Shopping with a goddess (Open)

Shopping with a Goddess

Small canine-like ears pricked and flittered upon the small blonde's head, blue eyes staring through a glass window as the masses passed him by. Unbeknownst to himself, and likewise for the Lady Freya, he had been standing by a small shop that dabbled in selling rather nicely made outfits of fine cloth materials, embroidered with hints of gold trimming in lovely designs. Some were also not nearly as elegant, but held a grace all on their own using simple patterns and colors that only served to compliment one another throughout. Oddly enough, some of these outfits were also outfitted to serve as armor, said to make the wearer feel lighter than air, and give them a keen edge in the dungeons while looking good all the same. To be able to get his hands on such a thing seemed like naught but a distant dream, however, as the price was sadly well out of his range. Not to mention that he hadn't had much luck when exploring the dungeon as it were.

The outfit he had been admiring was pleasantly dressed upon a mannequin, using an elegant pattern that would almost seem similar to that of a butterfly, if one were ever to regard it as such. The fabric was said to be woven from Spider Silk found in the deeper levels of the dungeon, the colors primarily dominating the ensemble in white, while black silks accompanied as sashes and ribbons, two red roses a set of corsages; one placed upon the left-hand side, the other to serve as a lovely piece to accompany the silken white shawl that would drape over the wearers' shoulders. Sensitive ears would flicker every so often as the sound of passerbys caught his ears.

"Hey, it's that Chienthrope kid."

"Huh? Oh, you mean that girly looking kid who runs the dungeon solo?"

"Who would have thought that he was that sort of person? Hahaha!"

Blue eyes narrowed as nails raked at the window in front of him. He knew all too well what his status was among the many that lived in Orario City. And it wasn't anything good. He was definitely viewed as the runt among the adventurers, and boy, did it ever sting sometimes. Though what really seemed to irritate him was more-so the fact that they seemed to be making fun of him for his choice in fashion. Like they'd never seen a newbie adventurer pining over what was clearly, of all things, a dress.

"Mou... you'd think there was something wrong with a guy having an eye for clothing...", he murmured, his voice barely audible over the hustle and bustle of the crowd behind himself. Though possibly loud enough for the Goddess near him to overhear it.

Shopping With a Goddess

His attention was soon drawn away from the dress as he felt something warm wrap around his left hand, soon being pulled away, and into the very stare he had been window shopping at. Blue eyes blinked in confusion before his head turned, finding an exceptionally beautiful woman guiding him inside. At first, he found himself awe struck, as the woman was indeed very beautiful. However, his expression soon turned from awe to that of shock and slight panic. He opened his mouth to speak up, but stopped himself as the woman spoke to the shop owner, her voice warm and kind.

"Excuses me shop owner? Do you have that dress you have on the mannequin in a size to fit the young adventurer here?"

The young Chienthrope blinked as he watched the women bow before heading into the back of the store, feeling the hand that had practically kidnapped him leave. Blonde brows knitted together into a frown as he stared up at the woman that dragged him into the establishment, introducing herself.

"Forgive my rudeness, I just could not help but want to see you wearing that dress. my name is Freya, goddess of war, death, love, and well you know the rest... If you don't then it's fine either way."

At first, all he did was stare up at him. However, his eyes nearly popped out of his head as his jaw dropped, a slight sense of panic coming over him as he fully realized the position he was in. He was in the personal presence of one of the Goddesses of Heaven! Maybe he had done something wrong? What on earth could he have done that a Goddess would--- .......wait. Did she say something about the dress... in his size? He didn't have much time to speak before the shop owners came back, indeed carrying the very dress he'd been looking at, just about the right size that would fit him. What came next... no one could have possibly seen coming.

"I know this might sound like a rude request, but could I ask you to try the dress on for me?"

Huh...

Huh?

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUH?!"

"Too unreasonable... Sorry to drag you in here... I'm not used to being among the mortals just yet... only been here roughly two weeks and I seemed to only meet one girl."

Celsius' expression softened slightly as he recalled that the gods had chosen to live among mortals and share an everyday human life with them. Naturally, one could not expect them to simply have grown accustomed to the do's and don'ts of human society. That, and Lady Freya honestly didn't seem to be all that bad, despite the most bizarre behavior and requests. He heaved out a sigh before opening his mouth again, before his eyes widened at the next thing that happened. Freya had folded up the dress and set it down on the counter, soon wandering off to look at other dresses, possibly make purchases before leaving. That much was made clear with her following words.

"Fashion truly is not my strong suit. I'm also sure the god and goddess of fashion never came down to the mortal world so I can't turn to them..."

Oy, oy... what was that remark about gods and goddesses of fashion..? It almost sounded like sarcasm to some degree... at least, that was how he first interpreted it. But those thoughts were soon disregarded as his eyes fell on the dress sitting on the counter once more, only looking to Freya as she briefly turned her head towards the door, as though pondering on leaving. His eyes soon began darting between Freya and the dress, his mind buzzing over what he should do. Should he comply and try on the dress? He really wanted that dress... but it was so embarrassing. But if he didn't, then there was no telling what may happen once Freya left. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was something itching at the back of his mind telling him he had to do this. It was do or die! For the lovely dress he'd been eyeballing for the past week!!

"W-w-wait! Wait! I'll... I-I'll... try it on..." he said, moving over to the table to take up the dress in his arms. He hugged it to himself as a curtain of crimson gradually stained his snowy-white skin, blue eyes averting slightly as he turned to the women and asked for a changing room. Once they pointed him in the right direction, he would disappear into a room behind a red curtain, the sound of clothes rustling being the only thing heard... well, that and a touch of grumbling here and there.

"N-no peeking! You hear me?!"

"You have nothing to worry about, it's my other half that would do something like that. not me."

