Walking quickly, Haiiro made a beeline for the checkout not even looking back. Felis hesitated and rubbed the back of his head as Lex and Law waited for some sort of response. "Well... if ...er... you wanted to come with us, we're going shopping elsewhere," Felis replied rubbing the back of his neck lightly. Felis wasn't good at saying no to say the least of it.
Lex and Law looked at each other before smirking and nodding. "Sure," Law replied, and Lex nodded his head. Felis mentally sweat dropped but smiled and nodded before turning to follow after Elayne and Haiiro, a bit slower.
Upon coming to the check out, Haiiro stopped and looked back finally. Upon seeing that Felis, Lex, and Law were far enough away, he looked sideways at Elayne. "Be careful... your cousin...er... I might have screwed something up..." he replied quickly. The woman at the check out looked at Elayne and then at the dress before smiling and asking if she wanted to check out.

Hearing what Haii said, Elayne paled slightly and wondered what Haii could have messed up but before she had a chance to ask the woman spoke up. Nodding slightly Elayne pulled the undergarments from her pocket, mumbling something under her breath as she did so before setting the dress down as well. Well ... at least Lex and Law weren't here to see exactly what else she had chosen. Hopefully the twins wouldn't join them on the rest of their shopping trip. "Thanks for the warning,"Elayne mumbled before paying for the items, taking her bag, and heading towards the entrance.[/scrolly] |

After Elayne bought the dress, Haiiro followed her towards the entrance. Meanwhile, Felis walked a bit quicker to catch the two before they actually left, and Lexington and Lawrence walked a little faster in turn to keep up with Felis. "Eliot! Haiiro slow down!" Felis called. Haiiro groaned but stopped at the entrance and turned to view Felis as the blond caught up. Lex and Law were on his heels. "Goodness you two walk so fast," Felis laughed a little rubbing the back of his head.
Haiiro just stared at Felis before sighing and looking at Lex and Law. ".....Nice meet you," he stated dryly before turning to leave. Lex smirked a little. "Actually we were wondering if we could follow you around a bit and get to know you~" the purple haired man replied causing Haiiro to tense and stare at the man. Lawrence nodded his head causing Felis to smile and laugh a little nervously. Haiiro leered at Felis as well but sighed.
"Ah yeah.. Eli, you wanted to go and get your art supplies too, right?" Felis asked. Haiiro said nothing but stared at Felis with an almost accusing stare.

When Felis caught up Elayne smiled at him only to see Lex and Law were right behind him and paled slightly. What ... what were they doing here ... ? Surely they weren't going to come with them ... . Elayne's hopes were dashed when Lex spoke up ... well this certainly wasn't going as planned. Giving a nervous smile, Elayne nodded slightly not knowing how to say no without it seeming like she was hiding something. Hearing Felis' next words, Elayne turned to face him and nodded."Yeah ... you said something about knowing a good art store before?"Elayne asked calmly hoping that Lex and Law would just leave. Her hands were beginning to shake, a sure sign that Elayne was on the verge of panicking. After what Haii had said earlier, Elayne was beginning to get more worried and anxious by the minute especially now that it seemed the twins would be joining them.[/scrolly] |

Felis nodded his head lightly at Elayne's reply. "Yep~ just down the street..." he said a bit quieter than before. Haiiro just nodded, held open the door, and started out. A moment of hesitation more and Felis followed as well. Lex and Law just exchanged glances before following as well. There was something to be found, especially with the Duke there, and if anything they could both have fun.
Once everyone was on the street, Felis started walking up the street in a bit quicker paced manner than usual. Haiiro ended up slowing down a bit and standing next to Elayne which only caused Lex to speed up and come to 'Eliot's' other side while Law walked even faster still and caught up with Felis. "So where ya from?" Lex asked casually enough. Haiiro had to fight off the urge to leer again at Lex and just sighed a little.
"Orre," was all he answered back with. Lex smiled and then looked towards Eliot expecting an answer.
Meanwhile, Law had started to exchange a few words with Felis here and there about where he was from as well, as if the blue haired man didn't already know.

