"YAY! Big brother it is then! Big brother Mottttt~" She grinned, hugging him closer; first big brother get! She enjoyed the hugging before giggling at the swaying, retaliating by releasing him from her hug and ruffling his hair so that it was even more fluffy and messy than before, "I don't really feel like the older one between the two of us anyway, so it works!"
She had always wanted an older brother anyway!
... And a younger sister.
School made her dreams come true.

"Gah!" Mot playfully smacked her hands as she tousled his hair some more. The pair probably looked more like children interacting than a couple of teenagers.
Oh hey! Weren't those shops? That was the point of going out, though Mot wasn't sure where they were heading. "Is this our stop?" Mot asked Lizzy.

Lizzy would flail-hit Mot (as gently as one could of course) if not for the fact that he pointed out their stop to her. She peered out, noticing the rolls and rolls of shops along the street. Quickly, she reached for the bell nearby, tugging at the string in order to ring it to signal to the driver that they needed to alight at the next stop.
"Whoops, almost missed it!" She laughed, standing up when the carriage slowed to a stop and wasting no time in hopping off, dusting her dress down the moment she found herself on the sidewalk. Immediately, her attention went to the shops on the other side of the street, a huge grin on her face; she was obvious excited about the trip... Possibly due to the shopping involved.
"Shall we start with the shop at the left corner and make our way down?" She was pretty sure they would be unable to cover all the shops in a single day, but they could always just visit those that looked interesting first, by going down and following the street!

Mot jumped off as Lizzy did, following after her and giving the surroundings a gander. "Sounds like a plan. Lead the way, Liz." He was not much of a shopper, but he had not problem following someone else who was doing the shopping.
Mot approached the first shop. opening the door for Lizzy before stepping in himself. "So, what was this about Market Research?"

"Well, mother owns a boutique, and while we cater more to custom made outfits, we do sell some already made ones," She nodded, "When it comes to female clothing, I can give my mother some views on what might be popular with ghouls... However, I am not sure about what boils might like. So I figured browsing some shops might help us get an idea."
She murmured a 'thank you' before entering the shop, looking around before tugging Mot towards the direction of the male section; it was a good thing she wasn't alone... She wouldn't have the courage to walk over to the part of a shop dedicated to male clothing by herself! With Mot there, she felt less creepy doing that.
"Mmm, let's see..." She started walking down the aisle before stopping at one of the clothing racks, and pulling out a hanger with a vest on it; it was a simple black vest with dark brown trimmings, "Mot Mot Mot! Try this on!"
And thus it had begun.

Mot had been sure all his job would be was following Lizzy around for the day. He had no problem with this. He was surprised to find Lizzy asking him to try something on, though. "Oh.. sure?" Was this helping her research?
Mot shrugged and tried on the vest here they stood, thankful he'd left his jacket behind. "It's really nice of you to help your mom out." He had no idea her family did this kind of thing for a living, after all. It was neat to learn about these things now.

"Mother is busy with other things, so this is the least I can do for her... Besides, I'm away for long periods of time due to school ever since I entered Amity, so it's not like I get the chance to help out a lot," She nodded, tilting her head and tapping a finger thoughtfully on her chin as she eyed Mot-in-vest, "Nothing beats hands on learning though! So really, helping out is for my own good too~"
When Mot was done with putting the vest on, she grinned, taking his arm and turning him around to face a mirror that was fixed on a nearby wall before releasing him, "Not bad at all, yes?" She gestured to their reflection in the mirror.

"You plan to take over the business?" Mot asked curiously. Since Lizzy seemed to enjoy this sort of thing, it seemed only natural.
Mot let himself be pulled toward the mirror, giving his reflection a once over. He smirked, turning his torso a bit to get a good look at how he looked in the vest. "Looking sharp!" He grinned, looking mighty proud of how he looked with the vest.

