Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a time when Fallon had developed her own infatuation with Lily. The girl was pretty, demure, and kind. Fallon had always viewed her as passive, and that was something she typically went for in a girl. But in all her time, she had never really had a girlfriend, at least not seriously. Even Eilian was not her girlfriend, despite how close they were and the intimacy that they had shared. These sort of attachments would eventually become distractions. Fallon might be okay with that, but Ares wasn't.

Her hand traced down the silk panel of a light blue dress. It wasn't her style, but at least it felt nice. "Tali?" Fallon asked, raising an eyebrow. She didn't quite follow what Lily had said, but there had been kissing mentioned. Was Lily interested in girls? Fallon had not known previously. "The only way to be sure is to try," she added. That was the extent that Fallon was willing to discuss a relationship though. She had too much on her mind to worry about people's relationships.

Magenta eyes flew to the clock behind Lily. "Oh, I have to run," she said quickly. "We'll see each other later." Blood Moon Court business, in all likelihood. With a wave, Fallon disappeared into the dressing room to change. She came out a few minutes later in capris and a blouse. "Nice meeting you, Guen," she said, swooping by the place where the girl stood.

And then Fallon was off to run yet another errand.

There was something to say about how persuasive a single look from Sova's father could be.

One moment she'd been adamently telling her father there was no point in even considering dresses for prom, because no one would ask her; the next, she was being shooed out the door as her father cooed about how fun dress shopping would be, even if she only went to look. She wasn't surprised that he wanted her to go - he was always looking for excuses to make her socialize a little - but she was surprised at how easily she'd been conned into it.

Now her heart sank as she approached the store all too quickly. It loomed ahead like a castle of doom, emanating girly fumes that made Sova want to crawl in a hole and hide. A little bell chimed as she entered the store, and she was left standing awkwardly at the front of the store in dirty hiking boots, old jeans, and a well worn shirt. There was scarcely a word for how out of place she felt.

It was only worsened by the sheer amount of people here. Were all these people really prom shopping?

Sova was startled by the bell, and moved over slightly so she wasn't standing directly in the girl's way. She didn't really have anywhere else to go, as racks of dresses, long and short, elegant and sleazy, starts from the windows and ran to the back of the store. This had been a horrendous idea, and he father would definitely be hearing about it.

She held up her hands quickly, shaking her head. "I wouldn't know a good outfit if it punched me in the gut." She shuffled her boots and looked down, as if punctuating the statement. She wore what was comfortable and realistic. She did a lot of hiking, which made boots the best option.

Sova's lips curled up just slightly. They were pretty big boots. She'd never really considered the damage they could do. This girl seemed to be good at seeing the optimistic. She took her hand gently and looked up slightly. "Sova." She offered. Her father would be so proud to know she was making an acquaintance.

As Sorrin walked by her face quickly dropped again, and she felt her irritation level rise. With a blank look, she turned back to Lorelei. "You can help me, but if he's going to be at the prom I'm staying as far away as possible."

The slight smile was enough for Lorelei, if she did nothing else today let it be known that the usually fussy girl had made someone else smile. Hand in hand Lorelei nodded to Sova, "Well it's nice to meet you." She said with a smile glancing as Sorrin passed with a raised eyebrow.

"Eh, I've seen worse, I know boys his age who act half of it and would drive you up a wall. Though I have to agree he does seem a bit off." Grinning she gestured to Sova's boots again, "Wear those to prom, give him a swift kick to the shin if he gets smart?"

Even as he walked past and Sova spoke he only grinned even more. "Yes I'm going to prom miss, still need a date if you care to take a chance?" He offered with a wave behind him as he turned down another row of clothes poking at a series of ties and bows debating if his outfit needed a bit more.

Lorelei could only blink confused at his rather off the cuff and random offer glancing at Sova with a nod. "Keep the boots on, we might need them yes."

Lorelei couldn't help but snicker just a bit, the look on Sova's face matched her own when she was usually staring down Demy for doing something bizarre. "I think he might be joking, but sadly your not hallucinating. I think he really did just casually ask us or rather you, to prom." It was hard to say, he did just sort of announce he had no one to go with.

For a moment she glanced towards the boy who was still busy looking at something while they talked. "What advice from me? In my books I'd kick him in the knee if he kept mouthing at me." She paused though tapping her chin. "However, you have to give him some credit, he's not shy about it at least? Could try talking to him maybe?"

Out of earshot Sorrin couldn't hear a word between the two girls. So he simply went about shifting from tie to tie, stripes? Flat? Diamond patterned? Maybe a flat black? Eventually he put them back peaking over the racks of the shelves eying the two girls from over the rim of his shades playful eyes watching them.

"Hey I'm not saying I would or wouldn't really. You could always give it a try. What's the worst that could happen he gets sleezy you kick him and we go get you that coffee? I'll be behind you if he does anything too stupid." With that she followed behind Sova taking a spot among another rack of dresses watching the other girl approach Sorrin.

As soon as the two started to walk over Sorrin dipped back down to the shelf continuing to 'shop'. Lets face it though Sorrin wasn't shopping for clothes he was shopping for a date and maybe just maybe it was working? For a while he let her look at a few outfits before finally turning around when she was looking down at the black and white one.

"You know I find black and white is always a good stand by, but you only get to go to so many proms it's more fun to try something exciting." Holding out a hand to her he grinned, at some point the sun glasses had come off revealing bright blue eyes proper. "Sorrin Giovanni, and my offer stands I kind of don't have a date still." The last part was with a sheepish grin. "Care to help fix that?"

He only gave her hand a gentle squeeze with the shake, polite all the while with it. He had debated kissing it, but that seemed a bit too old timey and he didn't have the top hat or monocle to complete the action.

"Well Sova you seem like a down to earth girl, and you look rather nice, I haven't been around Destiny City for a while so most of my friends have either moved away or already have dates. So I decided I would... expand my horizons?" He grinned again, "Thus leading me here, to you, and still dateless needing some way to fix that. Besides worse that can happen is someone says no right?"

Lorelei lingered in the dress rack red eyes watching the two ready to strike if Sova needed it. This was an interesting situation, though honestly Sorrin came off a bit too cocky for her taste still she gave him credit for his forwardness. She wanted to tell Sova to stand up for herself a bit more, but her eyes caught a lovely red dress... no watch Sova and Sorrin dammit!
