North


Constantly she was a creature that was willing to provide a generous service or thoughtfulness to another. There was hardly a selfish bone in her body. Which was quite interesting for a girl coming out of her particular predicament. It might simply be because she knew her place and what she couldn't have she had accepted it not thinking she could ever change it. In her position she did not own anything and she couldn't claim anything for herself. All she had to her name was, well her name, and that was simply it. So, when it came to being around others naturally she didn't expect anything to be given to her. From what she could tell, others were far happier when they received something, rather than give, and she tailored herself into giving things to others assuming it was the appropriate thing to do. One would assume that she was forming into a careless girl wearing her heart on her sleeve, and one would be right, if it wasn't for her inability to trust others so quickly. Instead of turning tail and running away, if she met a person she would be kind, just to test the waters and see their reaction. Should someone be threatening she would leave, but otherwise she would stick around for a little while and wait. Alexis she trusted. Nadya on the other hand, after their first experience, she still couldn't decide if she trusted her or not. Sure, she didn't mean for all her pain to be absorbed by her, and maybe it was kind of her to inform her that a certain Dark Hunter had a photo of her in her wolf form, but did Nadya tell him who she was? Sure, they may have only met underneath the full moon at that time, but still, she didn't know Nadya and she couldn't judge her fairly. So, she would test the waters carefully. If Tobi trusted her enough to be in a pack and if Alexis trusted her to be a friend, then perhaps there was a chance she too could trust the fatal feline.

She would gently push Alexis in the other's direction wishing for the attention to now be upon the Fox. Attention only led to discomfort and pain, so as long as the focus could be on Alexis she would be much at ease. There was a hidden mirth in those dark slate eyes when she noticed the obviously twinkle of joy in Nadya's eyes. With Nadya excited for the free clothes, unaware that the woman would actually enjoy taking Alexis under her wing, she felt rather happy. If it was easy to make the feline happy to provide her with clothes, for free, then she'd continue to do so only if the other continued to not show herself as a threat. As the dark brunette turned to look at her, eyes narrowed when she noticed how the other was giving her a hurt and dismayed look. Wanting to correct this false assumption immediately she would crack a small grin as she looked back towards Nadya, muttering her explanation in a teasing, but reassuring manner.

"Nadya understands this shopping stuff, it is best if you listen to her, so you don't look like a mess, like me."

Not once did she ever look at herself in the mirror and thought she looked like a mess. Looking at her reflection wasn't a past time that she enjoyed. Always she ducked or averted her eyes from any surface that had the ability to reflect, finding it much better to not look at herself. Besides, clothes were just a necessity they weren't anything important to her to invest in or take the time to getting right. It was best if Alexis didn't follow her footsteps and managed to get herself properly inducted into society. As soon as Nadya hooked her arm through the arm of the other, she would watch quietly a little bit disgruntled that she couldn't manage to get herself to follow along with their eagerness. But shopping just wasn't something she could ever understand nor wish to fully partake. Clothes were clothes. While Nadya began to teach the ever so willing grasshopper, seeing how the clothes Alexis picked out weren't important anymore she would try to place them correctly on the rack hoping to put them in the right spot or section, before giving up and just placing them all together. Turning her head around she would shake her head in disbelief to the amount of clothes Alexis was carrying towards the fitting room. Did a girl really need all those clothes? Returning her focus back to the store window looking for any signs that the Dark Hunter would come back around, she would instantly flinch as soon as Nadya approached her with some sort of long garment. Wrinkling up her nose, a faint scowl appeared on her mutilated face as her eyes overlooked the brown and white garment, not too delighted to see such a thing and if her face couldn't show her disagreement, perhaps her soft deadpan voice would.

"It's a dress."

Skirt, dress, it was all the same to her. If she had a vice, it would be her stubbornness. Indeed if Nadya expected the girl was willing to try such a thing, let alone follow along with this shopping lesson, she was dead wrong. She was satisfied that she could walk among society with jeans and old faded t-shirts finding hoodies to be extremely comfy. Sure, she stuck out like a sore thumb to others, but at least she was comfortable. Remembering her manners she would avert her eyes muttering softly before turning in the direction of the fitting rooms seeing Alexis come out in some new garments, knowing full well that both their attention should be on Alexis right now.

"Thank you, but I like my clothes. We should get back to Alexis, let her have some fun."