"That's the plan! Mother sent me to school to learn!" She smiled, adjusting the vest on Mot before taking a step back, "It's why I enjoyed helping the planning of prom - I don't really... See myself as much of a leader, but mother had always told me that I had the potential to be one, so I take these little experiences as training! Same thing as trying out for treasurer... I'm not too good at managing finances, but if I have to work with a budget, maybe I'll get better at it eventually."
She couldn't resist a soft chuckle at Mot's response, "You do look pretty good in it! And you still look cowboily~" She paused, and then went back to the clothing rack, "Anything else that catches your fancy here, vest-wise? I need a boil's opinion on this!"

Mot smiled. He was happy for his friend. She seemed very intent to improve herself. "I truly believe you'll do well." Lizzy always worked hard. There was nothing she couldn't do, so long as she strived to go on. Mot believed in his friend. "Prom turned out so well, after all."
Mot scratched his chin and looked the rack over. "I don't know..." Mot had a certain style that he was picky about, after all. Would that apply to other boils? "I mostly like anything in black.. or red." Did that help? Mot was not of much help, or so he felt. The most he could do was say yes or no to something.

"That means a lot, especially coming from you," She smiled before grinning at the mention of prom; they put in a lot of thought and work into that one night event, but knowing that the students enjoyed it? That made all the hard work and hours spent decorating the place and cooking the food worth it! Nodding, her grin widened, "That was because everyone worked so hard on that event... I'm happy and proud to say that I was part of the team who organized that!"
She looked through the vests one by one - who knew there were so many kinds?! - and pulled out those fitting Mot's description; it did seem like the boil was biased, but then again, she had reasons for asking him for his help. Something more personal than for business.
"Red and black? Classic~" She giggled, holding up another vest, this one made of leather and matching Mot's tastes, "Why don't you try this one next?"

"It was a lot of fun setting up, too." Mot smiled, remembering setting up with everyone during prom. It was like a party before the party.
Woah, a leather one! Mot grinned as he looked it over before taking off the vest he had been wearing before. "Don't mind if I do." This model stuff wasn't so bad. It was easy. Totally. Through it he was learning to really love a good vest. He may just have to go home with one... if.. he can afford it. Since he stopped illegal gambling, he was kind of strapped for cash.
Mot handed the old vest to Lizzy while taking the new one and slipping it on in its place. He adjusted it and looked in the mirror. Well now, this was also nice. Rather.. it was bad a**. "These clothes are really nice, Liz. How much is something like this anyway?"

Mot made a great model! Granted, secretly Lizzy wished that she was spending more time with Mac - the thought just caused her to blush a little and she quickly looked away to browse the rack again - but spending time with big brother Mot was fun!
"I'm not sure," She admitted, looking up from the rack; the price was not something she checked first, although it was important to know the price of what the competition is selling. Well... Lots of learning to do! She held up the price tag attached to the vest, tilting her head, "Let's see... Usual price 55 seeds. Special out of school sale... 30 seeds. Wow, that's... A big discount actually."
She paused, looking up at Mot before raising her hand to get the shop assistant's attention, "Wrap this up for me please!"
... Wait, what.

That was not a bad price, actually. It was just that Mot did not have a whole lot of seed on him. He hadn't expected to go shopping, after all. Mot took off the vest, slightly dissapointed, and about to put it back when...
Lizzy said that...
"Woah, wait. I don't have that kind of seed on me right now.." Mot stammered to Lizzy, waving his hands in front of him.

"Nobody said that you would be the one paying!" She giggled, patting him on his forehead, "Mother gave me some shopping money! She knows me so well." She couldn't help giggling at that before smiling sheepishly, "Besides, I got some seeds from helping mother out at the store before enrolling in school. Surprisingly, I hadn't spent those." Probably because the school kept dragging them away for things.
The shop assistant came and took the vest, folding it and draping it over her arm before smiling the type of smile typical for one working in a shop, "Why not get one more? We're having a buy 2, get 1 free offer!"
Lizzy's face immediately lit up as she nodded before taking Mot's arm and tugging him towards the rack, "Ohh, do pick two more! You look great in a vest! Not that your jacket doesn't look good, but... You look so dashing in a vest!" She then paused, tapping a finger on her chin thoughtfully, "In fact, how about... You pick two, and help me pick one for Mac?"
