Chath has paused outside a ...unmentionables shop. He blinked once and then twice wondering what kind of store this could be for? In the window display there were very high heeled shoes...or boots...and a manikin wearing a tight corsette. He never understood why women would want to wear such things,but there were many posters of women wearing them so they must be popular. He looked and noticed the sign saying open, but then noticed he was being watched.
Stepping back the clerk inside the store glared at him, apparently they didn't like window shoppers... But despite his nativity he was curious. What is the basis of this shop? just clothing for women? cosplay perhaps? He had wanted to find a gift for Ligeia...but ..he somehow doubted she would want a whip... a corsette...maybe she would want one of those? They looked so uncomfortable...and this shop did seemed aimed towards women...

Fleur squealed as he hopped out of the shop two doors down, twirling happily in his new clothes. They were roomy and comfortable and definitely pretty. They were blue and purple, after all! The two best colors in the world! Aube en Argent, his silver dragon, was less than convinced, giving him an exasperated and rather unnerved look over as she exited the store after him.
The store was a women's clothing store - everything on this block was. Argent was beginning to debate the skunk boy's sanity even if he did look oddly good in this new outfit. What had the label said the tunic was? A "girl's gung xi top"? Whatever it was, it looked vaguely Japanese or Chinese, purple with gold trim and long, belled-out sleeves which extended to the tips of Fleur's black-furred fingers. A deep blue sarong wrapped around his waist and flowed with each step and twirl he took. The tag said it was a sarong - it looked more like a long, flowing skirt to Argent, especially combined with the winged "gift of the goddess" sandals he had bought to complete the ensemble.
The whole ensemble was horrendously expensive not that Stevie would care - she was grotesquely rich, after all. Argent's only problem was the overall look. It was, indeed, very pretty on Fleur, making his black and white face stand out as well as his white hair, but the colors, sarong/skirt, Fleur's orange-scented perfume, and the fact that the skunk boy was beginning to let his white hair grow out all combined to form only one impression.
...he looks like a girl, she grumbled inwardly.

Chath tried not to stare into the shop again and instead distracted himself by looking the pair walking down the street and towards him. A silver dragon trailed in their wake, which reminded him....
He looked around and then spotted Kier chewing on the corner of a wooden bench and was quickly turning the thing into toothpicks.
"Kier! Stop that!" he hissed at the black who only stopped becuase he smelt another dragon nearby. Spitting out the larger chunks of wood that was in his jaws teh black rose stretched and let out a flap of his wings before moving to Chath's side.
Chath looked to the bench a look of horror written across his face. He was too honest to just leave it like that...but what could he do? Forcing himself to think of something else he would come back to the bench later.
"Excuse me!" He held a hand up to wave down the trio comeing towards them. "Um I just have a question." he continued trying not to be too rude.

Fleur perked his ears up, coming out of his girlish twirling when he heard a voice calling someone. Since he saw no one else but the boy two doors down, he assumed he was the one calling and Fleur was the one he was addressing. "Yes?" the skunk replied, merrily skipping closer so he would not have to raise his voice, tail swaying up and down as he did so.
Argent sighed and trotted after him, worn out already. It was so strange the way her boy became excited over silly things such as clothing, but she supposed she could not fault him too much. As a silver, her interest lay in jewelry if the large emerald pendant around her neck was any indication. To anyone who did not already know Fleur, they looked like a pair of girls in the middle of a day of shopping, so Argent decided to quit sighing and just go with it for now. If only the bandage over Fleur's eye was ready to come off, then he really would be quite pretty.
Argent distracted herself by blinking at what was left of the bench, only then noticing the black dragon with the other boy. She frowned at the behavior but supposed not all dragons could be as perfect as she. Fleur was completely oblivious, his attention focused on the other boy who had called him.

Um. Chath couldn't believe his luck. A girl! Great, cause now he really could get the help he needed.
"Er...thanks for stopping, I was wondering...it may be a bit of an awkward question, maybe even a strange one, but ..I was wondering if you could help me pick out a gift. I am a bit lost.." Chat explained feeling a bit embaressed about the subject.
Kier fixed his deep gaze on the silver Dragon who was with the skunk child. Kier never understood the point of carrying your horde with you. he had his stashed away in a secret place at home...why trudge it around? It was like dragons were asking for the precious jems and jewels to be stolen.
The black being a bit older than the silver was still small though approximately close to the silver's size. He stopped just a few paces from her, staring, a toothy grin escaping a moment before he sat down and looked rather serious and ....all knowing.

"Oh!" Fleur smiled, his tail perking up. "Sure - what did you have in mind?" Fleur loved picking out gifts. His taste in them was questionable since he still saw no difference between appropriate gifts for boys and appropriate gifts for girls (if his current choice in clothing was any indication), but he loved it nonetheless. After all, picking out gifts meant shopping!
Argent frowned at the black dragon's expression and turned her nose up haughtily. She had no idea why he was looking at her like that, but she was not about to let him know it bothered her. Instead, she glanced up at Fleur, exasperated once more. More shopping?

Chath looked relieved that the girl didn't seem offended or weirded out by his request. "Well you see i am trying to pick a gift out for a girl I know fiarly well. . ." he trailed off and then waved a hand in dismissal. "Well...shei s a good friend of mine. and she has helped me out a lot so i want to get her a tahnk you present. But I really have no idea what to get her." he concluded with a muffeled cough of embaressment.
Kier looked amused as he was now being ignored. He stood and then moved to sit inches away from her. Nearly nose to nose. Why did he seem to want to be a pest today? No that raelly wasn't it. He didn't like being ignored, he was far more important than this lil silver.

