For the zillionth time, the redhead's gaze trailed towards Victor and Ada while Paddy went on about some story behind a quite beautiful piece of art that, to be honest, Elisa had not taken her time to appreciate. It bothered her that Ada kept on trying to touch him, and though she isn't particularly the jealous type, it simply didn't feel right. She was trying to keep Paddy and Ada away, and that was supposed to be good, something a good friend would do, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was making a mistake. Irritated, that was more like it, she was very much annoyed.

"Don't you think so, Elisa?" Her name being called out claimed her attention, and she turned her head back to meet Paddy's inquisitive stare.

"I'm sorry, what?" She asked.

Paddy glanced past her and at the black haired man. He couldn't stop himself from pulling a face when doing so. Where did that guy even come from? He didn't like him.

"I suppose it is safe to presume that he is your boyfriend?" He asked, trying so hard to sound indifferent but miserably failing. He hoped with all his might she'd say no.

Elisa saw that very expectation on his eyes and she lowered hers for a moment. Ah, she felt guilty again. Honestly, though, she didn't actually owe him any explanation. As far as she knew, they hadn't been dating before she had met Victor, and she had simply fallen in love once she had done so. She couldn't blame herself for that. Understanding that didn't ease her guilt, but it allowed her to look him in the eyes and reply.

"He is" She nodded.

"Ah" Paddy exhaled, and to that single exclamation a long silence followed "You should go to him then, it doesn't seem very fair to me that I get to have you to myself. Besides, he doesn't seem to be handling Ada very well" He chuckled, but it was strained and non-convincing. He was a nice guy, and Elisa knew that, she had liked that trait about him after all. Maybe, if she hadn't taken that book from the library ... But she had, and she didn't regret it one bit "Come on then, I think I'm grown enough to deal with my ex on my own" He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her along.

"Well, there are a lot of other things you can also appreciate" Ada purred. She didn't give up easily, and she'd have ... "Oh!" Paddy curled his fingers around her wrist.

"Alright, that's enough, leave the poor man alone" He took her away from Victor and Elisa, with Ada whining feather noisily.

Elisa followed them briefly with her sight, still mildly concerned, before she diverted her gaze to look at Victor. She flashed him an apologetic smile and grabbed his hands with hers.

"Gosh, I'm really sorry. She's just too ... " She shook her hair "Sorry, I know it's not a valid argument but I had to keep them apart"

Adam found it strange to have been offered help to put on the clothes that had been chosen for him, though he did understand her reasons. Those weren't attires he had wore before, but he was much too proud to ask for any help, if only because he'd feel rather silly in doing so.

"I will keep that in mind, thank you" He stated, and pecked Rebecca's cheek before flashing her a smile and disappearing behind the curtain he had been led to.

judging by what he had remembered to see on the humanoid plastic things displayed outside, he buttoned a white shirt first before he slid on a dark blueish vest as well as a jacket and trousers that matched it in colour. He had been right, those were less tighter than the jeans from before. Would Rebeca consider it nice? He really wanted to loo good for his lady after all. After taking one last look of himself in the mirror, Adam stepped out.

"I think I'm done?" He sure hoped he wouldn't embarras himself for wearing the attire wrong.

"She's something." Victor mumbled. "I'm just not sure what, but it's certainly not good."

He rubbed his thumbs along her hands with a sad smile. She hadn't exactly abandoned him, but he felt lost. She'd been nothing but kind, and he was hurt. It wasn't her fault, that's just how he felt. Victor pulled her closer, hoping no one was paying them much attention. If he had any luck, Ada would have been far from either of them, as well as Patrick. Miles was nice enough, and he hadn't exactly met Chris. He was just, well, jealous. Jealous was a good word.

"I understand." He meant it, Victor did. However, some part of him was still feeling neglected. He pushed the thoughts aside and smiled more genuinely this time. Victor leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead. Her new bright red hair smelled strange, but he didn't dislike it. This only prompted another quick peck. "Would you show me your strange art now?"

Rebecca was speechless.

