Just one of the girls (Aryanna)

[taylore]

Luke had returned and he brought his little sister some money. They weren't out of the cardboard box yet though. No, the two had scraped up enough for him to go shopping for food and her to take a trip through the mall like any other girl should be able to do. It probably helped that Taylor was pickpocketing during her little stroll. Mostly men were her targets. Older men and young guys her age. They were the easiest to target after all. Taylor wore one of her hoodies as always, though the hood was down and her dirty blond hair was a bit of a mess. She smelled sweet, like lilac and honey suckle. Her brother had managed to bring her home some nice perfume. The expensive make you smell pretty kind. He did it as an apology for having left her alone for too long.

Her hoodie was unzipped just enough to show her pale skin and ample amount of cleavage. She wore a small pleated skirt and ripped up fishnets. A belt that looked a little too big hung around her waist and off her hip on her left side. The naughty bad girl always got attention and while men and boys were busy staring, her little hand would slip something from their pockets. By the end of her little walk she had about $200. She stashed a $100 away for Luke, and made sure it was tucked away safely in her cleavage. Taylor rather liked New York. Sure people guarded them selves but humans were humans after all and they looked when they wanted. It gave her time to get what she wanted. She also got to look. As of late her attention had been drawn more to females then the males.

Girls in New York dressed very sexily and if she didn't notice she would have to be blind. You could question Taylor's sexuality, she wouldn't mind. She would blatantly tell you she favored women over men but was not adverse to a man's charm. Women were much more alluring and appealing as far as she was concerned. Currently, Taylor's eyes would lock on some dark auburn haired girl and sweep over the girl's form. Taylor admired other females. Their grace and beauty... it was always interesting to her though for some reason, this girl interested her more than the others who she had recently passed. So much so, that Taylor decided to introduce her self to the lovely girl before her. No doubt she had been over looked, but she soon wouldn't be. Taylor would slowly make her way towards the girl and gently, oh so gently bump into her.

The contact though deliberate would seem an accident. Taylor though made no accidents even as her hands gently reached up to steady her self and the girl. A soft Virginian accent left her pink lips.

"Sorry 'bout that."

[Aryanna Katashi]

Aryanna was at the mall. Why? Because she had nothing better to be doing today and because she honestly loved spending her "parents" money any chance she got. They never seemed to tell her no and to be quite honest, she had no clue why. But then, she didn't understand half the stuff they did or didn't do. It was all really a mystery to her.

But that aside, she was here, currently looking through her purse to try and find her gum. She had a lot of shopping ahead of her still and she was dying for a taste of something sweet, and far too lazy to walk the twenty some odd feet to the snack bar and buy something. Nope, she would stand here and stubbornly root around in her purse trying to find that one stick of gum she had thrown in here about two and a half weeks ago. Because if one thing was true, it was that Aryanna was stubborn as all hell on a lot of things, even if she was in a bit of a flux as far as what her personality was like.

Though just as she thought she caught a glimpse of that shiny silver wrapper that held the delicious strawberry flavored bubble gum in it, she would feel somebody bump into her. It wasn't a very hard bump, but a bump just the same. Enough to jostle her about and move the contents of her purse around to once more conceal that wrapper.

Damnit...

A mental grumble just before hearing that soft voice speak up from somewhere near her. Those oddly colored eyes, complete with those intricate and unique designs, looking up to the girl as she struggled to keep her irritation to a minimum right now. Looking over her figure with a little bit of interest, if for no other reason than she was always looking at people and then shrugging slightly. "It is alright.." Her own, thick French accent rolling off her tongue as she abandoned her quest for gum....for now, and reached up to lightly tuck her dark silken locks back behind her ear.

Her attire today, nothing too fancy. Just a pair of jeans, a red tank top and a pair of beat up looking sneakers. As always though, that rosary hung down around her neck and over her stomach, but then she was never without it. The purse she had just been holding now being slid up onto her shoulder and out of the way as she kept her focus on the blond who now stood before her.

[taylore]

The eyes of the girl she bumped into, almost had a hypnotizing quality to them. Then the french accent that rolled from the lips of the beauty she had bumped into, well Taylor was sold on this one. Luke always did find it amusing how Taylor could find beautiful women so easily. Though now... Taylor had the girl's attention... she was at a loss at what to do. The shy quiet part of her wanted to just walk around the girl as if nothing had happened. However, Taylor had been TRYING to be more... sociable as of late. The constant silence thing in a school was... well boring and she couldn't very well rely on her brother to be her only interaction now could she? Nope.

