Alex was mummbling under her breath as she faught with Bridgit on what she had done. When Aislin cooed through the door she turned red again and looked at herself in the dressing room mirror. No. Dresses don't look good on her. Ever. She was too boyish plus she was just fine with pants and too big shirts. Lost in thought she hadn't heard Aislin say she was coming in when the door opened she yelped her eyes going wide as she tripped on the dress and fell onto the little bench in an attempt to get away.
Her face already red seemed to get redder with a tint of red working its way to her collar bones. Standing back up she was absolutely mortified that Aislin had just seen that display of clumsiness. At her question Alex crossed her arms across her chest. "Cause dresses don't look good on me. Bridgit it the one who likes dresses and I feel more comfortable in my shirts and pants." She was not mentioning she just felt absolutely embarrassing in a dress. She hadn't been raised to like dresses. "Hehe. Shes just embarrassed. Shut it Bridgit!"

Aislin let out a small sympathetic sigh and placed her right hand gently on Alex' cheek. "Alex, it looks great on you." Aislin stated, trailing her fingers down Alex's face then dropping it down to hold Alex' hand, firmly, but lightly enough that Alex could pull her hand out if she wanted to.
Feeling that wasn't quite enough and she wasn't really getting anywhere just yet, she added to her previous statement. "Yes, you look good in your normal clothes, but you also look good in this. It's more fancy, it might not be as casual as your used to, but you are definitely beautiful in it. Just because you're not used to wearing feminine clothes doesn't mean they immediately look horrible on you. Then again, I think you'd look good in almost anything you put on." Aislin continued, scooting a little closer to Alex. She leaned in and kissed Alex on the cheek, then with her free left hand, gingerly turned Alex' face towards her own. She leaned in again and let her lips brush against Alex' briefly.
She gave Alex a small smile. "If you really can't bare wearing that dress, I won't force you to wear it, but I would be really happy if you did." Aislin commented. She sat, still holding Alex' hand, for several moments before standing up and letting go. "I'll leave you alone to change out of it for a moment. When you and Bridgit come out we should probably buy the dresses we've picked out and, for your sake, move on to a computer store for a bit. Sound fair?" Aislin said before slipping out of the dressing room and standing outside, waiting for Alex and Bridgit. She leaned against the wall gently, holding the dress Bridgit had helped her select against her lap and watching the door for Alex or Bridgit to emerge from the dressing room.

Alex looked in the mirror again before looking away again. As Aislin took her hand she would have pulled away but Bridgit stopped her by taking charge of that arm. Running the fingers of her free right hand through her hair she glanced at Aislin out of the corner of her eye before she was given a slight shock as Aislin kissed her cheek. Feeling herself blush she almost cursed under her breath only to have the words caught in her throat as Aislin turned her head and brushed her lips lightly against Alex's. Stunned into silence all she could do was listen and watch Aislin.
Blinking she felt the blush creep back onto her cheeks. Seriously? She wasn't going to buy the dress....Or wear it! That was final. Bridgit giggled in her head. "Er...Uh. Yeah. Lets do that. Before Bridgit gets anymore stupid ideas." Once Aislin had left Alex quickly got dressed into her normal clothes and placed the black dress on the hanger. She wasn't going to give it anymore thought. Not even a little. Receding to the back of her and Bridgit's mind she allowed the blonde, who with a flick of her wrist looked like Bridgit again, take over. Bridgit giggled from the dressing room and took the light pink dress, red dress, and the black dress (this one with out Alex's knowledge) and exited.
Smiling at Aislin she kissed the vampire girl on the cheek. "Come come lets go!" When she walked past Aislin to the cashiers it was obvious that the black dress had been sandwiched between the red and pink dress. Quickly she laid them on the counter and looked at Aislin while the woman packed the black one. Bridgit thought about paying for Aislin's dress too, but had a feeling the girl might get after her if she tried so she paid for her three dresses and put the bag in her storage device. Stepping back Bridgit allowed Aislin to pay for her things as well.

