Nari was a bit surprised to feel the other grab her hand like that. They had met a little less than an hour ago yet Meiko was already comfortable with taking Nari's hand like that, as if they were friends to begin with. Nari shrugged off the idea and followed Meiko to the next store of her choosing.
Nari turned her head to listen to Meiko as she talked about the next store they were going to, picking out the details that made it different from the store they were just in. As they continued walking, Nari looked around but her surroundings weren't that familiar to her. Perhaps because she never really came down this way to shop for anything. Nari didn't shop at a lot of the high end stores due to her family's financial state, so she made do with what was available, even dolling some clothes she had up a bit to make them appear as if she bought them at a high end fashion store. Nari kept her mother's advice in mind as she turned to the taller girl with a smile, nodding in response to her question. They stopped once they stepped inside the store so Nari could get her notebook back out. She wrote down her message and showed it to Meiko:
"True, I have never been shopping down this way before, but a tour sounds great!  "

Meiko happily showed the girl around the store. She showed her where the acessories are, where the shoes are, where the shirts, blouses, tops, pants, skirts and dresses are. Basically gave her the whole run down.
After the little tour, she turned to Nari and asked "Well, what do you think? Do you like? Do you feel comfy exploring on your own in the search of the top?"
As much as Meiko wanted to help the fashionably challenged girl, she also wanted to find something for herself. She needed to woo her one true love. Which meant she needed to look fabulous. Getting her crush was her one goal in life. Failing would mean she'd just find some sloppy seconds. Speaking of goals. She felt she needed to get to know her companion. But for now, the two girls were boh into their 'shopping mode', getting to know eachother and other chit chat would have to wait

Nari was definitely not comfortable with a store this big, she didn't know where to start with how many different departments there were from shoes to hats and accessories, from casual wear to formal wear. It was all a little overwhelming to Nari who had lived a simple life. She listened to Meiko as she showed her around but she still was quite unsure if she would be able to look around by herself without getting lost.
Nari bit her lip, her face had a look of uncertainty on it as Meiko asked her if she was comfortable looking on her own. She took her notebook out and began writing, in hopes she could convey her uneasiness about the situation to the taller. When she was finished, she looked up at Meiko, a worried look on her face, and showed her what she had written:
"It is a nice store, do not get me wrong, but I am still uncomfortable looking around by myself. I do not know many other stores than the one was had visited previously. If it is not too much trouble, could I perhaps look around with you again? We don't have to look for me only, you can look for yourself and I can watch."
If they stuck together, they could look in the same sections in search of something they liked. It wasn't like Nari would be glued to Meiko's side....although, Nari wouldn't mind that considering the new environment she was in and Meiko being the only one she knew there.

Reading her reply, it was obvious the girl couldnt go explore by herself. She was out of her element
"Okay then! Follow me!" she said as she gestured this time to follow her, instead of just grabbing her hand and pulling her along
Meiko showed Nari around the store. She showed her where the accessories are and allowed her to take a look there for a while. Then she showed her where a bunch of hats are, and she allowed her to stay and take a look around, even Meiko tried a few ones for herself, but not actually buying. Next she showed her areas like shoes, dresses, skirts, pants and lastly. The best for last, blouses, shirts and tops. This was where the two would spend the most time. Searching for Nari's top..or blouse...or shirt... well, whatever she wanted. Surely it would be here. Meiko was confident that the two would find an ideal clothing item for Nari.
Before the two really started digging around and searching. Meiko asked "So, what do you think of this place so far?"

Nari followed Meiko all around the store, taking a closer look at the different departments instead of a casual rundown of each. The two finally settled on the tops section of the store, stocked with multiple styles and types of tops for them to browse. Nari listened to Meiko's question and took her notebook out, writing her reply before showing Meiko:
"I think it is quite big, but it all looks really nice. The selection is wide, so I am sure I am bound to find at least something I'll like!"
Nari looked at the other with a smile before heading into the section, stopping at one of the many racks there and began her search for a new top. Nari took her notebook out and wrote something down before tucking it away, knowing she might not be able to take it back out of she had tops in her hand. Within the first few moments of searching, Nari came across two rather different tops, one was a cream long bell sleeved blouse with a v-neck cut and the other was a blush short sleeve top with a strap across the neck and a small triangle shaped cutout just above her breasts. She held onto the two shirts she found before looking once more.
When Nari felt like she had looked enough, not even making it a quarter of the way through the section, she went to find her new acquaintance to show the other what she bought. Nari thought she did well searching in a store she had never been in before, holding five shirts of different styles in her hand was a big move for the 'plain-jane' brunette.