She took a step forward, momentarily forgetting to snap her jaw shut from its slack position. Her eyes couldn't stop examining him, from head to toe, he'd managed to get every piece right on his own. The only thing he'd forgotten was a lone button on the bottom of his vest, and the pockets of his trousers were still sticking slightly out from their openings. Rebecca took the liberty of fixing it for him, starting with the button, and working her hands into his pockets to get them in place.

"Adam." Rebecca hooked her fingers in his pockets, pulling him closer. "You look-"

Handsome? Stunning?

The girl bit her lip, trying to hide the fact that she was aroused by the image of Adam in a suit. The man who'd walked in was certainly not the one who stepped out of the curtain, and she much preferred the formal look on him.

"Girls all over the world are going to want you." She smiled. "You look absolutely amazing."

A slut, that'd be a fitting word.

Elisa chose not to say the word out loud, though every person that knew her would agree with her, and those who didn't, well, they quickly became aware of her true nature, just like Victor had. Now she felt bad for leaving Victor all alone to deal with her. Sure, she was moved by sincere friendship, but the knight had to be more of her concern than Paddy, she couldn't simply dump someone like Ada on him and hope he'd now how to deal with her.

Noticing the sad smile, the redhead allowed for him to pull her closer gladly, and even leaned her head against his chest. She may have felt something towards Paddy before, but compared to her feelings for Victor, the former was a child's play. A small smile crept over her lips, happy to be by him again, and when he pressed a kiss to her forehead, it only widened, her eyes closing lightly.

"You know what? Let's just leave" Miles was happy with Chris, and Paddy said he could deal with Ada. There was no reason for them to be there, and, honestly it would do her good to stop by her house for money, given the fact that she had forgotten her wallet back on her room. "What do you say? Want to sneak out with me, Victor Portswell?" She asked, grinning.

For as long as the silence stretched, Adam grew a bit anxious. Rebecca seemed surprising, her mouth gapping in surprise, and for a moment he even feared he had actually wore the clothes terribly wrong. He looked down at himself, then back at Rebecca, then back at him again and it wasn't until she stepped over to fix some minor details and spoke that he noticed the look on her eyes, and he simply knew he could feel calm.

The young knight threw a glance around, and even if some curious glances were thrown on their direction, he didn't exactly mind it and wrapped his arms around her.

"And yet, I only want one to do so" He declared as he leaned in to nuzzle her face. "So, you like it?" He asked, smiling.

"Can we?" Victor's eyes widened in excitement. "No one will be mad?"

Patrick might be, Ada would be a little irritated her new boy toy left her. Although, Victor was fine with completely forgetting about her for the rest of his existence. All she did was try to grope at his chest and arms, he feared she'd try to go in to steal a kiss had no one else been around. He thought himself lucky to have the presence of so many other people.

The pang of jealousy still stung a little.

"So long as you don't let me go." Victor frowned. "I had no idea how to act around her, she was just...everywhere. I only have eyes for you, with her...there's far too much skin." He raised his hands to meet her face. After a glance around the room, making absolutely certain no one was watching, Victor pulled her face to his, and he kissed her briefly on the lips. "Let's get out of here, Miss Wallace."

"Adam, this is my favorite look on anyone." Rebecca admitted shyly. She tucked her hair behind her ears, taking a small step back after he nuzzled her face. There were still people nearby and she wasn't about to get caught showing too much public affection. That wasn't something she felt comfortable with, not entirely. It made her blush like mad.

"The vest, the coat, this is-" Rebecca pressed her hands against his chest, flattening the vest, and then she brushed her hands along his shoulders to get a few specks of dust off. "Adam, you're so handsome."

It would be easy to find more clothes like this, if he liked them. Now that they knew what size he was it was even easier to get something else. If he saw it, he wouldn't have to go through the ordeal of trying on every little thing. They could pick and grab at their own pace, Rebecca trying to keep a hold on herself before Adam's attractiveness was too much for her to handle. It was entirely possible she wouldn't be able to keep her hands off of him, but she had some restraints.

"Come on, we can buy this, and go to more stores. We haven't even been to the food court." Rebecca pecked him on the cheek. "Get changed."

