((Juuuuust a quick question... would you mind if this was backdated to an undetermined point in December, for my sanity's sake? *sent Vivi's guardian on a trip and isn't sure how he's coming back* If not, lemme know and I'll improvise. ^^;;;;;;;;; And if the location doesn't work, bop me or something.))
It was cold. Definitely cold. And snowy. Viviana didn't mind snow in itself- it was a lot like water, which she adored- but she really didn't want to be outside in the first place. If it was up to her, she would still be at home. Probably sulking nonetheless, but at least she would be sulking and NOT dragged out of the house and having to listen to Outcry grump.
Coldcoldcold, he practically hissed, letting out a jet of water that was more like foam. His water insulated him from a lot of things, but the temperature of the air affected the temperature of the water. And while he knew he could stand it being a lot colder, that didn't mean he had to like it.
Usually Viviana would have tried to soothe him, but that day she just tugged on a long bit of Zvonimir's hair grouchily. "Cold. Home?"
Zvonimir sighed and tried to explain to the child in his arms again. "Not yet, Viviana. We're here to find you a new winter coat, something that will keep you warm. Don't worry, it shouldn't take us too long."
Of course, that was what the chime spirit said before he saw the size of the children's section of the Barton Department Store. Who knew kids needed that many clothes? Sighing, Zvonimir patted Vivi's hair and looked around for girl's clothes in her size. They had to be around there somewhere...

(( Of course I don't mind smile I still haven't done the New Years post I wanted to do for Lysium anyway xD ))
She hated that woolen cap so much. It was absolutely ugly, but Faiga always forced her to wear it on snowy days. But luckily Faiga had promised her to buy some new clothings, because she was slowly growing out of her dresses.
Shiver seemed to enjoy everything about snow, because his fur looked as if it had funny dots and he could play snow catching. His tongue was peeking out of his mouth trying to catch as much snow as possible.
Lysium rolled her eyes at him, but as Faiga didn't look she tried just the same. It was fun.
As they entered the department store though Shiver started to whine.
My funny fur is gone and now it's all wet.
But we need some clothes for me. Some warm ones and nice.
The daemon pouted but accepted the offer to be carried by Lysium. The girl was quite amazed about the vast UGLINESS of this place. Everything appeared to be ugly. Pink, bright green and yellow, uh.
Faiga smiled. "Try to look for something your size you like, Lys."
You didn't have to tell her twice. Accompanied by her daemon Lysium started to march through the lines until she found some dresses she liked. But wait, who was that girl over there? Wasn't that a whale? Moving closer she examined the pair.

Zvonimir was starting to regret coming out at all. He did not belong in a children's clothing store. None of them did, probably. But they were there, and Viviana really did need a coat, among other things. If he could find something amid all the ruffles and frills anyway.
Wincing a bit, he put Viviana down, which turned out to be a trickier task than he'd anticipated. She whined and whimpered and tried to hold onto his clothes and his arms and worst of all, his hair. "Please stop that, Lady Viviana," he pleaded. "I won't go anywhere, I promise. But I need to look at the clothes to find what we need."
Pouting, Viviana finally let go, freeing Zvonimir to the oh so delightful task of browsing the clothes. Outcry floated up next to her, brushing up against her arm when she didn't seem to notice him right away. Should have pulled harder, he commented sourly. Don't like him.
Viviana ignored him as she often did when he was whiny. Zvonimir was the closest person she had, ever since Daddy...
Who's that? It seemed that Outcry's attention had been diverted. Using it as an excuse to get away from the Music Man, he swam closer to the strange people. It was a girl. And... a cat? At least it's not a bird, he rationalized.
Dunno, Vivi said, finally looking where he was going. The girl looked a little bit familiar, but she couldn't quite remember why.

Faiga was slowly following his daughter as he looked for something nice to wear. He knew that Lysium would regret all of his offers anyway, but still it served as some kind of entertainment to the man. Besides he didn't like busy stores and hoped she would find something good soon.
Lysium looked at the girl and her daemon, smiled slightly and turned away again. They needed clothes and if Faiga chose them, they'd surely be horrible. Let's go, Shiver. I like the dresses over there. The cat looked at her and frowned. That was so inpolite! He did something he did quite often and simply stepped up to the pair.
Hello. The cat greated the whale and Lysium sighed. She wanted that black dress and the golden stars AND she wanted earrings. But she couldn't go away from Shiver and if she just picked him up and went away it would be very very inpolite. So she was trapped. Looking down at the younger girl she started to speak:"What are you doing on the floor?"

