Claris blinked as she took his arm in hers and then started to drag him off to the Bikini's. He chuckled before he caught himself on his own two feet and followed at her side, looking about at the interior of the department store. It was the first time he'd been in there, and it was definitely a nice change of pace from HQ. Not nearly as bland or as dark. The smell of food coming from one of the floors was taking his interest more so than anything.
He seated himself on a bench once they got to the bikini's and he nodded to Kofuku before smiling at her.
"Enjoy looking through them. Looks like there's a lot for you to check out!"

Clasping her hands in front of her, she took an excited breath, the smile on her face getting brighter as she took it all in. New clothes! They were out actually BUYING new clothes. Giving Claris a quick hug, and half throwing herself on him in the process, she quickly ran into the racks and started looking around.
Within minutes, she was holding up swim suits and running to one of the mirrors on a pole they had to check herself out in it, then running back to grab more, and wash rinse and repeat. All of her worries, all of her cares were gone as she enjoyed to the full extent of this moment.

A kid in a candy store, that was the perfect analogy for her. She was having a grand time, running about like a maniac and checking everything to see what she liked and what would look best on her. He just waited and leaned back a bit, watching her and letting the scent of the food from upstairs waft down to him. It smelled delicious and he was actually having a hard time waiting. He couldn't help being hungry, and when it smelled that good... Well, they'd definitely be taking a trip upstairs once they'd located the swim wear they wanted.
He began to hum quietly to himself while he waited for her, something his mother use to sing to him when he was a child.

As his trainer ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off, Gizmo hoped up into Claris' lap and curled up. However, once the humming started, the Pichu's ear twitched and he opened an eye to look up at the guy, slightly curious.
After about 15 minutes of running around through the racks, Kofuku disappeared into the dressing room. Several minutes later, her head peeked out from behind the corner, her cheeks a little read. "Are you sure you're ok with all this? I mean, they're kinda expensive." Especially the suit she was wearing right now. It had a skirt-like bottom, and the top was a tube-top with string wrapping from the center to around her neck to back to the center. Stepping out from the wall, she gave him a half grin and rubbed the back of her head. "Ta-dah?"

He skritched behind Gizmo's ear unconsciously, giving the little rat a bit of attention before he noticed the Pokemons curiosity at the sound. He smiled just a bit and stopped before explaining to him.
"It was a song my mother use to sing to me, I don't know why I still remember it so well, I haven't heard it in years."
His gaze shifted over to Kofuku as she stepped out and his cheeks tinged a little bit red but he smiled and nodded to her.
"It's fine, I said I'd buy so don't worry about it, alright? That looks great on you by the way."

Gizmo was greatly enjoying the skritches, his tail wagging a little as he listened to the human talk. Closing his eyes, he thought about how decent this guy was; he wouldn't mind Kofuku spending more time around him. Once his trainer came out, he opened an eye, looked her over, then closed it again.
Tilting her head to the side, Kofuku smiled brightly. "Thanks! It's nice to have a guy's input on this stuff... The only other person I've shopped with was...." Her voice trailed off and the joy on her face faltered and faded a bit. "I should go and try the next one on..."

Claris watched her expression change and he sighed heavily, knowing instinctively who she meant, he nodded at her statement about just trying on the next before speaking.
"Faleen is still your friend Kofuku, stop being so hard on yourself."
He continued to skritch and pet Gizmo with a low sigh, this woman was difficult sometimes but he still enjoyed her company. It was also frustrating to know she was so interested in Grunt Failtastic. Panthers ineptness drove him right up a wall and would continue to until the grunt figured out how the hell to do things right.

After finally making it through all the suits, Kofuku walked out with three in hand, dressed back in her clothes again. "Alright, I narrowed it down, which one did you like best on me?" Bitting the inside of her cheek, she waited for his answer, her mind thinking back to the incident in the Hospital room.
Gizmo stretched out a bit, wriggling himself so that Claris' fingers hit the right spots. "Chuuuu." he said happily, enjoying himself greatly; it was good to be pampered.

He looked between the three, and while the first one she had shown him was really nice, the other two she held were also quite interesting. Finally he pointed to a blue 2 piece with some frills at the top of the cups. That one he figured would look wonderful on her and since it was one of three she had narrowed it down to, he couldn't really go wrong picking it, could he?
"I think you should get that one, It'll be the one that best fits your form."
He looked down at Gizmo and chuckled, slowing the skritching so the little guy would pay some attention.
"What do you think Giz?"

Gizmo looked up at the two and sweatdroped a little, suddenly putting two and two together. Giving a nod with a confirming 'Pichu!' he gave a sympathetic look to Claris, then hopped off. Poor guy...
Beeming brightly, Kofuku nodded and put the other two back. "Alright! I kinda liked this one best too! I'm glad we have the same taste in clothes!" Walking over to him, she bent down and picked Gizmo up, tucking him under her arm. "Ready for your swimming trunks?"

He looked up the escalator before nodding slowly, the scent of the food still assailing him to the point where he really couldn't wait any longer for something to eat.
"Let's go get some food first, is that alright? Whatever they're cooking up there smells delicious."
He turned to smile at her before looking to the Bikini again, then he shifted his gaze to one of the check out counters and sighed.
"I supposed we should go pay for that first though."

Kofuku scrunched up her nose a bit. "We can come back and get it; they have plenty of the right size for me, and I don't think a mass stampede is going to come in while we're gone." Sniffing the air, she gave a sigh. "Oh, something does smell amazing though."
From her arms, Gizmo hung there, waiting for them to move. He was hungry too, and the talk about the food, coupled with smelling it, made his tummy gurgle and growl loudly. "Chuuuuu." He wined.

He rolled his eyes and took her by the hand and led her off to the checkout, and placed the bikini on the counter. The clerk simply smiled and rang up the item and she calmly spoke the total.
"That comes to 12,500z, is there anything else?"
He shook his head and smiled politely to the woman and pulled out a somewhat thick roll of cash, laying out the amount on the counter with a pleasant nod. The clerk took the money and beamed at them placing it in the register and bagging the bikini she smiled as she held out the bag.
"Here you go! Your receipt is in the bag, you're such an adorable couple!"
He blushed at that and took the bag, holding it out to Kofuku.
"Here ya go."

When the total came up, Kofuku felt a pang of guilt; it would have been SO much easier to have just shop lifted the suit, not to mention so much less expensive. "Claris, you really didn't have to...." She blushed in embarrassment as she too the bag from him; she was so embarrassed, and the clerk's remark about them being an 'adorable couple' didn't help.
Walking away with him, she leaned over and whispered. "Why did she say we looked like a cute couple...?"

He looked to her and blushed just a little bit at her question. Her comments about him not having to have bought the suit fell on deaf ears, he really didn't mind spending the money. His rocket pay was used for TM's and that was pretty much it, not to mention he had made a fair amount of cash off the trinkets he'd lifted from Ambergris and from various trainer battles over time.
"She said that because... We're technically on a date right now.'
He feel silent after that and moved to the escalator, waiting for her before he stepped onto the moving stairs to head up to the next level.
