She honestly couldn’t have figured out what they had been talking about or even bought, but the mystery of it was interesting to think in. Kevin rarely ever bought things for himself, so to hear that he had, and with Toshiro of all people, did make her curious.  “I guess it’s super secret then? Guess I’ll just have to wait until you show me.”  She couldn’t help but notice Kevin’s vague answer, but more so that he had been speaking like that with her a lot more.<br/><br/>Being vague, not giving too much detail, and stuttering in his words at times. Kevin never did that, at least from what she could remember from their time together. Even before their argument, that was now mended, Kevin always held conviction in his words, always knew what he was thinking.<br/><br/>Now, she couldn’t help but be more curious of what was going in his mind at the moment.<br/><br/>As the two made their way out of the bridal shop (much to their thankfulness as the attendants were very curious to know where Leasick had gone), the two friends walked along the stone path that lined the many outdoor shops. Mallory couldn’t help but feel happy but also a hint of...nervousness? Why did she feel that way? Her heart was racing a bit faster, but everything was fine now, right?<br/><br/>A laugh escaped her lips at Kevin’s statement, momentarily taking away the tension she felt within. “Well, clothes are the main thing. You gotta look the part, after all, especially in a Club like this one.”  Her eyes scanned around the many shops that lined the outdoor mall, before one caught her eye; perfect!  “This way!”  With a grin on her lips, and an eagerness she couldn’t quite explain, she pulled Kevin along, their hands connected as she lead him towards the store in question. Other shoppers couldn’t help but glance at the two, the sight of a small girl dragging along a taller man dressed in army fatigues a bit amusing to some.<br/><br/>“As for this being painless, you should know by now to trust me; I am a doctor after all.”  A teasing look appeared on her face, the idea of a Kevin still being afraid of shopping amusing her. As they made their way to the door, she looked back at Kevin, before releasing his hand and giving a teasing wink.  “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to be<em>extra</em>gentle, just for you.”<br/><br/>With that, Mallory made her way inside, making sure Kevin followed; there wasn’t any way he was going to get out of this now, not when he was with her.
