the city called to me and i came [OPEN]

[manyshapes.livejournal.com]

It's Shundi afternoon, and Raven is out in the city. Along with her plans to meet Kate at the coffeeshop called Queequag's (it's always a good idea to scope a place out before you go and apply for a job there) and drop by the University to register for a couple of classes, she figures some window shopping is in order. Until she has a steady income there won't be any shopping bags going home with her, but a girl can look. Maybe try a few things on, check out what's available for decorating her room once Charles has a house picked out, things like that. Fun stuff, and a chance to get away from the Inn for a while.

[OOC: I'm going to set up some threads for encountering Raven at various locations, please wait to tag until I'm finished. Finished and open!]

Aimery looked at the tie thoughtfully as she spoke, thinking it over. If a tie was suitable for a brother then surely a fine one like that was appropriate for whatever sort of friend Lex was.

"Yes, I don't know that this one would do for a professor," he grinned right back. It was a little too flashy for what he imagined a 'professor' to be, but, "It will suit Lex though, and if he doesn't like it then next year he shall receive two ties."

Actually, maybe Aimery would get him a second gift anyway, just in case. He shrugged that thought away and extended his hand to her, still grinning, "Thank you. I'm Aimery."

"If he doesn't like it, next year get him two really bad ties, and make him appreciate your good taste this year a little more," Raven suggests, with a laugh. She has no idea what kind of relationship the man has with his boss, but if it's close enough to buy him a fancy birthday tie, it has to be close enough to share a little joke.

She shakes his hand, smiling back at him. "You're welcome, I'm glad to help! I'm Raven. And I'm afraid I have to admit I'm not as nice as you, I'm only shopping for myself."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Raven," Aimery said firmly with a polite bow of his head. Her name interested him; she didn't look like a raven with her beautiful blonde hair and soft features, but perhaps naming conventions had changed, or maybe it was a byname like le Gode, or a family surname.

"Shopping for yourself is not mutually exclusive to being nice, after all you did help me despite it. Are you looking for something in particular or just browsing?"

Or perhaps the disconnect comes in the fact that these aren't Raven's natural features at all.

"I was looking at the scarves, but it is just browsing for right now. I just got a job today so until I get paid, it's mostly wish list shopping. But you did promise to give me your opinion in exchange for mine, so now you're stuck looking at scarves too."
