You Can Never Have Too Many Shoes [Blake]

[Lordan J. Moa]

The fall season was just around the corner and there was no way that Lordan would allow her closet to go untouched for the upcoming season. Usually before every season, she went through her clothes and gave the clothing that she was certain that she would not wear again, to charity or the local goodwill. Then used that as an excuse to go shopping for newer stuff. Though, she would miss the summer season, it was one of her favorites, a season that was open to so many possibilities and endless encounters. As for fall, well, fall was one of those seasons that made wearing clothing and fashion so enjoyable. Seeing how layering clothing to create new looks over and over again was her favorite thing.

Now, don't call her a telepath but she was sure her other half didn't think the same way when it came to shopping. It was almost a shame that Lordan pretty much dragged Blake with her on this trip but she couldn't help it. She hadn't even asked both Tamara and Reid but with her best friend being her dormmate, there was really no point in bothering their other friends. And besides, she enjoyed her time with Blake and especially now with their schedules getting busier during the start of the school year.

Though, a ladies day filled with shopping and coffee did sound promising.

Lordan got out of her all white sports car and shut the door. With her purse and keys in hand as she waited for Blake. "Do you think Tamara and Reid would have wanted to come along? I'm sure we'd run into tons of fall savings." The telepath smiled softly as she sighed, "Doesn't the sound of that make you joyous? Fall savings."

Blake had planned to sleep the day away since she didn't have any training to do and she didn't have to go out to find some new mutants. She had been so busy of late that a day off sounded like the perfect day to just sleep and do nothing. She had not even bothered to get dressed or get out of her bed and planned to just stay there. She would regret it later when she was really hungry to her need for candy got really bad, but for now she just wanted to sleep. Be a lazy cat all day and just be nice and warm wrapped up on her blankets. That was the plan anyways, but clearly Blake forgot that with the changing season meant that her best friend was likely going to want to go shopping. No, want was a bad word, there was going to be a need for Lordan to want to go shopping with the change of weather.

Since Blake and here had been best friends for like ever and Blake lived with her, it made sense that Lordan came to her first. Lordan practically dragged Blake out of bed and already was telling her of what was planned. Blake managed to at least wake up enough to get dressed in something casual, grabbing some candy and stuffing it in a jacket that she slipped on before going with Lordan on their little trip. Making herself wake up some more on the drive by eating some more candy and moving around in the seat. Even if the dealt just made her want to fall asleep and feel the speed of the car even if they could not really push it to its limits. Blake had always wanted a sports car but she was no rich kid and was from the backwoods so when she did get a car it was a truck. She loved her truck, but ridding in Lordan's car was fun.

"They might have. We can always call them up later or make sure to pick them up something." Blake said as she let out a small yawn and rubbed at her eyes. Getting out of the car and doing a big stretch to fully wake herself up. Following after Lordan as she loosed her body up and started to dig into her pockets for a lollypop. She was not a huge shopper and while she did like the idea of getting new clothing she was for sure not like Lordan in the clothing department. That just meant that she would likely end up getting something from Lordan and for sure had to expect Lordan make her try on different things. "I do like my chances to save money." Blake said with a chuckle as she moved to hook her arm with Lordan's as she popped the lollypop in her mouth.

It was amazing what the power of friendship could accomplish because Lordan was sure that if she hadn't practically dragged and begged Blake to go shopping with her, then the woman would have still been asleep by now. It was such a good day and there were so many sales going on at the mall with new inventory, there was no way she would let her best friend pass this up; even if Blake hadn't planned on buying anything. She was certain that Blake would have more than enough sweets on her person to get through this shopping trip today.

"I could possibly pick out something for them. I think we've been around them enough to gather their taste." Picking something out for Reid was a bit easier than it would have been to pick out something for Tamara but as long as it was sexy, Lordan figured that Tamara would like it. As for Blake, her best friend had another thing coming if she thought that Lordan would allow her to leave the store without a few outfits picked out. Was it wrong that she loved using her friend as a barbie doll? Dressing her up was probably her favorite thing to do, while keeping Blake's personal taste at her best interests.

"Well, I'm glad." Lordan hooked her own within Blake's arm as they headed towards the entrance. "Can you believe it's October already? I swear it was just yesterday when the last school year ended, and just last month we've started all over again." Not that she was complaining, she enjoyed having the students around and even those who stayed for the summer but it felt like the school was getting more and more kids as the days rolled on. Once they ended up inside the mall, she glanced around to see if there were any new stores or regular stores she'd might like to head into. "How has training been for you since?"

Blake would pretty much do anything for Lordan, the other girl had been her best friend for years so if Lordan put forth the effort to help Blake get a move on, then she would go along with her friend. Plus it was fun to hang out and spend time with Lordan and she greatly enjoyed it, even if she really just wanted to stay in bed all day and sleep. Ah sleep, it was just such a wonderful thing that she enjoyed to do. Her life would be almost complete if she could just sleep and eat candy all day, but she needed that human interaction to fully make her life completes, the interaction that she was now having with Lordan. There was also the fact that she got free clothing out of it and got to be something of a dress up doll for Lordan. Some people may of had a problem with being that, but not Blake because it got her clothing and it was fun to let Lordan let her fashion taste out.

Blake walked along with her friend, arms linked, and walking practically in set as if they were siblings that looked nothing alike. Even if that did happen from time to time in the family gene pool and Blake did like to try and think of Lordan as strictly as her sister. Yet there was a small amount of attraction there but the more time they spent together over the years it did well to behave itself and Blake nodded to Lordan's words, time had seemed to be going by really fast and the year had just started not too long ago. "It's going by fast. I wonder when they are going to send us out to go collect students again." Blake said, deep down happy that time was going by fast because that meant they were closer towards winter. Blake loved her some winter.

She stuck closed to Lordan when they got in the mall, just here for her friend and along for the trip. She didn't really need anything and she was set with the candy that she had brought with her so would follow Lordan like a puppy who could help carry the bags around. "It’s fine. I have been getting more recruiting jobs then students to train so I might change which job I focus on more." Blake pointed out as she looked around, munching on her lollypop. "How is work for you?" Blake asked, curious since she knew Lordan had been pretty busy recently.

[Lordan J. Moa]

"Ah. I guess that is the real question of the day, isn't it?" She said, looking around the scenery. Lordan wouldn't exactly rush the Heads in throwing them out to recruit more students but she did enjoy knowing ahead of time as well as taking somewhat of break from training. Going back and forth between recruiting and training may have been much but with as long as her and Blake had been doing it, she was used to it. "I'm sure they'll find a way to drop a load on us soon. I hear we also have a new intern from the new graduates." She wasn't able to catch his name but she heard he was an adorable one. Hopefully he was up for whatever student was thrown at him.

She looked over at Blake and smiled. "Must be nice, I've been doing way more training than recruiting but I wouldn't mind staying as a back up recruiter. With me currently being the only telepathic recruiter and trainer at the moment, apparently it's said that I'd still be needed for both." Lordan hadn't mind either, both jobs kept her busy enough and she enjoyed staying busy because the moment she allowed herself to be bored, was the moment she would find herself back into acting and theatre. And she wasn't quite ready to get back into that just yet.

"Oh!" She caught a glimpse of a store they almost passed by and had pretty much took a sharp turn into the store, yanking Blake along with. "They have some new dresses and shoes I've seen online. I can't go without seeing if they're actually worth it up close."
