[Felix gladly lets the associate do the work--it's her job, after all--and tries not to give in to the urge to keep checking his Gear for messages. Just in case Sylvain wakes up while he's out. Ugh, he's being pathetic. He's got to find something else to occupy himself, but watching Felicity shop really isn't what he had in mind.

In the end, he does pull out his Gear and a pair of earbuds so he can watch videos of cats being adorable until someone addresses him directly. When asked what the limits of their budget is for this shopping trip, he shrugs and tells the associate not to worry about it. So when they start talking about accessories, he basically ignores it.]

[ Shopping was so much easier when it was just a smash and grab, honestly. Thankfully Jinx is steady against the waves of up-sale attempts. There's no way in hell she's replacing her necklace, for instance, and she doesn't need an accompanying one either. ... Matching shoes are a bit of a requirement though.

Once everything is truly settled, she goes to get Felix. Shopping threads are difficult. ]

[Felix hurriedly stops the video and turns off his Gear display when she approaches, pulling his earbuds out as he looks up.] Did you find everything?

Mhm. It should all be perfect for tonight. [ Honestly, it was kind of a shame that she probably wouldn't get to do more with this dress, but opportunities would likely be sparse. ] ... Thank you, again. For everything, I mean.

[Felix gives her a short nod and a quiet grunt of acknowledgment. Ordinarily he might try to play it off as a practical solution to some perceived problem or fulfilling some owed debt; today, on her birthday and after what that Indeedee showed him, he doesn't want to make her think this isn't truly for her. He just hopes that their...family outing...speaks for itself with what he can't bring himself to put into words.

He heads over to the register to pay for everything, ignoring whatever the associate might try to engage him in conversation about, and is abruptly glad he didn't bring Varley when he spots the shelves of cute accessories for Pokemon. She would definitely demand (and/or try to steal) something for herself.

...which takes him to the thought that if Sylvain were here, too, he would buy her whatever she wanted and call her a princess. Possibly with a literal tiara. Ugh, he's got to find a way to put Sylvain out of his mind for at least a little while.]

Where else did you want to go?

[ A quick check of the time...Oh, cool, they had plenty. ]

That tea store I mentioned?

[ It'd likely just be window shopping for now, since she just gave him a shitton of tea just two days prior, but seeing it for himself would be nice. She doesn't even consider that maybe on this, the day of her 16th birthday, she should... like. Take her wants into account. (Of all the times to not be a little selfish.) ]

If you like, although you must have just been there a few days ago. And I certainly won't need to buy tea for quite some time. [A slight smirk.]

I did say I wanted to at least show you! [ Though, it'd probably be more within his interests to just give him the website later now that she thinks about it. There's some other physical stores in different towns, but he also travels more... And, well, would he really want to come back to Ecruteak? Now she's got doubts. ]

[personal profile] bestswordmaster 2021-03-11 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Why? Is there something unusual about it?

[It's not sarcasm, just a legitimate question. He can't figure out why she would need to show him a store if they weren't planning to buy anything there anyway.]
fortuna_tenax: (fanart by mollykflood.tumblr.com !) (don't tell me you can't do that)

I mean, if you don't want to? I just thought you'd like to see it in person since it's where I got most of your teas and stuff, because somehow I get the feeling you'd like to know what you're working with if you ever use the online store.

[ She just shrugs, and looks through windows as they pass by more stores. Some things catch her attention audibly, like a cute outfit or even cuter plushies. Some do not, but she's still eyeing it, like laptops and tablets. ]

[He shrugs, too.]

I don't care one way or the other. We can visit it if that's what you want.

[He watches her as they walk along from shop to shop, even as his own attention drifts to the occasional thing in a store window that he thinks Sylvain or Inda might like. Shopping is boring, but the more involved he gets in giving gifts, the more it seems to creep into his mind whenever the opportunity arises. It's annoying, actually; it feels like some kind of insidious manipulation, although by whom he doesn't know. Himself, maybe, for being so sentimental about mere objects.

(He's still a little upset that the few possessions he really cares about didn't accompany him to this world. Like his weapons, of course, but also Glenn's spur.)

Still, at one point he does duck into a shop to pick up a tiny little pair of Steenee-sized mittens (sometimes Inda gets cold, okay??) and--glancing around to make sure no one's looking at him, yes Felicity that includes you (though he might fail)--a headband with cat ears that are obviously supposed to be Liepard ears. This is for Sylvain, so that if he ever makes Felix wear that dumb Steenee hat, he has something to use in retaliation.

And if Felicity shows any particularly strong desire for one thing over others, Felix may duck into that store too and buy it.]
