this lovely girl?" Nodding, the woman set the package on a nearby counter and turned back to her two customers. "Follow me dear."

"U-uh, okay? What do I need to do?" She asked, wondering to herself about the things that were going to happen during this little try out. She felt as if she was actually one of those rich people back in London that would put coins in her guitar case as she played to eat. To any normal person, this would just be another day where they would shop for clothes and play around to try them on. But for her, this was like a dream come true, and silently in her heart, she was truly happy to be here at Grove Academy.

"Just leave it to us. We'll bring the dresses, you put them on, and then come out here for us to see." Shadow clapped her hands happily as she set to work finding dresses. The woman shooed Marie into a dressing room and when she turned around, there was Aria with an armload of fancy dresses. Remembering to act as if the armload was heavy, she wobbled slightly, but this caused her to trip. Eyes wide the woman hurried up to the clumsy vampire and caught the girl still holding the dresses. With a tsk, she helped the young woman stand up straight and took the dresses. "Why don't you let me find the clothes dear, you just sit right here." Pointing to a seat, Shadow took it promtly while the woman hurried to take the dresses to the dressing room she had put Marie in.

After receiving all the dresses that the owner of the clothing store took from Aria, Muse began to wonder which dress would be a good one to start off with wearing. After a moment, she gently picked up a simple red dress that showed off her back and was sleeveless. When she finally figured out how to put it on, she walked out and smiled a bit, though it was obviously seen that she was a bit of nervousness. "Well...what do you think?" She asked as she modeled a bit for her friend.