Aislin smiled and returned the kiss on the cheek to Bridgit. She immediately noticed the black dress, but didn't say anything. She didn't want to call attention to the dress, even though Bridgit was being incredibly sweet in sneaking it in. Or just trying to torment Alex more. Aislin preferred to believe Bridgit was just being sweet.
Once Bridgit had finished her purchase, Aislin bought her dress, then waited until they were out of the store to mention anything. "You didn't need to buy that, Bridgit." Aislin commented. She still wouldn't make Alex wear it, thought maybe having it would push her towards wearing it later. Aislin kissed Bridgit on the cheek again. "Still, it was awfully sweet, Bridgit. Just don't force Alex into anything again. I'd rather tonight go smoothly than coax her out of the bathroom because she suddenly realizes she's in a dress."
Once they were ready to go, Aislin slipped her fingers in between Bridgit's and let her take the lead.. "Electronics store now? Alex must be bored out of her skull." Aislin confirmed. Bridgit probably knew more, sharing a body with Alex, thus it was more logical for her to take them to an electronic's store.
She supposed they could interchange between clothes stores and electronics stores. Maybe go by a bookstore too. There, then they could cover just about everything. They could get a swim suit for her after the electronics store, maybe go to a bookstore or find another electronics store. There were probably quite a few stores in the area they could shop at.

Bridgit giggled as Aislin seemed to notice she had snuck in the black dress. Waving it off she smiled as Aislin kissed her on the cheek. Slowly she swung her and Aislin's hands back and forth. "Don't worry! I can't make her wear anything she doesn't want to for long. She has like a bagillion clothing sets in the ring thing." Though Bridgit knew one thing that Aislin didn't. When or If Aislin became something special Alex would probably wear the dress eventually.
Skipping forward Bridgit headed for the electronics store that Alex liked to frequent. Humming happily she pulled open the door and allowed Aislin to enter before her. Pulling her hand from Aislin's she gave the ring a twist as Alex came back out. Her now dark green eyes glanced over the inventory then over Aislin. "Go a head and look through the laptops. When you find one you like I will look it over for you. Or you can find one you like and I can build a better one with mods that are tuned to you and your needs." She had remembered from their first meeting that Aislin had said something about getting a laptop.
Stretching Alex grabbed a basket and started with the first shelves looking for any new technology she needed to know about. And what a good way to know about it then buy it and then take it apart again in her room. Glancing over at the cashier she saw him settle in knowing that Alex was about to take her sweet time looking over the electronics and walk out with one of everything that was new.

What did she want in a laptop or computer?
Well, she wasn't much of a gamer, so she didn't need anything terribly powerful. Or did she? No, she probably didn't. She probably wouldn't do much with multimedia, maybe read some, maybe watch videos from time to time, but she didn't need anything terribly powerful.
Aislin slipped her hand, fingers curled in front of her mouth in contemplation. The store definitely had her out of her element. The more compact laptops looked nice, so did the tablets, so did the computers that could be either a tablet or laptop.
Fortunately, the display models seemed to be a help. Aislin had a lot of time to look through the various models as it appeared Alex was taking some time to browse herself.
She eventually narrowed it down to a convertible, as those seemed most practical for her purposes. She could read on it comfortably, it still functioned as a computer, and it didn't seem too expensive for what she got out of it. At least she thought it seemed fairly priced.
Maybe she needed to ask Alex for advice. She walked up behind her and brushed her shoulder gently with her hand. "Would you mind helping me? I really have no idea what I'm looking for to be honest. I get the various specs, I just have no idea what I actually need vs what the computer can do." Aislin stated to Alex. Hopefully she wasn't being a bother and Alex wasn't too into looking at the electronics here.

Alex browsed through some new updates storage devices and looked at them all, scrutinizing every detail before picking the best option and setting it in her basket. Moving on to other little electronics she did the same process over and over until her basket was already half full. Looking up every once and awhile she noted Aislin looking at the laptops. She seemed to be having a hard time choosing. Returning to her selecting she waited for Aislin to call her over. Hearing Aislin Alex looked up from the computer chips she was examining to see what she needed.
Walking over her eyes browsing over the laptops she listened to Aislin's dilemma. "Well. Fast and powerful, or moderate? Durable is probably a must. Do you want it portable or no? And if you select a computer by the end of this and it doesn't have a few things you want on it. I will just program it in for you. Actually...You could just pick one at random even if its cheap and doesn't have much of what you want. Cause once we get back I can customize it to your specifications. That way you have a computer that will do what you need it to."

