Round One. Start! [PRIVATE]

When they made their way into the shop it game Desmond a few moments to himself. Admittedly he was enjoying his time with the aqua hair'd beauty, something he didn't doo all too often. So when he was given the chance to further immerse himself with her he took it gladly. But for the time being she had made herself busy to find a suit which would fit her which Hayden did not what so ever. It was to be expected that she might take some time, despite Nel's rather simple style of clothing she seemed to have a particular taste which floated between sensual and carefree.

It made him wonder how Abalia even got Nelliel out her house without looking too 'indecent' for her own looks. Speaking of her looks, Hayden found himself drifting to them while he remained seated on the bench. No one can deny that the woman was beautiful, and had a body most women might envy. In many ways she'd make a suitable candidate for- absolutely not. A brief look of discomfort would cross his face as he reached into his pocket revealing a smart phone, beginning to idly browse through his mailbox as if to force such thoughts away from his head.

But there was the issue that he was a single man who had yet to actually achieve anything of note with someone. He could easily feel the naggings of Abalia on his heels, the fact of the matter was Vastime needed a royal family for security- and a young king couldn't remain without heir forever.

But as such thoughts came again he heard the sound of the opening doors to reveal the green hair'd woman, causing his hand to loosen on his phone. Of course she'd want his opinion as he let an easy smile onto his lips, truth be told he wasn't completely helpless to her charm. Between a superb internal will and a reassurance in himself he was able to convey what he wanted without missing a step.

"You look amazing, I think you should get it. It fits, you."

He'd remark but what happened next did catch him off guard, as she turned around and bent over his phone would fall onto the ground out of surprise. His face would heat up as he heard a loud crack, surely Nel heard it too, to reveal his phone had cracked against the cool surface of the floor. It seemed the flashing display of Nel had ended up in him losing his wits for a second as he quickly snatched his cracked phone up slipping it in his pockets.

"I'm sure you can wear it and they ring it up! I, sorry-" He'd sputter for a second before taking a deep breath walking over to her. The ignorance of her earlier actions made him feel as if he should say something, he didn't like the idea of someone else seeing that or abusing his innocence. A callous hand would rest on her forearm, emerald green eyes gazing at her. "If I may be so bold, but I fear that if I do not speak it would be illadvised.." The man would begin the flush to his cheeks dying softly turning back to bronze skin.

"You should be more cautious of how you move when wearing such clothes. You are very beautiful. I do not like the idea of people leering at you." He'd clear his throat, as if to remain some semblance of dignity and kingly appearance. He wasn't the best with words but he hoped that his ability to speak out conveyed his intentions, that he cared for her wellbeing.

"It should be perfect for it. Yes."

As she followed Hayden to the counter and watched it all curiously, given that her own culture was a lot different to this an idea of consumerism was pretty neat to her. It was much better than pillaging but she still felt that barter was the best way, how could those moneys be more valuable than objects that were more useful? Maybe that was just her but she didn't get to hung up on it. Lifting up her shirt to show off the bikini top to the girl at the counter when Hayden gave her his own shorts but she was already wearing her's so this was the best way to show what she had.

When they had left the store she looked at him when he began talking about their outing, a date if you will even though Nelliel wouldn't necessarily call it that. Regardless of how much it could be interpreted as such though she watched him while she spoke and thought about how to respond.

"Well you could always find friends. That's what I did. I just ran into Abalia one day and now we're besties. Even so taking up the mantle of leader is never an easy task, once you find yourself at the top it's lonelier there. Like standing on a mountain with only the wind as your friend. That's why I never wanted to be strong, I lack the mettle for such a life."

Shifting to be a bit more solemn in her comments, if not sounding pretty different from her apparent naive and goofy self but she didn't want to stay focused on thoughts like that. That'd sour the mood, she felt bad just bringing it up into their conversation while trying to sound sympathetic. As they kept pace though a new player appeared on the board and caught her attention. Primarily due to his bright red mop of a hairstyle that was hard to ignore and he came up.

"Huh? You know me? That's weird. I would've thought I'd have been forgotten by most already haha"

Laughing and giving a smile to this new person, hey he could even be a friend for Hayden. She did just mention how you meet friends just wandering about right? What a good opportunity for that now. He clearly didn't seem at all concerned about the man's status as a King or anything which made it perfectly fine as well. What better candidate for a companion than this man here?

"Yes yes, I'm Nelliel or Nel if you prefer, what's your's?"
