Syl smiled at her happily as they entered the store.
"I think it's better if you go into one of the changing rooms, miss Karashi. In order for my coat to fit you, you'd have to change back. Don't worry; I'll pass you some clothes so you can change in privacy. You needn't worry; everything will be alright."
Syl looked around at the store. It was cute, filled with clothes of various sizes and posters of teenage models. The cashier was a mindless blonde-haired teen, smiling at them merrily while giving Syl and Karashi that same vacant stare. Her name tag said 'Anna.' Syl didn't bother asking her where the changing rooms were, it just headed straight into the store.
"Please be patient, miss Karashi," said Syl gently, "I haven't been to this store before, so I don't know where they are, but I'll find them eventually!"
It looked around the store, trying to find out where were the changing rooms. Kiel had described them as being cubicle-thingies whose top was open so you could throw in clothes while the door was closed and the person was changing. It was all a perplexing affair for Syl. It didn't understand much in the way of why humans needed it. Why were they so ashamed of showing their bodies? If it was because of a deformity, why couldn't they get used to it and not treat it as an embarrassement? Humans are such perplexing creatures, thought Syl, so perplexing...

Rosa and Mazrin immediately noticed the newcomers as they entered the shop, although they hadn't seemed to have noticed them yet. Rosa began walking towards them, but Maz placed a hand on her shoulder, giving her a questioning look. She continued on, obviously not worried about what dangers these people could bring. Rosa walked up behind them, with Maz closely behind her.
"Whats up with the naked chick?" was the first thing that came out of Rosa's mouth.
"Subtle." spoke Maz.

((um, karashi is human and naked))
Karashi frowned. "Um..........hello?" She tried to shield herself, but she failed, and tears came to her eyes. She hated being seen naked. "P-Please don't look at me......."

Syl gasped, as Karashi changed back to being human. It was taken aback at how suddenly she did it; Syl thought shapeshifters to have slower transformations than this - transformations that took minutes rather than seconds.
"Miss Karashi!"
Syl laid her down on the ground, before taking off its coat and wrapping her in it. It felt a bit weird without it, as it wore it around everywhere, never taking it off. Well, it would have to cope and ask her for it when she was done. Syl liked it very much -
"Here," it said, "until we can find something, you can wear this, alright?"
It turned back to see a woman and man standing near them. They appeared as humans, but Syl could instantly detect that they were of both human and demon heritage. It was very clear in their auras, to the point where if Syl hadn't been paying so much attention to Karashi, it would have detect them easily at this proximity. Still, it showed no signs of analyzing them, instead, looking concerned to Karashi.
"Ah, um... hello there," said Syl shyly, giving them an embarassed smile, "we're just here to get some new clothes for miss Karashi here. I'm really sorry for interrupting you there, really sorry..."

"I'm really sorry for interrupting you there, really sorry..."
Rosa chuckled as the person spoke. Why were people so quick to apologize?
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Maz said seriously, his expression still showing little signs of emotion, other than a slight smile to be courteous.
"Quite right, no apology necessary." Rosa stated with a smile, before turning her attention to the girl, who appeared upset. "The changing rooms are over there." Rosa said, pointing to three stalls against a wall close to them. "If you need any help don't hesitate to ask."

Karashi frowned and nodded, wrapping the coat around her form tightly. She then looked at the human girl who had spoken, and then at the so called 'changing rooms'. She frowned. "Um, what are these things called clothes? And how does one such as you wear them?"

Syl smiled.
"Clothes are what people wear to protect themselves from cold, rain, as well as to provide some decency like what you wanted now. You know, to prevent yourself from being seen naked. Coats, like the my coat there, is example of a clothing."
It knelt down beside her and picked her up, seeing as she was so tightly wrapped in its coat, and started walking toward the changing rooms.
"You can wear this until you find something else to wear, alright?" said Syl to Karashi, "I'm sure there's something here that you'll like."
It turned to the young-looking woman near them. She seemed nice, but Syl wasn't keen on making any assumptions.
"Thank you very much for pointing out the changing rooms, miss," said Syl, "how about you help us in picking out some new clothes for her? That would be much appreciated."

