Dorthea Tor was obnoxiously friendly girl... to the point that she suspected that she was hiding something behind that bubbly exterior. They had only a few conversations outside of classes and the only real connection they had was that they both happen to know Dalia who was like... her cousin or something. Still, she never really thought of the two of them being more than acquaintances so it was a surprise when she invited her out to come to the mall with her.

Had Dorthea been a total nobody she would have just laughed her off and refused but... Dorthea was no nobody to her. Not only did she have bit of reputation as school, in part of her competitiveness and harmless pranks, but also her online presence as she runs a fashion blog that Aedes was been following even before she knew Dorthea properly. The girl certainly has good tastes in clothing wear... must be Tor thing. Anyway, Aedes figured that at the very least the two of them could network a bit... as well as give her an excuse to go to the mall to treat herself! She only had 60 dollars to her name as Endrit was cheakstake when it come to allowances but... maybe Dorthea will be a dear and help spot her in buying that really cute outfit she must have.

"Alright so here we are at the mall" stated Aedes, standing outside of the front door with her oversize umbrella shielding her pale body from the sunlight "Much appreciated that you brought me along~ Honestly, I am surprised that someone like you extended an invitation come with you on your shopping experience but now that you have me here... where to first? I have never been to the mall before so I am sort of leaving it up to you."

Thea had been excited about the mall trip she had planned with Aedes. If she was being honest she had just invited the girl because she had a decent fashion sense and she needed more fashionable friends. Besides seeing the girl around the school and the small little interactions she had with her, she knew next to nothing about the girl in question. They had agreed to meet in front of the mall and go into together, so she waited for the girl to show up.

"I don't think my fashion sense makes me anything special, but I'm glad you think so. Besides I've been curious about you for a while." Walking into the mall she looked around for a bit and then looked over Aedes. "I guess that would depend on your style...and what you like. I've been to most of the stores." She shrugged her shoulders and waited for the girl to answer.

"There is this store on the second floor, that I love. We have to go to it before we leave, they have this really cute dress on display."

"Oh your just being modest. You have good taste in clothes and many people on your fashion blog, including myself, seem to agree." quipped Aedes as she followed Dorthea inside the mall complex, eyeing the many different products being displayed all around them.

"As for my style... hrmmm... lots of blacks, reds, and whites. So I guess I am more into quote on quote Gothic fashion but I am partial to Lolita fashion when looking to expand my wardrobe. The Victorian influences really appeal to me as there is a sort of... regalness behind it." answered Aedes, turning her head back to Dorthea with a smirk evident on her face. "I know... living up to the vampire trope when it comes to attire but... its what looks good on me."

"Anyway, second floor you say? Well since its your favorite why don't we start there?"

Thea tilted her head "Well your praise is appreciated." She was pretty excited about Aedes knowing about her blog, considering she worked very hard on it. Looking around for something new to check out, a lot of the displays were ones she was used to seeing. The other girl's style didn't seem to off from what she assumed the girl liked from observing her dress style. She was all about challenges and trying to find Aedes an outfit she would like, seemed like a tough task. Especially since she used words like regalness and Thea was on a budget with her allowance.

"There's nothing wrong with staying in your comfort zone, besides winter is coming and dark colors are going to be in." Leading Aedes to her favorite store at the mall, it was a small boutique with a different assortment of clothing, a lot of it seemed to fall on the girlie girl side of the clothing spectrum. "I find all my cute skirts, and blouses here. I'm sure we can find something that you like here."

She entered the store scanned for the best place to start, nothing was really jumping out to her but maybe she could find something for Aedes,

"As it should be." flaunted Aedes arrogantly "I give praise only o those clearly earn it. And yes, winter is coming but doesn't mean I won't shy away from showing off a bit a skin. The cold never really bothered me anyway~ Though the summer heat... ick..."

Aedes stuck out her tongue and fanned herself with one of her hands, dramatizing her dislike for the summer climate as she followed closely behind Dorothea. As the two of them walked down together, Aedes couldn't help but window shop ever time she passed by the display windows displaying clothes and accessories. She was so distracted by all of the merchandise that she almost walked passed their intended destination until Dorothea came to sudden stop.

"Oh is this it? It looks like a nice place... it a bit on the brighter side of the color pallet but..." Aedes then shrugs lazily, hold out her hands "I trust you judgement that there is something for me in this store. I could use a new skirt afterall~"

Even as she said that, she wasn't really finding anything that really struck out her either, but it was a decent size store so it was worth going inside and taking more of a look. Between the two of them they were sure to find something!

Thea offered a polite smile “Don’t worry you’ll find something the best place for cute skirts, they always have a decent selection of colors.” She walked straight it waving to the sale associate. This was a store she frequented even if she didn’t have the cash to spend. It was nice to see what she could grab when there was a sale.

She stopped in front of the skirts and began t search for something she thought the girl would like. She wanted to make sure Aedes didn’t look washed out compared to the colors she was wearing. After searching for a few minutes she held up a skirt. “What do you think of this one? Its twenty dollars, but I have an rewards account with store so I have enough poins for ten dollars off a purchase. If you like the skirt we can find a matching top.” She of course was trying to be helpful and if Aedes didn’t like the skirt she was defintely going to get it herself.

Aedes followed closely behind Thea, pursing along the aisles until that fashionista drew her attention to black and purple skirt. As Thea held up the skirt, Aedes gave the article of clothing a scrutinizing look. She reached out, rubbing the end end of the skirt between her fingers. She purses her lips, taking in ample consideration before finally looking to Thea with single affirmative nod.

"This is... acceptable." Aedes then snatches the skirt from Thea, positioning the skirt just in front of her waist to get better idea of how she might look. Looking pleased she looks back up to Thea and smiles "Yeah you know what... I actually like it. It at least doesn't look that cheap considering its only 20 dollars. Anyway, we should find a matching top pronto!"

Aedes then eyes the rest of the skirts for a moment, the looks to Thea and asks "Unless you want to pick up a skirt for yourself real quick. Since we are already."

Thea nodded as Aedes looked over the skirt and then approved. She was a bit worried at first that the girl wouldn't like her selection but her confidence returned. Finding the right kind of top however would probably be difficult. "Oh, no that's fine I'm actually here to pick up some stuff I bought during an online sale. We can just focus on you. I enjoy helping people find clothes in their specific style." She was already off to where the blouses were situated. If she finessed this the right way, she could get Aedes a full outfit shoes included. She didn't need to inform the other girl that this was sort of a game for her. To see how far she could stretch her pocket money, fashion didn't have to break your bank. Especially since she was a bit low on cash since she had ran away from home to live Vatar. The first ten years of her life was spent in a upper class family, and she was still struggling to adjust a bit.

"Would you prefer a grey, purple, or black top? Also long sleeves or short?" She asked frowning as she pushed the hangers around the rack. She was still trying to figure out where they should goo with the skirt as the center piece of the outfit. That meant that the shirt shouldn't take too much attention away from the skirt, in her opinion.
