It was then that Aqua realized the little girl wasn't a creature at all. Just a lost little human. So she knelt down and smiled her best. "That's a secret... But our secret, okay? Can you do that for me Riley? Keep that a secret between you and me?" she asked. It was an automatic habit to help people. She just hoped Riley didn't try to out her. Aqua shrugged off her own jacket and draped it over Riley's shoulders. "This will do until we get you something a little better." she said but she took Riley's hand and led her towards the shops.

As she still looks up at her, she was still pretty shocked of what she did, that looked pretty magical, and she even thought that the spell worked on her pretty quickly. She then saw her bending towards her and listens to her, as she revealed that it was some sort of secret. "Got it. I'll keep it between us, Aqua. Promise." She whispers into her ear, and nods. She then felt the chilly air again and then felt her jacket going on top of her, which felt pretty warm. She puts it on and starts to follow her to the shops. "I don't have any money to pay for clothing. If you want, I can try to get money to pay you back for this..." She said, and makes the jacket get close to her skin. She then saw the shops and was shocked by the prices of the jackets. "Wow, this area is sure is expensive..." She comments, as she saw the good quality of the clothing. She did not expect the jackets to be his high in price compared to some of the stores her mother used to take her too, which were cheaper than these.

"Thank you, Riley. Your discretion means a lot." Aqua said. Once they got into the store she led Riley to the jackets. She frowned when Riley said the jackets were too expensive. "Don't you worry about the cost. I've got this." she said. She picked up a jacket and held it out to Riley. No. Not that one. Too short. She reached for a second. "You do not have to pay me back. I'm doing this because I want to." Or really because she was a faery and was obligated to do nice thing for good people. A child all but forsaken by her parents fit that criteria. "And maybe we can find you some other clothes too..."

She looked up at her and nods. "Oh, no problem. I am good at keeping secrets, and your secret is safe with me." She responds, and continues to follow her into the shopping area. She follows her into a store, and boy, these clothes were expensive, and she thought that the young woman was nice to buy something for her. "Oh, you're buying it? Thank you very much." She said, with a small little grin. She then saw her picking out some jackets for her to try on and thought that a lot of them looked pretty nice compared to her old ones she had back at home. She then saw her choices and they both looked warm to her. She then heard her mentioning that she did not have to pay back since she wants to help her, which was generous. "Ok then, thank you very much." She said, and looked at the rest of the jackets. "I think I'm a size medium." She said, and looked at her shirt size. "Yup, size twelve/medium." She said, and started to follow her into the rest of the clothing section. "Hm, new clothes could be nice too. Thank you very much for this." She thanked her again and looked around. "Hey, Aqua. What colors would look good on me?" She asked, as saw a variety of colors. She would wear blue or green, but, she would experiment with different coloring.

Aqua smiled wearily. "It's whatever you want." Aqua said. "As long as you have warm clothes for when things get a little chillier." She was still upset that the girl's parents hadn't demanded that Riley come home, that they didn't seem to care that a vulnerable child was out and alone in the world. She held onto a jacket that she found that would fit Riley. "Just give me the clothes you want and you can try them on to make sure they fit."

When she heard the young lady respond saying that she can get anything she wanted from the store, her smile started to grow a little bright. "I guess any color will have to do." She said, and started to go to the other clothing section and there was a lot of choices that she had to go through. It seemed that Fall is coming around soon and thought that it could be suitable to start looking for some clothing for the season. She wondered if her parents would not mind if another lady older than her would help her with her wardrobe. She did miss her parents, but, at the same time, was still feeing that same anger that they did not listen to their own daughter. She then found some sweatshirts and with some butterflies and some rainbow colored jeans that she never saw before; she raised up an eyebrow as she thought that the coloring was getting more vibrant. She even found some boots that were overly expensive. "Whoa.." She thought to herself as she was shocked of the price. It would make sense if the price would be expensive, especially when starting to sell winter clothing a little early. She then walked over to the young woman with some sweaters, sweatshirts, and some long sleeved shirts. She was not sure about buying the boots. After finding the clothing, she walked over to the young woman and saw the jacket. "Oh wow, thanks!" She said, and hands her the clothing. "Sorry, if its too much for you carry, Aqua." She said, with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

"I'm stronger than I look." Aqua said with a light smile. She folded the clothes and held onto them as Riley found the things she wanted.