She watched as Nari took a look at what the store had to offer. She felt proud when Nari went to look solo for her top. She smiled and crossed her arms, thinking Nari as a protege of a sort. Although, while the 'protege' was looking around. Meiko still wondered why she didnt talk. Was the Quirk perhaps a cause for mute-ness? In this strange world, it seemed like everything was possible.
Meiko waited for Nari, curious to see if she would find something. But what she didnt expect was that her protege not only found something she liked. She even bought it! Meiko clapped her hands and complimented her "Wow! Amazing! Good job! So, do tell...wanna hang out and go to a cafe? My treat"
She wanted to hang out with Nari more and get to know her. She was curious about her and her quirk.

Nari, rather quickly found Meiko and smiled, excited to show her what she had purchased. She pulled her notebook out and showed the other what she had written after she made her purchases.
"I'm so happy that I found something that I liked! This was rather fun, who knew one could be successful coming to a new store!"
A hint of pink dusted Nari's cheeks as she was proud of herself for trying something out of her comfort zone. She opened her eyes and listened to Meiko ask if they wanted to go to a cafe of sorts. Nari didn't see why not, since it was still rather overcast outside, and it wasn't too late as of yet to where stores would close, they could spend a bit more time together. Nari looked at the violette and nodded, content with going to a cafe. There some really great cafes in town, each with their own charm. Nari always had a favorite order with each cafe she visited. Nari wrote something in her notebook before showing Meiko.
"A cafe sounds fun! There are quite a few good cafes here that we could visit. I would be happy anywhere we went, since you said it was your treat."
Perhaps when they were sitting down waiting at the cafe, Nari could show Meiko the tops she had found and purchased. It would be good to pass the time and to keep a conversation going.

Meiko was glad that Nari finally seemed to relax around her
"Okay then! Show me your fav cafe" Meiko said as she smiled
She liked this girl, she never got to hang out with someone and shop. Usually she'd try to impress her senpai and make him notice her. But sadly, it seemed her senpai disapproved of her actions. Thats one of the reasons she was shopping. On one hand she wanted to impress her crush with her sexy looks and on the other side this was shopping therapy
Meiko followed Nari to her fav cafe. And after the two girls found a place to sit, Meiko had to ask "So tell. What clothes did you find?" she was all to eager to talk either fashion or boys or gossip or ALL OF THE ABOVE
She already had multiple questions in her head. Like Quirk. She really wanted to know Nari's Quirk and see if it was linked to her... lack of talking

Nari smiled and took Meiko's hand, just like the other had done to her when they walked to this little shop, and went back out to go to the one cafe Nari really liked...since the other said they could go there.
After a light walk through town, the two girls arrived at a Victorian looking cafe, old rustic wooden carving and fine china lining the walls of the cafe. Nari felt like this was her second home, she could always come here to cheer up or to clear her mind. Nari beamed as she looked around the cafe, noticing the subtle changes the owners made to the overall design. Once the two girls were seated, Nari quickly glanced at the menu before placing it down, giving Meiko a chance to look and decide on what she wanted to order.
Nari looked up, hearing the other ask about her recent purchases from the store they were in. Nari picked the bag with her shirts in and took them out one by one, showing her the bell sleeved cream top, the blush triangle cut out, a white cup sleeve button down blouse, a black three-quarter sleeve top, and a plain white sheer blouse. Nari was quite happy with her purchases, stepping a little out of what she was used to to try something different.
Nari beamed when the waitress came around, one of the ones she was closer to. The blonde waitress looked down at both of them and smiled, "Are you ladies ready to order? I take it, the usual for you Nari?" The blonde asked, turning to the brunette. Nari nodded and smiled up at the other, her cheeks still tinted pink, happy to see a familiar face again. The blonde wrote something down on her pad before turning to Meiko, "and what may I get you miss?" she asked with a genuine smile.

She was glad to see Nari happy. And she enjoyed seeing what she recently bought. Meiko gave Nari a lil thumbs up and said "Nice! Good for you!"
She tried to encourage Nari, make her not scared of trying new things. And after Nari's little display of her recent purchases. A Waitress came who seemingly knew Nari well. She then asked what Meiko would like
"Hmm...just give me a refreshing soda" she said, making a simple order
After the waitress took her leave, Meiko was free to chat and ask
"SO! Pardon me asking, but Im super curious. Do you have a Quirk? And if so. What is it?" she asked
Meiko really wanted to see if her theory was right that Nari's quirk was the cause of her mute-ness. After all Quirks could have some strange or severe reprecussions on the body

