Bethany led the way to the other side of the establishment. Here the clothes were organized in a similar fashion: Casual, Sport, Leisure, Formal and the like. Bethany started at the first rack and looked through what was there. She pulled a few pieces then moved on to the next set. She really had no idea what she should pick, and tried not to look at the pieces and how practical they would be. That made her amused, even her clothes were going to get a vacation.

Aasrel followed her. He watched her browse the racks for a while, then looked through some of them himself, occasionally showing her something he thought was nice. He picked a nice top that would definitely be in style on Betazed, an airy light top with the fabric looking like it was wrapped. What about this?

Bethany took everything he showed her. Especially if it was something she wouldn’t normally pick. Her eyes widened at the shirt. I like the color. She reached out and took it feeling the fabric. It feels like water it’s so smooth. What should I put with it?

Lt. Cmdr. Gadi, COS

Uhm, I don’t know. Aasrel looked at some other things and frowned. I’m really bad with style.

~ Izei, CMO

We’ll find something. You just keep picking things you like, and I’ll try them on. They collected pieces until Bethany was at risk of dropping them. She laughed at the absurdity and then asked for a room to try them on. The first thing she tried on was the wrap shirt in burgundy. She paired it with black slacks that hugged her hips and then flared out gently from the knees. She came out and did a small twirl, What do you think?

Aasrel stared for a moment before collecting himself. Bethany could feel how much he liked her in those. Beautiful. Absolutely stunning. He smiled and looked up at her.

Bethany could feel the heat in her cheeks. Well, I guess this is a yes. Be right back. The next several outfits were casual. Slacks, sweaters, sleeveless blouse, a heavier pair of cargo pants, shorts, a long calf length sweater over leggings with a wide leather belt, and one long, and one midriff jacket.

Then she came out in a navy blue dress. It was calf length with a full skirt and a split up the left him. The right arm was a half sleeve from the shoulder. The left was off the shoulder and also ended at the elbow. It was gathered at the waist with a off center wrap belt.

Aasrel commented on each of the outfits. Most of them looked lovely. Some he said it looked nice on the rack but on, not so much. The dress though… He was verbally and telepathically speechless for several moments. Finally he managed, Bethany, you are GETTING that one.

~ Izei, CMO

She was self conscious about it. Almost shy. She hadn’t even really looked at any of the dresses, but the clerk had suggested it and was so eager to help that Bethany just took it. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d worn anything like it. Really? She looked down at it uncertainly. But where would I wear it?

Lt. Cmdr. Gadi, COS

Aasrel gave her a look. For me. He smiled and chuckled, Anytime, just because you can. You’re drop dead gorgeous. Really. Oh, I know! Wear it to my parents’ house!

~ Izei, CMO

Really? At their house? It isn’t too much? It was clear to him that Bethany felt uncertain, even though there was a delicious warmth at his compliment. This can’t be ‘for you’ if I wear it to your parents house! Then it’s not just for you. She grinned and laughed, covering her uncertainty.

Lt. Cmdr. Gadi, COS

It’s certainly very fancy, but they wouldn’t mind. They’d think you’re trying to impress. Aasrel replied, smiling. He laughed, That’s true. Either way, you’re getting that one. You have to.

~ Izei, CMO

Okay… she didn’t sound sure at all. But if I’m wearing something this fancy then so are you. You aren’t making me do this by myself. She gave him a sassy look and then went back into the room to change. Okay while I get this back on a hanger, you go find me something that is just for you.