"Ya sure? Cause uh... didn't seem like it was alright... kinda looked like ya were looking for somethin' and I went and bumped ya. Ya lost what ya were lookin' for didn't ya?"

Taylor asked a smirk crossing her lips. She looked at the girl's bag and nodded.

"Those things can be great for holding our stuff but they are also our own worst enemies. Seein' girls walk around with their purses... I always think of that Mary Poppins lady. She always had a bunch of stuff in her bag."

Oh nice one Taylor, trying to hit on a girl and end up talking about a childrens movie. She silently cursed her usually anti-social behavior for screwing this up for her. Hopefully for the girl, it wouldn't be too obvious just how awkward Taylor really was.

[Aryanna Katashi]

Ary's eyes would drift down to her purse as the remark was made toward it. A little purse of her lips as she shrugged, debating on how she felt about this conversation being dragged out longer than it needed to be. "Yes well, I was looking for my gum, but I think it is lost cause now." She shrugged softly and would lightly trail her tongue along her lower lip. Her unique eyes looking back to the blond as she tilted her head slightly.

However as the reference to the children's move was made, Ary's eyes would show a hint of confusion and her brow would furrow just a bit. She grew up in an orphanage in France, she had never heard of this Mary Poppins woman other than a few sideways references here and there by some of the older kids and teachers. "I suppose. I do not know. I have only ever heard of that to woman through other people. They did not show us movies at the orphanage in France very often." She shrugged, clearly trying to play it off as nothing, and doing a damn good job of it. Though to be honest, it was a little hard since some things like that made her feel a little....well stupid at times.

However she would eventually just square her shoulders and straighten up, a little sigh passing her lip as one hand moved to idly toy the rosary that hung about her neck. Her lower lip caught between her teeth as she looked over the girl once more, this time a bit more slowly, taking in all her features.

[taylore]

Gum? Taylor blinked and thought a moment. Didn't she pick pocket someone who had some. She had kept it cause, hey who didn't love gum. If the girl wanted some, well it would only be right that Taylor give her some. Especially since our little blond flirt was the cause of the girl not getting any.

"Gum eh? I got some, if ya want some. Not sure if its one you like."

To be honest, Taylor didn't even know what kind it was till she procured it from her hoodie pocket. She looked down. Juicy fruit. That should be sweet enough. She would hold the packet out to the girl before her. Almost like a peace offering. When the girl seemed confused by Taylor's reference, the homeless girl blinked. The french girl spoke and soon Taylor's own confusion was gone. A orphan? Really now? Well that added so much more to this little list of interesting that Taylor was making in her mind. Taylor her self was an orphan in some ways.

"I see. Well to clarify then... this Mary Poppins lady... she was a nanny of sorts. All magic and stuff. She ended up babysitting for two kids, sang and danced to teach them life lessons. Then she would pull a bunch of odd things out of her big purse. I think a teapot and a bird cage at one point. Don't quote me on that though. Haven't seen the movie since I was five."

It was here Taylor would notice the girl looking over her features and here that Taylor would smile a bit.

"I'm Taylor... you can call me Tay."

She looked around then back at the girl. Taylor this time wouldn't hide herself obviously eying the girl. Why should she? She thought the girl had an amazing look about her and so Taylor would do her best to keep that shy anti-social behavior at bay.

[Aryanna Katashi]

Aryanna would arch her brow slightly with a hint of suspicion at the offer of gum. She as a greedy bitch for the most part, but she was also slightly paranoid. No real reason other than she had always been that way and the harassment over her eyes her entire life had made it worse. Still, she would eventually reach out with her perfectly manicured little fingers and snatch up the gum, giving a little nod toward the girl. "Thank you."

Pursing her lips a bit before she would unwrap it and pop it into her mouth, chewing lightly. Though she did focus on the girl a bit more as she began to explain the whole Mary Poppins thing. Her brow furrowing a bit more as she looked at her as if to judge if she was serious. She didn't really understand the concept of showing children such a thing, and to be honest it sounded a bit silly. However, she lacked a real understanding of certain things, yet another trait she had inherited.

