Kanone looked back to Aamori again and grinned when she said so he was making her carry it. "That shirt looks pretty funny without it." he said simply. After all that particular rope went with that shirt, it wasn't just a random piece of rope, and he would have looked pretty funny with a golden rope hanging off of him for no particular reason. He shrugged when she asked if he was going to be alright walking back without his shirt. "I guess so. So long as I don't get mauled by pretty girls I should be fine." he teased. He glanced over to Hikari when he heard her yelp again and then shook his head. "...I think your buddy is getting eaten over there..." he sighed slightly and then shook his head. "You know...that was a little overboard, Aamori." he said quietly, "It's not like she was trying to drench us. I'd be pretty pissed off too if I had those little buggers snapping down all over me. You really thinks he wants to walk back looking like that any more than you did?" He grinned slightly, "Not that I really mind two pretty girls nearly exposed, but still..." he said with a grin.

Hikari sighed heavily when she felt Kyran grab her hand and put it back to her side, though by the time he started rubbing her arm she'd already crossed them again. She just looked up at him with that agitated expression on her face, though her eyes were still nearly watering. For one, that really hurt, and for another she was now standing there with a sore tail, sore ear, in a soaking wet outfit that everyone could see right through knowing she was going to have to walk back to the training building like that, right through the marketplace where anyone and everyone could see her, and unfortunately Kyran's vest wasn't long enough to cover much other than her chest. "It's not just the crab, and you know it..." she muttered before she finally got around to opening his vest and slipping her arms into it before buttoning the two buttons closest to her bust and then crossing her arms back over it again. She was obviously extremely frustrated with the whole situation by now. "Should have stuck to the park..." she muttered under her breath. He was pretty much just pissed that the crabs had to go and spoil the fun...or well her fun. She was sure the others probably got a kit out of her running in circles with a couple of crabs on her tail.

Nanashi smiled weakly when LaRae said that she never wanted to feel that pain again. "...I know..." he whispered softly. He combed his fingers down through her hair again and then blinked when he heard the next thing that she said. He froze for a moment and then relaxed against her and nuzzled his head against hers. "...I'm glad..." he said quietly, "...I didn't want to feel it either." He opened his eyes again and then pressed his lips lightly against LaRae's forehead again. In all honestly he didn't think death was such a bad thing. It was painful to the ones left behind but it was a worm of freedom for the ones who had died. Still he didn't want to be the one left behind again.

Aamori finished wringing out her hair as best she could and then tossed it over her shoulder before glancing back to Kanone. "I don't think you have anything to worry about. Pretty girls here don't exactly go flocking towards boys who are soaked head to toe and smell of the ocean." She with a quiet chuckle. She turned her head slightly to look over at Hikari when she heard her yelp again and then looked back to Kanone after his comment. "...No, I don't think she's gotten a hold of the poor crab yet." She shook her head lightly. "Oh wait.. you meant Hikari." She paused. "I'd assume the crabs like how shiny she is." She couldn't really think of any other reason that the crabs would be going after her like they were. Usually they left you alone unless you stepped on them or made the hole they were trying to come out of cave in. Even then they really didn't bother you very much. She gave a heavy sigh the moment she heard Kanone start on her about what she'd done. She must have really done something uncalled for if it was enough to turn him serious on her. Well that seriousness was short lived thanks to his last comment. "I didn't think about it before I reacted. I was angry and reacted to that before anything else." She paused and shrugged a little. "Apparently I didn't want to walk home all exposed like that, alone." She muttered. She sighed and looked back over to Hikari for a moment before starting to inch in that direction. She guessed the least she could do to try and make up for her not thinking things through again was offer Hikari a way out of her wet clothes. When she made it over closer she still kept a decent distance from Hikari. "......Hikari." She paused. "...The place where I got my dress ...it isn't far ...if you'd like you can borrow something ...since you've got nothing to wear." She was well aware that Hikari's other set of clothes were either waiting to be washed or in the process of and she was wearing the only other thing she had. Whereas, she had plenty to wear once she got back to the building. A closet full of identical clothes to be exact.

Kyran stared at her for a moment before shaking his head and pulling his arm back to rest at his side. His ears fell back slightly at her expression. He sighed after hearing say that it wasn't just the crab and then looked away while she finally got around to putting the vest on. "Yeah... I know..." He said quietly. He glanced down at his shirt for a moment and started to pull it up from his pants so that it was no longer tucked in. His t-shirt was considerably longer than his vest and it would cover more of her, at the very least it should cover half of the lower part of her body. He pinched part of his shirt and pulled it out a little before glancing back over to her. "...Would you like my t-shirt?" He asked just before Aamori had started to make her way over to them. When Aamori reached them and wound up asking if she wanted to borrow something wear he shifted his glance slightly. Well at least she was trying to make up for what she did by offering a way out of walking back to the training building embarrassed. If Aamori had really wanted to be mean she could've just started back to the building without a word to her.

LaRae opened her eyes slowly then took her hand back from his and moved it to press against his chest for a moment. She tightened her hand a little on the fabric of the shirt he was wearing and then tried to snuggle a little closer to him, if that was even possible. She laid there quietly for a few moments before opening her mouth to speak. "...You're supposed to be resting..." She commented quietly. He was supposed to be resting and she doubted serious conversation like this was helping, not to mention she was kind of ready to drop the topic. She'd thought about it plenty for today.

Kanone chuckled when she said that the girls didn't go flocking after guys in his current condition. "Well damn...guess I'll be fine then." He half smiled and then shook his head after she'd said that she didn't want to walk back like that alone. "Now did you really think I was going to stand by and let you walk all the way back like that? I'd have to beat the drooling guys off with a stick." he said with a chuckle. He watched as she started to move toward Hikari and then smiled and waited where he stood, simply crossing his arms over his chest again. He sighed and shook out his feet a little before rolling his eyes slightly. "Mmm...lovely..." he muttered quietly, seeing as his shoes were full of water. Well...he guessed he'd have to dry those out later.

