Xavier smiled from ear to ear and picked up a piece of food. He put it in front of Gavin, who ate the food quickly.
"Hungry, Gavin?"
Xavier laughed. He raised his arm up to his shoulder and Gavin jumped onto it. Xavier gave the falcon another piece of food and faced back at Kage.
"So...where to now?"

OOC: Rawr. I'm back and I'm tired, fear my sugar induced wrath. Ahem.
BIC: Faye just spent the next few minutes slowly gazing at Gavin, almost as if sizing him up. A fine bird really, at least in her opinion. Somehow she managed to choke back a peal of laughter as Xaiver and Kage argued over the gender of the bird. She was no bird expert and figured it best to keep her mouth shut.
She scanned the skies for any sign of Auriel, then suddenly realizing that the puffy owl was probably sleeping. Lazy little thing. Useful, but lazy. Ah well. Perhaps the next trip to Diagon Alley she might be able to persuade the stubborn little bird to come along. It might have even been a good backup plan, seeing as she had never expected to run into Kage and Xavier. It was all rather ironic.
"Hm. Not really sure, but I do need new robes." She said, partially telling the truth and partially just wanting to go try on some clothing.

Kage groaned. Helping girls trying on clothes was absolute MURDER. "Here we go...."

Xavier's head sank.
"Great...who wants to kill me now instead of while we're clothing shopping?"

She rolled her eyes and laughed. To her, it seemed the perfect way to spend an afternoon. It had been in the back of her mind that it might not go over very well with the two guys, so she was prepared to get the very bare minimum. Grinning, she quickly nodded and ducked into the robe shop.
It was musty smelling and yet well lit, though it took her a moment to adjust to the odd feeling of the room. Numerous students strolled around the place, either getting fitted or just watching. She walked over to the desk, figuring that she hadn't grown much since last getting fitted.
"I'll just take three new black cloaks, a size three if you have it." She said to the lady behind the counter. Nodding, the slightly old looking woman dipped into a back room and soon returned with the cloaks already wrapped up. She had the money already on the counter and the exchange was quick. Soon she was poking her head out of the store, glancing around for her two companions.
"You two really do exaggerate." She said with a small smile as she held up her bag.

Kage groaned in mock-pain, "Keep them away..." He moaned

Xavier's eyes wandered as Faye got her cloaks. He saw something he liked in the store.
"Ooh...cool. I must have it."
Xavier bounded over to a section of cloaks marked 'Enchanted'. The one that he picked up was a deep, jet black. He put it on, and suddenly images of flames shot up from the base of the cloak and traveled up the fabric, then died down again. They simmered and occasionally spurted up again.
"Am I hot or what?" he joked.
Xavier put the cloak back. He shrugged.
"Not my style."
The boy continued walking through the isles of cloaks, occasionally taking out one or two and trying it on. When he found one that he really liked he came out of the isle and showed it to Kage and Faye. He picked up the tag on it and read it to the other two students.
"'Reflection Cloak. Projects moving images of those who you care about the most onto the various panels placed on the back of the cloak."
Xavier put on the cloak and immediately several images flashed onto the panels. One panel showed his love, Sealla, first in her human form, showing a rare but beautiful smile, and then in her Lycan form, stealthily moving from panel to panel, her eyes watching the area behind him attentively. Another panel showed Faye, smiling as well. She suddenly showed a look of intrigue, then she laughed merrily. Another panel showed Kage, his face serious, his falcon Hunter on his shoulder. Then he smiled and laughed, a look of pure joy on his face. He patted Hunter on the head, then the image repeated. The rest of the panels showed these three people in random order, in various states of emotion and position.
"So? What do you think?"

"Kinda creepy." Kage said, watching himself on Xavier's cloak.

She studied it carefully, watching herself reflected in the fabric. It was almost like holding up a mirror, yet then again not. A small snort burst from her throat upon seeing herself move about, wondering if she always walked that way, carrying herself around as if she owned the place. The whole thing was rather funny, really.
It was a little creepy at the same time, just as Kage had said. Watching Sealla change from human to lycan kind of creeped her out in the first place, and then seeing Kage reflected in fabric scared her fully. It was like the people in the cloak were just like them, but then again not. Something was missing.
"It's beautiful, in a kind of haunting way." She said in a light voice. "Though I do think that I look rather good."

Xavier laughed. He could tell that both of his friends were a bit creeped out by the cape.
"Okay, okay. I'll put it back."
Xavier put the cloak back on the rack and the panels went dark, the images of Sealla, Faye, and Kage disappearing.
OOC: Got the idea for the cloak from a Star Wars book that I read. The only difference was that the panels were TV screens and they played recordings of the guy who wore the cape. He was...how do you say...a bit egotistical?

OOC: Spiffy, how did I guess that it was from Star Wars? *ponders* ;D
BIC: Nodding her approval at the return of the cape, Faye then decided to slink to the back of the shop and see what she could find. Just to try on for fun, like Xavier had. After browsing through a few racks and seeing nothing, her eyes landed upon an old fashioned dress in amazingly good condition. She couldn't resist trying it on.
Ducking quickly behind a rack, she slipped it on and then glanced in a nearby mirror. Not bad, but probably far out of her price range. Hence, she didn't glance at the price but rather stepped out to model it for Xavier and Kage.
The dress was sligtly faded, with none of its beauty dimished. A nice combination of black and dark blue, it was heavy but not smothering. She liked it.
"So, what do you think?" She said, twirling around a few times and grinning.

Xavier hooted a catcall.
"Nice dress, Faye. How much is it again?"
Xavier blatantly tossed her a few extra gold doubloons.

She laughed and blushed, grinning and swirling around a few more times. Now all she needed was an occasion to wear the dress to. Perhaps a school dance, then she would bring the beautiful thing out.
"I'm not sure." She said, scrabbling around for the price tag among many layers. "15 galleons." After pulling out her own purse from behind the clothing rack, she removed ten of her own and then added five from Xavier.
After paying for it, she didn't take it off but rather rushed to hug him.

Xavier hadn't been expecting the hug and grunted as Faye slammed into his chest.
"A bit grateful, aren't we?" he kidded.
Xavier graciously held the hug and then kissed the top of Faye's head.
"You're welcome, Faye. Enjoy it. Think of it as...an early birthday present or something."

She smiled contentedly, snuggling into his chest a little before breaking the hug and looking around for any sign of Kage. He seemed to have disappeared while she was off paying for the dress, which she planned to wear out of the store. She didn't care how silly she looked.
"Hm, I wonder where Kage went.." She mused, peering around the store.