"Well that sounds...odd." Nodding a bit as she shrugged...noting that the girl had noticed her looking and grinning just slightly to herself. Did she stop her looking? Nope, she looked harder, letting her eyes linger here and there, tongue slowly tracing her lips in a rather appreciative manner. "I am Aryanna Katashi, though most call me Ary." Now noticing that the blond was looking her over in return. Well then, this was interesting and the first thing her mind thought was of course, that a game was about to be set into motion, and inside her demon purred with delight.

[taylore]

Taylor smiled at the girl and put the gum back in her pocket. Another excellent reason to steal from people. They had shit you didn't that would possibly get you extra face time with a hot girl.

"No problem."

When it came to the Mary Poppins topic, Tay had taken quite a long shot trying to explain it and she didn't really do that good of a job. She missed the whole point of the movie and the fact that the movie had morals in it. Either way, Tay noted that the girl still probably didn't understand the movie and that it would be a waist of both their time to try and go into it any more. It was just a stupid movie after all. Bonus was that during all of this, Tay got a name. More importantly... a last name too. Taylor wasn't keen on giving out her last name but that was more or less because she and Luke were in hiding so to speak.

"Ary, I like it. Specially with that accent you have. Very nice."

Taylor said smirking a bit. Both girls caught each other looking each other over, though Taylor didn't stop and it seemed neither did Ary. Taylor would reach up and push some of her dirty blond locks behind her ear.

"So, Ary... what brings you to the mall?"

Taylor asked with a bit of curiousness to her voice. Perhaps... if she was lucky the girl would say something like clothes shopping. Then Taylor could offer to help her find fitting clothes and the like. It would give Tay a reason to get close to the girl, not to mention probably see her in less then what she was wearing now. Though if Taylor wasn't careful her mind would stray to much more... specific thoughts and she would go back to being shy again. Right now she had to keep this, everything is cool attitude going for as long as she could.

[Aryanna Katashi]

It probably would not have helped to further explain the movie to Aryanna. She watched the damn things because everyone else did, but she honestly didn't understand them at all. Well, she understood them but she didn't really get what the emotional aspect of them was....at all. Little did she know that she was designed to be that way. Emotional attachments were bad and the fact that she had none were exactly what her creators wanted. None the less, it didn't mean she was incapable, just a lot harder to get there than a normal person.

Still, when the girl spoke of her name and her accent she would smile just a bit, giving a little bow of her head as if in appreciation. Not that she really did mind you, just that she had been trained to behave a certain way toward certain things, including compliments. Not to mention she found she was rather attracted to the girl, though she wasn't sure why. Oh sure, she flirted and teased poor little Margaret, but she had never really done anything with her, she just didn't want to. But yeah, this felt a bit different...not that she could place it just yet.

"Well thank you. It is not often people say they like my name. Usually they say it is to hard to say." She rolled her eyes slightly and would shift her foot out just slightly so that she could put her weight on the other, her hip jutting out just slightly while her hand continued to toy with that rosary.

"No real reason. I had thought of clothes shopping or perhaps looking for new rosary." Yes, she collected the damn things, had many various colors, shapes and designs, though the one she wore was by far her favorite. "You?" Curious to see what the girl was here for as well, not sure if she wanted to keep talking to her yet or not.

[taylore]

The girl bowed her head a bit at the compliment then spoke about how others had trouble saying her name. Taylor looked thoughtful for a moment, as if she were trying to see if she would have trouble saying it. Though she did have a Virginian accent which meant there was a very small southern drawl to her words, she could say Aryanna just fine. Perhaps some people just couldn't form their mouth properly. Luke once said cause of Taylor's acting ability she could very well act in different languages or what ever, she hadn't really been paying all that much attention to Luke at the time.

"Really? Well I suppose for some. I don't think I'd have much trouble calling out your name."

This brought a smirk to Taylor's lips. Though the sentence was harmless, it could have been construed as something else. Lord knows... Taylor may have meant it that way. Like has been said so many times before, Taylor was a lover not a fighter. Clothes shopping was mentioned and Taylor had to hold back a big smile. She would just nod her head very gently.

"I came to do a bit of clothes shopping. Don't want to start at a new school with some busted up worn out clothes. My big brother thought it would be good for me to get out of the house."

