Private Finished Taking the Family Shopping

Almost the entire time Iesha was walking in the mall, much of it was spent looking down at her own two feet. Feet... the fact that walking and not slithering was making her feel woozy every time she put on that human charm.

Even with all of the practice and help everyone had given her, every step was a conscientious effort on Iesha part she was still unused to reality of getting around on... what she could only comparing to getting around by doing handstands everywhere. And her soles constantly felt sore as she can feel the pressure of her entire body weight of her body on these two stiff... noodles. But with the upcoming trip to Jamaica she had to get used to it... because outside of this island it was a human world, those whom would see her snake-like tail would be afraid of her at best... hate her at worst. So was so... fascinated with the lavender shoes she was wearing that she had forgotten where she was until Celeste said something to her.

"Huh? W-what?" stammered Iesha, taking a moment before realizing that was asking about how she was liking her humanoid form... to which did not know.

Of course Celeste would ask her such a question for it was her first time seeing her like this. But to answer, it was... strange but fascinating yet also very very confusing? Was there some English word that could properly describe what she felt about her human charm? If there was one she couldn't think of it. It was like looking into mirror but not recognizing herself even though the only thing that really changed was the fact that she had legs instead of tail.

"I... I dunno... its... all very d-different." was all Iesha should come up with. Now that she was looking at Celeste and away from her feet... it occurred to her how... small she was? She had always saw her as an adult but standing at an equal height to her made herself realize how grown she was. Nothing drastic, they stood barely a few centimeters taller than Celeste but it felt so strange for her feel all... grown up when next to an adult.

Iesha nods her a bit and looks back to her two feet... still not quite used both physically and mentally. She listen to Celeste where they should exactly start and when she was lost in thought she saw a dark shape reach out to her hair from the corner of her eye. Upon reflex she spun on her heel and slapped away it away with the back of her hand. It was only when her eyes meet with her assailant that they widened in horror that she had just struck Celeste's hand and felt sick to her stomach upon the realization.

"O-oh Msss F-f-forestier! I d-d-didn't mean-" before she could finished her panicked words, Iesha lost her footing and tripped over herself. As she fell, it almost felt as if everything was in slow motion as her mind was racing overtime to process what had just transpired. The last few seconds replayed over several times as she watches Celeste kindly face now stare back in... some form of shock, anger, or... horror? Iesha was unsure of what to make of Celest's facial expression as she suddenly felt hard impact on the side of hip jolt her back to reality.

"O-ooff!" yelped Iesha her butt planted to the floor. Yet before anyone could react Iesha pushed herself off the ground and quickly tries to regain composure though she looks like she nearly lost her balance again in trying to get back up.

"A-am okey!" insisted Iesha, whom though is obviously frazzled otherwise seemed to okey. Wishing to put the whole snaffu behind the two of them quickly as possible, Iesha pointed to the nearest store and blurted out.

"H-h-how about we go t-t-there? That looksss like a g-good place... f-for clothes." blurted out Iesha, whom didn't either bother looking at the storefront she was even pointing out.

Iesha's glowed red with embarrassment as she realized the place that she was pointing at. She felt like screw up over everything that just happened in the last minute. Though part of her was just ready to leave and be done for the day, she still needed go get some new clothes for herself for the big upcoming trip. So when Celeste suggested another storefront Iesha was quick to just go along with it.

"Oh! Y-yesss lets... lets t-t-try there." wholly agreed Iesha, slither- err... walking with Celeste though she conscientiously tries to be at least an arm's distance from her. She didn't want to freak out again and seriously hurt Celeste.

As the pair browsed around the many colorful examples of swimwear, seems a little... intimidated by the number of choices. Some where skimpy while others conservative, some full of color while others plaid. There was even a one piece that was blaring yellow one with images of pizza slices plastered all over it. The sort of thing that looks like it was put here as joke. Unsure if it was real, Iesha pulled it from its hanger and indeed it was a real piece of swimwear but whom would willingly put on this particular piece was beyond her.

Iesha hurriedly hung the pizza bathing suit on the rack and looked to Celeste as she presented her with three different pieces of beachwear. She took a moment to marvel at three outfits but found herself particularly drawn to the pink for its decorative fabric.

"Ohhh... I like them. Ummm... e-especially t-thisss one." said Iesha as reached out take the pink one off of Celeste's arms. She places it over her chest to get a good judge of how she will look in it. The best part is that she could probably wear this whether she has legs or tail!

"Y-yeah... y-your right about that." replied Iesha. When asked about if she found any bathing suits her eyes glaze over the one with pizzas on it. "Uhhh... no but...hrrmm..."

Celeste seemed to have read Iesha's predicament and pulled out pink bikini that matched the outfit she picked out earlier. While what Celeste said made a lot of sense... part of her felt pink bikini was a little too... revealing for her taste. She didn't want people looking at all of her skin at a beach.

"Uhh... I... I think I r-rather change into sssomething else at the b-beach? L-like... uhhh..." her eyes seach the racks, picking out several examples of swimwear that caught her eyes at first glance and presented them to Celeste for her approval.

"M-maybe something this? Or this one? Or... thisss one too? T-they will h-h-have places where I can j-just change i-into for... for w-when we go to the beachesss y-yesss?"

((Gonna send you the examples Iesha picked out on Discord to ya))