She was still quite nervous about Lex and Law having decided to follow them but had decided to make the best of it. It wasn't often she got to see Haiiro anyway and Elayne wasn't going to let the twins ruin her day. Breathing out quietly, Elayne tried to relax when she heard Lex ask a question almost making her jump. "Era, I grew up here,"Elayne replied calmly,"How about you?"she asked after a moment.[/scrolly] |

Lex smirked at the two answers. So one of them was from pretty far off, but the other was local...which meant that this Eliot was probably closer to the Duke than the other... "I'm from Era I think..." he answered back shrugging his shoulders slowly. A part of him had always questioned if Era was really his birthplace, but in the end, it didn't matter anyways. Haiiro looked sideways at Lex and raised an eyebrow at the somewhat ambiguous words, yet neither said anything.
After a moment, Felis looked back and flashed a smile at Elayne. "Eli! Look see it's right over there," Felis commented making a directional point towards the shops. Haiiro looked up and sure enough, what appeared to be a large store with a palette in front of it could be seen. Lawrence who had been talking to Felis was now looking up towards the building. He wasn't really a fan of art, but if these people liked it... "I've drawn a bit before...." he commented causing Felis to look back and flash a smile.

Well ... that was vague, how could you not know where you were from anyway. Eh ... no matter, if Lex wanted to be vague about where he was from that was fine. When Felis brought the art store to her attention Elayne brightened and gestured for the store,"Come on let's go!" she said excitedly before taking Haii's hand and heading toward the store.[/scrolly] |

Suddenly having his hand taken, Haiiro was almost dragged but quickly sped up to keep pace with Elayne. Soon enough, both had gotten to the art store, and after a moment, Haiiro pulled open the door and led the way inside. The cold blast of air was somewhat of a dismal feeling partially refreshing and partially annoying to the dark haired man.
Meanwhile, Felis sweat dropped and found himself looking sideways at Law just in time for Lex to come up on his other side. "......so I'm guessing they're in the closet... or at least one of them is" Lex stated flatly causing Law to exchange a look at him before looking forwards again. Felis laughed weakly and rubbed the back of his neck a little. "I...I'd say so," Felis sighed after a moment shaking his head a little. "It's not really a bad thing..." Lawrence commented though a part of him was growing more and more sure that that wasn't actually the case. The boy simply looked to feminine.....

Blushing slightly she released his hand and mumbled something along the lines of sorry under her breath. She had forgotten that she was pretending to be a guy and ... well holding Haii's hand certainly wasn't going to help that appearance. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just Felis and Haii but Lex and Law were with them too ... yeah this was awkward. Elayne shook her head slightly and began to look around the store, eyes bright as she went through various art supplies.
"Let me see ... I need more notebooks, paint ... pencils would be good too. Oh look they have charcoal!"Elayne said in a calm voice before getting distracted and going over to the charcoal pencils. She had been looking for charcoal for quite some time but hadn't had much luck hence her excitement in actually finding some. Picking up a few packages of the charcoal pencils (enough to last at least a few months), Elayne began to browse through the art store picking up things here and there until her arms were rather full. "Do you think they have a basket or something here Haii? I don't think I can carry all of this heh,"Elayne asked after a moment as she looked down at the armful of supplies she had picked up ... and she still needed some paint and hmmm there was just too much neat stuff in here.[/scrolly] |

