From Chronicles
With Amber gone into the changing rooms to try on her next chosen outfit and consider the talk the two have been having, Vixen is casually perusing some of the garments that are nearby. In the way of one who has no plans to buy, but always keeps that possibility open. She leans casually against her umbrella as she fingers one of the tops on the rack, considering the fabric.
The late morning finds Tirzah window shopping. Its clear to tell, she wears the browsing glance that all retailer's despise. Telling from a distance she's quite unlikely to buy anything here. Perusing through the isles she reasons with herself, failing to try and look honestly interested instead of bored.
Vixen picks out a tight little leather something. Strapless, a few glints of metal, though it's a bit too shapeless, even though she tries to figure out just how it should look for a few moments before she shrugs and casually stuffs it back into the rack. She glances back over her shoulder towards the changing rooms a moment, but then shakes her head and scans about the store idly. Picking up on Tirzah after a few moments. She heads over and speaks up before she nears. "You don't look like you're finding what you want."
Tirzah nods shrugging lightly. "I'd have to want something to find it I think. But maybe I have." She adds with a slight smirk as she turns to Vixen. "Good morning, how are you?" She asks simply, the clothes already forgotten as she places her attention on Vixen.
"Doing pretty good, all said," Vixen replies casually. "Just out with a friend, doing a little shopping. Though I have more than enough clothes as it is. She could use more, though. Speaking of which, what do you think?" She lifts her arms slightly, which helps to part her coat a bit more, showing off her new look. "Cold days are getting fewer. One sad thing about a lot of leather, it gets real hot when the temps go up."
Tirzah grins widely checking Vixen out without restraint as she nods. "I bet that made Lamb.. er Leo blush when he first saw it. But it looks great. Wouldn't know much about problems with heat myself." She reminds her fiery charm glittering as she combs her hand through her hair. "All said?" She asks, picking up on the small condition with ease.
Amber bursts out of the changing room with a silly grin on her lips, "What'd'ya think of this?" she asks as she strikes a pose, not knowing there was more than Vix standing in wait. Dressed in a rediculously short skirt and a decidedly trashy, top, she at first grins at her jest, her eyes going wide, and face a little white as she tugs the fabric down at the sight of Tirzah, "Ums, I think i'll try something else," she says, backing up towards the changing stall.
"That's something I wanted to talk to you about," Vixen notes, her casual mood firming up a bit. "Dunno where it came from, don't really care, but can it with the 'lamb' bullshit, alright? Way I see it.." She pauses then as Amber bursts into the moment. She turns and grins lightly at the look that she's got going. As the young woman starts to back up, Vixen moves forward smoothly. "Hey hey.. c'mere.." She will look to snag Amber's arm and draw her over to the mirror they were using be fore. "Not before you get a look at it. You tell me what you think about it," she prompts. The moment before left for the moment as she shifts focus fully to Amber.
Turning with the outburst Tirzah is not shocked at all to see another revealing outfit after taking in Vixens. Though the reaction of the wearer raises her brow. "Well before you realized I was here it looked great, an outfit of great power and influence.But if you let a simple stranger shatter that presence miss, well you wont get to have as much fun no matter what you wear." She notes with a sly smile. Though that flattens with Vixens request, considering that she remains silent as they work out the outfit.
Amber allows herself to stand before the mirrors, face reddening a bit more as she tries to squirm the skirt down just a tad, her eyes finding Tirzah's in the Reflection in the mirror, "It was just sorta a joke, I couldn't," she clears her throat "I could never wear something like this out, I'm pretty sure you can see my butt!" she looks over at Vixen and shrugs, "I guess I do have a limit to how much I want to be noticed, and the notice this would give me is that limit" She turns slowly, taking in her bottom in the mirror before shaking her head, "I'm pretty sure this is NOT me."
Vixen nods her head slightly. "Pretty much the same for me. Considering you got a boy you got your eyes on, the kind of attention this would draw is just not something you need right now. If you were a party girl looking for the eye of every guy out there.. different story. Though.. you might consider getting it for him. Remember what I said about having special things. That's one way you make your man feel special is by having some things that are only for him." She takes a step back, letting Amber do as she will now. "Looks like it 'fits' right though. As much as it's meant to fit that is." Her tone softly amused.
Tirzah nods slightly, understanding. "Jokes can be fun, a glimpse of what you might be with a different outlook. Can even enlighten one to new outlooks." She notes, the end of which seaming to shift to them both from Amber. And yes, Vixen's quite right. Don't look for something to catch anyone's notice, look for something that will catch his, something he can recognize at a glance, something he favors." She suggests with a slight smile.
"Ha! I'm not sure I'm ready for a ball gown, which is exactly what he'd no doubt like to see me in." she wiggles in the mirror, her head tilting as she reconsiders her outfit, shifting subtly before grinning, "Until I teach him otherwise I guess?" she says, almost a question as she lets her head tilt the other way, her hips moving in the opposite direction. She catches the eyes of both women in the mirror before she moves back over to the stall, "Let me see what else I have in here, sorry I interrupted you guys!" she closes the door, skirt dropping to her ankles as she chooses the next outfit to try on.
