Getting to Know Earth, Wednesday

[sharp_man]

"Good morning everybody," Hannibal greeted them cheerfully at Portalocity. "It's been brought to my attention that there is a wedding coming up, so today we are going shopping."

He led them through the portal and out onto a street. "It's back to Italy today. Milan instead of Florence. The Quadrilatero d'Oro, the Rectangle of Gold, is one of the premier places in the world to shop for clothing. There are shops for Prada, Gucci, Armani, Ferragamo, Dolce & Gabbana, and many others. Everyone is leaving here today with at least one new set of clothing. You can stay with me, and I will guide you through the stores, or you may explore on your own and put it on my bill. Perhaps stay away from Cartier and Rolex in that case, or at least ask me first." More because he had Opinions than because of concern about money. He trusted you not to buy anything over six figures.

He spread his arms. "I will be beginning in Armani. Enjoy your time."

"At this point," Libby admitted, giving Kurt a faint grin, with the wash of relief that came with someone else knowing just simple homespun clothes, although hers were more charity shops and hand-me-downs, "I'm tempted to just close my eyes, spin around, and go with the first piece I land on."

"We could do that... or, I could try and help you find something and you could help me find something," he said softly. "That way we both won't be fumbling around blindly through all of this."

"I...guess we could do that," Libby agreed, feeling that now familiar heat rushing to her cheeks at the suggestion, her smile a little uncertain, but grateful. "And it's for a wedding, right? So finding you a nice suit shouldn't be very difficult at all."

"Aye!" Kurt agreed with a grin. "And I'm sure there are plenty of nice dresses or skirt and blouses. We shouldn't have trouble finding something nice for you to wear!"

Libby had to admit, a few things had caught her eyes, but she felt tentative, almost dismissive about them, finding it difficult to see herself actually wearing any of this at all.

She caught her lower lip under her teeth for a moment before asking, "Any thoughts on color? Maybe that could be a good place to start."

Kurt thought for a moment before shyly offering up a suggestion.

"I think blues and greens look... look nice on you," he said his voice going a little softer. "But something with some yellow or something nice and bright would look good too I think."

Kurt wanted to tell Libby that he thought anything would look good on her and that any color suited her. But he was too embarrassed as it is to even consider saying that out loud. No matter how much he wanted to tell her.
