[She will absolutely refuse the frills! Probably. In any case, they need to get the "tour" out of the way first.
Rita nods distractedly--that's two things she doesn't really need to mention, then--and continues.] Almost, but not exactly. It's part of the centre square, but there's this weird carousel thing directly in the middle. You might've seen it from the fountain.
Oh, and there's apartment buildings all around the edge of the city. Between those and the centre, there's shops, libraries, a hospital, things like that. [Since Rita is the worst tour guide ever, she'll at least give Estelle a map for her device so the other girl can self-study.]
[Estelle nods once at the mentioning of the carousel. She had remembered seeing up upon her arrival and was one of the things she remembered clearly if only because it was something that had caught her eye.] Yes, I do remember seeing that.
[Oh, and there’s a library? Well, if Estelle’s not in the house, then that’s the next place she will be! At least it seems to be within the city limits, according to the map she just received, so it will probably distract her twice over before she manages to get too far and attempt to explore on her own.] So, all the important buildings are between these apartments and the center of the city. [Well, at least this odd place was built in such a fashion that seemed logical to keep their residences somewhat comfortable aside from these curses.]
Yeah, most of them. There's stuff under the city, too--in the Underground. [Where her tone was casual before, she gets a bit more serious. The Underground might have some interesting things, but she doesn't think it's the best place for Estelle. Not by herself, at least.] It's a pretty seedy place though, and there's monsters further down.
[She was interested in this Underground, but she caught on to the change of tone in Rita’s voice. Given that, it was probably best that she not wander there, at least not by herself. Yes, she was curious about it, but it was best not to worry her companions that were here.] So you are telling me to not go down there on my own, am I correct? [She offered Rita a smile and giggled a little too, in appreciation for her friend’s concern.]
[And Rita might misinterpret that a bit, her worry for Estelle making her want to be absolutely certain that Estelle's aware of what she could be getting into.] I'm serious, okay? Don't wander off to any weirdo places! [She's not harsh at all--just clearly concerned.]
[She nodded once at Rita’s concern, though there was still a hint of a playful smile on her face. Not that she wasn’t listening, just that she understood.] I promise, Rita. I won’t wander off to those places. [All that she needed to know right now was where the library was, and that would keep her attention for the time being. Any place where books are, she is bound to be as well.]
[And Rita relents, trusting for now that Estelle has the message, at least. The library's more her friend's style, anyway.]
Good. I think that's about all the important stuff--oh, wait. [Just in case...] There's also the Hall of the Missing. That place has a bunch of pictures up of anyone who's left the City.
[The Hall of the Missing…she can’t help but wonder…] Was my picture there before I returned just recently? [Because from her welcome to the City, people knew that she had left.
However, if that tour was everything then, she was ready to start shopping for underwear!]
Yeah...You've been here a couple times, so it was. [Even if Rita never stopped by to see; once for confirmation that Estelle had left was enough. It might be something her friend's more interested in, though.] There's still pictures of Judith and the old man there.
[And unless Estelle has more questions, Rita's a little lacking in enthusiasm, but just as ready.]
[She nods, her expression deflating just a little bit.] I’m sorry you had to experience seeing my picture there. [And she had heard that Judith and Raven were here at one point, so she didn’t question that or give Rita a curious look and instead just gave another nod at that.
But soon her usual smile returned to her face as she gently grabbed one of the mage’s hands in excitement.] Shall we be going to shop for underwear now?
[She blinks in return, looking up with mild surprise.] Huh? It's not...You don't have to apologize for something like that.
[A blush then creeps over her face, though she makes no complaints about Estelle taking her hand.] Okay, okay, let's go. [Before she announces it in public again-!]
Oh, I don’t? [It was still something she felt she should be sorry for, but if Rita said she didn’t, then she won’t be. Instead, she will try not to leave again, though it sounds like something like disappearing from the City was against anyone’s wills.
With a smile and a giggle, she squeezes Rita’s hand once.] Where to?
You seriously don't, okay? [Rita would only blame the City.
It's been a while since they were able to go somewhere like this, and she can't help but smile in return as she moves forward to lead them to a nearby store.] I think the one we want should be right over here...
[That place with the various mannequins in lingerie in the windows--some of it frilly or lacy, which Rita's not gonna touch.]
[And as soon as she sees the store with the mannequins wearing lovely little pieces of lingerie, she immediately starts pulling Rita in that direction. They’re going in and they’re going to find the young mage lovely underwear! And of course her attention goes to the lacy underwear as that’s Estelle’s preference. To her, it’s a sin to wear underwear less lovely than her clothing.]
