"An outing sounds fun, what's there to see around here?" She asked, smiling lightly and looking over at him.
"An outing sounds fun, what's there to see around here?" She asked, smiling lightly and looking over at him.
Taking a look at the mortal's attire, he hummed to himself. Simple didn't seem to suit her. "How about I take you shopping for a bit, hm? Find something you really like?" the demon offered. With this, she would match the newfound role of his companion to have around. Not as a pet or anything twisted as that. Axtin just felt curious as to what she would appear like in more formal wear.
(what I'm imagining is that usually humans in darker and fancier attire are usually kept safe by demons. Same with lighter attire with angels. Axtin would be one to follow this while Cicada probably would not seeing as she's fine with her companion as is.)
Aria thought for a minute before nodding, "Sure, that sounds fun." She stood up and smiled again, this time her smile big and bright. She walked over to Axtin and waited patiently for him.
(Ok!)
(Yeah, she wouldn't do that.)
Aria thought for a minute before nodding, "Sure, that sounds fun." She stood up and smiled again, this time her smile big and bright. She walked over to Axtin and waited patiently for him.
Standing, he made his way towards the door once again. Axtin opened it with a pleased smile. "After you," he said, holding it open for Aria.
She nodded and walked through the door, smiling as she watched Axin. "I can pay for the clothes if you want," She offered, digging around in her pockets and blushing slightly when she realised she didn't have any money. "Um- well, nevermind.." She continued, looking at the ground.
Axtin couldn't hold in his laughter. It was a cute gesture, but even if she did have money, it wouldn't work in their current situation.
"Your currency isn't used here," he explained after a brief chuckle. "Plus, you're my responsibility now. I should be allowed to treat my guest, shouldn't I?
"I suppose.." Aria said, looking up at him briefly before smiling and looking back at the ground "What is the currency here anyway?" she looked around and started walking in a random direction, completely confused at where they were.
Axtin laced his arm in one of Aria's keeping her on track. She had been walking in the complete opposite direction. He decided not to tease her about it as the surroundings were new. The demon sighed before giving his response.
"It's a tad similar in form, such as coins for instance. They have differently marked sigils representing their worth."
"Is is all coins?" She asked, glancing at Axin's arm but not saying anything. Her mind wandered as she tried to imagine what the money looked like and she smiled as every different coin she thought of became more wild and less coin like.
"Mostly, yes," Axtin replied. He was currently looking forward, paying no mind to Aria's glance at their interlaced arms. After a while there came to be more and more buildings, people milling about. Except they weren't people. They were more demons. Axtin hummed lightly as he lead his guest into one of the buildings. There were a few stares from others as they walked inside, but eventually they went back to their own business.
"Alright, let's see what we've got."
Aria nodded "Is it normal for a human like me to be down here?" She asked, looking at the others that were in the building. She pulled her arm away from Axtin's lightly and started looking around.
"Before the heavy distruction on Earth, no. As of more recent times, a few humans are seen about," Axtin replied, looking at a beautiful black dress with a touch of lace at the rim. Cracking a grin, he turned back to Aria. "Why? Are you nervous about others that aren't me looking at you?" the demon asked teasingly.
She snorted and shook her head "Sure, believe what you want.." There were several dresses that caught Aria's eye but she ignored them, smiling as she looked at Axtin. "Are there any dresses that you want me to try on?"
Axtin raised a brow at the question. It seemed to him that Aria had lost her smart mouth for the moment. It was quite odd. In complete honesty he had just been browsing, unsure of the woman's taste. "I didn't pin you for the type to ask before doing," he stated, expression still confused. He came a bit closer to the human until they were just a foot apart. "What happened to that spunk of yours, hm?" he joked.
"I'm trying to be nice," she said, placing her hands on her hips "But since that's not working, spunk is coming." She gave him a fake sweet smile before grabbing the nearest dress and rolling her eyes. The dress wasn't the worst but it had a deep V neck and it was pretty short, with black and dark blue gradient.
Axtin rolled his eyes at the mortal's response. So much for her "nice" act. The demon really wasn't all too picky in what she picked. As long as it wasn't a pure colored white that those protected by angels wore, it would likely be fine. "Well, go try it on," he stated, making it clear he didn't quite care what she picked. In fact, the dress she was holding might look quite nice.
Aria nodded, grabbing two other dresses, one a scarlet red and one a softer gray and dark blue. She walked to the changing rooms and went inside, making sure the door was shut tightly before she changed into the black and dark blue dress.
Watching as Aria disappeared, he took a seat just a bit away from the dressing rooms. He tapped his fingers lightly against his knee as he waited for the mortal to decide on what she liked. He was actually quite fond of the red color she chose.
Cicada looked over to Nikki, "Do you have any spare clothes? Or do you need me to get you new ones?"
(owo)
Cicada looked over to Nikki, "Do you have any spare clothes? Or do you need me to get you new ones?"
"I have nothing" she replied, looking up at the ceiling idly.
Cicada sat up and sighed, "So I need to get you new ones, okay. Come on little one, let's go get some new clothes."