"Coming right up! I will be back with your orders shortly! And you can call me Himeki." the blonde waitress said before leaving the two girls to put their order in. Nari was delighted to see her old friend again, she really wanted to talk with the other again but maybe another time would be better. Nari turned her attention back to Meiko who was asking about Nari's quirk. Nari set her bag of tops down next to her and took her notebook out, tapping her chin a few times before she began to write, She was still a bit wary of Meiko so she wouldn't tell her anything that may trace her back to anything. When she was finished writing, she looked over what she had written and corrected a few mistakes before turning her notebook around so Meiko could see her message:
"Yes, I do have a quirk. If you hadn't already guessed, my quirk is a mutation quirk. My quirk is what helped in determining my physical appearance, hence the round eyes and green-like skin. In short my tongue is like that of a lamprey, but it might not be wise to show my quirk here in a public area. I wouldn't want to upset the owners or make any of the other tenants uncomfortable. Mutants don't receive a lot of good reputation in society."
Nari set her notebook down and let Meiko read what she had written. In the meantime, Nari unfolded her napkin and placed it on her lap and fiddled with her hands as the girl could never keep still. She had to be doing something whether that be counting all the chine cups on the walls around them to cleaning the dust off the table. It was a bad habit of hers.

Meiko blinked in surprise
"Your skin is green? Huh...I didnt notice. I thought you were just really really pale...or ill. Sorry about it" she apologized
Meiko honestly didnt even noticed the green in her skin. Sure she noticed the eyes, which were weird, but it was the normal weird. With Quirks and general ugliness. But there was something else she said
"Whats a lamprey? Is that like an animal? A lamp ray gun? Im...not quite sure what you mean"
She thought after this that Meiko should tell her a bit about her own quirk. Well...she'll give just as much info that Nari gave her. It seemed like both girls didnt want to tell to much about that Quirk. Meiko figured that Nari was probably ashamed of it. After all, mutations were hideous, no amount of makeup can fix a bad mutation. Meiko was so glad she was an emitter, basically a walking armoury for people.

Nari shook her head with a smile, writing a quick message before showing Meiko:
"It's no trouble really, most people think I look sick but it's just because of my mutation that my skin is slightly green-tinted. And no my skin does not get greener if I am actually ill."
Nari was surprised to hear that the other had never heard of what a lamprey was before, she thought they were pretty common creatures. She had even seen a few before other than when using her quirk. Nari wanted to laugh at how silly the other's response was but she didn't. Instead, Nari looked through her notebook until she came across a simple drawing of a lamprey she did. She wrote a small message next to the picture so Meiko would understand.
"This is what a lamprey looks like. My tongue can turn into this whenever I want it to. Lamprey are in simple terms like snakes of the water. Think of a combination of an eel, snake, and a leech and that's essentially what a lamprey is."
Nari quite enjoyed being a mutant. She was not embarrassed or ashamed because of it, she believed her mutation made her unique but in a good way! Who wants to look like the same boring 'average Joe' when you can look completely out of the ordinary!

"Oh...ooohhh so thats what a lamprey is!" Meiko said as she saw the drawing and read Nari's words. She then switched to a totally american valley girl Beverly Hills accent to make her next point clear "Aw shucks, but what do I know. Im just a fashion guru or a fashionista. What ever term is correct"
She then clapped her hands and switched back to her normal voice
"Well, since you told me your Quirk, I should tell you my." she stated and then proceeded to explain her Quirk "I'm an Emitter type. Basically I'm a walking armoury. I can create weapons" she then chuckled "I know, not a very fashionable Quirk. If a Quirk decided my carrer path, I'd be a Soldier or something. Not this...ah...how I wish I could make thread and sew fashionable clothes" she mused

Nari smiled when Meiko finally understood what her quirk was. She took her notebook back and wrote another message before showing Meiko:
"Aren't they interesting? Lamprey are such fascinating creatures! I would have to say they are one of my favorite aquatic animals! I even thought of keeping one as a pet when I was younger."
Nari was a bit confused when the other changed voices but didn't say anything, instead she kept smiling as she listened to Meiko go back to her normal voice and this time talk about her quirk. An emitter quirk hmm? It was more common to find an emitter or transformation quirk than there was to find a mutation quirk so Nari wasn't all that surprised. Nari took her notebook back and wrote a few things down when Meiko was finished explaining her quirk, only showing the other once she was finished writing:
"Does that mean you can pull out weapons at will? Is there a max to how many you can have at once? What types of weapons can you make? What exactly are these weapons made of?"
Nari was rather curious about different types of quirks and wanted to gather as much information as she could about each new quirk she encountered. Nari looked up at Meiko with hopeful eyes, praying that the other would go into more detail about what her quirk did and it's capabilities and downsides.
