Welcome to Gaia! ::

Valens was sent to the most horrible place ever if you asked him on a task that required nothing more then him going through the worst or tortures. He was shopping for new clothing.

"I don't see what is wrong with what I am wearing!" He said, trying to argue against the forced shopping with his mother.

The woman reached over to tug on one of his sleeves which was much longer then the other one which looked as if it had somehow been ripped off. Then motioned to his pants that had more then a dozen holes in each leg, "That isn't a fashion statement Valens, love. That is you falling out of a tree and hitting every branch on the way down."

The horse started to laugh, "Ahhahahaha... that was great." He said, recalling the time he'd done that a couple weeks ago thus ruining the last pair of good pants he had. How was he supposed to know that all the branches at the top of the tree were ice coated?

"No. Not great, that was me having a heart attack when I found you laying under that tree after you fell! Now take this money and go get some new clothing!" She then turned to look over at the Silver dragon who was sitting there, waiting for her boy, "Ellie your in charge, don't let him get anything else until after he gets some new clothing."

"Alright Lamiah." She said, smiling and gave a nod.

Lamiah smiled then turned to head back to the car, "Call me when you need a ride home!"

"Will do!" Valens called, waving a hand then looked over at Ellie, "I think my cloths look fine. Not fair at all! I could some cool new stuff with this much money." He said, thinking about all the new toys he needed.

The dragon gave him a n** on the backside to herd him in the way of the clothing store, "Clothing first!" She said, eyes narrowed.

Valens gave a sigh when he found himself walking blindly through the store, what was it that he needed? Most everything he was sure, why couldn't they just make pants that could withstand what he put them through? How was what he did any different then what other kids did to their clothing and yet it was always ending up torn, stained, and otherwise mangled, "What should I get?"

"Clothings." Ellie said with a sigh, looking around before she grabbed onto his braided tail and started to pull him towards a display of pants. It was a good a place as any to start right? After all his current pair looked like swiss cheese. He needed to look decent it he were ever going to meet someone!

"Well yes clothing what sort? I mean it all ends up looking the same after a week." He picked up a pair of pants to look them over. They weren't bad, a dark color like this would hide grass stains he thought to himself and then gave a shrug before he tossed them onto Ellie's neck, "Carry that for me please?"

He then walked over to another random display of clothing, nope he didn't really need socks now did he? No shoes either which was a shame as they had some cool looking shoes and boots out there. Lets see...

"I don't know! Can't we just grab a handful of stuff then go to the electronics store?!" He called over to his Silver loud enough for the entire store to hear.

Ellie gave a sighing sound, "No." She told him then walked over to look at the clothing. Great... she was going to have to pick them out wasn't she? She started to nuzzle through the displays to look for something that she thought would look nice on her boy.

Valens blinked when he saw a familiar dragon heading over towards them, wasn't that, "Hinder?" He asked, taking a couple of steps forward before the Silver grabbed him by the back of the shirt and pulled him back.

Why, why couldn't her boy seem to focus on the simplest of tasks?

Ellie let go when it seemed her boy realized that he was wandering away from what it was that he was supposed to be doing. He gave a grumbling sound, turning towards the next displace rack that held various shirts and he set to thumbing through them. Maybe if he looked like he was working on finding cloths he would able to get out of here sooner...

Ellie gave a sighing sound, turning to look over at Hinder and gave him a smile, "Hello there, Dear Hinder. How are you faring?" She asked of the Green able to talk now that Valens was focused.

It didn't last long as Valens heard Zyanya's voice next and he turned to look over at her, "Hello Zyanya!" He greeted, deciding that he should have known she would be here since Hinder was, "Doing? Ahh, looking for new cloths. I am told mine aren't up to par for some reason."

Valens looked down at his current pants, seemed to think on it a moment then said, "I don't think I would do very well in leather." He decided, seeming to the teasing. Leather seemed expensive and with as often as he ruined clothing it seemed like it might be a bit of a waste of money.

He perked up a little bit, ears turning forward, "Help would be nice. I... have no idea really." He didn't do well with shopping, his plan had just been to grab a pile of stuff the right size, pay for it, then head to a more interesting store.

Ellie looked over at Hinder before giving a nod of her head, "I am trying." She sounded a bit tired, trying to help Valens was a job that she had to do twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. He was a good boy, a strong boy, but not the brightest.

Valens' ears turned forward as Zyanya started to make a bit of a mess in search of what she no doubt thought was the perfect clothing. A part of him said he should probably clean the mess up then he was distracted by her pointing and telling him to go try something on. He told himself that there were people who worked here that would clean up after the customers.

He followed the direction in which she was pointing with his eyes first before giving a nod, "Alright, I can try that one." He said, tail giving a swishing before he started towards the shirt she designated.

Ellie gave Hinder a smile, "The same old stuff, trying to keep my boy heading in the right direction as always. Both figuratively speaking and literally." She followed Valens' movement with her eyes but didn't follow since Zyanya was watching after him for the moment. It was alright to spend a moment with her friend, "Given as active as he is its a chore though at least of late he's found something to focus his limitless energy on. How about you, what you been up too?"

She was a bit curious as she wondered what Chromatics did with their time.

Valens looked the shirt over then without a second thought he stripped off what he was wearing, picked up the designated shirt, and pulled it on. He found himself laughing a little bit after he'd gotten it on. The sleeves were to short and it didn't button so it looked more like a vest on him then anything, "Need find a bigger size." He called over to her shedding the many sizes to small shirt and returned it back to the display before going in search through the racks for another one, his own shirt tossed over his shoulder. Since he'd just have to be taking it off one he found a bigger size anyway he saw no point in putting it back on.

Ellie thought on the name for a long moment before giving a shake of her head, "Can't say that I know him." She said, finding that the name didn't ring a bell for her, "Its training with a weapon called a Naginata. He took a class for it with a man called Kuyoja. Its one of very few things he focuses on for long periods of time. That weapon and girls that jump up and down..." The last part was said with a drawn out sigh.

Valens gave a nod of his head, "Seems I am a different size every time I go shopping." He said, picking up one that looked like it might be the right size and tried it on. It was closer then before but maybe one size bigger? He switched it out once more then gave a smile, "Ah, here we go." He said, buttoning up the shirt and turned to Zyanya to get her opinion.

Ellie gave a little smile, "I rather liked him, he has the most interesting markings. Did you get to see them?" She asked, then tilted her head to the side and wondered why the man had tried to put someone in a victim role. Some sort of learning ritual perhaps?

Valens perked up a bit, so long as he wasn't the only one who had trouble with constantly growing out of his clothing then he was fine with the whole idea. It was a common thing even which made it that much better he thought before looking towards what she held in her hands, "I think... that they are umm..." He tried to think of a proper response but failed. His mind seemed to click between the other times he'd seen such things, on her mind you.

He gave a bit of a flush though it was hard to see it aside from where his white forehead marking was located, "Nice." He finally finished with a bit of a dumb grin on his face.

So Hinder hadn't been able to see the markings that the teacher had then, "Thats a shame, they were neat. They were colorful markings that were in the shape of dragons." She told her Chromatic friend then tilted her head to the side, "I wonder why he would have such markings on him, he must really love dragons." Her tail swished back and forth as she said the last part.