Uh...what? What was that about her "other half"? Celsius honestly had no idea what she was talking about, but he wasn't going to start questioning a goddess either. Disregarding the strange reply, the young man returned to dressing himself in the outfit the woman had gone through the trouble with in finding one his size. As he slipped into the feminine silks, he found that they were actually very comfortable, very form-fitting. The dress itself was easy enough to put on. It was the ribbons that proved to be a bit of a hassle, save for the ones meant for his hair and his waist. After a bit of struggling with getting the other silks around his arms and pinning the roses on, he'd finally heave out a sigh before exiting the changing room.

The outfit as a whole seemed to compliment his feminine appearance. Well, that wasn't quite it, actually. If it weren't for the fact that he was in fact male, many people would probably mistake him for a young woman, a lot more-so than most already did. The shop owner and her assistant glanced over at Celsius, their cheeks lightly flushed with red as they seemed to admire the outcome of such a lovely outfit upon his figure. Seeing such made his own cheeks flare up in embarrassment, despite feeling comfortable in the thing overall. His head turned to come face-to-face with a nearby mirror, getting a chance to truly look himself over in the ensemble. He was surprised to see that he actually looked very nice in it. Especially considering the glaring factor of him being the opposite gender of who dresses were actually meant for. Then again, it couldn't do much harm, right?

Small hands reached down to take hold of the dress on either side, holding them out ever-so-slightly as he turned to one side, then the other as he looked himself over on all sides in the mirror. The smallest of smiles graced his lips before quickly fading away, a sigh leaving them as the cold, hard facts came back to his mind. With such a nice dress, there was no way he could afford it, especially considering that it was also H Ranked armor in its own respect with the benefits it provided. It was almost enough to make him regret trying it on in the first place.

The sound of metal clinking gingerly upon a flat surface made the Chienthrope's ears perk up once more, Celsius' head turning to find that Lady Freya had paid for the dress set in full. Blue eyes widened at the sight before turning his attention towards the woman, his mouth opening to speak, only to fall short as she had already left the shop within the same amount of time. After staring after Freya dumbfounded for a good minute or so, he'd finally snap out of it and give a slight bow to the shop owner and her assistant before running out of the door, scanning the area for the goddess. After spotting her, he walked briskly in order to catch up with her, a delicate hand reaching out to gingerly tug at the fabric of her clothing to stop her, eyebrows knitted together in a slight scowl as he finally spoke up once again.

"Oy... what's the meaning of this?", he questioned with a cynical tone in his voice. It was clear as day that he didn't quite trust the goddess, more than likely due to how he was typically treated by many of the other adventurers who resided within the city. He found this sudden act of kindness to be far too good to be true. That, and he didn't want to feel like he was indebted to a goddess with no way to pay her back. "No one just drops money for a complete stranger so they can wear something nice...what's the catch?"

Blue eyes only seemed to harden as they were practically glaring at Freya now, the hand which had taken hold of part of her clothing seeming to tremble in a mix of feared uncertainty as well as a growing anger. But on the off chance that this was a genuine act of kindness, he may find himself taking a very different approach from his usual dealings with people. He would simply have to wait and see what her response was...

To say that the boy was caught off guard upon seeing a drastic change in Lady Freya's eyes was an understatement. Within the brief moment she had been moving as slow as she was, Celsius felt a familiar pressure practically flooding from her being. A pressure that filled him with a feeling of dread, his eyes widening, pupils dilating as a shiver ran up his spine. His fair skin paled as he watched her hand slowly rise, seeming much larger than it actually was as it began to descend upon him. He himself, was completely frozen on the spot, clearly fear-stricken as a single thought seemed to come to his mind as this all happened.

Death

However, he would snap out of his terror-stricken trance as he felt a gentle hand upon his head, Freya's expression having softened to something much more gentle, a curtain of crimson upon her features as she spoke to him once again. "Is it not one of the mortal customs to buy things for others to show kindness. You accepted my out of the ordinary request and put the dress on, the least I could do is buy it since I made you wear such a thing no? To be fully honest with you, I just don't like the thought of someone your age going into the dungeon alone or unprepared. Me buying you that H rank armor is my way of showing that."

Celsius blinked a moment at her words, finding the sudden change between personalities rather disturbing. However, she did pose a point in the fact that H Rank armor would help him in the dungeon greatly in terms of surviving. Well, that and he'd look really good while doing so. Blue eyes followed Freya's turning head, soon looking up towards the direction of where something probably should have been, but would find nothing but the rooftops of the many buildings around them. His attention came back as Freya began to speak again, a bit more calmly than before.

"Another way you could look at it is a investment. You left the impression you just might go far in life. As someone who likes to invest in things before others do consider that a way I might use you to gain fame later as the person who helped get you your start if you wish to see me as evil. No matter how you wish to see my actions, what has been done is done, and time will tell if I was simply using you for my own gain, or if I truly do love to see cute boys in dresses, shame you had not been eyeing that maid outfit though."

Ooookay. Now Lady Freya was starting to sound a bit weirder than she already had. All of this talk about fame, and good and evil, and using others and... It made his head spin when he thought about it, honestly. If anything, he could agree with her taste in clothing as she mentioned the maid outfit in the next store over. But aside from that, this goddess seemed a bit... odd, to say the least. He soon figured perhaps this would be the best point for him to move on about his own day as she left, Celsius looking down at himself as he looked over the dress that was gifted to him once more. The smallest of smiles curled on his lips, a slight blush staining his cheeks. Maybe it would be best to head home to change into his Adventurer's Gear? He was in a good mood, and perhaps a run through the dungeon might yield good fortune after this interesting event? Yes. That seemed like a good idea. He turned on his heel to walk in the opposite direction, only passing one last glance towards the direction of Lady Freya before continuing onward.
