Ali grinned as Lucius took their bag out. Ah, what a gentleman! She tried not to be alarmed when Sky scuttled in her direction, a little surprised by the female's sudden appearance. Holding back a groan at the pain in her back, the girl stood, picking up her bags in both hands.
Then the realization of what Sky had asked hit her, and she had to laugh for a moment. Her? Have a car? As if!
"I don't live that far from here. Just a few blocks down the road," she giggled. "I'm a college student; I walk everywhere!"

Skysong giggles softly, "I see." She beams at the others information at her being a college student, "Really? I graduated a few years back - early too. All thanks to a special program I got into." The hybrid purrs in delight, her tail twitching back and forth behind her, "Well, since the nearest - good - ice cream place is a few blocks away, we'll give you a ride there and home. If that's alright with you."
Lucius nods, knowing Sky was just being her normal self by offering things to the younger female. He liked that about her, but then he was terrified one day she would be too nice to a bad person and get kidnapped or worse......he mentally shudders at the thought and shoves it away.

Ali nodded in understanding, feeling a little more at ease with the other woman. Many residents of Gaia thought she was nuts for sticking it out with a four-year degree, but she wanted to be able to do anything she wanted. And even though Organic Chemistry gave her headaches, it was worth the time she spent on it.
She balked initially at the offer of a ride. Living in a city when she was younger had made her naturally cautious. However, they seemed like a nice enough couple, and Ali had her cell phone with her. She also knew a few karate moves and could bite like a wolverine; yeah, she'd be safe. "Okay. A ride would be good. Thanks," she said, offering up a smile and tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Lucius grins and holds his hands out to take her bags, not wanting her to hurt herself or anything. She was under his watch now - and he would treat her at about the same level as his mate. Especially since she was apparently further along with her pregnancy than Skysong was.
Sky giggles happily, "Great! Oh, and when we get there, you can have whatever you want. We have enough money to feed a few armies." She smiles softly and nods. And they really did have enough money......her especially since she owned a mansion and housed a great deal of beings there.

"Nawww, it's okay. I've got 'em," Ali said politely to Luc, fidgeting lightly in place. It wasn't that she was a masochist; she was just used to doing things herself. Besides, she didn't want her chocolate straying too far.
Stunned speechless for a moment by the offer, the young woman fidgeted again, flushing a bit. She wasn't good at accepting gifts. In fact, she was awful at it. "Uhhh... that's not really necessary. I mean, I can pay for my own," she said as soon as she regained her voice, though she had a feeling that she had already lost this argument. Dangit. She hated being outsmarted.

"Alright." He nods and stands back, letting the ladies walk ahead of him so he could keep an eye out on them.
"Oh come on, it's a treat. Hm, lets say - to new friends?" she smiles and looks both ways before crossing the street, a little skip in her step.

Clinging desperately to her bags, as if they'd provide her with some semblance of stability in this thoroughly unusual situation, Ali gave a single blink of confusion and then followed Sky out of the store. She cautiously glanced both ways before she crossed the street, the memory of a former vehicular incident ringing strong and clear in her mind. She didn't feel like getting hit by a car; no, that was quite a bad idea.

Sky giggles and pulls her keys out, unlocking the car, "Do you wanna sit in the front or in the back seat?" She opens the driver side, peering at Ali curiously.
Lucius walks up to the car, "I'll sit in the back. It's much easier on my legs and tail either way." He smiles softly at the women, figuring the two would wanna sit up together anyways.

"Uhhh... front?" Ali says, the utterance a strange mixture between statement and question. She had been about to say 'back', but something told her that Sky wanted her up front. And what Lucius said confirmed that.
Oh, jeez. She really needed to get out and socializing more. She was so far behind on this small-talk, phatic conversation crud. Shifting her bags over to one hand, she carefully opened up the front passenger side door, trying to determine if her bags would fit by her feet. ...Yeah, they'd fit. It wasn't like she was feeding an army at home; her shopping trips were small.
Or, they had been, until this whole pregnancy issue. Yucko.

Lucius chuckles, "You can put your stuff in the back with me, I don't take up too much room." He smiles and holds her door open as Sky gets into the car, starting the thing up.

Ali grinned faintly. "Uhhh, thanks, but that's okay. I've got them," she said, very carefully sliding into the front seat and setting her bags at her feet. There was nothing breakable in them, anyway. Or smooshable. Smooshable... that was a funny word...
FOCUS!
It's official. Pregnancy is killing my brain cells... she grumbled to herself, smiling up at Lucius as she buckled her seatbelt. "Thank you," she said politely, in reference to his polite holding of the door. So chivalry wasn't dead, after all!

Lucius smiles and nods, shutting her door and getting in the back seat, "You're welcome Ali." He clips on his seatbelt and Sky pulls out of the parking lot, heading to the nearest ice cream shop.