Hikari sighed quietly and then glanced back up the beach again where they had left their boots and then sighed again and looked back to Kyran when he asked if she wanted his shirt. She just stared at him for a moment and was just about to open her mouth to answer when Aamori spoke. She turned to look at her when she said her name, unwittingly issuing her a rather dirty look at first. Her face softened a little when she heard the offer and after a few minutes she sighed softly and closed her eyes. "...I guess so..." she said simply. She was almost afraid to think of what Aamori was going to stick her in, but she guessed she could live with it for a little while. As long as she wasn't really showing anything she guessed it didn't really matter. She still obviously wasn't too happy, but by now she was at least putting forth the effort of trying to hide how steamed she was. She was still pretty red in the face, but eh color was slowly starting to fade. After all, Kanone and Kyran and both already seen her and she was covered about as well as she could be for now, so there wasn't much else she could do about it.

Nanashi blinked when he felt her pull her hand away and then glanced down the best that he could as she pressed her hand against his chest. He smiled slightly and then looked back to her face again. He sighed softly when she said that he was supposed to be resting. "...Yeah...yeah....I know..." he said quietly. He let her get snuggled in and then slipped his other arm beneath her and tightened his grip on her a little while he nuzzled his face against her hair slightly. He closed his eyes lightly with another soft sigh and then tried to relax. He was tired before so once they actually stopped talking and he was comfortable it didn't take him long to fall asleep again.

Aamori had expected the dirty look she got and actually, she'd expected a little more of an upset reaction out of her like when she put everyone's life in jeopardy just to get across the water a night so no one had to sleep in the sand. She smiled slightly when Hikari answered with 'I guess so'. That was a relief. She didn't have any other ideas if Hikari had said no to her. She sighed softly and glanced to Hikari. "Sanura makes a lot of clothes for me... so there will be a few things to pick from." She said quietly and then turned slightly. "...Whenever you're ready.. I guess.." She added and then started to walk back over towards Kanone. She shifted her destination slightly and stepped over to put her sandals on and pick up her bag. She stared down at her bag for a moment. She guessed if Hikari wanted she could carry the bag to try and cover herself a little more. It was a decent sized cloth bag considering everything that was inside. Now that she had her things she went back over to Kanone and sighed again. "We're going back to Sanura's for a few minutes." She paused. "To get something dry for Hikari to wear." She informed him in case he hadn't been able to overhear their conversation.

Kyran was kind of glad to hear Hikari accept Aamori's offer. He thought it was a good thing that Aamori had come over like she had to try and offer up a solution. He really wasn't looking forward to being around Hikari while she was fuming like she had been. Her being angry and upset was definitely much different than her being her usual happy self. He gave a slight nod when he heard Aamori say whenever they were ready. Well, he was ready to go though he couldn't say the same for Hikari. He looked down to her smiled weakly. "...While we're walking ...you could try covering yourself with your tail." He paused. "..Or I can carry you if you like." It was obvious that she was still uncomfortable with being exposed even in the slightest so he wanted to offer some solution until they could get to this place Aamori was going to take them to.

Hikari sighed again when she said whenever they were ready. She watched Aamori walk off and then glanced back to Kyran again when he offered to carry her. Her face only tinted a few more shades of red and she glanced away again. "...Not this time..." she muttered so quietly she was probably barely even audible. She didn't really want to be carried, that would only cause even more people to look...as would holding her sparkly damn tail in front of her. She sighed and started back up the beach toward her boots again and picked them up , though rather than put them back on she jute folded the cloth over her arms and let them hand in front of her. She didn't want to put them back on right now anyway with her feet wet and covered in sand so they'd work find for covering the front, her hair and wings did a fine job of hiding the back so long as she wind didn't blow too hard and with Kyran's fest holding her hair down in place she didn't think it would be too much of an issue.

Kanone was just standing there waiting for everyone to get ready, though he glanced back to Aamori when she said that they were going back to Sanura's again. He smiled slightly and then chuckled softly, "Poor old woman's going to get sick of us eventually." he said playfully. He shook his head slightly and then glanced back to Kyran and Hikari again in time to see Hikari trying to hide behind her boots. He sighed softly, almost wishing he had another shirt that he could have offered her or something. She still looked like she wanted to dig a hole and crawl in it right now. After a moment he glanced away and then started up the beach again. He doubted that him looking at her helped any, though he doubted that she even noticed considering how well her eyes were glues to the ground

Kyran sighed quietly when he barely heard a response out of her. He couldn't make out what she had said but judging by the way she was acting and the fact that she'd started to walk away he guessed that his answer was a no. He gave a slight shrug and then started after her so that he could get his own boots. Just like her, he really didn't want to put them back on right now since his feet were covered by sand since they were still kind of wet. When he reached his boots he knelt down long enough to gather the laces and tie them together. As he stood up he set his boots over his shoulder so that they'd hang evenly and he wouldn't have to carry them in his hands. He sighed softly and glanced over to Hikari. He wished that there was something that he could do to change her mood. He didn't care for the mood she was in right now and he'd even settle for her worrying about something so long as she wasn't, well, like this. He was pretty sure he understood well enough why, regardless, he wished there was some way to fix it now. He also had a pretty good feeling that she may not want to come back to beach for a little while. Being attacked by crabs on your first outing, not very memorable in the right way and certainly not very fun. He moved closer to her and set his hand down on her shoulder lightly. "I know you'll worry anyway... but Aamori said it isn't far and worst case scenario if anyone's looking at you and it bothers you, I can run you back to the training building." He said trying to assure her that he'd try to do what he could to make her a little more comfortable. He wouldn't go so far as to beat guys off with a stick, but he would move her at least.