"Yes, the long, slow training process," Vixen agrees with Amber casually, still lightly amused. She lets Amber get back into the changing rooms before she looks back towards Tirzah, her smile dropping to a straighter line. "LIke I was saying, he doesn't need that kinda stuff. He had it in his head that he had to impress people. And your 'lamb' crap was one thing he mentioned." She faces Tirzah, arms lightly crossed.
Tirzah shrugs, not appearing to follow exactly where Vixen is seeming to take offense. "Really, from what I understood, I didn't think you cared. But its moot really. Lambert, Leonard, may be sheepish, but he's a lion. He showed that the other day. And though I don't know where he got the idea he has to impress people, he sure impressed me that day. So no, I dont think of him as prey any more, even if Sage still practices a bit on him." She says calmly, casually crossing her arms behind her back.
The changing room door opens once more and out steps Amber, more modestly dressed in lightweight, layered skirt that reaches down to about mid-thigh, a strappy shirt, tight around the midsection, on top. She already seems pleased, and walks easily up to the mirror as she she gives herself a little shake, watching the skirt flare up and back when her hips move, "I think I really like this!" she says, looking down at hear self. She turns to face the two of you, her expression melting away a bit as she takes in the look on Vixen's face, causing her to turn her back once more, her eyes on herself in the mirror.
"I care because he's mine," Vixen states simply. "And the high he got of whatever he did had him starting to act like an ass. Which got reined in pretty quick. But as long as you're not doing that no more, we've got no beef. Though if you want to know the why when it comes to Leo, maybe you ought to get to know him more than on the surface. Amazing what you learn by doing that." And just like that she turns back around to go to Amber, an easy smile slid back into place. Nothing at all wrong here. "That's looking pretty good," she murmurs, closing in to start her picking and inspecting. "Though you know.. maybe it's planning a bit too much ahead, but what have you got under it, Amber?" She cocking her head to the side a bit to glance towards her face. "He might be all proper and slow as it goes now.. but once you get him focused on your body, you're gunna want him to like what he finds when he unwraps you." A sly little grin worn.
Tirzah smirks, Vixens word lashings bouncing off as she slowly shakes her head. "Wow, he's yours. When all this was happening, I don't think he knew that. But you know that, you had that heart to heart, and your still trying. Kudos to you both. But do tell me why any of that makes you try to attack me with claims of ignorance? It just doesn't seem to add up to me, I play a minor part and call him a lamb a few times. But I'm friendly, understanding and I listen to what he tells me. I don't jump to conclusions just offer a few varied interpretations. Perhaps partly from those, probably form those and many other influence he gets more assertive. You weren't expecting it I understand but that's life, its up to you to adapt Vixen. Don't hold me accountable, there are at least two other parts being played." Then she sighs lightly, sounding bored again. "Now excuse me ladies, I didnt want to interrupt your shopping with old news, maybe I'll go see if Zachary is about the garage and talk with him."
Amber watches the two from their reflections, her intial excitement fading a bit as the mood starts to change, her brow furrowing at the mention of Zach, lips pulled tight as she tries her best to avoid being caught staring daggers at Tirzah, her comment striking some insecure nerve that is only exasperated by an earlier conversation, "I'm sure I can find something Zachary would be interested." she says matter of factly, marking her territory, in her mind.
Vixen glances at Tirzah as she speaks shaking her head s lightly. "Didn't you just hear me say I got no beef with you? When I say it, I mean it. So relax." The rest of it left unfocused on. "You can go if you want, but no one is telling you to." She then looks to Amber. "Well, if you're done with the clothes, we can spruce up your unmentionables." Her own tone casual on the point. "They might even have some of the more advanced styles.. I don't know if either of you are ready for that, though."
Tirzah pauses her turn at Amber's mention of Zachary. A slight smile forming she turns back and looks over the girl once more. "You're after Zachary?" She asks simply. "I'm Tirzah." She suddenly introduces herself, extending her hand to the girl. She nods slightly to Vixen with a slightly wary glance during the introduction. No beef accepted.
"I'd say I've got him" Amber says defiantly, taking a few steps Tirzah's way as she extends her hand, eyes only slightly narrowed, "We've been dating for little while now, I'm Amber" she this matter of factly, smiling once more, allowing her hand to be shook or not before she goes to change, and gather up what she wants, "I think i have enough here for now, I think I'm ready for whats next." deep breath, another glance in the mirror, and she's back in the dressing room.
