Though he very much gave off the air of someone who was laid-back and playful, Leasick did have keen senses and was certainly no fool. But rather than call her out then and there, he decided to simply go along with it for now.<br/><br/>Looking back at Ryusei and Kyless as he was being dragged off, he shrugged lightly and bid his farewell with a simple,<strong>"Ciao!"</strong><br/><br/>Falling into step with her as they drew closer to the store, he got a good look at the outlet, which kind of stuck out like a sore thumb when compared to all the other shops surrounding it. The other storefronts were mostly glass, with display cases on the other side, and automated sliding doors to match. Meanwhile, the outlet for the bridal store chain looked more akin to the front or side of a traditional European countryside home. Made up mostly of wood that was painted a nice shade of white, there were some paneled windows dotted along its length, and an ornamented wooden door that marked the entrance. Standing in front of the open door stood a sign welcoming blushing brides, honerable grooms, and wedding guests alike to come inside and browse their wares. Hell, there was even a red carpet rolled out that reached over half a dozen feet outside the store.<br/><br/><strong>”Fancy,”</strong>he commented after whistling softly. But rather than stand around and gawk further, he grinned at Mallory and pulled her along by the wrist.<strong>”Let’s check this place out!”</strong><br/><br/>The inside of the outlet had a similar feel about it as the outside, with interior resembling an English countryside manor, right down to the porcelin tea cups he spotted on a coffee table in the waiting area. Barely a foot inside the store, a courteous store employee dressed in a frilly white shirt and dark plaid skirt greeted them.<br/><br/><strong>”Welcome to madam Yumi Katsura’s bridal store,”</strong>she said. Leasick noted the absence of the word “outlet,” though he figured it was to maintain that air of grace and sophistication, as well as some consideration towards the customers walking through the door.<strong>”Is this your first visit?”</strong><br/><br/><strong>”Ah, yes… Yes, it is.”</strong>Having never been inside one of these stores before, he found himself off balance for just a moment. Smiling brightly, however, he attempted to cover it.<br/><br/><strong>”Wonderful! So, when is the big day?”</strong>the store employee gushed a bit as she looked at the pair.<br/><br/>Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Leasick lept at the opportunity for some fun, taking charge of the conversation before Mallory even knew what hit her.<strong>”Oh, it’s still a ways off!”</strong>he responded with a soft laugh, waving the matter off. Gesturing to his “blushing bride to be” for the day by placing a hand on her slender shoulder, he continued,<strong>”But my beautiful fiance here is absolutely in love with the idea of wearing a gorgeous wedding dress. I imagine all girls and women are, right? So, we decided to make that our top priority!”</strong><br/><br/><strong>”How lovely! Shall we get started, then?”</strong><br/><br/>They were led over to a more private area (http://www.curtain-tracks.com/media//wysiwyg/wordpress/n/y/NY-Bride-1.jpg) with two changing booths over to the side, with a couch and a pair of chairs standing opposite of three large mirrors that hung from the wall. In the corner, nestled between the nearest changing booth and mirror, stood a wooden stand for what appeared to be various kinds of veils.<br/><br/>When questioned about what sort of dress they were looking for, Leasick made sure to jump on that ball swiftly, as well. Standing beside the store employee, he gave Mallory a thoughtful once over.<strong>”Hm~ I think something that would flatter her slender figure would be great!”</strong>Nodding in agreement, she scurried off into the back area to find a suitable dress for the “bride.”<br/><br/>Saying nothing more, he simply grinned mischievously at his physician.<br/>