She did give her a nod and she saw her muscles and from the way she was carrying the clothes, made her point clearly. "Wow, I can tell." She said, and starts to take some sweatshirts and goes into the dressing room. This was going to be a long day of shopping for winter clothing and of course, fall clothing. Although these clothes were expensive, it was nice to have her help her earn the clothing that her mother should have bought her instead of worrying about a new place to move. She came out with the first outfit which was a blue sweatshirt with a pair of sweatpants. "Well, does this look fine on me? Or does it make me look bigger than I already am?" She asked, and waited for her opinion. "It does make me feel warm...but, I'm not sure about wearing this...perhaps I should wear it to bed.." She rambled some of her thoughts.

Aqua guided Riley's hands out towards her and then up. Since the shirt didn't rise up or show her forearms it was fine. "Lift your knees dear. If your ankles show they're too short." Aqua coaxed.

As she felt her hand being taken by the young lady, she looked up at her with a small smile and walked next to her out of the dressing room, and even thought that the sweatpants and the sweatshirt felt somewhat comfortable. "Whoa, these pants did feel extra comfy than what I expected." She comments, with a chuckle and felt the sweatshirt being comfortable as well. She thought Aqua was smart to take her to a store where they had clothing like this and even had good quality clothing. As she heard the young woman asking her to lift her legs, she did that to make sure that the pants were not too short. "Ok, what do you think of these? Too short? Should I get them in a different size?" She asked, hoping that these pants were fine as they are. There was other pants to try on, so, these could not be the only pants in the store.

"They're fine," Aqua soothed. "You just have to be comfortable in what clothes you get. This is about what feels right to you." She stepped back and passed over the next outfit for Riley to try on.

When Riley heard the young woman's opinion of the outfit looking fine on her, she looked up at her and nods. "Perfect. I'm glad that this outfit feels fine; I mean, the pants and the sweatshirt feel the most comfortable. I feel like I could stay warm in this." She comments, and takes the next outfit to try on. The next outfit is a green sweatshirt with another pair of sweatpants that was a little longer from the other one she tried on. After trying them on, the blonde haired young woman walked out to show her. "Well, what do you think of this one?" She asks, and waits for her opinion again. She then lifts up her knees again to make sure if these sweatpants were too long or too short for her.

"Well do you like it?" Aqua asked. "Is it warm? Will you wear it?" She smiled a little uncertainly.

When trying on the clothing, they did seem warm enough and she did feel pretty satisfied in them. She could at least wear them outside whenever it gets cold out and while the chilly wind gets upon her body; she could wear it any day, and any time. She did feel a little too warm at first when trying it on, but, realized that her own mother did not buy her clothing like that in the first place so, wearing these clothing could be her choice. "I do like it and it is warm enough for me to wear whenever it does get cold out. I could wear this outfit." She said, and quickly, goes back to the young woman to try on the next outfit. The next outfit included another butterfly hoodie and purple sweatpants, and even fuzzy socks that were the most comfortable. She would wear the socks to bed whenever the room gets cold; it included a little poof-ball hat that would go good with the outfit; the best part about the hat was that it was pink. She was not used to wearing pink, but, experimenting with different colors is not going to hurt at all. "I like this one the most. What do you think?" She asked, with a sheepish smile. "Do I look good in pink or do you like me better in blues and greens?" She asked, as she waited for Aqua's opinion again.

"It's not about what colors I like, Riley. Do you like it? They're your clothes." Aqua said. "Get what clothes you like." Her personal tastes were blues and purples, but she knew that not everyone liked those colors. Riley was young. She was allowed to experiment with what she liked and disliked.
