Private Two Friends, the Mall, and a Credit Card, Whatever Could Go Wrong?

Liliana looked at Raella very gratefully and nodded when she asked her if her reputation was still intact. Lily felt extremely grateful to have such a friend. Only KirMir had shown her such unwavering support and consideration.

"I do need a few things," Liliana said with a playful grin of her own. "And I'll only stop you if you help me pick out a nice outfit for a date with KirMir," she said as she mentioned her boyfriend/girlfriend, KirMir.

Liliana laughed at Raella's excited questions while a faint blush tinged her cheeks. "We have been going out for a while now. I met KirMir at the Masqued Halloween ball over a year ago. Kir asked me to dance, and we've been together in one way or another since then," she told Raella.

"And yes, it's for Valentine's. I wanted to do something special for them this year since they have been always so supportive and there for me, and, well, I love them," Liliana admitted, blushing deeply now.

"Uh, no. They don't need to do that..." Liliana chuckled and then lightly squeezed Raella's arm as they walked together through the mall, knowing that she had better explain to her friend about her partner.

"KrMir is very unique. They are two people, Kir who is male, and Mir is female. They are the same person, one soul, but in two different bodies," she explained.

"Outwardly most people think I have a boyfriend and girlfriend, which I kinda do," she grinned, "except whatever I do to one, the other body knows and feels it."

"KirMir was born that way. All the people from where they are from are," she explained, not bothering to explain that they were not from Earth as that would lead to a whole new set of questions. Some of which Liliana, for her own safety, did not have the answer to.

Suddenly, Liliana flushed a deep shade of pink at Raella's teasing. Silently, she did have to admit though that their sex life was extremely fulfilling. Probably more than most people's.

"Let's just say I have no complaints," Liliana laughed, adding afterward and with a real smile. "And that I am luckier than most."

As they looked at a shop that sold pajamas, leisurewear, and women's undergarments, Liliana nodded.

"It's not uncommon, the gender-swapping thing," she said. "I guess it allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds," she joked.

Before Liliana could reply Raella pulled her into the store. Glancing around as she followed her friend, Lily realized that most of the stuff on display was actually kinda nice... in a sexy, but not too outrageous or cheap way.

"I ... I guess," Liliana said as she looked at Raella and then at the set, a little unsure whether or not she'd look good in it or that KirMir would like it. "I have never really bought myself sexy underwear before," she admitted as she picked up a pink lacy lingerie set with tiny bows on the straps.
