Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Better, I ran on the wind. Taijutsu is cool when you know what you're doing ))

Doren walked down the side streets and checked individual stalls. He wasn't really sure what Tsukiko liked wearing and even less so what girls found flattering, but he was trying, just another kind of training. "What do you like Tsukiko-Chan?" he asked feeling almost at a loss.

Tsukiko thought for a second before explaining, "Well, I like white things, not that I usually know what color I'm wearing or what white looks like, but I like white because my mom said it looks pretty on me. Nothing frilly, I think such things are pointless and a waste of money. Form fitting is nice, but not too tight, it would be hard to move in otherwise. I like ankle length dresses too... Um, that's really all that I can think of. So something along those lines is fine." Tsukiko smiled as she followed her sensei, "But I would be happy with anything you bought me Doren-sensei!"

"Absolutely not. We just had to make sure nothing was foul. Even if you are shinobi of the Thunder Alliance. Excuse us for the interruption." The captain spoke as they vanished.

Doren scoffed. "Well that takes care of them. Let's try down there Tsukiko-Chan, it looks like there are a few places with cloths." he started dragging his student along gently before stopping. "Are you okay Tsukiko-Chan? You seem kind of feverish or something, do you need to sit down?"

Doren scoffed at the selection "Mostly frilly stuff." he muttered with a sound of revulsion at even the hint of something like that. "And some lacy underwear and stuff. Why do they have stuff like this outside?" he flipped through several things and at least one passerby looked suspiciously at the young man shuffling through womans undergarments. "Hey!" he said happily. "I've found something." He pulled out a small top that had deeply defined Chinese origins. It was a sleeveless item made from white satin, appearing almost more like a vest than a traditional top, there was beautiful cord embroidery that consisted of a pale lilac shade. "You'd look really cute in this! Just feel it!" he gently took hold of her wrist and placed her hand on the soft fabric.

Doren sighed. "And I already told you that we don't care." he said a little snappishly. "Since the girls at the club are like our family we don't pay any rent and we get free food. Therefore we have next to nothing to spend money on. Now I'm going to get you this outfit if I have to steal it." He was only slightly aware of his rather irrational behavior in this situation. He flexed his fists for a second before loosening up and smiling. "What I mean to say is that I'd really like to get this for you Tsukiko-Chan. It's a get well present from your kidnapping since I couldn't take care of you myself"

"Good then." Doren said paying for the item and walking back over to the moon girl. "Now that we have a single shirt for you do you want the rest of them to come from Jaku or should we get something for you?" He placed his hand on the girls head pleasantly. "Sorry for snapping at you Tsukiko-Chan." he said smiling again. "I must be really tired. Don't think too much of it. I'll just get some sleep and be better for it tomorrow."
