"Doing what you love? Ohoho~ how scandalous." Arceia allowed the tease without hesitation. It was perfect timing too, since they had arrived at their destination - a small outlet mall in the innards of the town, away from. The tourist stuff. Luria got out of the car as seemed to bounce on her feet a bit, very unusual for her. Whatever she needed must have been important. Arceia just got up as slowly as ever, and oddly enough she seemed to dig through her center console for an envelope before closing her door entirely.
"I've got some mail to send. Why don't you two meet me at the food court?"
______________
June woke up late, after rolling literally out of bed and almost hurting herself. It didn't take long for her morning routine to become apparent, and so she opted to begin immediately. It wasn't overly complicated, but for some reason she had flashes of her friend in her head this morning. Overall, June doesn't take long to get ready for day, so within about the time it would take them to meet up at the food court, June was dressed and ready.

Zephyra glanced to Arceia with an eyebrow raised, wondering what she was getting but then it hit her. Her hands raised before her and waved back and forth a bit. A quick shake of her head was added.
"No, no, no. I.. uh.. I really didn't mean it like that."
Her cheeks felt like they were on fire once more. Thank you Arceia. Afterward she slumped in her seat, looking out the window to the mall that would hopefully save her from this predicament.
Zeph soon climbed out of the car, sharing a bit of Luria's excitement. She had never been dress shopping before, so it was probably a bit of nervohsness mixed in there.
"Alright. Sounds good to me. The sooner we get in there the sooner you can get your stuff. C'mon, Luria."
Zeph looped her arm with her friend's and shot Arceia a brilliant smile.
"Don't take too long! We might wander off."

"Right." Arceia confirmed and made a way on to her own activities.
Meanwhile, Luria decided she would have to break silence somehow. How would June handle this?
"So, fill me in, Whatcha looking for? " she asked, a blank expression most unmatched to her sassy tone. She sat down at a table nearest the entrance to the food court so Arceia might see her.
_______
Arceia gave a light sigh, inserting the envelope into the open slot of a door.
"Maybe they'll come." she mouthed quietly, turning away to resume her friendly outing. It didn't take long to spot the girls. Her approach was quick enough, and there was no trace of any change of mood to her.
"So, dress shopping? "

After settling across from her, Zeph crossed her arms on the table and leaned forward onto her elbows.
"Well.. A dress. A formal one, but the problem is.. I've never been dress shopping before. Really I've never bought clothes. Most of mine were made by a local tailor. So I don't know sizes or anything. That's another reason I thought having a friend along may help."
At hearing Arceia's voice, Zeph glanced up and put on a cocky grin.
"I didn't mean you had to run. Jeez. We haven't even been sat down for five minutes."
The redhead moved to her feet, straightening her tee out as she stood and nodded.
"That's what I'm here for. You.. don't mind helping right? I haven't exactly done this before."

"Certainly not." they answered in a creepy unison. They both seemed actually kind of excited at the idea - one more so than the other, and the obvious connotations between them would be unstated. Luria was the first to speak up.
"Why do you need a Scottish dress anyway?"
"Her date at the Crusades Ball." Arceia giggled. "Come on then, we can find a suitable little thing for you between the three of us."
Luria stood first, and one could almost see a smile. Almost.
"I think we should try Dream first. Its a newer shop to this mall and they do all manner of feminine attire."
"Perfect. How did you know that though?"
"I live here. I was only at school for about a week before this trip." Luria sighed a bit, but the reason for it was unknown.

"I really appreciate it."
With her hands slid into her back pockets, Zeph scuffed the toe of her shoe against the tile floor then started after the two whom would lead the way.
"Something simple will be just fine. And no heels. I'm already tall enough.. Definitely need ribbon to match for my hair."
One hand drew out of her pocket to play her lower lip as she thought about what she wanted, murmuring the above this to herself. The words were loud enough to be heard by her company though.

"I've got an idea." Arceia mused to herself, following Luria to the shop. The shop, by the way, was basically just a normal women's clothing store that also dealt in specialty and custom orders, which it seemed Luria had placed a few at before as the employee recognized her immediately. She also seemed puzzled that Luria wasn't alone.
"Hey Drina." she offered. "The taller girl with us needs something for a ball."
The employee seemed to still be confused, but shook herself out of it and nodded. Arceia just couldn't resist cutting in here.
"Something low cut." she giggled. "Because this one doesn't know how to flaunt her better features yet."

While Luria talked, Zeph sent her gaze around the room. There certainly were all styles of clothing here. She nibbled on her lower lip and her eyrbrows came together still trying to think of details she would be looking for in a dress.
Arceia's words quickly drew her into the conversation as she let out a slft audible gasp.
"Lady Arceia!" Her shoulders hunched a bit and she quickly crossed her arms over her chest and looked off to the side as a faint blush played at her cheeks. "A simple dress would be sufficient."
But really the thought of wearing something on the verge of scandalous made her giddy and the look in her eye when she glanced to the clerk showed she would much rather go with Cei's suggestion. But then again, she was only a day from thirteen and fear was playing at her features.

"I'll get duplicates, with one having a lower trim." the employee offered, an easy solution to the situation. Arceia seemed to enjoy being called Lady far more than most would, but she kept her mouth shut and nodded while Luria made her way through the aisles alongside the woman. They didn't take long to return, with a dress that I bet You as the reader would more like to describe than you'd like me to say for you. One was an average cut, and the other fairly low.
"The young missus may choose from either at her leisure, and of course I'm here for anything else." the employee nodded before returning to the front desk. Arceia quite enjoyed this, and would probably be ready to suggest more low cut dresses if one was not chosen. Luria was content to just be a part of things.