Aamori smiled a little and shook her head. "Just don't ever call Sanura old to her face." She chuckled quietly. "She may be old but she's still a lady and she doesn't like to be reminded of her age... and I don't want to be picking you up off the floor as a result of you calling her old." She shifted her glance back to check on Hikari and Kyran and see how far along they were. "I don't plan on staying at Sanura's quite as long as we were there earlier. Just long enough for Hikari to get into something dry and then we'll leave. Sanura has work to be doing and she can't very well do it if we keep showing up." She said as she looked back at Kanone. She had noticed Hikari trying to cover herself with her boots and sighed softly. She probably could fork over Kanone's shirt to her since she was having trouble with things to use to cover up. If she did, then Hikari would be covered and then she could probably just wrap her wings around her. They did come forward enough that she could wear them like a closed cape but she wasn't sure they'd cover everything. She gave a heavier sigh and shook her head lightly. If she knew she was going to feel a little bad for what she had done she might not have done it at all even if for a brief moment soaking Hikari had made her feel a heck of a lot better. She continued to stand there for a moment longer before she turned and started to make her way off of the beach and towards the path before the docks. When she reached the path she scurried over to the dock and went to talk to the guard through the gate. Of course having to dig her clothes out of her bag so that she could show him the Elder symbol. She really did look like a common girl without her staff or any symbols on her clothes so the guard wasn't even going to speak to her unless she had to pass through the gate. She briefly asked the guard to send Zale to the training building when he came back to this port. When she was done she turned back around to see if everyone was off the beach yet so they could continue.

Hikari barely watched Kyran while he got his boots together, though she did finally glance up when she felt his hand on her shoulder. She sighed quietly and nodded weakly before she leaned her head over against his arm and gave it a light nuzzle before she straightened up again. She offered him a weak smile and then finally started up the beach again, though rather slowly. She wasn't in any big hurry to get where anyone else could see her at the moment. She glanced over to the docks when she saw Aamori head off in that direction and then sighed again and glanced back down to the sand. She still didn't seem to be in much of a talking mood. She knew Kyran was trying to help but it would just be awkward having him carry her like this.

Kanone half smiled at Aamori and shook his head. "Do I look that stupid?" he asked with a slight laugh when she told him not to call her old to her face. He had been around women long enough to know how they were about their age, even if they didn't really show it. He paused once they'd gotten to the path and watched Aamori scurry off toward the dock to talk to the guard, assuming she was asking if she could borrow Zale for a little while. He rolled his eyes slightly when he saw that she had to dig her clothes out just to get the guy to talk to her and then glanced away again. He looked back to Hikari and offered her a slightly smile since she was finally getting caught up to him. "It's not that bad now, you can't really see anything." he tried to tell her. He blinked when he finally noticed the gem in the middle of her forehead and then tilted his head to the side slightly. "...Stupid question....how in the heck does that thing stay on?"

Hikari looked up and smiled weakly when Kanone told her that it wasn't that bad now though she looked rather confused when he asked how 'that thing' stayed on. She stared at him and then realized that he was looking at her forehead. She sighed and raised her hand to her head to try to pull her now wet and curling blangs down over it again, though they weren't enough to hide it at the moemnt. "Very carefully..." she said simply as she shook her head. "It's implanted."

"Ooooow..." he said, making a face. That sounded....just a little painful to him. He didn't know what anyone would want to do that for. Then again why was she trying to cover it up after she went through having it implanted in her head? He sighed and glanced back toward Aamori again to see if she was coming or not.

Kyran smiled when she leaned her head against his arm and gave a light nuzzle. Hopefully her mood would turn around a little once she was in some dry clothes. When she started to walk again he followed even if she was moving slowly. Once they made it closer to Kanone he glanced towards the market district to see how crowded it was. It didn't seem quite as bad as it was before. They had been going through there right around the lunch hour and it seemed to have quieted down a little. His attention shifted back to Hikari and Kanone when he caught what they were talking about. Hearing Hikari say it was implanted reminded him about the gem in her forehead. Since he already knew what it was and what it meant he guessed it didn't phase him that much when it was showing. Either that or he just hadn't been paying attention to it. He looked to her forehead to see how easy it was to see the gem and sighed softly. Unfortunately he didn't really have anything that she could use to cover that up so it looked like she was going to have to wait until her hair had dried.

Aamori headed back over to them seeing as they were off the beach now. She shifted the bag slightly and then paused once she reached them. She glanced back towards the dock and stared for a moment. She really did hope that Zale came back to this side soon and sometime when he could be given instructions without Celestine catching on to what was happening. It'd spoil all of the fun if he caught on before anything was accomplished. She turned her attention back to the others, assuming that they were ready to go. "...Follow me." She said and then started to walk back towards the market district. She wanted to get back to Sanura's as quickly as possible to try and spare Hikari some embarrassment. Even though Aamori was covered up she was aware of how embarrassing it could be walking somewhere even slightly exposed. After all she had walked from the lake back to Kanone's house in nothing more than her top and panties that one night. Granted, it was late out and she was pretty sure she'd made it from point A to point B without being seen but it was still embarrassing. She didn't bother stopping when she reached the market district, instead she just slipped right in through a couple of people and started for Sanura's shop.

Kyran shifted his glance over to Aamori when she came back over and gave a slight nod when she said 'follow me'. He watched as she immediately started to head back towards the market district. He momentarily looked back to Hikari to see if she was ready to go. Though it looked like if she wasn't ready to go then Aamori was liable to leave them all behind. Of course he'd wait until Hikari started walking and then follow after her.

Aamori hurried along weaving through people until she finally spotted Sanura's shop. It really wasn't that far from the main path, especially if you were walking a little faster then normal. Since she was focused on where she was headed she really wasn't paying attention to anyone who could've been looking at her. However, should she have been left without Kanone's shirt she probably would've been returning the glances of just about every person that looked in her direction. Once she reached Sanura's shop she put her hand on the door and started to push it open a little so they could go inside then finally thought to glance back to see if she'd lost anyone.

Hikari gave up shortly of trying to hide it with her hair again and just sighed softly. Well...at least she doubted too many people around here would know what it meant even if they did see it. Kanone obviously had no idea...or just didn't care either way. She glanced back to Aamori when she came back and then took a deep breath when Aamori said 'follow me' and she saw how fast she was moving. Well...at least they'd get there fast at that rate. She started after her, almost scurrying to keep up with her, though she kept her eyes down on Aamori's feet and tried not to look around at all. She didn't want to even know if anyone was looking and already the color had returned to her face once they hit the market place. She didn't stop until Aamori did, though she had almost lost her a couple of times and had to glance up to make sure she was still following the right person. "...Is this it?" she asked quietly once they'd gotten there.

