She tilted her head again.
"Sh...sh...shawp...shawpping?" she said, curious.

[u]Mhmm! It's when you go out and you buy things like clothes, food, and other stuff.[/u]
-
She nodded, beginning to get the idea.
-
*She heads into her bedroom, getting her wallet off the dresser and then holding her hand out for Mari.* [u]Let's go.[/u]
-
Mari takes her hand, following her.
-
*Eventually they reach a Belk, and Sapphire leads her inside, towards the girl's clothing section.*
-
She looks around at all the stuff, quite amazed at all the sights. She had never been anywhere like this before, as Kari would keep them hidden most of the time, and people would chase them away. She saw a large blue woolly sweater with a white snowflake on the center. She tugged Sapphire's arm and pointed at it.
-
[u]Oh, you want that?[/u] *She asked, waking over to it and taking it down for her.*
-
Mari smiles a little, admiring it.
-
[u]We'll still need to get you some pants and a couple other shirts as well. Do you see anything else you like?[/u]
-
She points to a pair of baggy grey sweatpants and a large cobalt beanie hat.
-
[u]Ooo, nice choices, you'll look very pretty in these. What else?[/u] *She asks, putting the clothes in a basket.*
-
She looks around, seeing a pair of bright red socks. She points at them, smiling.
-
*She chuckles a little.* [u]Alright, I'll get you some socks.[/u] *She says, putting them in the basket.*
-
Mari hugs her, murring happily.
-
[u]Aww, I'm glad you're happy![/u] *She says, patting Mari on the head.*
-
Mari purrs a little, or something like purring.
-
[u]You need more than just another set of clothes though...[/u] *She says, purring a little as well.* [i]Some time later.[/i] *Sapphire was at the cash register with Mari as the extremely confused looking teen rung up the clothes.*
-
Mari looked up at the teen, giving a little smile.
-
*He just looked confused and smiled back. He had heard there were animal people in the Dojo but had never seen one in person. He finished ringing up the items and Sapphire leaves with Mari, walking down the sidewalk with a couple bags.*
-
Mari sticks close to Sapphire, looking uneasy as they pass by others.
-
*Sapphire holds her close, trying to comfort her. Considering what she's just been through, she has good reason not to trust others.*
-
Mari stays close, her eyes darting around nervously.
-
[u]It's alright... Should I carry you?[/u]
-
She shakes her head no, only nervous. She didn't actually see anything threatening. After going through what she did, she was going to have issues.
-
[u]Okay... Well if you need anything just tug on my arm.[/u]