Having his hand suddenly released caused Haiiro to slowly roll his thumb across the inside of his hand nothing the glove was now missing something. Mentally kicking himself for the reaction, he shook his head a few times only to realize Elayne had already started farther into the store. Quickly following after her, Haiiro began to look around himself. He wasn't that fond of drawing, rather he hadn't ever picked it up considering battling had always been his sole hobby, but... dang there was a lot of stuff in the shop. It both looked cluttered and then somehow organized which, oddly enough, put Haiiro on edge.
As Elayne spoke, Haiiro's focus turned back to her, and for a few seconds, he simply stared at her with her arms all full of supplies that oddly enough seemed to fit her at the moment. It was... Blinking again, Haiiro shook his head and looked around the store rather quickly. "I think..." he started before walking back to the front right as Felis, Lex, and Law walked in. Stopping in mid step, Haiiro quickly recuperated and picked up a basket from the front.
"Oh really?" Feliciano asked as he looked at Lex. The purple haired man smirked and nodded. At some point, Lawrence had come to stand beside his brother instead of next to Felis, but from his position, he nodded as well. Felis broke into a cheesy grin and chuckled a bit to himself prompting the other two to laugh as well.
"Yeah I don't know either but it was really cool," Lex chuckled. Lawrence, meanwhile, turned his attention towards Haiiro as the man walked forwards, and for one second, gold eyes met dark blue ones, and something a bit more sinister found itself running down Haiiro's back. Looking away rather quickly as he turned and walked back towards Elayne Haiiro walked a little faster and made no note to Felis.
The blond haired man turned his head just in time to watch Haiiro walk away, and for a brief moment, he looked confused. "Something wrong Hai?" the blond called, but there was no answer. Felis shook his head and was about to look back at Lex and Law only to notice that Law was gone.
The blue haired man had quickly made his way around the back portion of the store and came walking with a rather quick step towards Elayne. "You're a chick, aren't you?" Law said flatly.

She had just set a few of the notebooks on a shelf so she could place a few of the smaller items on top of them when Law came up behind Elayne. Dropping the eraser she had been holding, Elayne blushed and quickly picked up the eraser thankful her hair had covered at least some part of her face. "What!?"Elayne managed to squeak out after the initial shock of Law suddenly appearing behind her wore off. "Me a- ... what would give you that idea?"Elayne continued attempting to sound as if she was joking when in reality her heart felt as if it would beat out of her chest,"That's ridiculous."
Quickly finishing organizing her things so that she could at least carry them, Elayne picked up the items she had chosen thus far and was about to continue down the aisle when she saw Haii. Relieved that he had found a basket, Elayne shifted the stack in her arms slightly and placed the items in the basket before taking it from him,"Thanks Haii,"she replied quietly, her voice sounding more nervous than before. As she continued down the aisle picking out various items Elayne prayed that nobody would notice the slight tremor in her hands that she just couldn't seem to stop. ... it had been a mistake to come out here even dressed like this ... or at least that's what Elayne was beginning to think after hearing Law's question.[/scrolly] |

The reply only cause Lawrence to stare for a few seconds. Raising an eyebrow, he stared but said nothing just yet even as Eliot started to walk down the aisle. Setting a hand on his chin, he debated whether he wanted to pursue the matter or not. It didn't really matter to him whether this young androgynous creature was male or female, but it did make him wonder what the hiding was about. Maybe there was something more to it. Either way, it had caught Law's attention, and like Lex, he wasn't one to let things go.
Haiiro had just turned down the aisle looking for Elayne, yet it seemed that she found him before he found her. Holding out the basket silently, Haiiro nodded a little at Elayne's words and looked up only to notice Lawrence was staring at them. The hairs on the back of Haiiro's neck stood on end again, and for a few seconds, he just stared before looking away and noticing that Elayne had already started away again. Following quickly after her, Haiiro found himself staring at Elayne's form as a whole. Something was wrong. The way she was carrying herself just didn't feel right... "What's wrong?" he asked looking back after that towards where Law was following.
Meanwhile, Lex and Felis were chatting towards the front and had both started to go over to the still life sexton chatting all the way.

