Character(s): Arlette Yuen-Winchester, Kettaro Sawashiro and anyone else who'd wish to join! Time: 1830pm Location: somewhere in the mall
September had brought forth an early evening in Tokyo, with the sun beginning to set and let dusk settle in. Bored of being on her own for her first few days, Arlette had decided to go to the mall near Aozora. The shops around her were mostly alien to her, although occasionally a boutique with a familiar name would catch her eye.
Maybe she'd find something nice here, something she could ship back to her friends in France or the other. 'Ah,' Arlette decided silently, 'I'll just check out a couple of boutiques, and see if Japanese fashion suits me...'

Kettaro's first couple of weeks in Tokyo made him dread his wardrobe. He used to live on the outskirts of the city, so it was harder clothes. Now that he's in Tokyo, he decided to get out of his dorm and waltz around for new styles. He dressed lightly for the beautiful weather that this September had brought. With a, "I'm finally free~" he stretched his arms and walked slowly, leaving his hand linked behind his head.
He stopped by a boutique store first to start off easy. He greeted the cashier and workers, after receiving their welcomes and hellos. He walked around with such a giant smile. He would tell people that the piece of clothing they were trying on wouldn't fit them, and they would get angry at him. He would try suggesting something after, but they marched out of his sight. "Maybe I should suggest something before instead of after..." he planned as his hues were roaming the store.

Arlette walked around the boutique, exhaling a sigh as she removed pieces from the white clothes rack, and returned them to the rack once more. The only things she had managed to actually like was a long, grey cotton jacket with dark stripes by the shoulders, and a clean, white dress that fell to slightly above her knees.
The clothes here were pretty, but nothing spectacular caught her eye.
Sighing once more, she walked over to a long mirror by a wall and put on the gray jacket. In the reflection, Arlette saw a Japanese-looking boy enter, and greet the salespeople around him. Not giving him much thought, she turned around to see how the grey jacket looked on her from various angles.
"Hmmm...." It looked okay on her, but just stood in front of the mirror for a bit, contemplating if she should spend that amount of Yen on such a jacket.

The blonde continued his roaming and disruption. He found his next victim. Kettaro went towards the brunette who seemed quite graceful while sighing. As he looked a bit closer, he feels as if he has seen her before. The male didn't remember, but his thoughts were straying as he was watching her. He tried hiding behind the clothes lines, but he stood up once he noticed that she was having a hard time deciding.
Kettaro decided to speak up so the mistress may hear him. "You know, it's going to get chilly soon... And monotone colors really bring out the color of your hair. Ah-- I have to include that your hair color is an admirable one. It's beautiful." With that, he smiled and held up a thumbs up.

Arlette whipped around to the blond boy smiling at her, giving her a thumbs up. "Ahh," she could try and act that he didn't slightly startle her but, he did, just a bit. Smiling, Arlette turned to face him and replied, "Well, thank you." She paused for a moment, thinking, he seemed friendly enough... maybe he'd help her with this?
"Hey, I'm pretty new here, do you think you could help me choose some clothes and things?" Arlette asked the boy, hoping he wouldn't think her request was too strange.

Kettaro watched as her brown locks move. It was beautiful--she was beautiful. He was surprised how nice the sound of her voice was. Not only was she enchanting Kettaro with the sound of her voice, but also her smile. The blonde paused his steady breathing for a second as she spoke once more.
"Well, thank you," she said. Before he opened his mouth, the brunette continued her speech. "Hey, I'm pretty new here, do you think you could help me choose some clothes and things?"
He couldn't refuse-- he didn't want to refuse. "Ah--It's nothing! And of course I can help! I'm Kettaro, please be kind towards me!" He bowed quickly and continued speaking once his body was 180 degrees vertical. "Since we're at the mall, we can walk around and see what catches your eyes and I'll tell you my opinion on it? I might be harsh, I hope you can bare with me~"

"Ah--It's nothing! And of course I can help! I'm Kettaro, please be kind towards me!"
Arlette couldn't help but chuckle when the blond boy, Kettaro, bowed after speaking. "Why wouldn't I be kind to you? And forget that, you don't need to bow!" She paused, and said after a brief moment, "Unless people bow around here in Japan?"
"That sounds like a plan," Arlette said in a singsong voice, smiling at Kettaro's idea. "Oh, harsh, are we? Someone's quite the diva." Realising she hadn't even introduced herself yet, she extended her hand to him, "I'm Arlette!"