"Ohh," Fleur drawled, thinking about that. "Well, the first question is how much you can spend." Fleur twitched his black ears, reminding himself that not everyone could spend as much as they liked unlike himself. "Girls love jewelry if you can afford that! Flowers are always nice too." He smiled sweetly, quietly hoping the boy asked him to come along to shop.
Argent looked back away from Fleur only to yip slightly when she noticed the black dragon was so close. She narrowed her eyes and nipped at his nose, not aiming to actually connect, only to show she was not at all happy with his close proximity but too stubborn to move.

Chath thought on that...how much did he want to spend on Ligeia? "Umm...i could probably get her a necklace..." he murmured thinking to his wallet and how Kier nearly emptied it wanting treats. But a necklace should be doable.
"your the same colors as her, so maybe we can get something that will match?" he asked having no idea if girls liked to have their jewlery match or not. He had only recently gotten to be good friends with Ligeia, so he wasn't too sure what she would like.
Kier nearly gave a laugh at the n** and raised a clawd paw and pawed the air in front of himself like a dog trying to push something invisible out of the way. He never touched the silver, but he could tell he was annoying her. Perfect.

"The same colors as me?" Fleur repeated, surprised. Who could that be? Not that it mattered. "If she's anything like me, she'll like bright colors. Black and white can be so boring." Granted, that was his opinion, but Chath, unfortunately, was victim to his reasoning for now. "I know a good place a block that way with nice necklaces at good prices!" Fleur beamed, happy to both be able to help and to be able to shop some more.
Argent puffed up and let out a long hiss, sounding not unlike an enraged tea kettle, a fact which did not go unnoticed by her boy, much to her dismay.
"You sound like Chrysler's tea kettle," Fleur needlessly pointed out, making Argent puff up again, now not only being antagonized by the other dragon but embarrassed in front of it by her boy.

Chath nodded his head and wondered if this was true. He...never really noticed Ligeia wearing bright colors...but then again..maybe she needed some?
"..Ok.ay..bright colors. got it." he confirmed with a nod of his head, before looking down the street to where Fluer was talking about. "right...my name is Chath!" he hastily introduced himself, "and this is my black dragon Kier." he continued with a general wave in the black's direction.
He gave Kier a glare when he noticed he was buggin the poor silver. but knew it useless to lecture at this point.
Kier gave a dragon like laugh, that sounded more like a wet hiss and he puffed up his chest to imitate the silver, flapping his wings he stood and his tail lashed from side to side, like a cat who couldn't wait to pounce.

"I'm Fleur!" the skunk replied, much more sociable nowadays than he used to be. "This is Aube en Argent - it's French for Silver Dawn." Fleur was proud of himself for coming up with such a pretty name even if it was just a tad redundant calling a silver Silver. "Do you know what color her eyes are?" Fleur asked, having gotten introductions out of the way. "Something that matches her eyes would probably be really nice!"
Trying her absolute best to ignore the black dragon, Argent looked away from him with a roll of her eyes and stuck her nose in the air again. She hoped they started moving soon so she could put her boy between herself and the offending dragon. If all dragons were this annoying, she hoped she did not meet many of them.

Fluer? Pretty name. He followed the skunk girl and nodded his head to the silver dragon's name. He attempted to remembver Keir's name. It was long...his mother had come up with it.
"Keir's full name is Keir' Tabansi, I belieev it means dark-skinned the one who endures." he continued thinkg he was pretty close to the original meaning anyway.
Eyes? Color? Now that he thought about it...he wasn't sure. "Um...I think her eyes are really dark...like almost black." he continued keepin in pace with Fluer.
Kier trotted ahead to make sure he was a step ahead of everyone, including the silver.
Losing patience darling? Keir asked with a smug expression on his dragonic face.

"Ooh, that's neat!" the skunk responded. He had hoped he was not the only one who thought so hard about a name for his dragon, and it was a relief to hear of another with a meaningful name.
"Black? Oh," Fleur thought about that. If they wanted to get something bright, black simply would not do. "Blue is a good color to go with black. So's green." Fleur frowned as he thought about that. "Actually, anything goes with black except brown...but I think blue, purple, and green look best." He was completely ignoring his poor dragon at this point, too wrapped up in trying to figure out the perfect gift for Chath's friend. "Ohh! Scarves are nice too!" he squeaked, remembering that the store they were going to also sold decorative scarves which could be worn all year round, not just in the winter. "And they're cheaper than necklaces, so you can look at those too!"
Hmph! Argent once again stuck her nose in the air and did her best to put Fleur between herself and Keir. Darling? How dare he! Even Fleur did not call her that. Sure, he called her many other embarrassing nicknames like Aubey, Dawnie, and Wiggle Butt, but that was different!

Chath just listened, since he was not an expert on the topic he was sure glad he found someone who seemed to know these sort of things.
"Ah! She does wear a lot of blues and whites." He commented thinking about the last time he had met with her, " She is an....bird type d-corp chlid, you think a scarf would get in her way while she flew?" Chath asked but then recalled old fashion pilots use to wear long scarves while they flew in their planes....maybe it would be ok.
Keir was having a fun time. This was much more interesting than destroying that bench. Tell me silver jewel, how does the sun shine when you are not around? he asked using flattery to through her off guard.
