[ She arches an eyebrow. ]

Is that your way of saying you'd be jealous if he'd been doing rougher things with someone else?

[ Cute. ]

What kind of outfit are you looking for? Something to match that?

[acquirement]

{ there's no hesitation as he responds to that. }

I've very quickly learned I'm a rather possessive man, I won't deny that.

{ do you know how many marks thoma has had on his body skjgndsdg rip }

But no, likely not. I wouldn't want to overwhelm him, I'll save your choice for later. The outfit I want to find is one he's already aware of and agreed to: a maid outfit.

{ why does he look more proud than embarrassed about this? }

[glidinglight]

[ Okay, but now she has to laugh. ]

And did you have a thing for maid outfits before the fundraiser, or did that just awaken something in you?

[ Because.... because. ]

[acquirement]

{ lumine, please. }

Admittedly, I couldn't say for certain. Thoma's role does lend itself to it though. Besides, I wouldn't consider it a bad thing if the fundraiser was part of the reason it came to mind.

{ his eyes definitely dip for a moment, dragging down and back up her body before he looks back at the aisle. }

Though admittedly a certain someone I know did not have the temperament for it.

{ but is he just doing this to wind her up- }

[glidinglight]

[ She pauses, cocks her head to the side, and... smiles. ]

Funny, I don't remember you complaining about my temperament back then.... Maybe you just like your men sweet and your ladies sour.

[acquirement]

{ he smiles back at her for that. }

Perhaps so. Or are you just being hopeful?

[glidinglight]

What do you think?

[acquirement]

It's hard to say, you have complimented me on my looks before.

{ she can blame thoma for him bringing this up. do you know how many compliments he's had lately? it was only a matter of time he'd use it-

but at least he'll keep moving onto the outfits section to see if there is anything worthwhile or he'll have to pay a tailor. }

[glidinglight]

[ She can imagine. He is an attractive man! ]

What, am I supposed to pretend I'm blind?

[ She's looking through the apparel as well--but seeing as she keeps veering back and forth between men and women's sizing, it's hard to saywhat she might be looking for. ]

[acquirement]

No, I didn't say that. { but he does look a bit happy about it, smiling as he picks up something that may be a little too small, trying to work out if it would be possible to alter it. }

[glidinglight]

Then I should take that as a sign you don't mind.

[acquirement]

I would be a fool to be anything but flattered that a beautiful woman finds me attractive, Lumine.

{ he holds the item steady for a moment as he glances at her, then puts the item back, picking up another instead as though he hadn't just given out a big compliment. }

This one could work.

[glidinglight]

[ She's practically preening. ]

Oh, yeah? Let's see it.

[ She is of course referring to the item in his hand. But there's room for misunderstanding based on their conversation up until now. ]

[acquirement]

{ he'll hold it up against himself, pulling at the sides while looking down }

It at least has elastic so it should stretch out a bit more.

{ it is SHORT though }

[glidinglight]

[ She cocks her head to the side thoughtfully. ]

Is it for you to wear or Thoma?

[acquirement]

{ the question makes him pause. }

It was intended for Thoma, though I suppose if I can someone to tuck it in later I could try it as well.

[glidinglight]

Well, you know what they say; sharing is caring.

[ Thoma would probably appreciate being catered to at least every once and a while she imagines. ]

[acquirement]

{ he glances at her at that, before a smile forms on his lips. }

Very well, then. Should I also get a maid one for myself to wear or is there something else you think would suit me better?

[glidinglight]

Hmmm.

[ She pauses to think about this. She might be thinking about this too seriously. ]

Well, if it was may, I'd never not enjoy a partner dressed like a maid. But I'm also bossy. Maybe try feeling out how he feels about reversing the power dynamic in a smaller way first?

[acquirement]

{ a frown starts to form on his face at that. }

I imagine it isn't something he'll find easy. { he clears his throat. } Whenever I've wanted him to take more charge I've had to find a way for his patience to snap so he'll actually do anything he wants without asking me for permission every moment.

{ he doesn't meet her eyes as he says this. }

[glidinglight]

In that case...

[ She starts looking through the racks intently, moving hangers aside with great speed until she finds something that might work. She pulls out a plastic bag filled with black material. It's difficult to make out what it's supposed to be--or would be, if not for the little cardstock picture stapled to it depicting a pleather, skin-tight thief's suit complete with knee high bitch boots. ]

Maybe a persona that needs punishing.

[acquirement]

{ an eyebrow raises as he looks at the picture on the card inside the packaging. }

As much as I wouldn't say no to wearing that, I'm afraid at this point it may do more harm than good.

[glidinglight]

[ He definitely would know best, so she doesn't question it (although the way it's phrased she is intensely curious--but that feels like it would cross a line). So she just slides the package back in place. ]

What do you think he'd enjoy then? Maybe a sensual massage?

[acquirement]

{ he doesn't want him to run away from being pushed into a role he isn't ready for... but lumine's next suggestion has him turning to her looking delighted. }

Of course, that would be much more fitting I think. Are there special oils for it?

[glidinglight]

Oh, yeah, all kinds! Some of them make you cold and tingly, others make you feel warm all over, all different kinds of smells... I think some of them even have this thing called "CBD" in them? Which is supposed to help things like minor pains, anxiety, stress--those sorts of things.
