Searching

While Felli got led along by the girls, Xilo was being led somewhere himself. Going down a few streets with Lexia in the lead, Xilo was curious where they were going. She had shown up in the morning right before he could talk with everyone and dragged him away alone. She told him that she wanted to show him something, all he saw right now were people walking across the streets. Xilo was beginning to wonder if this had anything to do with last night's conversation. Originally this wasn't the plan Lexia had in mind for them today and that was the only thing that changed.

"Where exactly are you taking me or are you going to stay quiet about that until we get there?"

"Have a bit of patience, we'll be there soon."

"Does this by chance have to do with last night's conversation?"

Staring at Lexia's long back as she walked, Xilo blurted that out. If she thought just showing him some places would change his mind then she was bound to be dissapointed. Being dragged around like that and separated from everyone for such a silly reason wasn't something he was too pleased with. He would have much rather talked with everyone and spent his morning with them. They were all his friends and it was something he had grown used to. Lexia just shook her head side to side as she kept walking. Entering a dark alley Lexia walked towards a dead end that was nearby.

"It should be somewhere around here."

Not being able to see too well Lexia felt around the wall as she looked for something. Xilo kept walking without realising that she had stopped since he was stuck in thoughts. He ended up running into her back and pushing her forward. "Whoa!" Grabbing a hold of her body they fell forward through the wall as Lexia's hand grazed a switch. Landing against the ground in a dark hallway Xilo felt his body hit the ground hard. He had tried to change their positions mid air to break the fall for Lexia since he had bumped into her. Taking the brunt of the damage, he felt her body fall into his hands as the softness of her flesh overwhelmed him.

"Smells nice."

A lavender scent tickled his nose as he held her in his arms.

"Are you alright Lexia?"

Face to face with Xilo, Lexia felt her breathing stop from such a sudden fall as she stared down at him. Once she heard his voice she shook her head as she broke out of her stupor. Pulling herself away from his body she stood up and extended her hand after answering him. "I'll ignore that little slip up." She definitely felt his hand grab her breasts but she let it go since she knew it wasn't his fault. Once she made sure both of them were okay she started walking down the tunnel again. This was one of the entrances that were hidden around the City that lead to the main Castle. Lexia planned to show him a bit of things that were going on around there. "I kind of lied to him but oh well." She did mean to try and convince him to help out with this.

"I'm fine, let's get going. We don't have too much time until the guards start patrolling the place. I want to slip in before we get caught. Keep following me and stay close."

Not letting go of his hand she dragged him towards the Castle. While Xilo was stuck in darkness Xelfia and Tearia took care of Felli. The three of them went to the City to explore a little bit. It was best that they all got to know the layout of this place and as a little extra they could check out all the shops nearby. Tearia wanted to find a few things to give to Felli and maybe even a gift for Xilo if they were lucky. "That's the ideal." Sadly after checking out a few shops they didn't find anything that seemed worthwhile, leaving Tearia disappointed. Xelfia on the other hand didn't care too much as they talked. There weren't very many chances for them to do this kind of stuff together and she just wanted to enjoy it.

Even with her increasing nerves Felli followed behind them closely as she felt herself being overwhelmed. When she went out before in the past it had always been by herself to complete tasks for her Mother. This was one of the few times she had gone out herself and it felt vastly different. She was usually pretty alright during her tasks but now she found herself unable to stop shaking. Xelfia and Tearia's presence kept her calm though as they entered another store. "I wonder what's in this one." The last couple had clothing or accessories that didn't catch any of their interests, so this one probably had similar.

"How many stores do you plan on visiting today Tearia?"

Felli asked that in hopes it wasn't too high of a number.

"As many as it takes."

"What does that mean...."

"Eh, you'll find out soon enough. This one doesn't look too bad though, come take a look with me."

"Fine, fine."

Watching the girls talk Xelfia lead them inside. Opening up the door they were greeted with a bunch of different clothing and accessories much more subtle then the ones they saw before. These ones were a lot less flashy and looked more plain. "They look hand made." That was what caught Felli's attention the most, the care and detail each one seemed to have even with their more plain look. The other two stores while they were fancy, the designs were lazy and a bit too flashy for her to really like.

"These look nice, probably the best store so far. What do you think Tearia, Xelfia?"

"Let's take a closer look and find out, maybe we'll get something good from here after all."