Well, Alex mostly just asked her questions she already asked herself, but somehow, it still seemed to help.
Okay, powerful couldn't hurt. No such thing as too powerful. If it burned itself out for some reason, Alex could probably repair it. A Good processor could not possibly hurt, especially since most of the non-gaming-centric options had an integrated graphics unit.
Durability. Well, that was a given. She didn't want something that would break 5 seconds after she took it out of the box.
And yes, portable would be nice. Especially with how she might want to use it. Note taking a reading. Ebooks were fairly practical for more normal books, not as much ancient tomes on the void she usually organized for the Melanthios family.
Aislin quickly went back to the laptops after Alex' consult and picked up the most compact ultrabook she could find, tested it for weight, then found the version with the most powerful specs.
She quickly took down the model number for when they were ready to check out so the cashier could get it from the back.
She was quickly back over with Alex, watching her examine various bits of electronics, then dropping what she found the best into her basket.
"Should we just agree to pay for our own purchases for the rest of the day so we don't argue over who pays for whose purchases?" Aislin asked Alex, Bridgit seemed to take that approach. Bridgit had a surprisingly rational mind for someone who seemed so childish and chaotic at times.

Alex watched her as she seemed to think it over. As she picked one Alex nodded at her choice and went off to look at parts and things. Looking through all the parts she added plenty more to her basket and ended up having to get another. Walking through another aisle she looked over at Aislin as she walked over.
"Sounds good. Though I don't speak for Bridgit." Actually she could probably keep Bridgit from paying for Aislin's things if she really wanted too. But she was tired of dealing with Bridgit and the pain killer was starting to wear off. Maybe they needed to go get Aislin a swim suit. Looking at her baskets Alex decided she had enough for the time being. "I think I am done for the time being." Making her way to the cashier she set both baskets on the counter and watched him scan every piece.
It was more out of habit then anything as she watched to make sure the cashier didn't break anything. Looking to Aislin she found her eyes traveling over Aislin. She looked sorta out of place in the computer store. "Would you like to go look for a swim suit after we get out of here?"

"I can talk to Bridgit about it then." Aislin replied to Alex. She hadn't expected the agreement to extend to Bridgit in the first place. She had learned that they were different people, after all. It was a tad jarring, really.
Aislin waited patiently for Alex to complete her purchase before stepping up to the register herself. She repeated the model number to the Cashier, who went and retrieved the computer from the back of the store. Aislin paid for her purchase as Alex asked her a question.
"I think looking for a swimsuit now would be lovely." Aislin replied to Alex.
Thankfully, the computer's box had a handle on it so it wouldn't be cumbersome to carry around while they shopped some more.
Once they were out of the computer shop, Aislin slid her hands into Alex' and gave her a small smile. "You wouldn't mind a designer sort of store, would you?" Aislin asked, before adding on. "Don't worry, I won't force you into girly, uncomfortable clothes."
Aislin happened to know there was a branch of one of the brands she knew well in the city. Of course, the city seemed to have everything so that was hardly a surprise.
"Although, I'm sure a bracelet couldn't hurt. We might be able to find you some jewelry that suits your style. In fact, I'm fairly certain we can." Aislin commented.

Alex nodded as she paid for her things and stepped aside to put her bag of electronics in her storage device. Watching Aislin, Alex's dark green eyes roamed down then back up the vampire girl. Wondering what kind of swimsuit would look good on her. Bridgit was suggesting a Bikini, Alex was thinking a one piece since she had a feeling that Aislin didn't care all too much about showing skin like Bridgit.
Alex looked at the computer box then back at Aislin. "Would you like to put that in a storage device?" Following Aislin out she held the door open and was going to just walk beside her if not slightly behind her. When Aislin's hand slid into her Alex almost shied away before Bridgit reminded her that it would be room and seen as a gesture of ill will. Of Course Alex mentally flipped Bridgit off for actually having good advice today. So instead her cheeks pinkened a little as she hid her eyes behind her bangs and held Aislin's hand.
Letting Aislin lead she shook her head at the girl's question. Alex didn't feel like trying on anymore clothes. So she probably wasn't going to even if it meant forcing herself to sleep letting Bridgit be out for a while. Looking at the black haired girl she blinked. "Why do I need jewelry? It just gets in the way. Plus I have no use for it."

