Find Me (Character Chat #4)

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his bicep and Lia's voice say, "Hey!"
He turned and frowned. She was dressed to the nines with her hair curled, eyeliner done a little excessively, and wearing big hoop earrings. "Well, hi."
"Did you end up getting home last night?" she asked, still yet to move the hand.
He nodded. "Yeah, we made up. She cooled off pretty quick."
Lia hid a twang of frustration behind the layer of make-up. She's got him around her finger like a ring.

She looked down at the shoes under his arm, smiling. "And what do you have there?"
"Shoes. Kinda got the dogs out right now, and they're getting cold." He twittled his toes to emphasize the point.
Lia giggled, covering her mouth with her other hand. Runner took the moment to look over at Tess, hoping she was looking and was disappointed when she wasn't.
"Hey, Runner, it seems like you have some free time. Would you like to go to lunch with me."
He flinched slightly. Tess, don't freak out, we're in a store.

Lia could barely hide a scowl. "Oh…okay. Bye, ru|Runner~" She then bounced out of there before she was fried to a crisp.

He turned to her. "That was….odd." God, he's so clueless sometimes.

"Why'd you do all that weird stuff? We coulda gotten a free lunch."

((Why not have Kia be a minion to Runner's dad, and is trying to capture him? He does want Runner alive, right?

((And I can never remember the guy's name, ffs

He tilted his head. "It looks like someone melted a disco ball into a high heel mold."

There was no hesitation. "Blue."

"Maybe something like this," he said, pulling off a pair of basic royal blue heels.

He shrugged. "I thought a stiletto was a knife until a few minutes ago."

"Don't wanna see what I got?"

He offered her the box with the blak sneakers inside.

He shrugged, taking the box back. "Ah, yes, the mall."

"Noooooooooothing." He walked to th cash register and sat the box down/

"Noooooooooope." He smiled to himself