Kanone smiled slightly at Aamori when she came back and then turned around to start after her. He blinked as he watched her scurry off and then shook his head as he hurried after her. "Geez, speed devil." he said with a half smile. He glanced back to Hikari a couple of times since he already knew how to get there and it seemed Aamori wasn't waiting up. He tried to stay close to Hikari and kind of obscure the view at least a little from some angles. He sighed once they got to the store again and wrapped his arms back around himself again. He was still kind of chilly, especially now that he was in the shade of the building and didn't have the sun on him anymore. He waited until Aamori had the door open and then glanced to Hikari with a nod before he scurried through the door, trying to escape the wind chill and hoping it was a little warmer in here.

Kyran was a little caught off guard just by how quickly Aamori was moving. He'd seen her scurry off pretty fast towards the market but she still kept her pace through the people. She was usually a bit of a klutz so the fact that she'd managed to keep her balance the whole time was probably what surprised him the most. He had no trouble keeping pace and he followed behind Hikari the whole way. When Aamori stopped in front of one the shops and opened the door he watched Kanone go in and then started over to put his arm up so that he could hold the door open while Hikari and Aamori got inside.

Aamori nodded in response to Hikari's question. "Yeah, this is it." She said and then set her hand on Hikari's shoulder and gently pushed her inside while following directly after her since Kyran had put his arm out to hold the door open. Now that she was here she was a little glad that she hadn't tripped at all while she was hurrying along. The last thing she would've needed was for her klutziness on land to kick in and her to fall flat on her face in a crowd of people all the while trying to lead the way to Sanura's shop. Now that she was inside she removed her hand from Hikari's shoulder and stepped around her. She moved over to Kanone and glanced at him briefly. "See... I told you that you wouldn't get mauled." She commented quietly with a chuckle before she started to glance around a little for Sanura. She didn't appear to be in the room so she was probably upstairs. She started to step over to the door that lead to the hall and just as she did she heard the storage room door open.

Sanura stepped out of the storage room with a small box in her hands. She glanced up, a little startled at first seeing so many people in the shop at once. She walked over to the counter and set the box down before looking around at the bunch. Of course she knew Aamori and recognized Kanone from earlier but she didn't know the other two. She watched for a moment as the Thunder dragon stepped inside and pulled the door shut and then she cast her glance back to Aamori with a questioning look on her face. She really was curious as to what had happened considering the state everyone seemed to be in, but then again with so much water around here it didn't take too much get an idea. She started to walk over to Aamori and sighed softly. "It's nice to see you two so soon." She paused and shook her head lightly after reaching her hand out to feel the sleeve of the dress Aamori was wearing. "Did you really have to get it soaked already? You haven't even been wearing it that long..." She asked quietly and then glanced over to Kanone. "...And it seems somewhere on your little escapade Kanone lost his shirt to you, Aamori." She said with a quiet laugh. She shook her head a little and then glanced to the other two for a moment before returning her attention to Aamori. "...So what can I do for you this time?"

Hikari stepped through the door once Aamori put her hand on her shoulder and started to push, though she didn't really need too much encouragement. She sighed softly and then scooted over with her back to the wall while continuing to hold her boots in place. Well at least the walk had given her legs time to dry and knocked most of the sand off of her feet so she could put those back on sometime soon. She was a little more at ease now that she was inside and away from most people. She was relieved to see that the owner of this shop was a woman, though she had assumed before hand that it was when she heard the name. She glanced over to Aamori briefly when Sanura started talking asking what she could do for them. She didn't bother to say a word just yet...she was just going to let Aamori do the talking.

Kanone just grinned at Aamori as he stood off to the side of the door and waved his hand when she commented about him not getting mauled. "Yep, point taken." he said simply. He watched as she started forward and then smiled when he saw Sanura come into the room and he raised one hand in greeting before he crossed his arm back over his chest with the other one again. He laughed weakly, looking a little embarrassed when she commented about his losing his shirt to Aamori. "Beats the alternative." he said simply. He wouldn't have wanted to walk with her all the way back the way she had been before...he could imagine that wouldn't have been very pleasant. He sighed softly and ran his hand back through his hair again since a few wet strands had fallen in his face. So much for the fit he was throwing earlier...his hair didn't get to stay up any longer than that dress got to stay dry and he wasn't about to even try anything with it while it was wet like this; he'd just pull half of it out.

Aamori sighed softly and looked at Sanura after she had come over and started asking questions. "The dress getting soaked was an accident." She paused. "I wouldn't purposely go fall in the ocean in something you just gave me." She said with a nod. She glanced back towards Hikari for a moment and then looked at Sanura again. "Anyway, I was wondering if I could get my hands on another outfit. Hikari's clothes are soaked too and well... Kanone's kind of out of shirts to spare." She explained. "...I promise, this one will be taken care of better..." She added lastly and hoped Sanura was in a giving mood. She knew Sanura didn't usually like to give her more than one outfit at a time when she came because she was well aware that Hisako would probably have the outfit thrown out once Aamori returned home. She hoped since the outfit would be on Hikari rather than herself that Sanura would say yes.

Sanura smiled lightly at Kanone and gave a slight nod. "Well at least Aamori's found a boy with a few gentlemanly qualities." She said since she picked up on the likely reason that Aamori ended up with his shirt. She turned her attention back to Aamori when she started to bring up the other girl and her clothes. She heard her out and then sighed quietly. Ordinarily she would have turned Aamori's request down since she had already taken a dress but she couldn't just turn the other girl away with her clothes the way they were. "You know I don't usually let you have anything else... but all things considered." She paused and motioned her hand towards the door to the stairs. "Go ahead and try to get her changed into something dry." She glanced back to Aamori briefly. "Everything up there was made specifically to fit you so make sure you get something that will fit her well enough." She paused. "And don't tear apart that room looking through the clothes again." She said as she shook her head lightly and started to walk back over to the counter.

Aamori stared at Sanura for a moment when she responded to Kanone and then looked away rather quickly. Why did that have to sound the way it did? At any rate, she was glad to hear Sanura was going to let her take something else. She sort of thought she might since it was for Hikari. She smiled slightly and nodded. "Thanks Sanura." She paused. "And I won't leave the room a mess this time." She said quietly, a little embarrassed that she had to go and say that. She wasn't going to mess the room up this time at least because she had seen most of the clothes already so it wasn't like she had to go pulling everything out like before. She set the bag down on the floor where she was standing and then started to inch closer to the door that went upstairs and looked over to Hikari. "It's this way..." She said as she opened the door and then started to head up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was a small hall with three doors. All were shut, at least until she opened the one on the left and stepped inside, headed straight over to the closet to start fishing through the outfits. She knew Hikari was taller than her and a little larger in chest so she wanted to find something that wouldn't be too short on her and not too incredibly tight across the chest. She remembered seeing something that she thought might work, now she just had to locate it without just yanking things out of the closet.

