Into Kohls
Tyler: "Yep!" He smiled as he climbed into the car, "Peddle is such a low word....makes you sound like you're a street begger." Tyler attempted to raise her spirits, "My dad said that when he was starting to sell his work, he was bartering.  Makes you feel more confident about you work."

Karen: "What are you doing silly-head? Kohls is like right there," Karen points in front of the car and towards the Kohls' sign in the parking lot, which also pointed towards the entrance to the store, Karen makes sure the trunk is locked, and starts to walk towards the Kohls' entrance.

Tyler: Turning his head, he saw the giant 'Kohls' sign, "Oh....." Clearly Tyler was still getting his bearing in the city. Hopping out he re-joined Karen, "So, how do I keep you from getting lost in clothes shopping?"

Karen: "Pray to whatever gods," she winks, "there may be, that I don't get stuck looking at bras or underwear," She says, knowing full well that the only reason she was going to Kohls to get the shower curtain was so that she could look at a dress or two she had found online.

Tyler: He made the 'disguted ten-year-old' face again, "You wouldn't dare drag me with you to go look at those." He didn't have to try too hard to fake that, he avoided that section of stores like the plague. To him, you don't put underwear on public display, even if you're buying them, "Do that, and I'm telling mom."

Karen: Karen gives a short giggle at this, "We might look at dresses too," she winks, she steps onto the door mat and the entrance to the store opens. Karen walks in and points at a mini buggy for Tyler to acquire.

Tyler: He rolled his eyes, "Is the only reason you made me come in here with you is to push the cart?" He brought the cart to her and prepares to begrudginly push it for her, "Is there anything in here for me to do while you shop for not-shower-curtains?"

Karen: "Maybe," She smiles, "Besides, you'll be glad you came—if you want you can look at the not fully grown people's clothes on the other side of the store—or you could come with me, safety in numbers, and I'll go with you after I get done, because I know what I want, I just have to try it on," She smiles.

Tyler: Muttering under his breath, he followed Karen, "I'm only doing it to be safe..." This was his first time in town after all, and he didn't know how many Broken Covenant member walked the streets. "I do want to look at scarves though...." He'd been trying to make his rainbow objects clothlike so that he could make himself a scarf, but the closest he had gotten was  a sheet of rainbow with the flexiblity of cardstock. He figured that if he could feel the material in his hands for a bit, he could then visualize later.

Karen: Karen walks towards the dresses, "That's fine," She smiles, then her face sets to a frown when she sees Zora, Zora was taller and much more fit than Zaken had described her, which scared her somewhat, because she didn't know what Zora was capable of. "Detour," Karen walks through the women's bra/panties section in order to get to the womens clothes without having to walk directly by Zora.

Tyler: He was baffled why they weren't going directly there, but didn't question as per Ty's rules. When he saw that she was pulling him through the bra/panties section, Tyler cringed, "I thought you weren't gonna make me go through here." He complained, keeping up his act.

Karen: She doesn't say anything but walks through and around to the women's clothing section, keeping close tabs on Tyler to make sure he's okay.

Tyler: When Karen didn't return the act, he starts to worry. Detour...what could get Karen so worked up that she-" it then dawned on him, Broken Covenant?  No...no...no... Tyler grips the cart for dear life as he keeps the cart close to her, not wanting to get lost or left behind.

Karen: skips the dresses, and turns into the the boys section of the store, "Scarves are over here," She says without smiling, a bit of discord was evident in her eyes and in the way her lips had firmly pulled away from their usual smile.

Tyler: Nodding he goes over to the scarves and starts to feel the cloth between his fingers, commiting the feel and attributes of the cloth to his mind. After a bit he hangs the cloth back up and pulls a sheet of paper from his bag and quickly scrawls on it 'Broken Covenant?'  Returning to Karen, Tyler forces a smile at her and sets the paper in he children's seat of the cart for her to see.

Karen: Karen grabs the piece of paper and crumples it up, handing it back to Tyler, "Somewhat, you can speak you know, it's not as bad as you think, just one of them, hopefully,"

Tyler: "Prepare for the worse, hope for the best," Tyler replied, stashing the crumpled paper into his bag, "Did she see you?" Tyler knew that if a Broken Covenant member were to have spotted them, they would've noticed Karen, not him. Tyler was already looking for an exit if they needed one.

Karen: "Nah, doesn't matter if she did, Zora won't recognize me, Zaken didn't know any of us when he was dating her, so we're fine, just don't say his name to much or she'll know we know him, then we will have trouble," Karen says calmly, "But I saw this really cute set of bra and panties, and we might just have to go back and see if they have them in light yellow and pink," She smiles an easy, laid back smile now.

Tyler: He took note of the name, and had to stop himself from making a video game joke, which was easy when Karen mentioned wanting to go back tot he bra/panties section. "Really?  We gotta go back there again?" the line between acting and reality was really starting blur with that line.

Karen: "Yes we have to actually go back, and if you keep complaining, I'll make you watch me put them on," Karen furls her eyebrows at Tyler, raising one, insinuating a "try me" look. She says as she starts walking back towards that section.

Tyler: His expression went from one of disgust to sheer terror, "Shutting up now." In silent terror he pushed the cart after her, holdinging his tongue.

Karen: She walks directly to the pair she wants, leafs through a few of them until she finds the size and color she wants, and then walks towards the dressing room.

Tyler: Begrudgingly parking the cart outside the dressing rooms, he sat against the wall and pulled out his sketch pad and starts to do a sketch of Jake shooting an arrow so he can show Karen when she's done changing. I'm sure I can get a fair amount of money for each drawing....

Karen: She comes out, quite happy with the undergarments, and hangs them on the edge of the buggy, "Let's get outa here before in case that girl shows up again," she says to the buggy, not having seen Tyler sitting on the ground.

Tyler: Looking up to her he coughed to get her attention, "Down here Karen..." tucking his sketch pad away, he stood back up and went back to his position on the handle of the cart, "Aye Aye Skipper." He started to push the cart for the cashiers.

Karen: She walks alongside Tyler, then ahead of him to one of the two cash registers, noting that in fact, that Zora, who has on a blue over coat, and black jeans is at the counter behind them, Karen doesn't even nudge Tyler, hoping that he sees her on his own and just acts normal.

Tyler: Steering the cart into to the other lane, Tyler takes a quick glance at the person in the other lane and recognizes her as the woman that Karen wanted to avoid. Staying silent, waits for Karen to check out before puting the cart away.

Karen: Karen grabs the bag, and walks towards the exit to the building, past Zora, who stands a the cash register debating with the cashier that she does not in fact need a kohls charge. Karen however walks out the entrance and begins to quickly walk towards the car, "SHOOT!" she says. "I forgot shower curtains," she says while face-palming, "Damnit," she mutters under her breath.

Tyler: Tyler looks at her, "Well if you didn't keep dragging me through the underwear section, I might have remembered..." He tries to keep the act up, but it's clear that he's nervous due to the fact a Broken Covenant member is merely yards away.