It wasn't very long before June decided she should pay a visit to the kitchen. She had decided to eat lunch early instead of dealing with her own morning thoughts, which seemed to be more powerful than usual today. Maybe waking up would clear her mind.

How one person could pick out the most perfect dress on their first try was beyond Zeph. As the woman walked back toward her, she slowly looked the dress up and down.
"It's perfect.."
Her voice showed the awe she felt while a hand reached out to touch the fabric ever so gently. The silk rippled under her touch and would more than likely cling to her like a second skin. None of that mattered, as of right now. She really wanted to try the similar pieces of apparel on. So off she scampered to the nearest dressing room. It took but a monent for the girl to strip off her clothing and slip the dress over her head. When she looked in the mirror to check to make sure all was in the right place, she blinked then stared openly at herself. Maybe.. Lady Arceia was right. The low cut dress looked, well, fabulous.
The redhead reached up to trail her fingers along the plunging neckline where lace had been attached to the upper half of the opening, the lace formed a see through sleeved jacket atop the midnight blue silk. Halfway down the sleeves floral patterns began to pop up. Zeph trailed her gaze down her body, following her hands movement as it brushed against the material that caressed every inch of skin. That was until she noticed the slit up the side of the floor length skirt. It barely stopped before the appex of her thigh and hip. Perhaps it was too much? She'd best get the other two to state an opinion before choosing. They were both rather fashionable.. or seemed to be anyway. Instead of stepping out immediately she looked down further, watching the blue skirt turn to black as little blooms of white sprouted along the hem of the dress. Then she gave a nod, seeing everything was in order. So out she went, trying to keep the dress from parting too much, but every time she stepped it gaped open just a bit to reveal a scrumptious amount of toned leg.
"So.. how does it look?"
She sounded a bit nervous as she looked down at herself then back up to the two others.

Arceia, who was older and threw the suggestion out for a specific reason, was naturally quick to agree that it looked great.
"Exactly as I thought. You're still so young, you have no idea what it is you have or how to use it yet. This'll be a great test drive since it looks spectacular on you." she nudged Luria. "Don't you agree?"
Luria couldn't look at her. Being around the same age, and being close to June, she knew it would send her heart into confusion. It took her a lot of willpower to nod with a beat red face.
"Aww." Arceia joked.
The employee also agreed, with a small golf clap of sorts, and watched more customers pass by the storefront. One of them was, you guessed it, the girl from before. She seemed to be chatting with a girl with a cane and pink hair as well.
"So, need to keep shopping?" Arceia prodded. "Or is this good?"

Zeph smiled lightly, hoping she could trust Arceia's choice as she glanced to Luria. Her agreement meant a lot to the Gael. But she felt a little unsure since the girl wouldn't look at her.
"Uhm.. It isn't too much? I feel.. naked."
Even as she questioned the decision, she gave in to what the more adventurous side of her mind was telling her. It looked good.
"I'll take it. Oh." She turned to the clerk now and smiled sweetly as she drew her hair over her shoulder. "I need some ribbon for my hair if you have any to match this dress."
It was always faster to simply ask instead of looking yourself, right? So by time she was out of the dress she might have it in hand. Never waist a moment.

This was all too simple. The bait was set, the seeds were planted, and the prey was moving as predicted. She would pull off this setup if it killed her. It made her happy that Zeph had basically instantly agreed, but she had to assuage some doubt before anything else happened. When the employee left, she confirmed.
"Trust me, it suits you far better than I think you're even aware of. This kind of thing would never be allowed on campus - too revealing - but this isn't campus, and for this trip, I am not your chancellor but a friend. I won't steer you wrong."
"It's true." Luria moused. "It looks... Good."
Was that emotion I just heard?
"Anyway, you're making the right call. Promise."
The employee returned with a ribbon to match, of proper length for whatever you had in mind for it. Sometime lazy handovers are my favorite writing tool, I swear.
"Need anything else tonight?" asked Arceia. It wasn't even close to night, which implied she was willing to stay out and help for that time stretch.

"Live in the moment, right? It feels a bit scandalous.. but that's part of the adventure." She gave a slight curtsy of thanks to the two, in turn showing off a bit of her cleavage. This she really didn't mean to do, since she quickly pressed a hand over the scoop neck of the dress and stuttered out her meek thanks as she disappeared back into the changing room.
"I can't think of anything else I need. Except maybe shoes. I have boots.. but I don't know how well they would go with this. We can focus on what you and Luria need though. I have everything else back at the castle I could want for a summer."
Words, Zeph. Your words.
She returned dressed in her normal garb, the dress back on its hanger. After taking the ribbon she smiled once more to the clerk and followed her to the register where she could pay for the items. And perhaps ask one more question about shoes. Hopeless, this one was in fashion.

Shoes huh? That could be arranged, but first, required obligatory teasing. yes, that's redundant.
"Everything hm?" Arceia let out a small laugh. "I bet you do."
It didn't take long for everything to be sorted out. Arceia and Luria had no rush really, as they anticipated being out for a while, so they had no rush. Arceia's phone started to go off in a most peculiar way though.
"Lady Allistair, you are receiving a call."
"Cool, put it through."
It was only then that one was aware that Arceia had an earpiece. It was discreet and looked a lot like an earring. On the other end, she was listening to someone speak. She visibly sighed, and tapped her watch which appeared to hang the phone up.
"Sorry, I can't get away from business it seems." she shrugged. "Shoes then?"
The employee seemed to have already predicted this request, for she had seven pairs ready to be viewed behind the counter.
