How About Arden Shopping

[James Turner]

The Dealership, that made a lot more sense now. Working though, he could definitely see her on the showroom floor her presence alone would draw in customers. "Selling cars?" There were a lot of jobs she could be doing, he didn't want to assume. "You like it?" He could see her inside of an Aston Martin, trying to convince Bond to give up the life. A small smile playing at the edges of his lips at the thought.


"Yea, I listen to records before digital recordings if I can. It just sounds better. There's a couple used record stores around town I hit up too. Thrift Shop records are usually old gospel recordings, and not the music kind, or Christmas albums. Good season for that."


He nodded along with Ram, he didn't have the same issues as the Ogre though. He was too tall for some of the clothes but he could fit into the majority of things there even then you're still hunting for stuff you'd actually want to wear if given a choice. "Yea, have to hunt for things that you like. You'll make good finds occasionally though." A nod as Ram said she should slip back inside, he took two steps back without turning around waiting to see if they were coming before going any further.

"Well. I was skeptic at first. But now I'm really enjoying it. It's like acting", she nods.
As they put it, this was going to be more like a treasure hunt than actual shopping. In that case she's finding the prospect thrilling. And so, she follows the ogre's lead as he lets the door open for them.
"I'm sure we'll be able to find something for you", it's true, this isn't her usual shopping venue, but who knows. Besides, she's in good company.
Though, she out of cash for the rest of the week, so she'll just browse.

Soft Bump

[James Turner]

James stepped aside to let both in, slowly pushing his way back into the store. It wasn’t chaos but it wasn’t the peak of organization either. Most of what filled the floor was racks and racks of clothing in varying sizes, styles, and separated by section. “Good that you enjoy it, first time doing sales?” Looking back over his shoulder at her as he went to the T-shirts that were around his size and started thumbing through them looking for band tee’s.

[Ram]

Ram watched side-wise at Titania when the question about selling cars came up. It seemed a bit… below her? At least, that’s what she might think it was and he felt a bit uncomfortable on her behalf at being asked. Then again, as a Spring, it was her life. If she didn’t want to do something, he suspected she’d be the first to say so.

Ram entered into the store and stayed around the same general area as James. Though obviously he couldn’t be next to the Darkling. Size differences demanded they browse at least a few feet apart if nothing else. Not that Ram expected much, especially in the T-shirt section. Having horns generally required a wider than normal neck.

“Don’t worry if we don’t,” he commented to Titania. “Thrift shopping is a long view sport.”

The Render didn't go quite as quick in his thumbing. He tended to look before daring to touch the merchandise and even with fabric, he was careful. Even if he was less likely to tear cloth on accident, the hangers were still pretty breakable.

"Though if either of you see a plus size suit, I'd definitely owe you." he laughed.

[Titania]

"I will definitely be on the lookout", she says.
Truth be told, this shop is much different from the ones she's used to. For starters, clothes are not carefully ordered in racks, rather, there are large tables where all manner of items are sprawled, with no particular order.
She's taken back, but she tries to hide her surprise with idle chit-chat. Though, she's almost sure she's been getting THAT look.

[James Turner]

"I'll keep a close eye out, if you need anything else just ask." Noting the careful way the Ogre avoided man-handling the clothing. Looking around the assortment of clothes took time though John's gaze darted back and forth quickly, knowing what he was looking for but being careful not to make a mess. "How about some fashion forward tips? I'm not the most well dressed around, I've been told when one is dressed up they should accessorize, so what accessories would we need to go with a suit?"

[Ram]

Ram gave a small smile seeing Titania look out of her depth. More because it was this situation that had managed to break her gorgeous poise than any actual schadenfreude. He still didn’t like that she was uncomfortable.

“Of course the best finds is the stuff you didn’t know you were looking for. It can take months to find exactly what you want but there’s almost always something new from last week that would be cool to buy.” Though if he actually did, he’d be out of money much too soon.

Ram was pretty sure James’ question was not direct towards the Ogre and was more to put the Fairest more at ease. Which was a point in the Darklings favor in Ram’s book.

“Maybe we should check the jewelry. See if they have those fancy cuff things. Maybe a tie clip? Are tie clips still a thing?” he asked casually.

[Titania]

"Of course, of course", there are very few things that the Fairest likes more than herself. One are compliments, another is being asked for help, the third one, is putting her impeccable sense of style and etiquette to good use.
She fawns over her companions, extending her arms to them, so that arm in arm, they will proceed to the shop.
You don't need expensive clothes or jewels to look good, part of the appeal is exuding confidence. Because if you think you look good, then you automatically project that aura outside. "Don't worry. I'll pick your outfits"

Often, less is more, and a good placed accessory, especially if picked correctly, can make a world of difference.
Class is a right that comes from the inside.
"You'll need pocket squares, and tie bars. And cuff links... don't forget cuff links. Oh and scarves. But first we need a couple of suits, more like half a dozen to start. Traditionally brown is thought of as inelegant, though, this year it has been rehabilitated"

“It’s true, I was here for my usual rounds and found a cheap espresso machine. Was odd but a good find.” Smiling up as the two of them as they ran with the thread, seeing Titania be more comfortable and take the lead. He gave her a nod and would follow the two of them over to the jewelry, or what could be classified as jewelry. “I have a suit in mind it’d be a deep black color so I’m going to need things to go with that”
