Dialogue

Hurry, hurry! Over heeere! It's been a long time since I've been shopping. We're going to check out ALL the stores! ...Huh? Why do you look so surprised? You can't do proper shopping without seeing everything. A person needs a lot to look stylish! Clothes, shoes, accessories, makeup... the whole megillah! So I need to visit every store in town until I have the perfect look. Now let's go already! Hello there, miss. Please, won't you take a look at my fine accessories? Kinda weird to find a stall in a back alley like this, but sure! Show me the goods. My artisan merchandise costs top dollar, but I promise it is worth every penny. Oh wow... These are so cute! But the price is anything BUT cute. Time to bust out the haggling! A thousand apologies, miss, but our prices are quite firm. Perhaps your brother there would be willing to purchase something for his adorable little sister. ...Little sister? Er... Are you trying to say I'm a kid?! Is THAT what you think?! Er, n-no! I was simply... Um... Oh, look at the time! I'm afraid we must be closing now. Ta-ta! Ugh. What was UP with that guy? Do I really seem like that much of a kid...? ...Well, it's been a full day of shopping. But in the end, I couldn't find anything that really called out to me. I mean, there was that white dress with flowers that was super cute... It was a nice grown-up dress, but it didn't suit me at all. I feel like it would take an adult to really pull it off. *sigh* Of course, if I WERE an adult, I might not have gotten into that fight with Ranzal in the first place. ...Hmm? Did you say something, Euden? ...The clothes I'm wearing? What about 'em? They...look good on me? Okay, where's THIS coming from? These clothes aren't grown-up at all. I mean, don't get me wrong—it's a GREAT outfit. As soon as I saw it, I was like BOOM—that's fate. I just had to buy it. ...Oh. I get what you're saying now. Outfits like this are what suit me! I could force myself into wearing some kind of grown-up-looking dress, but that wouldn't be stylish at all. I don't need a bunch of fancy adult clothes to be charming... I'm most charming when I'm being ME! That's totally what you were trying to get at, right? Heh. I knew it. I really AM a genius! But you know what? Today, you're ALSO a genius, Euden! Looks like I made the right call coming here with you. So thanks for that. Now c'mon. Let's go back. After all, this is still a date until we actually get home, right? Hee hee!