By house, she meant cardboard box in the abandoned subway tunnels, and by big brother she meant Luke who was only older than her by a week. Not to mention he wasn't even really related. Their parents never even married, or at least they hadn't when the kids were around. Taylor didn't know if they married after her and Luke left. She did think it was a bit odd that the girl would come to buy a rosary but Taylor wasn't particularly religious. Matter of fact, she didn't really care about religion. She wasn't atheist or anything... but she did have trouble believing in a higher power cause of how her life had turned out. She wouldn't say anything about it though. People were free to do as they wished. Right now, Taylor wished to keep her brain off of seeing Aryanna in her bra and panties, or worse... a little school girl's uniform.

Luke used to tease her about how dirty her mind could be. He'd probably be smirking and nudging her right now if he saw her talking to Aryanna. He was all for seeing his "sister" doing something with another girl. Though that was typical of males.

"Don't want to impose or anything... but maybe we could do some shopping together. Being new here... I haven't made friends with people yet. Clothes shopping does kinda need another gal's input."

[Aryanna Katashi]

Aryanna would shrug. She knew that people didn't have trouble saying her name, it was just something they said when she was younger to try and avoid having to act like they remembered her. If they fucked up her name because they forgot her, well they blamed it on not knowing her name. She didn't let it show that she knew though, not one damn time. She had learned early on that letting people see you sweat was the quickest way to letting them gain the upper hand on you, something Aryanna would not ever allow again. At least, not if she could help it. Though at the last statement concerning her name, she caught on quick enough to that hidden meaning. A little grin curling upon her lips as she purred back in response. "I know that I could easily cry out your name without much problem."

Oh, she was not shy and she was not very subtle at times. She was a flirt, and though she considered herself rather straight as far as sexuality went, she could not help but be a little curious. But then, that was natural right? She thought so. Though then the topic shifted once more and so did her mind, the mention of school getting a slight arch of her brow. "New school?" She wasn't sure if they would be going to the same school, though that could prove interesting. Or so she thought, her hand finally releasing that rosary as her arms folded across her chest.

"New clothes are usually a must for new school. At least I think so. Though there is never bad reason for new clothes." A light chuckle given as she would shake her head, a few dark strands falling across her eyes as she continued to watch the girl.

Yet when she suggested going with Ary to look at clothes the dark haired girl would purse her lips. Not sure how she felt about having another blond tag along with her anywhere, though deciding that this one was much less annoying than Margaret who was truly Cael's little play thing more than anything else. "Yes, I suppose that is okay. It is always good to have other girl to help with clothes." A little smile or well, more so a grin given as she would once more flick her tongue across her lips, allowing her eyes to take a slower look over the blond. Finding it rather enjoyable to do so.

[taylore]

Aryanna caught Taylor's hidden meaning and the wordplay back made the blond girl smirk a bit more. This might be seen as harmless flirting for some, but... Taylor rarely approached girls she liked. When she did, her harmless flirting often lead to other things. Often times, the girl would be straight. Luke used to say his little sister corrupted the girls in their neighborhood. She had her ways though she used them sparingly. Some liked the 'aw shucks' shyness the blond girl normally was, but others, like miss Aryanna here... probably preferred a more direct approach. This would indeed be fun.

"Mmhmm. My brother and I moved here less than three weeks ago and I'm going to that new school they opened up. Public High #8011 I think."

She shrugged. Taylor wondered if the girl went to the same school. If so... well that would make things even more interesting. Same school meant more interaction and who knows where more interaction might lead the two. Taylor smiled as Aryanna chuckled and she nodded a bit. The homeless blond girl really wasn't one who would go and buy new clothes all the time. Shopping wasn't one of her favorite past times but then again, that could be because she had lived in a small town and they weren't big on fashion. Hearing the girl agree and saying she didn't mind Taylor tagging along got a smile from the blond girl.

"Well then, where to first? I am pretty sure I saw a Victoria's Secret in here on the mall map."