"Why not." Rosa said cheerfully. "What types of clothing do you like? Bright colors, dark colors, formal, casual, there really is a lot to choose from. Mazrin, what do you think?"
Mazrin let out a small sigh, his arms remaining crossed. He smiled at Rosa. "I think your forgetting that I have no knowledge of fashion." Maz spoke, mocking Rosa's earlier statement."
"Well, its true." Rosa said with a laugh, before turning to the others. "What do you think... well, it appears I don't know what to call you, which could make things very awkward indeed." Rosa continued to smile as she spoke, always enjoying herself when she was able to joke around.

Karashi looked at all the clothes, then turned back to the woman. "I want it to be comfortable, but also flexible in case I turn wolf. Also, you can call me Karashi."

Syl smiled at the at the man and the woman.
"Thanks for your help," it said, "My name is Sylredrae, or Syl for short."
It held Karashi close to it, as it turned away and walked toward the changing rooms.
"I'll drop you off at the changing rooms, miss Karashi, and we'll see if we can find some clothes that fit you."
As it soon as it found a changing room, it set down Karashi on the seat there and smiled.
"I'll be right back, miss Karashi."
With that, it closed the door behind it, but left it unlocked. Syl had noticed that these doors could only be locked from the inside, and it had no intention of demonstrating its flying abilities right now. It returned to the man and woman in the store, smiling.
"How about we start now, miss?"

"You can call me Rosa, and this is my brother Mazrin." Rosa said cheerfully to Syl.
"Our other brother, Viscum, is currently otherwise occupied." Maz spoke, his hands returning to his sides.
"More than likely in a bottle of whiskey by now." Rosa said with a small chuckle, while Maz looked at her with a slightly disappointed look. Rosa just shrugged her shoulders and walked off, indicating for Mazrin and Syl to follow. "Now what kind of thing would she like? You've known her longer than we have," Rosa said to Syl. "What do you think she'd be fond of?"

Syl bowed before them.
"Pleased to meet you."
It then followed the woman, Rosa, with a smile on its face. It wasn't sure what to think about her, but she seemed nice
"Well, actually I don't know about her tastes in clothing," said Syl cheerfully. "That's why I would like some help in picking out something for her. How about we just try our best and see if there's anything in here that she might like?"

"What about this?" Rosa asked, holding up a small strappy top that wouldn't really cover anything. Maz glanced at the top, raising an eyebrow and giving her a look that made his opinion perfectly clear. "Yeah, your right, wouldn't really suit her."
Rosa threw the top behind her and Maz shot out a hand, almost like he was ready for the throw, and grabbed the top in his hand. Rosa pulled out a skirt that ended just below knee length.
"She said she wanted something flexible, right? How do you think she feels about skirts?"

Syl smiled as it watched the siblings' antics. In a way, it could relate to them. It did have a sibling of its own, Kiel. It reminded of all the good-natured arguing they did in the past. It made Syl even happier.
It cocked its head at what Rosa showed it.
"I don't know," it replied, "how about we keep it and find out later? Let's try looking for stuff in small and medium sizes... I think that'll fit..."
It started shifting through the racks of clothing, seeing many pretty ones, ranging from wierd shirt thingies with many straps, tiny skirts and massive blouses with logos and symbols on them, that Syl couldn't understand. Then there were the garishly coloured jackets with lots of pocket on them, and...
"To be honest, I've never done this before," said Syl, as it looked through the clothing racks, "I don't remember clothes shopping before, honestly...."
It pulled out a black miniskirt with a various designs and company logos on them. Unbenownst to Syl, some of those designs were of human skulls, although to it, they looked like cute tokens.
"What's this, by the way? It looks wierd."
In its other hand, it held up a tiny pink shirt with green polka dots on it. From the looks of it, it was made to cover the chest only - which left the neck, shoulders and midriff exposed. It confused Syl. Why would people wear something like this?
"And what about this, miss Rosa?" asked Syl, with a confused expression on its face.

Rosa looked at the clothes Syl had in his hands and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Maz let out a small chuckle as well, this Syl seemed a little clueless about what was classed as fashionable.
"That kind of clothing isn't really appropriate for our current location Syl. Maybe if we were at a trendy club, but not for this city." Rosa said with another laugh as she reached for a black jacket with no sleeves and a collar that would look better stuck up. "Now this would suit her."
