Valentine's Day? Please, don't remind me.

Cordelia smiled when he came out of the changing room. He did look a lot better than he had looked before. "Good," she said. "Now, go put on your other clothes and I'll pay for those." She smiled again, then waited.

Cordelia smiled softly when she noticed that he was having some difficulty carrying him clothes. "Here, let me take those," she said, doing just that. She walked over to the register again and laid the clothes down, stuffing her hands in her pockets for her wallet.

Once she had paid for the clothes, she took the bag that had them in it and started walking toward the exit of the store, waiting for Tsim to follow. "Anywhere else you want or need to go to?" she asked.

"Alright, if you're sure," Cordelia told him, and started walking back to the academy. If he really wanted something else, then she was sure he would stop her. She wasn't going to ask if he was sure, or wait, or anything, unless he wanted something else.

Cordelia continued walking, but when she noticed that he kept looking up at her, raised an eyebrow. "What?" she asked him quietly. The woman's voice was somewhat rude, but just a tiny bit. It was more confused than unkind.

Cordelia sighed. "That doesn't mean you have to look at the ground," she told him softly, making sure not to sound rude at all this time. "I was just wondering why you kept looking at me, that's all."