Taylor smirked, that was a little cheeky wasn't it? The blond girl figured that if Ary played along earlier, who is to say she wouldn't keep playing. It might have been fun for Ary to have a girl eying her and flirting. Taylor knew most girls found it quite flattering, if they weren't completely shut off about girls dating girls. Taylor had run into her share of girls who treated her like garbage because she was flirty with them, it never brought her down though, she just shrugged them off. Though she had to admit, if only to her self... she was rather glad that Ary didn't brush her off. For a moment there she was certain the french girl would. It would have been pretty shitty start to being in a new city. The first girl you hit on you strike out with. By Luke's standards though... since the girl went along with it... it was a good omen. Maybe the duo's luck would change.

[Aryanna Katashi]

Aryanna was definitely not shy. She might not have willingly wanted to sleep with Cael but that had not stopped her from doing other things, and right now her little mind was racing with the implications of where this game could go. Because yes, this had turned into a game already and she would see it through to the very end. Yet when the girl said what school she was going to, that grin would only seem to increase upon Aryanna's lips as she would arch her brow slightly. "Oh? Well then it would seem we will be going to the same school then."

Yes, this was going to be interesting indeed. She could carry out this game at school and that would give her a lot more time to have fun and would provide her with a much needed distraction. A little mental note to look this girl up in school once they started back. Because lets face it, Aryanna loved playing games.

Then came the suggestion for a Victoria's Secret and oh how her mind did race. A little chuckle given as she would step forward just a bit and idly reach out and toy with a lock of that blond hair. "Hmm, you sure you just don't want to see me in my underwear?" Leaning in just a tiny bit more before she would once more grin, those eyes firing to life with amusement as she would pull back, releasing that strand of hair and then shrugging softly. "It is fine with me, I think I will enjoy view just as much." Purring the words softly. She was a horrible tease and she knew it, but hey, couldn't really blame her could you?

[taylore]

Taylor had to admit, that french accent was alluring and watching it drip from the lips of a very beautiful girl, well that was all the better. The blond girl blinked at Ary's words. They would be going to the same school? That was wonderful news! Well for Taylor it was. Ary saw this as a game, and it may very well have been, but Tay really only plays for keeps. Ary would step forward and lean a bit closely, her fingers playing with a lock of Taylor's messy blond hair. A smirk would cross Tay's lips.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't."

Taylor said as her tongue slid over the soft pink flesh of her bottom lip. Our little Tay was nothing if not honest. She would be lying if she had said she didn't want to see the girl in her underwear. Then again, right now... Taylor wanted to see the girl in a lot less than just her underwear. Naughty thoughts circled through Taylor's mind and she did her best to keep them from becoming too... descriptive. Though the girl's words about enjoying the view just as much, well now... Taylor couldn't pass that up.

"Really well then... what is keeping us here?"

Taylor would move a bit closer to the girl and smirk. She'd move to stand at the girl's side and in a fairly bold move for Taylor, slipped her arm around the girl's waist. With a gentle pull, Tay would bring the girl closer to her and smirk.

"It's the perfect girl's outing I'd say and a good way to make new friends."

Sure... that is what Taylor wanted. Friends. Luke had told her to get some, but it was doubtful he meant like this.

[Aryanna Katashi]

Aryanna was not sure why she was being such a flirt, but she knew that it had something to do with her new and improved "I don't care" attitude that had consumed her as of late. Still, when the girl openly admitted to being interested in seeing her in her underwear, Ary would just smirk and slowly trace her tongue along her lips. She could rather enjoy this day if it was headed where she thought it was headed...A little chuckle escaping her as she reached up with one hand and softly pushed her fingers into those silken locks of hers, allowing them to slowly run through her hair as she inched herself a bit closer to Taylor.

"I have always admired people who are so boldly honest." Again purring the words forth in that soft little French accent, grinning as she turned to make her way toward the store which they both had their minds dead set upon now. Another light chuckle given as the girl responded to her comment. "Do tell me if I am being too much of a flirt. I would hate to seem too bold." Okay, so that was a lie, but whatever, she was enjoying this little game of cat and mouse.

Though no sooner had they begun walking than she would feel that arm slip about her waist, a little arch of her brow given as she was stealthily tugged in against Taylor's side. No protest given to the action, but instead her little hand once more coming up and capturing a stay lock of blond hair that hung closely to her now. "Ah yes, a girl's outing. I have to admit I have not had many of these, though if this one is shaping up to be as interesting as it seems, I will have to make point of doing more often." Once more her broken English showing through, though she didn't really care at the moment, much more interested in her new "friend" and this little flirting match they had going.
