"Let's see. Enny meeny miny. . .you." She said as she pointed to one building and the another and then another and then her finger finally stopped on one. Her finger stopped on a gift shop at the corner of the street. "Huh, I guess a gift shop it is." She started walking to the shop, not bothering to look if Charity was following or not.
Charity huffed but followed after her silently, shifting in her dark hoodie as she looked around. “Are you sure we should be here?”
"The question should be 'Should we even be in this time period'? And no we shouldn't, but yet here we are. Lighten up a little, Charity. No one knows us here. They don't know we're Americans. Nothing is going to happen. We're just going to explore the town and then we'll leave."
They reached the gift shop and she opened the door. "Ladies first," Alexis said teasingly.
Charity sighed and pursed her lips but shifts her hoodie before walking in. She looked around the shop with a concerned look. "People are already staring"
Aleis shrugged, not really caring if the people were staring or not. "Let them stare, you shouldn't care what people think about you." She said as she walked backwards, grinning.
The people were indeed looking. Some were giving them weird looks while others just found them amusing. A little girl, around the age of seven looked at Aexis and giggled. "She's funny," she whispered to her mother. The other in response frowned at Alexis and shook her head.
Charity chuckles softly but didn’t answer. “You may be better at hiding emotions, but I can tell you right now when people stare I’d rather curl up in a ball and die”
Alexis gives her a smile and turns her attention to all the things in the store. "I definitely gonna have to buy something interesting. But also something pretty. Something. . .vintage. . . . maybe. What are you going to buy Charity?"
"Everything in this store is considered vintage in our time…" She whispered, not looking around. "I'm not going to get anything "
"Oh? And why's that? Don't you want something to remind you of your time here?" Alexis asked as she grabbed a cool looking object. She didn't know what it is, but it got her interest.
"No mid rather not. And you shouldn't either. We could alter time if we do something wrong."
She pouted and crossed her arms. "You're no fun. Either way, I'm still going to buy this, and you can't stop me," She said as she stuck out her tongue.
(Sorry!)
“Fine fine. But it’s not gonna be my fault if you ruin time and something happens in the future because of you…” she hummed simply, closing her eyes to relax
(Holy crap, I legit thought I had responded to this.)
"Nothing's going to happen, trust me." She said as she walked up front to pay for a blue glass figurine of an elephant. She stood behind the same woman who frowned at her when her daughter had said that she was funny. The girl turned around and waved at Alexis and Alexis waved right back.
(It's Oki! I honestly forgot I had a notebook account :( )
Charity didn't say anything, just stood beside Alexis silently. "So I have a question for you…"
She tilted her head and turned around slightly. "Oh? Well then, go ahead and ask your question."
"I've never seen you in class before. Why's what, Loner?" She teased softly, nudging her aem
"You must've not seen the entire class then. I'm at the back of the class," She responded as she rolled her eyes.
She moved up the line and place the figurine on the counter and handed the money to him. He looked at it and then shrugged as he put it in the cash register and gave Alexis a bag. She moved to the side to let Charity pay.
Charity didn't have anything she wanted to buy and so smiles softly. "We sure…? Cause I sit in the very last row" she hummed, tugging her hood over her brown hair
"Uh…..I'm on the far end of the row?" She said, more like a question than a statement. As the girls made their way out of the shops, two figures were running across the square with a bag and they seemed to frantically be looking around for something.
“Woah!” Her eyes widen as she glanced at the two figures. She looked around with worry as she bit her bottom lip. “They seem scared”
She nodded and tried her best to spot the figures again. "I wonder why…" Without any warning, she left Charity's side and started walking towards the figures She was determined to figure out why they seemed scared, and maybe she could even help them.
"Hey! Wait!" She huffed softly as she walked forward, gripping Alexiz' arm. "What're you doing?"
"Well, I'm of course going to talk to them. I want to know why they're so scared. I don't see anything wrong with that." She said as she managed to get of Charity's grip.
She huffed, tugging on strands of her had before following Alexis. "Five minutes…five minutes and then we're going back home."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say Charity."
As the two approached the strangers, Alexis could hear whispering, but she couldn't quite hear what they were saying. The strangers looked up as they heard the footsteps of the two girls.
"Who's there?" A male voice asked. "If you're here to arrest us, I'd just leave us alone if I were you. I have a weapon and I'm not afraid to use it, ain't that right Clara?"
"Ya, we'll destroy all of your bones if you take another step." A female voice responded.
"Woah, calm down," Alexis responded. "I'm not part of the police, and I'm not going to hurt any of you."She turned to Charity. "Right, Charity?"
