"Three or four if I remember right," Alexa responded moving towards the entrance with some difficulty. Though she refused to show she was having any, "I kept the cover up for about 10 minutes before I had to drop it and promptly pass out."

"I'm sure that was very helpful for the people you were hiding," he said, a faint smiling tugging at his lips. There was something wrong with her, he was pretty sure, but he was unwilling to ask. He held the door open for her.

"It was in practice, so no harm no foul," Alexa responded stepping in. She had controlled her breathing and kept herself together. Sure, she was exhausted, but she was nowhere close to passing out. Just pushing herself more than needed.

"Did they know you made them invisible?" Arsen asked, not helping her, although the gentleman in him, no matter how small, screamed at him to do so. "Because if they didn't, that would be great."

"Sadly they did," Alexa responded with a forced smile stopping to 'casually' lean on the wall, "Would have been funny otherwise."

"Well, you should try, when we get back, to turn someone invisible without their knowledge." He had been walking, but when he no longer sensed her behind him, he turned, to see her leaning against the wall. He frowned slightly. "Do you want to sit down?''

"I, no I'm fine," Alexa pushed herself off the wall and walked up to him. She was exhausted and sitting sounded amazing, but she was going to keep walking with him, "I'll sit down when we know we're out of danger got it?"

"We are, for the moment," he said, gesturing around the clothing store. "Do you want to pick out some different clothes by yourself, or do you want me to come?"

"I can do it myself," Alexa responded, "Don't want to drag you through the women's section."

"I don't particularly want to see a bunch of bras, either," he responded. "How will we reach each other if we're in trouble?"

Alexa paused for a moment before sighing, "Fine you can come with me. It'll be easier since we should probably keep our phones off for the time being."

"Probably," he agreed. "But do we really want to stay together?" He shrugged. "I guess I could close my eyes and follow you blindly."

"It's probably the smartest thing to do," Alexa responded shrugging, "Besides you do know most stores have a completely different section for women's underwear right?"

"They do?" Arsen made a face. "Why? That's dumb. Can't they just put all of the clothes in one space and leave it like that? They don't have to make it so painfully complicated."

"It's because we're women," Alexa responded with a sigh, "They have to separate it out so the little girl clothes don't get mixed in with lingerie. Trust me, I think it's stupid too."

"Glad I'm not a girl," Arsen grumbled. "It sounds so difficult. All the signs and signals and words and clothes. You can't do things by halves, can you?" He shrugged. "Well, come on. Let's find you something you wouldn't normally wear."

"Don't get me started on the size system. So a dress," Alexa sighed as she began walking that way trying not to stumble over her own two feet, "Probably sleeveless and heels. Dios, I'm going to hate this."

"I can imagine. Dresses are so uncomfortable." Arsen tilted his head, walking behind her. "Are you going to wear a fancy dress or a sundress-type thing?"

"Sundress if possible," Alexa responded as she led him to the dress racks desperately keeping her facade up, "I'm not wearing a fancy dress if I don't have to, those things are so itchy and tight."

"Not to mention they look awful," Arsen commented, glancing around. All his senses were alert, and although they were safe for the time being, he still felt like someone was watching them. He couldn't tell if they were friendly or not.

Alexa knew something was off, but she was too tired to care. She walked through the dresses mindlessly just trying to act like any other customer. She pulled out a pink dress with little white flowers on it. The fabric cut off right before the knees and it was in a rippled pattern while it had, no sleeves and no straps, "They really do. How about this one?"

"Sure. That does not seem like you at all, it's perfect." Arsen grinned. "Now, all you need to do is get some sandals or something, do your hair, and put on a ridiculous amount of makeup, and you'll be good."

"Ugh," Alexa rolled her eyes as she kept the dress close to her while she leaned on the wall nearby to catch her breath. She had a light smile but it was tampered by her dislike for what he just said, "I'll get sandals and maybe care about my hair more than I use to, but I refuse to put on a ridiculous amount of makeup."

"Why not? You wear almost no makeup, and so if you paint your face like it's a road sign, no one will recognize you!" Arsen shrugged. "I'm gonna get some new clothes and dye my hair, probably."

"You've never worn makeup so you have no idea how weird it feels okay?" Alexa responded as she messed with her hair taking a deep breath, "I already have hair dye in my bag anyways. I can dye it black or blonde."

"Oh, I believe that it feels weird," Arsen said, rolling his eyes. He leaned against a post, debating. "Well, I could go for the angsty look, so if I could borrow some of your blonde…" He frowned, considering.

"Yeah you can borrow the blonde," Alexa responded pushing herself off the wall knowing very well someone could be listening. Maybe she was lying about the colors she had maybe she wasn't.

(bump?)

(Sorry, my parents took away my phone for a bit because I was spending too much time on here. Sorry about that!)

Arsen shrugged. "Anyhoo, we should get moving. You gonna do that dress?" He asked, nodding to the hideous thing in her hands. "Because I should probably pick out my stuff, too."

Alexa looked at the ugly dress in her arms and sighed, “Yeah I probably am. I don’t think I need much else, so let’s head to the men’s section.” The exhaustion had fully set in at this point so standing and walking was difficult though she tried her best to cover it up.
