It Seems Crazy...
"So, everything okay in your room, Saishu? Need anything?" Cindy had been checking on everyone's being well-supplied, but she was willing to admit to herself that it was a little bit different with Saishu.

	"I think that would be best if you did stay for quite some time. Like I said; we should stick together if we don't want to be picked off one by one. And clothes shouldn't be a problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, I think you're right. I have already seen what Atrocitus can do, though it was a long time ago. I will need your assistance with clothes, I think. I do not think I fit in very well here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Cindy resolves to make no recommendations about swimwear at this time... chainmail or otherwise. "I'd be happy to help. ...How long ago are we talking here, with Atrocitus?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A number of years, searching for the red light." she replies with a frown. Not her favorite moment. "Yes, I would appreciate your help. You have very nice clothes... well, they look good on you, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Cindy blushed. "Thanks. Trust me; it's not going to be hard to find somethign that's going to look good on you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 05:28 am UTC (link)
	She blinks, noting the blush and the words, and putting them together. It takes a few seconds. "Oh... thank you. You are very beautiful as well." she responds, after a moment more to think. She was going to go with 'cute', but she's pretty sure that might have negative connotations to someone Cindy's size. Beautiful works. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 05:36 am UTC (link)
	Cindy's almost speechless for a moment. She ignores the urge to reach up and pull her down into a kiss Right Now. She knows whose idea that is, deep down. "...thank you," she says softly. "So... so when would you like to see about clothes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 05:42 am UTC (link)
	Saishu waits a few moments, noting the delay and odd expression. "We can do that any time you would like. I only have one change, currently. A couple of combs, my weapons... traveling light. I... do not have much money... and none for this country. Will that be a problem?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 05:45 am UTC (link)
	"Not at all. Shopping trip was My Idea; I'll cover it. I'll do my best not to weigh you down with stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"I do not expect to be traveling a great deal for a while, and can leave things behind. It would not be the first time." Not very materialistic - which probably hurts the most orange bits of the smaller girl's brain, of course. "So we should get what you feel is necessary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 05:49 am UTC (link)
	And Cindy's staring again, and she can't help it, and she's starting not to care. "Okay. So...would you like to go now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 05:54 am UTC (link)
	"Certainly, where are we going?" she asks, setting her blades aside, since she's been pretty firmly instructed that she shouldn't be out and about with most weapons. The particularly observant, or those highly interested in her legs might note she still has a concealed boot knife... but the casual observer wouldn't pick it up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Cindy is quite aware of the boot knife, and thinks it can stay right where it is for now. "We can go to the mall," she says. "There's a shop where we can probably get you some tools, and plenty of clothing stores as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"A... collection of shops?" she guesses, putting the unfamiliar word together from context. "Good, let's go. Are we walking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 06:11 am UTC (link)
	"I was thinking we could take a taxi, but we can walk if you'd be more comfortable with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 06:12 am UTC (link)
	"That is alright. A taxi would be fine. And likely easier for getting around in the city. There is... a lot to get used to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 06:16 am UTC (link)
	"Great." Cindy flips her phone open and calls one. "Yeah, I'd bet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have you lived here all of your life? You seem very familiar with the area." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One of the other of my parents has a penthouse in at least six cities throughout the country, and a few in other countries. So I sort of get to be from everywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 06:29 am UTC (link)
	"What other countries?" she starts with, then her eyes light up a bit. "Do you speak any other languages?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 06:42 am UTC (link)
	"France, Brazil, Italy, and India. I can get by in pretty much all the Romance languages and Japanese. I've been working a little on Arabic and German." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 06:46 am UTC (link)
	"I can help with the Arabic." she responds in French, still accented, but less halting and not as deeply accented as her English. "Do you mind, at least for a little bit? English is so... there aren't words." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-10-24 06:50 am UTC (link)
	"I don't mind at all," she answers, her on accent the 'understandable American businesswoman' type. "And I'd love the help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godownswinging 2011-10-24 06:53 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you." she replies with genuine gratitude. "French is close enough to Latin, I only forget a few words. You're being very helpful on many things... I appreciate your generosity. I know this must be as difficult for you as for any of the others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cindy shakes her head. "The others are in full-out Brave Little Tailor mode -- I mean, they had no idea what they were getting into. I've had a year of heroine-training, and Opie here and I have danced this dance before, kindasorta. So I've got resources, information, and a ridiculous proprietary instinct. I'm in the best position to look out for everybody. You're a real windfall aside from being great company; you're without a doubt the best fighter we've got with us."