That she couldn't tell. Ada would be disappointed, but Elisa guessed she was already angry with Paddy, poor him. The latter, well, perhaps he'd think it a good idea as much as the redhead. Miles, boy, she wasn't sure. He was too occupied with Chris, and most likely, he wouldn't even notice their absence after quite a while had gone by.

"It doesn't matter" She smiled "We can do whatever the hell we want" She declared.

"So long as you don't let me go."

His remark made her blink, and she looked up at him, brows raising ever so slightly as he carried on with his explanation. She had taken for granted that he wouldn't mind it, but it turned out that it had been her mistake. Of course he'd feel uncomfortable with a girl such as Ada. Elisa was so stupid.

"Oh, Victor, I'm so-"

His lips silenced her, the apology stuck on her throat. He pulled away, and she didn't get the chance to kiss him back or to even close her eyes. He simply ... caught her by surprise. A very much pleasant surprise if she was to add. A rosy colour darkened her face and a silly smile was drawn on her face as she grabbed his hand and granted his wish.

"I need to drop by my home" She declared as she hopped into her car "After that, we can go out and get you some clothes of your own"

Adam chuckled under his breath when she stepped back, though he refused to unwrap his arms from around her. Back at home, that could've been considered a reprochable attitude by most, but the knight, even back on Jorgen, had never minded it so much. If people disliked public displays of affections, they were more than invited to simply look away. Though, if it bothered his lady, he would try to restrain himself, though he wanted to tease her about it so much at the same time he couldn't help himself from touching her.

"And you are simply breathtaking" The brown haired man said in return nonchalantly and with a big grin on his lips.

Once he was told to get changed, he smiled at her and leaned in to quickly peck her lips before he stepped back and behind the curtain again.

"Those clothes are quite comfortable, I wonder why do most men do not wear them" He commented, quite seriously, as he stepped out again.

"Right, we were supposed to go shopping." Victor had honestly forgotten. He was so preoccupied with waiting for the, what was it, stylist to change Elisa's hair and the events with Paddy and Ada, then the odd couple of Miles and Chris. He was still getting used to public displays of affection between the same gender. It wasn't common in his time, but it wasn't talked about either, so he honestly had no opinion about what he'd seen.

He watched the roads go by, struck by how every other car could stay in synchronization with the rest of the world. They were using signals, he determined, to let each other know where to go. He'd seen it a few times, the blinking of lights from either the left or right, occasionally they'd flash bright red and everyone would stop. How it worked was beyond him, and he was dying to understand.

"But you don't have to, I'm fine with just this." Victor motioned to his borrowed clothes. They were tight fitting, sure, but he didn't need Elisa to buy him anything else.

Rebecca couldn't handle his compliment and pushed him along back inside the curtains, blush covering her entire body if at all possible. He always made her do that. If she wasn't red, something wasn't normal. "Get in there, you!" That was the best she could come up with, a few girls giggled her way, pointing towards the closed curtain.

"Those clothes are quite comfortable, I wonder why do most men do not wear them." Adam said from behind the curtain.

The truth was something he might try to fight. It was because suits, vests, and trousers, basically anything and everything which resembled formalwear was very expensive. Rebecca took a look at the price tag of a shirt on a rack nearby, she grimaced and put it back down. There was a sale going on at least, and she saw a sign which would save her an extra percent if she signed up for a loyalty program. She crunched a few numbers in her head and came out with a reasonable total, but she wasn't about to tell Adam. He was already so worried about money as it was.

"It's formal, so people mainly wear them for special occasions, but there are those who wear them everyday." Rebecca replied, it was still truth. "And I have to say, they always look so good."

"But you can't wear those everyday, and I think it's better for us to find you clothes that fit you better than my dad's" Elisa commented while she parked in her driveway.

She could always keep on lending him clothes from her dad's closet, but those were tight fitting and not his. If he was to stay in her world for long, the first thing he needed to own were his own clothes. Surely, it wouldn't be difficult to find something for Victor. She doubted he wouldn't look good in practically anything.