Vixen seems amused at Amber's demeanor, her prior firmness of mood evaporated to leave her without a care in the world on the outside. In the end, as the two are introduced and Amber goes back to the changing rooms, Vixen notes, "Tirzah's not competition. Trust me." And she seems pretty confident in that general statement. "I'll be here when you get out, then we can get naughty." Her expression still amused when she looks back to Tirzah, a brow lifted subtly. "You know her boy?" Asked casually once Amber is away.
Tirzah shrugs looking back to Vixen as Amber retreats back into the change room. "He's an associate I guess. I'm working with him on a venture for a tw device to tap arcane energies and make food or shelter for folks." She explains simply, resting her hands in her pockets while they what for Amber.
Amber emerges from the changing room back in her long skirt and knee-socks, very little skin showing from the waist down once more, looking much more conservative now, the clothes she's chosen clutched to her chest. "I'm ready, I think!" she declares, smiling.
Vixen nods her head, casually thoughtful on that. "Shy one, apparently. But he sounds like a good, safe sort of boy by her description." Discreet words before Amber comes back. Amber's return met with a casual grin and a motion towards the section of the outlet that holds their next destination. "We'll see if you are soon enough," she replies. A glance towards Tirzah extending the invitation to her as well. Just like the rest of the store, the lingerie section of this store is as broadly stocked, from conservative to risque, with no partition for the less decent articles. Another set of enclosed changing rooms are present here, with a small mirror room in the enclosed portion. For privacy.
Tirzah follows oblivious to the lingerie and perhaps the invitation as well. "Shy? Maybe, we never talked like that. He's certainly proper. Raised with the ideals of mannerisms to extremes. I think he almost lost his lunch on our trip when dispatched a threat." She remarks, casually tactless. Looking about she then notices the Lingerie and looks again at Amber. "I hope you're wrong about him being shy." She notes, not seeing good paths from this.
Amber lets her eyes bounce from item to item, her face contorting in confusion more than once as she tries to puzzle out how a few of the items might be worn, "He's shy, but I think its only because he's not had someone to help him unlock his unshyness. Do you think he won't like this?" she looks over at Tirzah, left eyebrow slightly arched, "Maybe something with a tad more fabric?" she says, replacing an item she's given up trying to identify.
"I think you shouldn't worry too much about anything more than some flattering panties and a bra.. if you like to wear them." Vixen grins lightly, motioning towards where those articles are. "Maybe after you loosen him up a bit, you can consider what you want to wear to entice him. Right now, a lacy little something would be good, since it won't only be nice for him to find should he get bold, but it feels good to wear."
Tirzah considers the lingerie and amber again, nodding at Vixens suggestion. "Could get stockings and a garter too. Just aim formal styles, lacy, bridal even. Maybe even a white corset if its tasteful." She muses, wandering slowly through the racks.
Amber looks through some of the more conservative matching sets, occassionally holding something up to herself, "How do I know what these are going to look like? People don't try these on, do they? And i'm not really sure what size I am." she looks up at the two women for help, "I've never really had to do this before." she looks around, seeming to brighten at the idea of something more formal, the corsett she spots in particular sparks her imagination, "I think he might like that, formal, covering, yet sexy, not too skimpy!" she seems excited.
"I'll help you find a size, I know clothes," Vixen offers. "And you should try 'em on, cause clothes like these only look good if they fit. White is good, so is black or red." She comes up to Amber and, quite casually, starts to 'feel her up', getting a sense for her body shape. "Mmnn.. alright, hold on.." And she starts to pick around. "Corsets can be revealing, but I assume you were taking about a full overbust corset?" She glances towards Tirzah. Picking out a white and black one that aren't too fancy or plain. She glances towards Amber. "What sort of pattern on the stockings.. if any? Hearts?" She grins lightly.
Tirzah nods absently to Vixen before she holds up one that looks perfect to her. "Of course, like this one." She says making a sweeping gesture top to bottom as she holds it up for both to see.
Amber quickly finds a few things she likes, seeming to settle on the corset and garter style for her first foray into lingerie, and seeming much more relaxed than when she first did coming over here. She takes 4 options, and runs into the dressing room, changing quickly as she comes out in the first option Tirzah Suggested, looking a little shy, a little red, but smiling, and trying to be confident. "well?"
Vixen will relinquish the two corsets she picked out, taking time while Amber is in the change room to get a few varieties of stockings.. about the right size. Two plain, black and white and a third pair that are red, with little hearts. She will look to Tir. "Garters?" Once she has those offerings, she'll move into the enclosed area for lingerie try ons, laying down the packaged stockings. When Amber emerges, she grins lightly and closes in when asked. "Not too shabby.." She tugs here and there, testing the fit. "Looks like about the right size.. maybe a bit smaller, but this would do, I think." She motions to the mirror. "What do you think?"
Tirzah smirks, nodding with approval. "The blushing bride incarnate, it suits you, casts your presence wonderfully." She notes though her glances may betray how jealous she is of Amber's exceptionally feminine figure. "Try this for a more casual occasion." She suggests, distracting herself from staring by handing over a white bodysuit.