Kanone just smiled slightly and then glanced away with a light pink shade creeping to his cheeks. Well, his mother would have been glad to hear that. She was always badgering him before about being more gentlemanly. In all honestly, he wasn't usually the gentlemanly type. The ladies first rule didn't apply with him, obviously, nor did many others, but he did at least try to be halfway decent. After all...he could have kept his shirt and let her march back with her arms crossed over her chest while ogling at her butt the whole way. He glanced over to Aamori when she say her head for the stairs and then sighed and made himself comfortable against the wall. If he knew girls...this could take a while.

Hikari looked over to Sanura again when she agreed and sighed softly. She'd been half afraid that the woman was going to say no. She wasn't too thrilled to hear that the clothes were going to be made to fit Aamori...after all Aamori was considerably smaller than she was so this could be interesting. Please have something decently long... Even as long as the dress Aamori was currently wearing was on her one of the same length would just barely cover Hikari's rear. As soon as Aamori made the motion for her to come along she stepped away from the wall and nodded her head to Sanura as she passed, uttering a quiet 'thanks' on the way. She followed Aamori to the stairs and then went up after her and into the room that she opened up. She stood off to the side of Aamori for a now while she shifted through the clothes. She finally sat her boots down on the floor, "So...I guess this is where you got that other outfit from." she said quietly. She had been kind of wondering since Aamori had pointed out that all she had to wear or was allowed to wear were her elder's clothes here. That certainly wasn't what she was wearing when they first met.

Aamori continued looking through the closet, half tempted to just throw things out of it since she wasn't finding what she was looking for right away. She kept looking even when she heard Hikari's question. "Yeah... Sanura makes a lot of clothes for me, as you can see." She paused. "I'm not supposed to wear commoners clothes. I'm supposed to be recognizable at all times... well, at least while I'm here in Kairava." She said quietly. "Sanura is my best friend's Grandmother. Well.. no.. she's the Grandmother of a friend of mine." She corrected herself. Her and Anka weren't close anymore so it didn't quite feel right calling her a best friend. She sighed softly. "Anka, Sanura's granddaughter... she doesn't like to wear half of the things that Sanura makes. Apparently it's uncool to wear things her grandmother made. So Sanura makes things for me instead. She used to make me clothes when I was little too... so Sanura has managed to keep me in clothes since I was young." She shook her head slightly. "She even made my Elder clothes, and gets paid nicely for it." She commented. She finally found what she was looking for and it just happened to be the last thing in the closet. Of course, the one thing she was looking for was the last thing she found. She sighed and started to pull it out of the closet. "I even talked her into making a new outfit for Nanashi." She said and then held the dress out so that Hikari could have a look at it. The dress was roughly the same pale blue color as the one she had on under Kanone's shirt. It was longer, thankfully. On Aamori the bottom of the dress would've been right at her ankles. The dress had darker blue accents; The strap that went around the back of the neck to hold the dress up; The corset strings in the front to tighten the dress a little; Then the decorative sash that was attached, tied and hung on the left side of the dress. She still held the dress up and looked to Hikari smiling slightly. "This is the longest dress she's made me." She paused. "What do you think?"

Kyran continued to stand where he was while everything was being talked about. Once the girls had started to head up the stairs he turned his head slightly and started to glance around the room a little. He saw the bag that Aamori had been carrying just dropped on the floor and shook his head slightly before walking over and kneeling down to pick it up. For now he'd just hold onto it for her. Unlike someone else he was or at least thought he was a gentleman and would happily carry a bag for a girl so she didn't have to. He was a little surprised by the weight. There must have been more in it than he thought, but he didn't bother to look inside. It wasn't his place to go snooping in someone else's stuff like that. He started to look around again and his eyes caught on a sewing mannequin that had red fabric pinned all over it, pretty clearly in the shape of a coat. He tilted his head slightly. Red... wasn't usually something that you saw the Water clan in so of course he was a little curious. He started to move over to the counter where Sanura was standing. "...Not to intrude, but might I ask who you're making that for?" He asked as he pointed towards the mannequin. He was getting a hunch that it might have been for Nanashi since he was the only person he could think of in this territory right now who would wear red but he could have been wrong.

Sanura smiled and nodded to Hikari when she said thanks as she passed by. Once she reached the counter she started to open the box that she had set down, though her eyes shifted when she noticed the Thunder dragon moving. She watched as he picked up Aamori's bag and then again when he came over to the counter. She was a little surprised by the way he asked his question and then smiled lightly. "I'd like to claim it's customer privacy but I don't even know the boy's name. It's for someone Aamori knows." She answered. "I assume you're the one from the Thunder clan traveling with her on this trip or what have you that you're on... so I'd also assume that you know who it's for." She continued. "...It isn't finished, as I'm sure you can see. It is the last piece she requested though."

Kyran nodded when she confirmed his suspicion. He gave the work in progress another glance before looking back to Sanura. Since he had been the one bathing Nanashi that one night he was well aware the state his clothes were in and he was kind of glad that Aamori was having something else made for him and without his knowledge he guessed since not even he knew about it. He half wondered, now that the gold makeshift bandanna flashed in his memory, if Aamori had thought to ask Sanura to make another bandanna for him. He sighed softly. "...I hate to ask, but by chance ...did Aamori ask you to make a bandanna to go with the outfit?" He paused. "Our friend, he's borrowing a sash from someone else and to frank, it just doesn't look right." He said with a soft laugh. "If you haven't already... could you make one?"

Sanura listened to his question and thought about it for a moment after chuckling at the thought of someone with a sash around their head in place of a bandanna. "Hmm... well... no... now that I think about it. She only asked for the basics. Pants, a shirt, the coat and a pair of gloves. But a bandanna won't take but a few moments to make." She said with a smile. "I'll have it ready by the time the girls come back down." She said and then turned and started back into the storage room to get a few things.

