"Because...just because," Aquaria retorted. "Don't you have a mirror around here?" she asked.

"What is it? Is Garin trying to be a gentleman?" cassandra asked. " Try biting his neck. he loves that." Then she directed Aquaria to a mirror.

Aquaria made no reply. She looked at herself in the mirror, expecting to hate the reflection. Instead she was amazed that anything could look this good on her. The neckline wasn't too low but showed off the pendant. The deep red color highlighted her pale skin. It also highlighted the few scars she had, but that wouldn't be a problem.

"And this might loosen him up a bit," Cassandra said with an approving nod.

Aquaria allowed herself a small smile. "Should we show him, then?" she asked Cassandra. The vampire knew a lot about Garin, evidently. Not that this surprised Aquaria in the slightest.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Sure," Cassandra said with a nod. "he's probably waiting right outside the door."

Aquaria ran over to the door eagerly, tripping a little on the long hem. "Garin? What do you think?" she asked, opening the door.  

[Cecily D Aria]

Garin looked over to her and looked stunned. "Wow, you look amazing..." he said with a smile.  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria blushed a little. "Yeah, it fits," she said, as if this was the only thing that amazed her about the dress.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"Silly," Garin said moving to hug her. "You make the dress, not the other way around."  

[marixe alcyone]

Aquaria blushed a little at Garin's comment. "Do you want to see any others?" she asked.  

[Cecily D Aria]

"I think this is fine," Garin replied with a smile. "But if you want to try on something else, that's fine too."

"Cassandra, do you have anything that isn't floor length?" Aquaria asked. "I'm not too coordinated."  

[Cecily D Aria]

"But of course," Cassandra said, pulling her back into the room and closing the door.  

[marixe alcyone]

"Not too short," Aquaria amended as she saw Cassandra rifling through rows of miniskirts.