She would just try to get her mind off of Law for the moment and just get through the rest of the day. Turning down the aisle where the painting supplies seemed to be Elayne started to go through them albeit a little slower than before. When she heard Haii speak Elayne slowly shook her head,"Nothing ... ,"she replied quietly, her own voice and eyes betraying her. Glancing over at Law, Elayne's grip on the paintbrushes she was holding tightened slightly causing her fingers to turn white and the cardboard to warp slightly as a result of the added pressure. "Nothing ... ,"Elayne said again, quieter this time before going back to looking at the painting supplies.[/scrolly] |

The answer he received wasn't what Haiiro was looking for, and the expression Elayne gave back to him confirmed that she was lying. A quiet 'tch' sound escaped from him as they continued on up until Elayne stopped and started looking at the painting supplies. Leering down towards Law who had stopped and was now smirking a little at the prospects of being right all along, Haiiro was silent for a few seconds before he suddenly took Elayne's wrist and started tugging her further down the aisle rather quickly before making a sharp turn and ducking behind the set-up of canvas that provided enough cover but could easily be dispelled if Law walked around it. After a moment, he looked rather quickly at Elayne. "What is wrong?" he repeated in a lower tone than before. The sounds of someone approaching could be heard though they remained farther off for now.

"Hai-,"Elayne began before they turned the corner. When Haii ducked behind the canvas Elayne did the same and averted her gaze when Haii repeated his prior question. Heh ... Haii never was one to simply let things go. "I shouldn't have come ... ," |
[/size]Elayne whispered after a moment, clenching a fist in an attempt to ease the shaking at least somewhat, "I ... I think Law knows ... ,"[/size]she continued, her voice just barely above a whisper. Elayne's heart was beating faster as she heard footsteps approaching and closed her eyes, trying to relax and just breathe ... . Despite her efforts it was clear that Elayne was shaken by what Law had said to her as Elayne attempted to stop the shaking in her hands by clenching her fists so tightly the knuckles were white.[/scrolly][/td][/tr][/table][/center]

Haiiro tensed as Elayne finally explained what was wrong, but it didn't settle him at all. Instead, he found himself looking around the shop rather quickly before looking towards Elayne. No iffs, ands, or buts he was getting her out of here. The were getting away from Lex and Law even if it meant having to run off from Elayne's cousin in the process. Haiiro... didn't like to see her so shaken. "Elayne I need you to set that down..." he said making a motion to the basket and her paints. "We'll find a different store if need be," he said before pretty much taking the basket from her and setting it down. After a moment, he looked off towards the sounds of feet and the sight of Law walking down the aisle. Looking towards the entrance, Haiiro looked back again. "We're going to get away," he said flatly before waiting a few seconds, taking hod of Elayne's hand, and running towards the front door with a burst of speed. Damn it all, he wanted to fight rather than run, but fighting just provoked more questions...

At the explanation Elayne's eyes grew wide and was about to object when she felt him take hold of her hand and start running towards the entrance. Speeding up to try and keep up with Haii and not be dragged through the store, Elayne all but sprinted out the door and didn't stop until they were at least out of sight of the art supply store. Stopping to catch her breath, Elayne looked up at Haii after a moment,"Wh- ... why ... ?" she managed after a moment.[/scrolly] |

Finally stopping, he looked back a moment and breathed out slowly before actually hearing Elayne's question. "Because if he turned out to be a bounty hunter, I'd have killed him," he snapped a little harder than intended. Upon realizing this, Haiiro blinked and sweat dropped before sighing quietly and shaking his head not wanting to say any more. He'd rather not know if the man was any threat or not. If he knew, then there was a problem, and.... The image of a blond haired woman with guns came to mind causing Haiiro to grit his teeth. [/scrolly] |

But ... there was that time when that bounty hunter had appeared out of nowhere and if Law knew her identity well it certainly wouldn't bode well. Elayne knew she was rather easily recognized but in her current outfit hopefully things would be different now that they were away from the twins. Suddenly stepping forward and embracing Haii, Elayne continued to hold him her slight frame shaking slightly still. "Thank you ... ,"Elayne replied quietly after a moment though she still didn't let go of Haii.[/scrolly] |