Hikari listened silently while Aamori explained to her about the clothes and how Sanura was the one who pretty much kept her clothed at all times. "I see..." she said quietly. She gathered by the way that she had changed 'best friend' to just 'friend' that whoever this girl was wasn't really close to her anymore. She stood there silently while she continued shifting through the clothes. She honestly couldn't say who made her clothes, they were more or less just brought to her aside from the fabric that he had brought she so could make her own, of course there were only a couple of people who knew that she had learned how to sew her own clothes. Once Aamori had finally found what she was looking for and pulled it out to show to her she moved a little closer to inspect what she was going to be stuck in for a little while. She half smiled at the sight of it and then reached out to take it. "It's fine..." she said quietly. She wasn't too thrilled with the corset part, but at least she didn't have to wear it tightly...and she could probably loosen it if she needed to. After a moment she reached out to take it and then sighed softly as she moved to wrap her free arm around Aamori. "Thanks..." she said in the same quiet tone, obviously ready to forgive her. She wasn't usually the type to stay angry for too terribly long. She took a step back and then glanced around. "...Um..can I change in here?"

Kanone glanced over to Kyran when he moved to pick up Aamori's bag and then sighed softly. He didn't see what it was hurting sitting there; they weren't even going anywhere at the moment. He glanced up again when he noticed him move closer to the counter and ask about the clothes. It took him a moment to spot what he was even talking about then he half smiled. "Snazzy..." he commented quietly. He really wouldn't have minded having that coat...maybe not in red, but the coat itself was looking like it was going to be pretty interesting. He raised an eyebrow when Kyran asked about a bandanna. Actually he was kind of surprised at the 'basics.' For him basic was pants, shirt, and shoes, anything beyond that seemed extra. Once Sanura had left the room he looked back to Kyran again and tilted his head. "Come to think of it...I noticed Cel didn't have his sash on yesterday. Why is Nanashi wearing it?" he asked curiously, "That's got to look pretty...um...not right." he said with a slight laugh. "That thing is pretty long."

Aamori smiled a bit once Hikari told her that the dress was fine and wrapped her free arm around her. "You're welcome." She paused. "...It's the least I can do..." She mumbled quietly. She looked at Hikari and nodded slightly. "Yes, you can. Sanura lets me do it all the time." She said and glanced away. "Oh.. there are several different types of shoes in the bottom of the closet... if you don't want to wear your boots." She paused. "Again... they're my size... I'm not sure if you'll fit them, but you're welcome to try them." She offered and then started back towards the door. "Um.. I'll let you change then.. I'll just be here in the bathroom brushing out my hair if you need me for anything." She said as she pointed to the door right across from the one they were currently in. She then pulled the door shut behind her and went across the hall to the bathroom and opened the door. She left it open and went to the sink to borrow Sanura's comb and start fixing her hair. She may not have been under the water for that long but it was enough to knot up her hair a little.

Kyran nodded lightly and watched as Sanura left the room. He started to look back towards to coat and then shifted his attention slightly when Kanone started to ask about Nanashi wearing Celestine's sash. He sighed softly and figured he could easily give the same excuse he gave to Hikari. At least that sufficed. He looked over at Kanone. "Nanashi was complaining about his head hurting and his bandanna was trashed. Celestine just happened to be bringing Nanashi something new to wear for the night and offered up his sash." He nodded slightly. "And it does look a little weird, hence my asking for something so that Celestine can have his sash back." He turned his head slightly when he heard the storage room door opening again.

Sanura came back rather quickly with some a couple different types of fabric and another small box that was more or less a sewing kit. She stepped over to the counter and set everything down before opening the kit to retrieve her fabric sheers. Luckily for her she didn't mind working on things when there were people in the store. She pretty easily ignored the fact that Kanone and Kyran were standing right there and immediately went into work-mode and started cutting the fabric to size. At times like this she was also glad that she'd been sewing things for so long because she worked quickly and accurately. Within minutes she'd already had three pieces of fabric cut all the same size. Two of the pieces were the same thin black material and then the other was a slightly thicker material very similar to the wetsuit material that was used on Aamori's clothes. She layered the three pieces so that the thicker was between the other two and then started to get a needle and thread so that she could begin sewing the fabric together.

Hikari nodded slightly, "Thanks..." she said quietly again. She might have to check out the shoes at any rate. After all...this was one dress that her boots were going to look completely ridiculous with. Once Aamori had gone out and closed the door behind her she sighed and finally unbuttoned Kyran's vest and slipped her arms out. She hadn't bothered to fit her wings through the slits so that was one hassle that she didn't have to contend with. She folded the vest and laid it on top of her boots before she finally started to unzip the front of her shirt between the two folds of blue that practically hid the zipper and struggled out of the shirt before slipping off her shorts as well. Once she'd gotten out of her clothe she just tossed then down on the floor in a heap and then finally took the dress and slipped it over her head. She had to struggle with it for a few moments as she had forgotten to unlace the front but after a few moments she finally got into the thing, though it was a rather uncomfortable fit. She finally reached up to the corset and pulled the bow loose before taking beep breath to loosen the lacing at the top. She took the two ties that went around the neck and tied them carefully under her hair before she started to work with the corset, pulling it more tightly around her waist so that it more snugly around her slender waist and then gradually let it loosen so that it wasn't so tight around her chest. She definitely knew her way around corsets, she was stuck in one nearly every day in Glenys, which was part of the reason that she was so small around the waist, she'd been stuck wearing the things since she was 16. Once she was satisfied with the lacing she finally looked over to the shoes and started to look them over. She finally picked out a pair of sandals that closely matched the blue in the the sash of the dress. She figured she would have the best luck with something fairly open. She sandals were simple enough with three straps over the foot and two that buckled around the ankle with a single strap connecting them all that went down between the big toe and the other four. Once she was dressed she glanced down at herself and sighed in relief seeing that the dress came down to just an inch below her knees. Her long legs made the dress seem a little shorter than it should on top of the obvious height difference between Aamori and herself. Finally she gathered up her other clothes and Kyran's vest as well as her boots and tried to hold it all over one arm as she went to open the door. She felt a little odd being in sandals and a sun dress, but she supposed for an island that was about the usual for most people around here. She peeked out into the hallway at Aamori and then smiled sheepishly, "Well...I'm changed." she informed her.