Kettaro blushed after hearing the female go, "Why wouldn't I be kind to you? And forget that, you don't need to bow! Unless people bow around here in Japan?"
He widened his hues at the brunette for never seeing such an act. He began to flail his arms wildly around her. "I-It's just... I... don't know? You see, I grew up with--err--" The blonde couldn't find the words to his explanation and admitted defeat. He lowered his head while pulling on his golden bangs.
The male listened to her composed voice and smiled once he heard her name. It was elegant, as expected. Kettaro fixed his posture and nodded in agreement. "Eheh, I guess I am a diva, hn? And yeah! It's a date then, Arlette! Select your destination, princess~"

Pink rushed to the blond boy's face after hearing what she'd said, and when Arlette thought that was going to make her laugh, Kettaro began flailing his arms."Don't take it to heart, Kett," Arlette laughed in a singsong voice, "now, now, don't strain yourself." Oh god, a little thought slipped into her, wait would he take that as funny or offensive. "When you have the words~"
She slipped a lock of pale brown hair behind her ear, and looked at Kettaro's pretty brown eyes. "Ah, a date, shall we visit someplace else, my knight?" Arlette slipped off her grey jacket and returned it neatly to its hanger and placed it on the counter. Keeping her eyes on him, Arlette began walking towards the glass entrance, waiting for him to keep up.

"Don't take it to heart, Kett,"
Kett. He took a step back at what she had called him. He felt the heat get to his head and looked around. Did she give him a nickname? At the first meeting? Kettaro showed his teeth when he smile and poked his own cheek. "Kett. Me? Ahaha, that's so cool!" He lowered his vision to look at the ground. "...And don't worry, I won't strain myself. But I'm not really the smartest or brightest kid around here..." He mumbled the last part before bringing up a smile again.
Kettaro stopped smiling for a second and looked her in the eyes. "Uwaa-- She's so dazzling. She looks like she would make a great actress or model!" He thought to himself before hearing the words, "Ah, a date, shall we visit someplace else, my knight?"
He snickered at the cute medieval speak and quickened his pace towards the glass entrance to catch up. "How is it that you walk so fast, m'lady? Ahahaha!" Kettaro couldn't hold his laughter so he let it out after the strange question.

"Haha, yes, Kett, I shall call you Kett," Arlette grinned from the entrance, which Kettaro was approaching swiftly. "If you don't mind, of course. Or Sir Kett?"
Kettaro had mumbled something about not being the brightest, she heard quite surprisingly. "Eh, you're not the brightest kid around here? Well, never mind that; neither am I."
"I walk quick only when necessary," Arlette said to Kettaro as she moved to push the glass door open. "And now is necessary; seems like there's a whole lot of shops to hit here, yes?"

*#(@%&@#!! was all that processed through Kettaro's mind at this point. As he caught up to the brunette, he spoke up for her hear.
"I don't mind at all, Princess Arlette! Haha, Sir Kett sounds like I'm some kind of ride at the amusement park!"
Kettaro couldn't believe his new friend had heard his mumble. "I--I..." he started picking at his vocabulary. "Then... we can grow bright together!"
The blonde walked by her side and smiled at her logic. "All right, Arlette, let's beat these sho--" he paused once he saw a fancy looking store. "Can we get in here? Please?!" His hues were sparkling with interest towards the place.

Arlettebeamed at the sound of her new friend calling her Princess Arlette. It reminded her when she played with her childhood friends in prep school, calling each other princesses and princes and knights and ladies.
"I don't mind at all, Princess Arlette! Haha, Sir Kett sounds like I'm some kind of ride at the amusement park!"
"Sir Kett, sounds like something out of a medieval Disneyland," Arlette chuckled as a posh-looking store came into view. "Speaking of amusement parks, I heard there's one around here somewhere right?"
"Can we get in here? Please?!"
Arlette turned to face Kettaro, looking at the posh store in wonder, like how a kid would look at a candy store. Peering curiously at the shop, Arlette replied, nodding, "Of course, of course. But what is it that has piqued your curiosity?"

Kettaro spun his head to face Arlette and had his eyes shining. Once he heard the words amusement and parks, he was all in. It was like a spell of some sort. "... Did you say a-amusement park? Okay, I really want to go now, Princess Arlette! Gee, thanks a lot!" he pouted. "You know I can't go until my duty as your knight is over...!" Kettaro let out a chuckle after saying such a childish thing, but then again he always says the most childish things.
As Kettaro was looking at the store in front of him with eyes of admiration, Arlette said, "Of course, of course. But what is it that has piqued your curiosity?"
"I saw an outfit that would look great on you, of course! It's screaming your name, Princess~" he replied with eyes still shining.

"... Did you say a-amusement park? Okay, I really want to go now, Princess Arlette! Gee, thanks a lot!" The blonde boy pouted at her, and Arlette couldn't help but be reminded of a kid.
If she had known him longer, Arlette would've ruffled his blond locks, but she didn't want Kettaro to think she was... strange or anything.
"We can go later, if we have time!" Arlette looked at the store as she pushed the door open, "or another day, so we have more time to spend there~"
""I saw an outfit that would look great on you, of course! It's screaming your name, Princess~" Kettaro said excitedly. She looked at him, and then glanced around the shop with a smile on her face, and which one would that be?""