"I think it would be a good idea to put in a storage device, actually. Thank you for asking." Aislin replied to Alex's question before handing the computer off to Alex' free hand to put away.
Aislin smiled a little and the giggled a little. "It's all function, no form with you isn't it?" Aislin asked. "I don't think I should have to tell you that there is such a thing as functional jewelry. You're wearing an example, remember?"
Aislin slowly moved herself a little closer to Alex as they walked together. "But fine, if you don't want to try on anything else, it's okay. I understand. That dress really did look lovely on you though." Aislin stated to Alex.
They finally got to the store Aislin had in mind. She stopped, turned and brushed the bangs away from Alex' eyes. "I'm sorry, I always make you feel flustered. I'm just really happy to have some reciprocated feelings like this." Aislin said before kissing Alex' cheek. "You get to pick where we go next. I won't keep dragging you around to stores that you don't feel comfortable in. I can't promise I won't buy you anything while I'm here. I also don't necessarily expect you to wear it though."
Aislin proceeded into the store with Alex. "So, why don't we start looking for a bathing suit?" Aislin asked. After that, maybe she could look for some things for Alex afterwards, or maybe Bridgit would takeover and things would go in a completely different direction.

Alex nodded and took the computer quickly placing it in the storage device. This way Aislin didn't have to carry it everywhere.
"Yes I like function. Bridgit likes looks. The ring I have is actually of my own creation. I did not buy it anywhere." Her tone almost sounded offended that Aislin might think she had bought the ring from some jeweler with over priced rocks. "We can make prettier things than jewelers and we can make diamonds in pretty colors."
With Bridgit still out she waved her free hand and pulled a bit of wine from a glass as they passed a restaurant. with practiced ease the giggly girl made a set of one inch water drop shaped diamond earrings. Happily Bridgit handed the earrings to Aislin. Alex blinked as she was left in control again. Looking at the earrings Bridgit gave Aislin she reached over and added a spiral between the drops and hooks. "I think the spirals will look prettier on you but Bridgit will have a fit if I get rid of the drops all together."
As Aislin moved closer Alex blinked and blushed a rather pretty red. Hiding under her bangs she tried to keep her embarrassment from Aislin. As they arrived at the store Alex was more than happy to send her off to find a swimsuit except she stopped and pushed Alex's bangs away. Losing her train of thought she pinkened up as Aislin kissed her cheek.
Alex would happily reciprocate more except she was a wanted 'criminal' by a certain government who would also get rid of Aislin if they found out Alex was dating her. It made the Nigaran cautious about whom she was getting involved with. Bridgit soothed her saying that once Briar graduated they could disappear. It couldn't hurt to try dating. With an inward sigh the girl walked over to the a rack of one piece swimsuits looking at the purple and black ones. "so what is your preference toward swimsuits?"

"And if you made something like it, someone else can, correct? You're not the only genius in existence." Aislin replied to coolly to Alex after noting the offense she seemed to take. And in a blink of an eye, Bridgit took over and commented on how she could make better jewelry than a jeweler.
Before Aislin knew it, she was holding a new pair of earrings and Alex had modified them. "Alex! Bridgit! These are gorgeous!" Aislin exclaimed, immediately putting them on. "Thank yo, so much. I'd much rather have these than anything any jeweler in the world could make."
Once they were in the store, Aislin followed Alex over to the rack of swimsuits. "Well, I like these one piece suits." Aislin commented, flipping through them. They looked nice while actually still leaving at least something to the imagination.
Stripes probably didn't suit her, a blanket color didn't do much for her. Aislin tapped her chin thoughtfully, continuing to leaf through the options. She pulled one off the rack, black with wine purple lace trim on the edges. She held it up in front of herself for Alex. "Try it on, do you think?" Aislin asked. It was at least a good first step towards looking for something.

Alex kept her mouth shut. No she wasn't. And she wasn't even a genius. Her little sister was a genius though. Anyways it wasn't like many people had to worry about and alter trying to change their appearance every time they took over.
Alex blushed as Aislin immediately put on the earrings. Inside Bridgit was grinning pridefully. Though there was a thought about making a pair of red ones. Alex cut that thought short since red with Bridgit often meant blood.
Looking through the purple rack her eyes spotted two moderately sexy ones. Pulling them off the rack she looked at Aislin as the girl held up a purple with lace. "That's good. Here try these ones too. Oh these too!!" Bridgit quickly pulled off two other swimming suites that had caught her fancy and held them out to Aislin.
Swimming suite one was a dark purple with ruffled down the neckline which ended about mid stomach.
Swimming suit two was another dark purple which the ruffles were crisscrossed downwards.
Swimming suit three obviously the one Bridgit picked out was almost a dark purple two piece if it wasn't for the four strips which connected the top from the bottom.
Swimming suit four the last one Bridgit had picked was a lighter purple that looked as though someone had sown some fabric on one side and forgot the other side.