/is going to have to add more Ristelle icons later, too
[She makes a little hum of surprise, but follows easily. Though as much as she'd like to ignore the lacy ones, Estelle's doing just the opposite...] Y-you're not...actually into those ones, are you?
[Picking up a pair of lacy white panties with a floral pattern on it, she examines it then looks at Rita with a somewhat curious expression on her face.] This kind of underwear is my preference if that is what you’re asking. [Sorry Rita, royals wear fancy underwear. But this isn’t about her, so she sets them down and looks around the store.] What kind of underwear do you prefer, Rita?
[...Maybe she should've expected that, but...there's no hiding the distaste on her face. She practically feels itchy just looking at them.] Not that kind.
[Glancing around, she finds something more to her liking: plain cotton. Especially the black.] I'm just gonna get some of those ones... [And totally not glance at some that have cute designs like cats. Not at all. (Okay, a little.)]
[Black was never Estelle’s preference in underwear, but she understands how it would be Rita’s. Though she does catch her glancing really quickly at the ones with the kitty prints on them and walks over there to pick up a pair of those!] Rita! These ones are really cute, too! [Look at all the cute kitty silhouette designs it has as she holds them up in front of the other girl!]
Huh? Uh...y-yeah...They're not bad. [It's like Estelle knew exactly where she was definitely not looking. And that she knew Rita would find it definitely not cute-! (It's so cute. Meow.) Blushing, she takes the pair from Estelle, glances it over, and bunches it up in her hands to hang onto.] I guess I'll get this one...
[Hearing Rita saying that she would get the pair that Estelle picked out and thought were cute only made a sense of accomplishment well up inside of her.] I’m glad! I’m sure they will be so cute on you! [Okay, so Rita won’t be showing them off to anyone, but still! Wearing cute underwear makes a girl feel cute. And Estelle has now run off to the lacy underwear section once more, picking up some rose colored ones as well as some of her classic white ones. Looking around, she also saw some bras and couldn’t help but go and pick up a bra that had the same kitty cat design that were on the underwear Rita chose to get.] Look at this bra! It matches that pair of underwear you picked out! [She's having way too much fun with this.]
[She immediately sputters and starts to protest that how they look on her doesn't matter, but her friend's already moving on. Well, Rita's still getting them, and a matching bra-
Wait.] Estelle, I...I don't wear those, you know. [She has nothing to hold up...Not that she wants anything to get in the way and make her back sore. Not at all.]
[Estelle looks back at the bra she found and back at Rita. It would fit her given it almost looks like a child’s training bra, but no less, it’s still cute!] I still think you should get it. When you wear cute underwear like this underneath your clothing, you end up feeling great all day!
[And then, suddenly an idea comes to her mind. Going back to the underwear section, she grabs a pair of kitty cat underwear herself and a matching bra her size and with a giant smile returns to Rita.] We could match! [She gets the feeling Rita wouldn’t want to wear the lacy underwear the Estelle prefers, but she would have no problem wearing cute kitty cat cotton underwear just for her friend…for the simple reason of matching.]
[Rita has the most skeptic look on her face as she stares between Estelle and the bra. Underwear making her feel good?] How? I don't think-
[Oh, but there she goes again, and...Matching, huh...
Not that she cares about matching underwear with Estelle or anything--that's just stupid, but--face heated, she takes the bra from Estelle, too. It'd be cute...] Uh, I guess I'll...I mean, if you really want to...
It'd be cute on you. [There, she said it. Lace and frills are what she'd easily picture for Estelle, but the cat print is just...kind of simply cute, too.]
[She nods enthusiastically all while giggling at Rita’s response.] Yes, I would really like to do it! [Of course only if Rita wants to do it too, but, but she really does! It would be so cute and just something between the two of them. No one else needs to know! And hearing it would be cute on her only seals the do.] Shall we get these then? [As Estelle holds out her lacy undergarments she chose and the cat print bra and underwear out to Rita.]
[And for all of Rita's blushing and general tsun, she wants it too. Estelle's enthusiasm just pushes her into agreeing without complaint.]
Uh, yeah...And- [She takes the garments from Estelle and picks herself up some plain ones, and...possibly swipes another pawprint-patterned one, even if Tyr did return her other pair. Then she's glancing back to her friend, wondering-] Is this all you want? There's more stuff that's more...you know, for you. [Things like negligees, corsets, camisoles...Or what Rita only knows as underwear she'd never wear.]
