one short day

So, after hearing about a nearby mall... there was only one thing to do. Shiloh had put on his black coat, thrown on a stylish lightblue scarf, and had walked into town. He really wished he hadn't of had to walk; the action got him tired after a while... but no matter! This was a serious situation here!

His purple-blue eyes stared at the doors of the huge building, taking in its entirety. He inhaled deeply, allowing the scent to travel to the depths of his lungs. Oh, this would be a glorious day! Shiloh's hands shook as he grasped the handle of the door and stepped inside, almost screaming in delight. Malls were so beautiful!

He let his arms fall to his sides and he looked around before venturing deeper into the place. His hands had found their way into the pockets of his jacket as he searched the place for the appropriate store. Food court? Ew, no, he wasn't going to gain weight. Bookstore? No, reading was for freaks. Sure, he could go in to make fun of people, but he would too out of place to do it discreetly.

Finally, he caught sight of a clothing store, and without hesitation, Shiloh almost ran inside, beginning to search the racks for clothes. Oh, yes! Today was going to be filled with money-splurging fun!

“Ooh, this is cute!”

The sudden exclamation of words startled the young prince and Shiloh turned to the girl who was now looking through the clothes next to him. A girl... in the men's department? What? That was confusing. A small smile came to his mouth nonetheless as he turned back to fish for something he actually liked. Feminine company was always the best sort of company... even if she was in the men's department. Who knew, maybe she looking for something for her brother or father or something.

"Eh, it's not quite my taste..." he said, replying to her earlier statement. He knew it probably hadn't been directed at him, but said in general, but oh well. Carrying on a conversation was better than keeping to himself, especially if the person he was talking to was a woman. "Looking for something for family?"

He hoped so. Otherwise, this had the potential of being awkward.

"Nope."

"Ah..." Oh, dear. Shiloh started panicking as soon as she said that, though he tried to conceal his inner thoughts by keeping a suave outward appearance. All right, maybe panicking was overdoing it just a little bit, but not knowing how to treat her was a huge problem! He always treated women with more respect than men; but if she was a girl dressing like a guy... ahh, this was so confusing!

"I'm a fashion designer...kind of. I'm thinking on rennovating this whole thing, actually. The basic shape is what I'm looking at..."

Shiloh thanked whatever higher power there was for getting him out of that one. That had been close. He nodded as she spoke, doing his best to listen. He couldn't say he completely comprehended, however. There weren't 'fashion designers' back home. There were people who made clothes and got a living out of it, yes, but actual designers? Odd. "I see..." he said, even though he didn't really. "So what's that whole fashion design thing about? Sounds pretty interesting."

Well, of course it did. He loved fashion and shopping, even if both were slightly newly discovered.