Kanone blinked and then tilted his head slightly when Kyran gave his explanation. "Wow that's...surprising." he said honestly, "I'm surprised he didn't just tell him to get a bandage or something to use. Kid usually wont even let me use his things." He shook his head and then half smiled, "...Guess he's finally getting out of that 'lets go out of our way to be an ass hole' stage he was in." he said with a quiet chuckle. He diverted his attention to the door as well when he heard it opening and then watched Sanura as she entered the room and started cutting the fabric. He blinked as he watched how quickly she worked and then shook his head slightly. Wow...she's fast.

Aamori snagged the comb from the top of the counter and then stepped over to sit down on the edge of the tub. She gathered her hair and held it so that it was hanging over the tub and began running the comb through her hair. Since her hair was still damp the last thing she wanted to do after getting Sanura to give her another dress was leave a puddle of ocean water on the floor in the middle of her bathroom. She worked through a couple of knots and got most of her hair straightened out by the time she heard Hikari. She lifted her eyes from her hair and glanced over at the doorway to the hall to see Hikari. "Okay, I'm pretty much done, myself." She said and ran the comb through her hair a couple more times before she stood up and shook her hair slightly over the tub in case any more water was going to come out. She then brushed her hair over her shoulder and returned the comb to the sink's counter top. At times like this when she had to take care of her hair more than once in a day she really did wish that it was shorter. Thankfully she came back to Sanura's in a better mood because if she hadn't she more than likely would've gone looking for scissors to cut her hair when she hit those first couple of knots. She started over to the hall and looked towards Hikari and smiled a little. "I know I'm a little smaller in some places... but does it fit alright?" She asked quietly.

Kyran glanced back to Kanone briefly and smiled slightly. "Either that or he only lets the people he likes borrow his things." He said with a quiet laugh. He of course was only joking around. He knew there was a difference in feelings towards family and friends. No matter how much family bickered, argued and fought they were usually still pretty close. At least that's how it was with him and his sister. He'd even fought with his uncle once or twice but they were still pretty close. He shifted his attention back to Sanura after she'd come back and watched as she started cutting the fabric. He was a bit surprised by how fast she worked, but then again she had probably been doing stuff like this for years. He continued to watch her while she prepared her needle and had started to sew the pieces togther. He was starting to think that she wasn't kidding when she said that she'd be finished by the time the girls came back downstairs and she wasn't even making anything simple. He had kind of expected just a simple piece of cloth cut to size but here she was actually making something that looked like it was going to be nice.

Hikari nodded slightly in response to Aamori's question and then glanced down again, "Yes...It's a little tight, but I loosened it up as much as I could, so it's alright now." she told her. She chuckled softly, "You certainly have some cute dresses." she said lightly. She sighed softly and ran her fingers through her hair a little. Thankfully, her hair tended to dry relatively fast in spite of it's length. It wasn't quite as thick as the curls make it usually appear, so it didn't hold water as well as some. "Well...Guess it's safe to head back down..." she said quietly as she glanced over to the stairs again and started in that direction. She at least wanted to get Kyran's vest back to him before she ended up losing something out of it or something. She glanced back to Aamori briefly before she started down the stairs again and pushed the door open at the bottom.

Kanone just made a face at Kyran and then smiled as he shook his head. "Maybe, maybe." he said simply. After a few moments of watching Sanura he glanced off toward the window again and then sighed softly. After another few minutes he glanced over to the door that Hikari and Aamori had gone through and smiled slightly when he saw Hikari. He looked her over for a moment and then laughed, "It never fails..." he said lightly, "Blue and white." It seemed every time she borrowed clothes she always managed to find something blue and white. The outfit that she had come to Caledonia in was blue and white, the one his mother had given her was blue and white, and now this.

Aamori was glad that the dress seemed to fit her alright. She couldn't really help it being a little tight and Hikari shouldn't have to wear it for that long. Once they got back to the training building she could go try to put a rush on getting everything cleaned and dried. She smiled a bit when Hikari said she had some cute dresses. Quite a few of them were cute, but they were never hers for that long. "I'm glad you think so." She paused. "...I like clothes and being able to dress up. So Sanura makes me a variety of different things." She commented. She wished it was a little more often that she was able to dress up but there just wasn't the time for it in a regular day. She nodded slightly when Hikari said that she guessed it was safe to head back down. She stepped out of the bathroom the rest of the way and pulled the bathroom door shut behind her before following Hikari down the stairs and back towards the front room.

Kyran continued to watch Sanura while she was working, mostly because there wasn't too much else to do while they were waiting for the girls to come back. He turned his head towards the door when he heard it open and smiled when he saw Hikari. He wasn't surprised to see her wearing something blue and white, or at least it was close enough to white that it looked that way. He had expected those colors or just solid blue, especially since those were the major colors that people wore here. "Feel better now that you're dry?" He asked while looking her over. He smiled again and held in a quiet laugh. He was starting to wonder if Hikari was going to come away from every territory with a new outfit. She left Radha with Ishta's clothes then Caledonia with Sonia's and now she was wearing something of Aamori's.

Sanura continued working without bothering to look up or take a break. She did stitch quickly and made sure to back stitch to make sure that the thread wasn't going to come out easily. After she finished going around all four sides she cut her thread and then threaded the needle again so that she could put a couple tacks in the material to keep everything in place. She barely lifted her eyes when she heard the door open and then dropped her eyes back down to finish what she was doing. Once she had finished placing the last tack she cut the thread and then folded the bandanna up. She then glanced over to Hikari and smiled. "Ah, I'm glad to see something did fit." She said lightly. She then picked up the folded bandanna and held it out to the young man who'd ask for it. "Here, finished just like I said it would be." She said with a smile.

