Katia looked somewhat troubled, but hesitantly nodded nonetheless as she sat down. "I should..." she mumbled, slipping out of her shoes and into the new ones. After adjusting the shoe's tongue, she stood up, stepping around lightly with a smile. "Seems they are just right."

"Good.." Daire said with a smile "I just would have hated for you to pay all that money for them only to have them not fit right... as I've had to make many trips back to the store returning things for my little sister."

She looked to him thoughtfully, collecting the boots in her arms as she slipped back into her worn ones. "Little sister? How wonderful!" she exclaimed, walking clumsily towards the counter to pay. "What is she like?"

"She's very shy..." Daire said, following Katia to the counter "She doesn't like to go out much, but she seems quite happy to be off in her own little world anyway." he continued with a bit of a laugh.

"Oh? Well, our worlds are as happy as we make them, I suppose. I bet hers is lovely, then," Katia rambled happily, giving Daire a bright smile. "Thank you for coming along with me, by the way..." She set her boots on the counter, retrieving a wallet from a hidden pocket beneath a layer of skirt. She opened it, gesturing to the money. "Can you count the proper amount for me?" she asked, completely unaware of the hundreds upon hundreds that she had.

"You're more than welcome.." He said with a smile. His eyes widened a little as he looked at the amount of money the girl was carrying around. Taking the wallet from her hands he pulled out enough for the boots and handed it to the cashier before handing the wallet back to Katia.

"Thank you, for that too. I'm sorry, I really don't know much about this culture," she explained, frowning slightly to him. "My English isn't even best..." she continued. She placed the wallet back into her pocket, taking the bag happily from the cashier. "I just went to the bank before coming here and traded all my money for this currency, without knowing what amounts to what."

"It's really no trouble..." He smiled "And your English isn't all that bad...." he continued, moving to head back out of the shop "You really should be careful with that money though.. wouldn't want to lose it if that's all you have."
((apparently my English is pretty bad though... 'cause I totally almost spelled it "inglish" : emotion_facepalm : ))

Katia smiled, surprised and delighted still by how kind the boy was. "This is most of what I have, the rest is in good place," she spoke. "I do not currently have a place to stay, either, so must keep an eye out. Are there, what do you call them... hotels, near by?"

"I'm not sure about a hotel, but I know there are apartment buildings and the like..." He said with a nod.

"Apa...rt...ment...?" she stammered, looking to Daire with eyes full of confusion.

"Apartments... they're like houses, but there are lots of them in one big building..." Daire said, hoping that made enough sense "I'm sure they have them in Russia, I just don't know what they'd be called..." he continued with a nervous laugh.

"Oh, I understand," Katia said, smiling brightly. "Sometimes I get lost in translation, so to speak," she added nervously. She took a look around the mall, her eyes flickering in excitement as she stared to a store. The outfit in the window on display caught her attention in particular, but she couldn't get herself to move or speak.

"No worries..." He said with a smile, following behind her "I'm sure you'll pick things up pretty easily the more you speak to people." he noticed her staring and said "Would you like to go in and try it on...?"

Katia nodded distractedly, smiling to him. When she realized what he had asked, she blushed deeply, waving her hands dismissively. "I couldn't. I could never wear something like that," she spoke, looking back to it. Although it wasn't her typical, lacy and frilly style, the dark, rather gothic essence of it attracted her.
