Jude waited outside for Ariane to come join him so they could walk to wherever it was she wanted to shop for clothes. Already he had Ariane trying to sneak into the bathroom to get a look at him (as she had done with a couple of the other guys) and she'd given him his morning slaps on the a**. He supposed it was now time to get on with the rest of the day.
The Hotel staff probably thought they were a group of polygamists.
So much for a relaxing vacation.
So far Jude felt tense and his a** was probably going to have a permanent handprint. He grunted a bit as he glanced over at the door as if willing her to hurry up and wander out of the hotel. Oh well. He quietly adjusted the shirt of his outfit and then pulled his hair back into a ponytail with a dark gray rubber hair-tie.

However, unfortunately for Jude, Ariane was taking her own sweet time; she had packed lightly with the intention of bring new clothing back, but it almost meant that she had a limited selection of 'civilian clothing'... Heh, civilian clothing... They weren't even superheroes.
She did eventually settle on a green tube top, throwing a black cardigan over it before slipping into a pair of skinny jeans. Kintama's desummoned form was wrapped around her wrist as a bracelet. Her hair was let down for once - mostly because there was no risk of setting it on fire or it getting into some horrible accident now that they're being civilians.
Outside the hotel, she grinned upon spotting Jude, "You could have waited for me upstairs, you know?"

"Needed the fresh air," he said simply with a bit of a shrug as he turned to look at her. She looked pretty nice today. Jude couldn't quite recall seeing her in anything but her uniform getup. The young man crossed his arms over his chest, "You look nice today, by the way," there was no grudging tone or anything that suggested that was insincere.
After a few moments he gazed around and looked over at her, "Where we going to, then?"
Now Jude's arms dropped toward his sides as he waited for Ariane to lead the way off to whatever little shop she wanted to go to in order to rob him blind of his hard earned pay.

"Not bad yourself, Judy. You can actually pass off as a male today," Her grin widened as she nudge him with her elbow, mostly for the sake of it. His question earned a pause from her - seeing how this was her first time in Chicago, she hadn't researched past the... Exotic sushi and hotel. She knew there were places to shop, but... Perhaps going to a mall and looking around might make things easier.
"To the nearest mall," She answered, pulling out a map she had grabbed from the hotel, "I need to buy myself some new undergarments. Mostly bras."
... Wait, what?

He gave off a small grunt at her return 'compliment' at him, "Yeah, well, if people can't tell by looking at me in the uniform then that is their problem."
Plus they were idiots. Harrumph.
Jude nodded slightly when she mentioned the mall that made sense. He rubbed the back of his neck when she mentioned undergarment shopping, "I'll just wait outside of the shop then," he said simply. Was he embarrassed? Maybe.
Possibly?
He wasn't blushing at least.

"Er, nope?" She rolled her eyes and grabbed him by his arm, walking down the street with him in tow. Folding the map and tucking it back into her jeans pocket, she turned to look at Jude, "You're giving me opinions, since I didn't bring a girl friend along. You're probably the closest to a neutral opinion I have... Jeremy's opinion is irrelevant, Deryk would probably faint from all the blood going to his face, and Otto is a kid. That leaves you."
Lucky Jude.

He walked along so he wouldn't be dragged instead. Jude raised an eyebrow over at her and he would have asked 'why me' when she answered it rather succinctly which made him sigh softly, "What does my neutral opinion matter to you? It isn't like I am some sort of an underwear aficionado," he said with small smirk.
Okay maybe he knew a couple of things.
Maybe.
...Just a little bit.
There were memories, artifacts of a life that had happened before becoming a Hunter. Not all of the memories were exactly pure.

"Because I would like a second opinion," Although from experience, she would probably end up ignoring the second opinion, "Even if it belongs to you." Plus it would be fun to see him squirm inside a shop selling undergarments for ladies - free entertainment. Maybe that was the real reason that was their first stop.
"I'll pay for them myself," She wriggled her fingers at him, and then grinned, leaning close, "Unless you want to buy something for me."

Maybe he'll squirm. Right now he didn't seem all that squirmy. Maybe because he was thinking about sneaking out of the shop while she was in a dressing room or perhaps he just felt he could handle the situation at the moment.
"I do not see how my opinion will make you happy but alright," he shrugged a little and then peered over at her and raised an eyebrow, "Maybe I do. Maybe I want to buy you something nice without there being a constraint of a lost bet over my head."
He sounded serious about this.

"If you need a hint, I'm in need of a nightgown," She wriggled her eyebrows at him; alright, maybe that was less of a hint, and more of a request of sorts, since he was so kind as to offer, "And a pair of boots, since my last good pair got ruined thanks to one of the missions." She sighed, mourning the loss.
They soon arrived at the mall, and she didn't let Jude go until they were already inside. Deep inside.
"This or this?" She asked, holding up two sets of undergarments - one that was black and covered with equally black lace, and the other was dark green, decorated with black lace.

"I'll think about it," he said simply as they walked together. Oh there were a couple of times he tried to find ways to disengage from her but he knew more than a few of these options probably wouldn't work - especially if he claimed to need to use the bathroom. She'd just stand out there waiting for him at the very least. At worst? She'd probably go in with him.
As she pretty much pulled him along into the shop that sold all of the intimates a woman could desire he just stared at her with a faint tinge of color in his face. Color that wasn't tan. He'd resigned to his fate for the time being, "...That one," he pointed toward the black one.

He had already started to blush.
She grinned, putting the green one back onto the display before handing the black one over to Jude so that he could hold it for her, "Hmmm, let's see... Ah!" She moved over to the next display, holding up a matching pair of red and white bra-and-panties set, "What about this one? Or another color?" Meanwhile, people were already starting to stare.
Mainly at Jude.

He held onto the garment by the hanger and followed along after Ariane mostly ignoring the stares he was getting. He wasn't the pervert here the lady leading him around was. He stared at the bra and panties set and furrowed his brow, "...Different color. Red and white doesn't seem like it'd suit you."
Plus .. Red and white undergarments also seemed in bad taste somehow.
Why was he even thinking about that?

"Oh, you think? Maybe I should try it out and let you see, so you can judge better," She replied with a grin, thinking about what Jude said before putting it back, only to grab a dark red pair, "I think I'll look good in something red though, like this one~" She handed it over to Jude as well, grinning as she did; she was enjoying this. Very, very much.

"I don't think that'll be necessary," He replied in a deadpan sort of tone as he just held onto the new garment for the time being wondering just how much longer she planned to drag him through here. He wasn't exactly tormented but he wasn't exactly in his happy place either.
He glanced around as if seeking an escape route of some sort thus far it seemed like he'd have to make too much of a scene in order to get out.
...Hm. Would it be worth it?