Hikari glanced at Kanone since he was the first to say anything and then just smiled slightly and shook her head. "I like blue and white?" she said simply as she walked a little closer to Kyran and held his vest out to him. "A little, I suppose." she said with a slight smile. She glanced back to Sanura and smiled when she said that she was glad that she'd found something that fit. She nodded slightly and smiled, "Thanks for loaning it to me." she said again. She blinked when she saw the piece of cloth that she was handing back to Kyran and then tilted her head slightly and gave him a questioning look.

Kanone just smiled slightly and shook his head slightly at Hikari's answer. Finally he pushed himself away from the wall and then walked over to Aamori and sighed, propping his elbow on the top of her head. "So...I assume the tour's over now?" he asked with a slight laugh. He had a feeling Aamori wasn't going to be in the mood to keep walking around after that, though he wouldn't really mind continuing their little exploration if she was up for it.

Kyran smiled at Hikari when he she handed him his vest and nodded his head when she said thanks. He thought briefly about putting the vest on and decided against it for the time being. He turned to look at Sanura when she said that she was done and had been handing him what he asked her to make. He smiled and set his vest down on the counter before reaching for the folded bandanna. "That sure was fast." He paused. "Thank you. I'm sure he'll be happy to see this." He said with a slight smile and started to drop it into the bag of Aamori's that he'd picked up. Since his pants were still damp he didn't want to go putting that into his pocket and he didn't think Aamori would mind. He glanced back to Hikari and noticed the look on her face and laughed quietly. "You saw that gold thing around his head, didn't you?" He paused. "I asked her to make him a new bandanna... and she did... in no time at all." He said as he reached over to pick his vest up again.

Aamori tilted her head back slightly while she tried to look up since he'd put his elbow on her head. She stood there for a moment and then ducked down a little to move out from under his elbow. "It doesn't have to be." She said as she looked at him. "...I need to see that everyone's clothes get taken care of first. After that, if you still want to look around we can." She said and then glanced over to Hikari and Kyran. "I think we're finished here... so we can get going and let Sanura have her work space back." She said and then started towards the storage room door to open it. It'd be easier to just go out the back rather than fight their way through the crowd in the market district. Once she reached the door and got it opened she looked over at Sanura and smiled a little. "Thank you again." She paused. "And.. this time I really won't be back until tomorrow or so." She said with a small chuckle.

Sanura started to clean up the counter while she was standing there. She glanced towards Aamori when she started talking about leaving and watched as she headed for the storage room. She smiled a bit and nodded. "Alright dear. Make sure that you close the exterior door all the way on your way out." She said as she watched her open the door. She continued to look at her for a moment and then looked back to the others. "It was nice seeing you again, Kanone." She paused. "And the two of you, it was nice meeting you." She said as she looked at Hikari and Kyran.

Hikari smiled slightly when Kyran explained to her about the bandanna and then nodded slightly. "Oh...right." she said with a soft laugh. She shook her head lightly and then took a step back. Well, she was at least glad that he'd thought of that; she certainly hadn't. Once Aamori started toward the door she looked back to her and then made doubly sure that she had all of her things before she started after her. She nodded to Sanura and smiled warmly, "Yes, it was nice to meet you, too." she said softly, "Goodbye." she added as she prepared to follow Aamori once she got moving again.

Kanone kept his elbow propped on Aamori's head until she ducked, then he nearly fell over sideways. "Nyaah!" she staggered a little until he caught his balance and then laughed softly. He nodded a little when she said that she had to get a rush on the clothes and then smiled slightly. "Sounds like a plan." He half hoped there was a shower around there somewhere just so he could rinse himself off before he changed into some dry clothes. He didn't see the point of putting on clean clothes when he was covered in ocean water. Once she finally started to leave he glanced back to Sanura and smiled at her, "Good to see you again, too." he told her with a wave. He glanced back to Aamori when he realized that she was going out the back and shook his head. "Geez, in the back out the front, in the front, out the back..." he said with a laugh, "You just like going in a semi-straight line, don't you?" he teased.

Aamori looked over at Kanone and stared at him for a moment before she smiled with a faint hint of a smirk. "Well, I was thinking that it would be easier and a little shorter to go out the back door rather than go out the front and half to walk all the way around to the main path..." She paused. "But since you're bringing it up... why don't you go out front door and we'll see you back at the main building." She chuckled quietly. "And try not to get mauled while you're walking." She said and then started through the door into the storage room. She left that door open for the others and then opened the back door with the strange locking feature. Thankfully you only had to open it the special way from the other side. She stepped outside and waited for everyone else before she was going to start on her way back to the building.

Kyran probably wouldn't have remembered the bandanna had he not seen that coat that Sanura was making. Apparently the coat had gone unnoticed by Hikari or so he assumed. He glanced over to Sanura and smiled. "It was a pleasure, and thank you again." He said as he shifted the bag he'd picked up of Aamori's and draped his vest over his arm. He like usual waited until Hikari started walking and then would follow after her on their way out of Sanura's shop. He was kind of eager to get back to the building, mostly because he wanted to empty out his pockets and see what state the papers where in. Not to mention he'd kind of like to clean the ocean smell from him. Though, that would probably have to wait until his clothes were dry. Once they were dry he could go bathe and then put them back on. It was rather inconvenient to only have the one set of clothes to wear at times like this. He much rather would've preferred to bathe and change into something else so that the ocean could have been cleaned from the clothes he was wearing now. Sadly, things don't always work the way one would like.

Kanone shook his head at Aamori and then stuck out his tongue. "Are you trying to get me lost?" he asked in a whining tone. Of course he knew it would be pretty hard to get too lost on this island, but at the moment he didn't particularly care for the idea of going off on his own and possibly getting all turned around. He grinned and then shook his head and let her and Hikari go before he followed after Kyran since he was on her heels, obviously having no intention of going around the building. He sighed softly and closed the door behind him and then headed outside and closed the other door behind him as well. He sighed and then scooted around Kyran and Hikari s he could walk with Aamori again.

Hikari followed Aamori through the storage room and out the back door and then smiled slightly when she saw Kanone scoot around to stand with Aamori. She looked up to Kyran again and sighed softly before she reached over to take his free hand with hers. She had a feeling she was going to need to take yet another bath after this little adventure, though she was going to try to jsut wait it out until her clothes were washed so she could return this dress to...well whoever she needed to give it to. She could run it back to Sanura later if Aamori wanted her to.
