Ain was very appreciative of her explaination that allowed him to easily understand, on a basic level anyway, if it started to get complicated he knew he might lose track. Thanks to Ria he knew that one of the bills he had on hand was good for three pairs of these pants, and that was good enough for now — picking up three pairs he carried them in hand as he was ready to move on to the shirts.

He nodded to Ria kindly as he looked down at her, he would wait until he was done until he would thank her, but he would always keep at least one eye on her as he moved to the shirt section. In this section there were more options, a selection of plaid shirts with an interesting design was on display and of course the plain black shirts that he was more used to wearing, there were other shirts there too including one pink shirt that stood out but he was not good at picking out style.

Again he didn't know the price points, or what he really should pick to wear for the foreseeable future. He would rely on Ria, and turned to her and stared at her patiently for her to help him pick out shirts and tell him the prices...

Ria nodded back at Ain when he did so at her, and he picked up three pairs of the trousers from the rack. Ria had suspected it but Ain really had no other clothes other than the ones on him. Ria had a lot of questions, for example what did Ain do on the days he washed his clothes? Spend the whole day naked?
Somehow Ria wanted to avoid thinking about Ain without clothes at the moment.

The two of them moved over to the shirt department, and Ria looked around as well. All these shirts were magically adjusting as well, so there was no need to look for the correct size. Ain looked at Ria, probably waiting for her to tell him the prizes, and she moved over to the plaid shirts. She fished out the prize tag and frowned a bit. It was expensive.
"These shirts cost 35 dollars each, which is a high prize for a shirt if you ask me. But the prize is probably this high because of the brand, or materials used to manufacture it. As for these..."
Ria moved over to the plain black shirts and checked their prize.
"These cost 10 dollars each, but although they are cheaper it usually means that they are lower quality in terms of style or materials. I do not usually care for style but many people do."

He had not really thought much about it, but having only one set of clothes was pretty annoying and the amount of times he had to stop to wash it was numerous. So many days where he was just sitting around completely naked waited for his clothes to dry, unable to go anywhere as even he wasn't going to go running around the forest naked, but it did bring to mind one time he was attacked during a wash and had to fight it off while only carrying his bow and nothing else. 'Good thing no one could take any pictures of that,' he thought as he returned to reality.

After hearing what Ria had to say he shrugged at the high price point, he never really understood style, though people had claimed his style was one that included his cloak and helmet - he kind of wanted to step away from that when he was with Ria at least. She didn't seem to care much about what she wore, and he to be perfectly honest did not care too much either as long as it was practical and durable... a habit from living in a world at contant war was preparing gear meant for fighting. He sighed as he picked up two of the black shirts, they were of much better quality then what he was currently wearing but still much of the same, he added them to the pile in his left arm but hesitated a bit and grabbed the plaid shirt as well, 'I need to start thinking about appearances, just a little anyway...' he thought as he wondered what Ria would think about him wearing different clothes.

'I kind of want to see Ria in other clothes too,' he thought as his eyes scanned Ria's curves slowly, viewing what she was wearing.

Ain glanced at Ria as they circled around to the underwear section, he just sort of stared at the underwear on display, if he was to be perfectly honest he always thought it was more of a human thing to wear underwear and many of the elves in his world did not wear any including himself. He once tried a pair in the other world and it restricted him, without he felt more free, but now he thought it might be as good idea to grab a few pairs. The reason for which was more due to worry about what she was think about him always going commando...

He entered the underwear section and this time he didn't know what to look for, he turned to Ria for guidance, not even remotely realizing that this was not a good idea to do with a woman. To him it was just shopping for clothes after all.

Ria was from a fairly primitive environment. Her home for most of the 20 years of her life had been the treetops, and clothing culture was very different from the one in the outside world. But the females and sometimes the males in her culture could be, despite their simplicity, vain. And that showed in garments. But Ria had always appreciated the practical and simple and strong. Everything that didn't break easily. And it didn't help Ria had absolutely no eye for aesthetics. So when Ain grabbed two of the simple black shirts Ria found herself a bit relieved, hoping Ain had similar tastes. Although Ria was a bit surprised when Ain also picked up a more colourful plaid shirt and she actually somehow wanted to see him wear it. Ria frowned slightly at herself and looked at the pink shirt, that was on the side. The clothes were meant for both genders, and Ria went and looked at the price tag on the pink shirt. 15 dollars. Ria made a mental note to maybe come and buy it later.

The frown remained on her face when they approached the underwear section. Naturally Ain needed help there too, he couldn't read numbers. Ria wasn't a shy person, but admittedly this was very different from any other occasion. This was Ain, who Ria was...she wasn't quite sure yet, but they were something. She wasn't quite sure she could help him pick underwear. Ria looked around for store clerks but none were in sight. So Ria merely sighed and entered the section behind Ain. He turned to look at her expectantly, and Ria looked back with slight disbelief and confusion. Ain didn't seem phased at all.
"Unfortunately I'm not exactly an expert on...this area of male clothing. I can tell you the prize but you need to choose yourself."

