"They'll protect your feet Ari. Cement is a bit rougher than sand and the stone used to make tiles," she explains before walking outside with him. She looks up at the sky while pulling out her cell phone out of her right front jean pocket. "That will happen when you travel around the globe. It's a couple hours until noon. Ashley should be done soon."<br/><br/>Ashley, upon learning that Stella is trying to get her strange guest into attire that blends in with the rest of DC society, swiftly decides that she has time to do her hair and make up. She gives Ari her own appreciative look over. Stella does know how to pick clothes out every once an while. "So do we want to take  the subway to the shopping mall, or do you two feel like walking?"<br/><br/>Stella bites her lower lip and tilts her head towards Ari, who has discomfort written all over his face. She wonders how he would react to the even more crowded and noisy than the plane. Walking or driving Ash's car might be the better option. "How 'bout we take your car?" She knows he won't like that option to much either, but it's the lesser of two evils.
