Window Shopping

Candle did not enjoy parading around as some... cumbersome meat thing. Yet they cannot show off their fiery form while beyond the veil and thus was required to appear human during their stay in Genoa. While their prime goal was to retrieve Grostman's books hidden away in some church, they had some time to walk around and see the splendor of this historic city be they had to get to their mission at hand.

Candle was trailed close to Monday and Ganymede as they walked city streets. They seemed to have enjoyed being tourist but Candle found the juxtaposition of renaissance buildings and modern architecture a bit jarring. While they and Ganymede looked like any other human, became clear that Candle's choice of apparel made some heads turn as they walked by. At some point a group of unruly men hanging around a street corner took pause in their conversion to watch Candle walk by with lecherous gazes. As they passed, Candle could hear them laugh and banter with each other. While Candle may not have spoken a lick of Italian, it didn't take a genius to figure that they were talking about.

"Uhhgg...." was all the salamander had grumbled, irritated as being seen as some sex object but tries not to show it. Perhaps they should have taken heed to find another pair of clothes for themselves. Something that would garner more respect as powerful salamander deserves. And as if by grand design, they happen to walk just in front of clothing store displaying mannequins in well-dress suits and attire behind a wall of glass. The sight of these clothes caused Candle to stop in their tracks and examine them, half forgetting Monday and Ganymede as they do so.

Candle snapped to attention as Monday called out to them. It was unlike like them to take an interest in something as mundane as clothing and it felt strange to try to explain it. Maybe wearing this human charm was making them have more human-like thoughts or something.

"I am... fine. I just thought to examine these... garments is all." spoke up Candle as they tried to muster and explanation. Ganymede seemed have lit up and to have jumped at the moment about having them get matching clothes. This cause the salamander to pause, unsure how to answer at the moment. They looked to the suits, making out the faint bit of reflection in the glass that just happened to be superimposed on top of the particular suit that had caught their eye.

"I... suppose it would be a matching set." remarked Candle at last, looking back to Monday and Ganymede. Even if they look completely human, they were still as stoic-looking as ever. "I was just thinking that prehaps I should purchase a change in clothing since I appear to be attacting too much... unwanted attention. More so than back on the island strangely enough."

"I suppose you are correct Monday. With everyone looking just about the same even the most minute of differences would be glaring to these folk. Hopefully wearing something different will make me stand out less. Perhaps even respect for once." Spoke Candle as the where being eased indoors.

Monday and Ganymede seemed strangely eager and quick to pull them inside the store. While they didn't share their enthusiasm, they were In some part hopeful that some new clothes will bring some welcome change to their life.

"Yes Ganymede, this will be both pragmatic and... what you call fun as well" said the salamander.

Now inside, Candle casually walks over to the nearest rack and pulled off some cute black jackets. Or at least they think they are cute, they really didn't have a grasp for fashion since they were used to clothes just burning around them.

"Monday, Ganymede, which combination of clothing articles appear most appealing yet inconspicious?" inquired Candle as the pull up various musmatched shirts, jackets, blouses and pants.

(( if any of you have an outfit idea for Candle feel free to describe it in you next post ^_^ ))