"I'm gonna go and grab my wallet" The redhead declared as she hopped down the Captiva and went around the SUV before coming to a stop by the passenger's seat "Do you want to wait for me here or come inside?"

"Special occasions, huh?" Adam exclaimed as he stepped out of the curtains with the clothes he had just tried tucked on is arm.

He glanced around the shop, and finally realised that it wasn't as full as some others he had seen outside. He could suppose that those who wore it everyday couldn't be that much. Special occasions ... rare ... expensive. It was only logical, right? Attires used for events were expensive than others back on his world. He pulled a face.

"Then I guess I would stand out, right?" He said. He wasn't about to talk about the money issue with Rebecca "I wouldn't really like that" Which was true "Maybe, we could find other clothes"

"I'll come in, just for a second right?" Victor hopped out of the car and followed Elisa inside. He was growing more familiar to her home, rather liking her world's taste in style. Even if some of the items were odd and rather futuristic, he still found himself attracted to the looks around him.

He took a step into the living room, looking at something he'd been told was a TV. It was supposed to be used for entertainment, but he had no idea how to use it. As it were, the item was plain and black, yet slightly reflective. When he got close enough he could see his reflection in the screen.

"Where do we buy clothes, anyways?" He asked, unsure how far she'd gone in the house.

Rebecca frowned. He'd looked so good in the suit, it almost broke her heart that he didn't want to keep them. "If you wear that, I'll wear something formal, too." She made her offer, and took the clothes from his arms.

If he wore a suit, she'd wear the nicest thing she had in her closet, curl her hair and paint her nails. At least that way they'd both stand out, if only to get him back into that coat and vest. She loved the way it looked on him, the formality of his appearance with his military composure made him appear the perfect gentleman. Only thing was, she didn't want to beg him to wear it if he wouldn't.

"But, if you don't want it, we can keep looking."

"Where do we buy clothes, anyways?"

Elisa, with her wallet on her hand, was going down the stairs when she heard Victor's question. The mall. The nearest to her house was somewhat small, but it would do. She was about to head into the living room when she heard the front door opening. The redhead stopped on her tracks on the hallway just in time to see a ginger haired man and a young platinum blonde haired woman walk inside the house.

"Mom, dad" She exclaimed, surprised "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I must say that I am a wee bit disappointed" Tessa Wallace's face slipped into a frown "I missed you too, Eli"

"... In that case, I suppose I can't refuse to take those clothes with me" Adam stated, though somewhat reluctantly.

Maybe they were not that expensive. At least, he wanted to believe so. However, he'd just take the clothes he tried and nothing more, just in case. Call him stingy, but truth was, that as long as he didn't pay for his own clothes, he didn't want Rebecca to spend much on him until he got a job for himself.

"I do want to see you in a special attire" He stated, his thoughts taking a much pleasant course.

Victor froze. The last thing he expected was to be surprised by Elisa's parents. He stood straight up, whirling around from his place at the TV in order to greet them properly. The last thing he wanted was to look like a fool, first impressions were the most lasting ones.

No one looked his way at first, and so he stayed quiet, his hands locked behind his back to hide the nervous twitch at the ends of his fingers. The red headed man looked stern, but clean. Victor felt confident in assuming he was a doctor, but the memory of Elisa telling him so also strengthened the assumption. However, as for her mother, he couldn't remember in the slightest. A stylish of some kind? She seemed awfully fashionable.

So he stood in awkward silence, waiting for someone to acknowledge the black haired man in the room. The black haired man...who was wearing Elisa's father's clothes.

Rebecca happily paid for the clothes, but first she shooed Adam outside so he wouldn't catch the total. He had no concept of what her money was worth, but keeping it a secret was easier than him trying to guess the value of the outfit. She thanked the teller and skipped outside with a bag in hand.

"I do have this little red dress..." Rebecca laced her hand in Adam's. "So, maybe we can go on a date, you can wear your clothes, I'll wear mine..." Her face went red, she hadn't thought about how the words sounded coming out of her mouth. "I m-mean, of course we'll wear clothes! Oh God, I'm sorry"

She lowered her head and laughed. Rebecca was good at embarrassing herself now.
