Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shu happily waved back at the bear, like an innocent girl. "Oh my - you treat my joke seriously? You are gonna be the best reaper in the party! Nice choice!" The girl imagined Roland in the reaper costume in her mind, holding Sylvia in his grasp - wait a minute - the fabric looked familiar....."Dementors!" She kinda called out then quickly covered her mouth and looked around nervously.

"You might misunderstood as a real halloween creature, Roland~" The petite girl mocked, "Remember to put the hood down when you talk to people." She ended with a grin.

For his rude assumption, the petite girl pouted like a duckling, "Of course not, they are mainly for others, sharing is a good virtue." She raised an index finger and closed one of her eyes, in an elated expression. "Okay, let's line up and pay, then I can speed those boutiques -" Shu then paused when her eyes looked around, stopped at something that set her off. "Be right back," She said, trotted towards the display not far and ran back. "Roland, look, I find the perfect hat to pin those buttons on! Success~"

After they paid, Shu tried to carry the bear on her back like a backpack but it was too big for her. "Roland, help~" She unwillingly said.

"Hmm, that's sad, it would be funny," The girl grinned mischievously, "I kinda wanna see you panicking." Frankly speaking, Shu seldom see Roland being panic, he seemed like always levelheaded and composed. "Is this a revenge?" The petite girl stuck out her tongue, "I'm not that selfish even you're right, I love candies, I'm a good girl." She seemed to be proud of herself as she patted her chest a few times.

"Alright, you're right, okay? Okay?" She pouted like a spoiled kid. "Deal!" Somehow, she was glad that Roland offered to help and in return carried the costume and treats. After they left the store, they walked along the long and wide corridor back to another side of the mall, where more boutiques could be found.

"OHHHHHHHH! I see a shop there, it might have the things I want! You wanna come with me and give opinion or - you canwait here?" A while later, she raised an eyebrow at Roland next to an empty wooden brench in the middle of the corridor which looked like a mini garden. She halted her footsteps, turning around and quietly telling him "If you're tired, you can simply sit here". She paused right before she offered the second alternative, which she seemed not considering an option before she spoke out.

Roland, you are soooooooo bad! What a good friend she had.

Taking back the bear and candies was a heartless punishment to the girl and it would be super effective. Shu wasn't listening and disappeared inside a small boutique sandwiched between two well-known brands, she scanned the small area and like missile, her eyes locked on some hangers with pastel fabrics and brushed across them with sharp eyes. Oh my! She couldn't believe she grab one very close to the one in her dream, color not completely the same but good enough.

"Roland, over here~" She put it down and waved to the hunter running towards her, grabbed his wrist without hesitation to lead him inside. "I find a perfect top piece, what do you think?" The petite girl beamed, sleeveless top on her hand had a big diamond shaped collar, beneath it, the back part is a deep v shape.

Shu excitedly flung the clothes left and right, waiting for the hunter's comment. "If I buy this, then I only have the skirt to worry about." Seeing the bear behind Roland slumped soullessly, she pouted and adjusted its post from above, hands kinda wrapped around Roland when he bent down a bit, panting. "Awww you didn't take good care of Jorb."

If he took that kind of jokes seriously, then Shu would feel so gulity herself. It was like casual remarks between friends after one did some naughty things. Don't be sad even Shu said you're bad, she didn't mean it.

The petite girl bemused at the flush, wondered if the boy got a cold in advance. She frowned slightly as she thought of the possibility, looking for symptoms on his face. Nope? "Oh, that's the name of my bear, j-o-r-b." She beamed with confidence for the good name. "Hmph. I think my memories might have deviations to what exactly I was wearing in my dream, but it told me this would do. The skirt....." She looked up at nowhere and contemplated, maybe thinking of how it looked in her dream. "Alright, I think - we have to find a gothic clothing store, hope we are lucky enough!"

She paid for the top, folded it neatly and put into her gingerbread house bag. "Quick Roland, if we are fast enough, we'll be able to catch on the lunch hour~" Shu felt a bit hungry, but her tummy didn't roam yet and she didn't want it to do so in the public.

<It is not your first time though.> The beast didn't say a thing since they get out from the portal mocked.

Shu might read a lot of shoujo manga, but she wasn't a good love doctor when it came to matter of love. Therefore, the utterly adorable reactions not commonly seen on the composed hunter were undecipherable and she would be sad of the chance to tease him she missed.

The girl came out of the fitting room, with a short - very short striped miniskirt in black and beige. The puffy skirt made her uneasy, she didn't know whether to cover the front or the back was the better way. "Do you have a bigger size of this?" She asked with a rosy blush on her face, not looking at Roland at all. "Sorry, we only have this one left, it was one of the hot sales items. You look cute in it, you have lovely legs, why not showing them off?" The saleslady in a Gothic witch look suggested, jet-black painted nails landed on her shoulder, ushered Shu to the mirror. The lips in lethal purple smiled and tempted her with compliments, the wavy curly black plum slid down her tiny shoulder. "Look how cute you are with it." What a saleslady would do, but more like a witchy whisper near ear.

She was hesitated, so she turned to Roland, with her hands both pressed the edge of the super short skirt down, her eyes batted in nervousness as she asked for the hunter's opinion. Even the pale skin of her thigh exposed was tinted in a pink color, her toes inside her boots wiggling. "I-I will be wearing leggings so it will be fine.....right?" The petite Asian in a big flush wanted his assurance.

Even the slight wriggling drew the underskirt up, a bit of laces and baby blue can be seen in a quick glance from the side.

Shu didn't know the teasing happened between the two, she was quite embarrassed in that super short skirt that she hardly wear. "Arrrrr-I can't stand it! Little boyfriend, just tell your girl it's nice and no worries. Then pay and get out of my shop." The gothic saleslady mistook their relationship, yawned and waved her hands, can't withstand the "love bubbles" between Shu and Roland. "Ah. Okay, I will take this one, thank you." Shu responded.

She paid and got her skirt, shopping was called to an end. "Roland? RO~LAND? We can go eat now, just perfect timing. What do you want to have?" The girl was in such a good mood that she beamed brightly at the hunter, squishing his hand for attention.

"You act a bit weird, are you sure you didn't get a cold or something?"

"Oh....I will wear leggings under it, so no worries." The flush from Roland inflected Shu, she flushed like a red apple. "......Wait a minute. You didn't see anything, did you?" Please say no.

It was embarrassing, but she felt like knowing the answer.

Why she asked?!

The muted girl didn't know what to say, blaming him? -but that wasn't his fault. Reassure him? Not even an option, she felt her meager clumsy words would only worsen the predicament. "Er.....Hmm....ah -" Shu couldn't figure out a word.

"I-I'm hungry, let's go to eat lunch, shall we?" yes that and erased that from memory, the petite girl beamed, feeling her ears heated up. The bun meant they were not covered by layers of hair and easily peeked. "What do you usually have for lunch?"

She took his wrist, pulling him towards a direction while searching for signs with food shops. Being in the front had a merit of not having her face seen by the one behind.

<Quite smart. Whoever takes action win this round obviously.> The voice was amused with ridicule.
