[[heh, im back ;^^ for maybe an hour then i have to go to bed. and knowing her, she's not too terribly picky so i'm sure she won't mind.]]

Lukas smmiled. "Alright then c'mere and I'll lift you up onto her." he said, though as he said it Strigur neighed and moved to kneel down again, as if saying, well, i can help too you know. Lukas just smiled "Or she'll get down for you haha," He joked and moved for Oni to get up first. "sometimes I forget she can understand us."

Oni laughed saying, "She just really smart." He went over and carefully climbed on. Even kneeling she was a big creature. He looked at Lukas and said, "Okay I think I'm good, but can you hold on to me when we ride. . .just to make sure I don't fall off." Oni was stilled a little scared of falling off.

((okay, thanks for the heads up. w00t! ))

Arina yawned as she slipped out of bed, she moved over to her closet pulling on a brown and orange sweater like dress and put on some brown leggings and boots and doing her hair before heading out to the main room. She walked slowly down the stairs into the room, and moved towards the bar, Lukas had been there, she could tell, it reaked of his favorite coffee. She started a brew of herbal tea and leaned against the counter.

[[i just sensed people talking about me xD but it's true, i'm not as picky as most people, hell i don't even remember the random numbers i spouted off when i was saying who had what room and such.]]

(( O.O oops I was caught, lol. Thanks Shadow ;) Sorry I've been such a slow poke. I can be really indecisive sometimes ;^^ ))

Lukas nodded and hopped on putting his arms around Oni and grabbing the reins. Strigur stood slowly and started moving out of the stables. "So what do you want to do first Oni?" he asked as they started moving down the path slowly gaining speed.

Oni snuggled against Lukas and blushed. This was like the first time and it made him feel good. He turned his head slightly so he could look at him and said, "Can we get new clothes first? Oh oh I almost forgot! Do you think . .um that it would be okay if I can get something to wrap Dante's gift in? All I could find was a plastic bag and it doesn't look very present like."

"Alright, and sure, I don't see why not, there's a lot of bags and decorative papers in one of the stores up here." He let Strigur turn the way to town, she knew the way well enough and he let her go at a steady pace. She started to slow as they got closer to town, and then stopped in front of a store Lukas had gone to a lot for clothes. "Thanks Strigur, it's like you've read my mind." He said smiling and jumped down holding out his arms for Oni.

"Thanks Lukas. I just want it to look nice. Dante has done a lot for me, especially after Xanic died, " he said quietly at the end. He decided at that moment he would try and be happy and not think about the sad things. He was with Lukas and they would have a good time. When Lukas held his arms out Oni smiled and slide down into them. He couldn't help himself and kissed him whispering, "I love you." He felt good and Lukas seemed to make everything right in his world no matter what was going on. Oni nuzzled him and said,"Okay clothes and a coat, I'm excited."

Lukas nodded and kissed him back "and I love you." he did too, he hadn't felt like this ever before. He set Oni upright on the ground and walked towards the shop. "Yep clothes and coat." He repeated. Strigur neighed softly and settled herself on the ground to wait for them.

Oni warmed all over at his words and smiled. He held onto Lukas' hand and went into the shop. It was hard for him not to go everywhere at once and he said excitedly, "Where do we go first Lukas? Can we pick any color? I don't know my sizes or anything. . .Xanic did. Do you know how to tell sizes?" He pulled Lukas forward toward some random rack.

( o-o Cute. But... Lukas is a pedo~ <D )

((Be quiet Mr I Got Laid Last Night XP ))

[[meh, not my fault.]]
Lukas laughed. "Well there's a bit of a way to seeif it'd fit but more just trying things on than anything to find what size is right." He said letting him drag him around the store. "And yeah, whatever color you like." he added
[[sorry, wandered off >3<]]

( Phht. xD Dante DID get laid. <3 )

[[seems like i missed quite an eventful night lolz]]

Oni ended up with an armful of stuff and said, "It is okay to try them on now?" He had picked a lot of stuff and was excited to see what stuff looked good and what didn't. Oni then looked at Lukas and said a little confussed, "Where do we change?" When they had first left the facility Oni had tried to change in public and got in trouble.

((hmm maybe I can change his age a tad. Yes you did you bug XP and left Oni to make dollies, gag. It's funny because Oni is so not like me))

Lukas gave a little laugh. "Theres changing rooms back there, see the stalls, you can try your clothes on in there." He said waving down one of the store ladies "She'll unlock one for you." He said and started to head back to the fitting rooms. "And then you just have to pick some things and go at it."

[[at least like what 2 years xD]]

((You should get on aim Ms. Kitty :P. and hehe yus you did Lukas xD, even miss 'I dont like being touched' Rain got laid XD))

Oni looked at him a little worried, "But isn't Lukas coming with me? If you don't see it too I might pick something awful and not even know it. I. . .I . .I want to look good for you." He was blushing but it was true. The one day Xanic had let Oni dress them had been rather embarrassing and ever since then Oni never picked the clothes. He didn't want to make Lukas embarrassed because he was wearing something silly.

((kk, I'll let shadow know XP ))

[[fyi, kitty went to bed, she wakes up at 5 tomorrow, she's not used to working so early lolz]]

Lukas laughed, "Well, I can't come in with you, but if it fits, you can come out and show me, it'll be fine." He smiled "besides, I'm sure you'll look good in anything, so c'mon, the only way to find out is to start right?"

[[though i'll prolly follow her lead here soon, i'm getting a tad tired.]]

(ok, lets just make sure we make it back to the inn k))

"Okay that sounds good," he said and slipped into the dressing room. After he had tried everything on and showed it to Lukas he still had a nice sized pile of clothing. He looked at Lukas and said, "Okay so which ones can I have?"

"Which ones did you like the best?" Lukas asked, though would probably buy all of them anyway. "I don't really mind what you get, I've got enough, so, I guess, lets just go over to the register and start ringing things up." He smiled, "I like them all."

[[yeah, i know xD poor oni being stranded, would be horrible.]]

Oni's eyes went wide and he said,"Is that really okay? Is. . is it like before when you said you wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean it?" Part of Oni felt bad but this had been so much fun. He picked up the pile of clothes and followed Lukas. "So I did an okay job of picking them out since you like them right?"

"Yes Oni, it's really ok, and yeah, I hardly ever say anything I don't mean." He smiled helping carry some of the stuff. "And you did a great job. Besides, you should wear whatever you like to wear, because you know, it's you wearing it." He laid some of the clothes on the counter and smiled at the girl as she started to ring the clothes nervously. He waited for Oni and then for the clohes to be rung up and simply handed her his debit card. "So, anyway, what do you think you're going to eat? I am going to get crepes with peaches and ice cream, i think, and a large root beer float. I've not had that in a while..." He went on as the girl started to bag up the clothes.

"Thank Lukas, now I have lots and lots of clothes if you add the ones you already gave me. Oni held his hand again happy. "Oh that sounds really good! Can I get the same thing? I've never had crepes before," he said eagerly.