Ain suddenly realized that maybe her helping with underwear might not be a good idea, of course, he was a man and she was a woman, they wore different types of underwear. He suddenly felt a bit self conscious about the whole thing, and wanted to get it over in a hurry, and grabbed the first pair of underwear in reach which turned out to be a red thong. Flustered by the strange underwear, he nearly dropped it, 'Men actually wear underwear like this!?' he thought as he looked around and saw more normal pairs of underwear that were not soo... erotic.

He with a confused look on his face showed Ria the thong...

Ria could see the realization come upon Ain's face when Ria pointed out she couldn't exactly help him in this area. But what she did not expect was for him to suddenly grab a pair of...rather risque underwear from near them. Although it was clear to see from Ain's reaction to it that he had not really thought about what he had grabbed. And despite that he showed the underwear to Ria with a confused expression. For a moment Ria was too...flabbergasted to talk. But eventually she pfft'd and started laughing a bit, and slowly she started laughing harder and harder. After a minute she was able to stop laughing, this situation was so bizarre and she hadn't laughed like this in a while. Ria wiped some tears from her eyes and cleared her throatt
"Forgive me, for laughing like that. But I wouldn't recommend that, it looks...very, very uncomfortable."
Ria almost broke out laughing again at those words, she never thought she'd say something even similar to it.

When Ria started laughing he just couldn't help but laugh a bit too, though he didn't immediately understand why she was laughing it was infectious. After hearing her explaination, he almost considered purchasing them as a joke, and started to put them on the pile before tossing them back on the rack. 'That one probably wouldn't be a good idea...' he thought as he picked out some normal underwear, three pairs in all and placed them on the pile without checking the price for them.

Ain brought his pile up, and was ready to go unless Ria wanted to grab something as well. His eyes scanned the store for things that he thought Ria would like, he had never bought anything for a girl before but now he was considering it. Looking over the store items with his excellent eyesight he checked for something that would look good on Ria, and hoped he wasn't overreaching with this gesture — but he really wanted to get her something as a thank you.

One item in particular caught his eye - it was different from what he had seen on Ria but he would really like to see her dressed differently, and as soon as Ria looked away he was going to grab it for her and buy it in secret.

He started walking out of the underwear section and gave Ria a glance to see what she was going to do, there was other things sold at the store after all.

Ria felt slightly relieved Ain didn't ask her to read the price tags on the underwear he purchased, she imagined she would've just started to laugh again. Mostly because of how bizare this situation was for Ria.
Ria headed out of the underwear section with Ain but she happened to spot a pair of sports bra on one rack, and it was on sale. Without thinking Ria went over and observed the bra, it was also made from materials that adjusted to your size. Ria picked up the bra and turned to Ain briefly.
"Wait just a moment, I need to try this on."
With that Ria entered the fitting room at the back of the store and tried the bra on. It was in rather bright colours, pink and white, but otherwise it fit and supported well. Ria decided to buy it and after a while she went back to Ain, carrying the sports bra on her other hand.
"Do you have anything else you need? They also sell equipment and rations."
Ria asked Ain, gesturing towards a section with all kinds of survival gear and foods meant for lasting long.

Ain was a bit flustered when Ria picked up a bra from a rack, a pink and white one to boot, before he could do anything she disappeared into a change room. Taking the chance he zipped away to another section, picked up an article of clothing that he had seen from across the store. He was surprised when a brown haired female store clerk took notice of his purchase, and walked up to him.

"Is that for your girlfriend?" she stated with interest, as she pointed to another article of clothing with a bit of a smirk. Completely unaffected by his fear aura, perhaps due to being used to difficult customers, she placed another item on his pile without really waiting for a reply. "Don't worry, I'm sure she will like it, but most of all you will like it when she wears it for you."

Taking a look a the item, he wasn't so sure that he should purchse it, but he didn't have time to think as he didn't know how much time he hadf until Ria was done in the changing room.

With that Ain ran to the cashier, and dropped a few bills on the counter to purchase the items. He made sure to look confident as he didn't know if he was paying enough, and before long they placed the clothes he had picked out in two bags and he returned to where he was standing just in time to see her return with the bra in hand.

He shook his head, it was true that he might be interested in the rations though but he could deal with that later. Gesturing with his head to the entrance of the store, he was ready to head out, he would however remember this store for his shopping needs.

Ria noted that Ain had already purchased his items while she was gone, and she hoped the payment had gone well. Ria knew Ain wouldn't be scammed in this store but she couldn't help but worry.
"Alright, I will just pay for mine."
Ria headed to the cash register, but glanced towards the pink shirt she had eyed earlier. She had considered coming back later for it, but it seemed to be last one. It could be bought before Ria came back to get it. She sighed a bit and went over to it, grabbed it and then headed to the cash register. The prize of her purchases was 20 dollars and Ria dug out her wallet and a 20 dollar bill. This didn't make a big dent on her funds, 20 dollars was what she usually got tipped during a night at work.

Ria didn't take a bag and just put the clothes in her backpack. She went over to Ain and without much thought took his free hand with hers.
"Let's go then."
Ria sent a small smile at Ain, nodded to the cashier and would head out with Ain. Once outside Ria turned to look at Ain with her other brow slightly elevated in question.
"Are you in a hurry? I actually have something I need to discuss with you."
