Bookshops, apparels, extended panel displays allotted along the streets and flustered gaggles rushing about almost everywhere and aimlessly; the panorama encircling him was smothering sufficiently to render him breathless as he treaded past the huddled throngs hindering his pathway. Livid? To say the least, the bloke was not in a most amiable nature, though quite the complete opposite to it, as to even feel nettled.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses to block the sun’s shimmer, he was in a reticent distant demeanour, close to unravel into havoc. In matter of seconds, the mental imagery of his highly physically attractive psychiatrist cropped up in his mind, along with the admonishing words ‘Dunked in a sea of people and yet you are alone. Find that solitary confinement whenever you’re surrounded, Waldorf’ reverberating ever so softly that it hummed close to his ears. He abided by the behest and let a gust of oxygen through his lungs as he inhaled deeply, letting it out past a few instances. Still donned in his scholar indumentum, with a scarf around his neck, he aimed some cursory glances at the stores he walked past – quite nonchalantly.
To stress his taste was exquisite, would wane the standards he intended for - reared in Scotland by a wealthy, aristocratic bundle he referred to as his kin, etiquette was a basis and the radix to his bearing, visage and education. Despite the conspicuous black blotch in the shape of a cross at his right forearm (which was exposed, regardless of the cold environment) that was deemed as a stigma of the obstreperous gang. A rebel? Indeed, was him. Not completely amoral and tipped down the downfall of his livelihood, but swerving from the normalcy of living. Ergo, he wouldn’t be lured by bargain shops or the like, but by something more sophisticated.
Killian’s footsteps ushered him through the entrance to an exclusive side of the Centre, which in his words would be the most decent niche of the whole edifice, although it didn’t quite sufficed his expectations. He entered the place with a posh billboard like fringe and relied on his instinct to walk towards the exhibit for plaid shirts (an oft pleasure of his), besides a set where shoeing was settled. His eyes roved across the hung set and fixated on the silhouette of a gal that, he surmised, should work in there.
“Would you mind fetching a pair of these for me, love?” he said pointing firmly at the pair of boots that seemed befitting for his whim, “should be a twelve… or so. My feet tend to swell and shrink on different climate, so I always opt for them to be smidge slack” he simpered at her – something inwardly told him he mightn’t be talking like that to a total stranger that, perhaps, just happened to be at the store at the time – nonetheless, affluent characters, as his, were prone to be obnoxious.