Viviana didn't have the slightest interest in clothes. If times were different, she might have had fun looking at all the different colors, before rejecting them all and gravitating towards the white stuff. She liked white. It was clean and solid and relaxing. But none of that mattered anymore, at least, not at the moment.
Hello? That was all? Outcry snorted, wondering if he was supposed to be impressed. Hello, little mouse he replied, tempted to shoot off some water. But that would probably yield more trouble than it was worth.
Be nice Vivi scolded, but it was more reflex than anything else. Then she heard an actual voice, and not one she recognized, so she looked up again, and only then realized that she was still on the floor. She hadn't really felt like getting up, but now that it was brought to her attention she grabbed onto Outcry's tail and used it to pull herself to her feet, ignoring his protests.
She did not know this girl, but Zvonimir had been teaching her to be polite, so she tried a wobbly curtsy, keeping one hand on Outcry for balance. Why was she on the floor? "Cause," Vivi answered. "Who's you?"

Lysium frowned slightly as she noticed how angry Shiver got as he heard Outcry's reply. Mouse? It had to be a mistake indeed.
I'm a cat. You're fish. Aren't you afraid of me? The daemon tried to look as scary as he could. What kind of greeting was that? First he had been grateful that it wasn't a bird AGAIN, but now...
As the girl got up Lysium turned her attention back to her. Usually people did what she said and weren't so...straight to the point? Narrowing her eyes cautiously she responded. "I am Lysium, this one is Shiver. Who are you?"
She didn't really wait for an answer, but turned to a rack filled with clothes, to look at them. Once in a while she glanced at Viviana. Of course she listened, but the girl didn't have to know.

Fish indeed. I eat fish for breakfast, Outcry retorted, not lying a bit. Could eat you in two bites probably.
It was difficult for Viviana to tell if she was being ignored or not. At least she got a name, and was asked her own in return. "'m Vivi," she mumbled, keeping her hands on Outcry's back to stay steady. "'e's Ouka."
And then, nothing. It was as if she wasn't even there. Maybe it was due in part to her situation, but Vivi couldn't stand someone acting like she wasn't there. She wasn't going to fuss about it... but she could make sure this Lysium person remembered her. "Whatch' lookin' at?"
This store was a maze! Zvonimir turned around, his arms full of coats and a few dresses. But Viviana wasn't where he'd left her. Raising an eyebrow, he looked around. The place was big, he'd admit, but she couldn't have wandered that far...

Of course Shiver wasn't quite informed about whales being not that kind of fish. For a moment the daemon stared at Outcry as if he was a cannibal. Then probably he was joking, right? Perhaps. But I'm quick! The cat grinned.
"Uhuh, alright." Lysium said as she heard the names and pulled something out of the line. It looked pretty interesting, it had trousers, but at the same time it also looked like a dress. Some kind of mix obviously. "This one looks nice. I need clothes, because it's cold and my Dad says I'm growing. Do you look for something too?"
Looking at her clothes Lysium wrinkled her nose but decided to say nothing. She had a different taste obviously.

Outcry was starting to think he didn't like cats any more than he liked birds. But for some reason, he couldn't just stop acknowledging the furball and call it quits. Are you quick enough? he asked, bobbing closer to get a better look at the creature.
A few of the words went over Vivi's head, mostly because she wasn't really paying attention. Her body was there, but her mind was somewhere else- namely, at home with her daddy, and maybe some hot chocolate. Then the girl spoke again, and she absently nodded. "Mmm. Coat," she said, because that was what Zvoni said she needed. "And dresses," she added, because that was what she wanted, she supposed. And when she was with Zvoni, she did tend to get what she wanted. So maybe the day wasn't a total loss.
That decided, Viviana figured that it wouldn't do any good to sulk for the whole day. Walking over to where Lysium was, keeping one hand on Outcry for balance, she started to look at the rack of dresses. Most of them were brightly colored and garish, but there were a few pastel ones that caught her eye.

Of course! We can do a race if you wanto to! The daemon answered competitively and started to clean his paws while looking at the 'fish'. He wasn't quite sure if it was a game or they just didn't seem to get along, but at the same time Shiver didn't feel anything bad towards the whale. He was just blue and fish-like.
Don't go to far away, Shiver.
Won't.
Lysium looked back at the dress thing she was holding and decided that she would ask Faiga to get this for her. She had also seen something people wore inside their hair, like a silky belt of some sort for you head. She wanted one of these.
"What's you favourite colour?" She asked Viviana as she noticed her interest in the pastel ones. For her they appeared quite boring, she liked golden, silver and black, extraordinary ones. "Perhaps you like different things, because we are differently coloured...in general."
