Lily didn’t mind working full time at the clothes shop, especially when it came with this kind of reward. She had never really been spoiled as a child, she had been told she had to work to be able to get some sort of treat be it at school or at home whenever she was there. Granted her parents liked to treat her well since she was away most of the year, but never life a Princess or anything. She understood the need to work to be able to get things you liked and in the end it just made the spending more exciting.

After looking at how much she’d have to put by so she could get food for the flat, she managed to find enough to treat herself to some things. She wasn’t sure what yet, after all she didn’t necessarily need anything. It was more just enjoyment, something to relax with and just enable her to be able to buy something new.

And honestly, what girl doesn’t enjoy shopping?

"It wasn't so bad. I was was married to Sam Winchester. You know him?" Lexi asked, flexing her ankles as she admired the boots, her legs stuck out in front of her. They were really nice, and why shouldn't she splurge a little on herself?

Biting her bottom lip, she glanced at the employee then back at the boots. If it weren't for the fact that Lily was right there, she definitly would have compelled the man to give them to her, but today she felt like abiding by the law and really, now that she had money, it was burning a hole in her pocket. Putting the boots back in the box, Lexi headed up to the counter.

	"I've not spoken a lot to him, but I've seen him on the network." Lily watched Lexi decide, crossing her arms over her chest. Once the decision was made, Lily followed her to the counter for her to pay the amount for the boots. She wasn't so sure where they could go next, but she was sure they would find somewhere.

Reaching the counter, it occured to her that even had Lily not been there, she still wouldn't have been able to compell the man, because she was currently human and chances were, she would have only recieved a strange look from him in return.

Paying for the boots, Lexi turned towards the door, "Was there anywhere in particular you were going? Or were you just window shopping till something caught your attention?" Such as the boots that were in the bag Lexi was now carrying.

"Oh I was just wondering until I see something. Not much I'm needing, really."

Even if she wasn't wanting anything it wouldn't stop her buying on impulse. Sometimes the best purchases were made on impulse after all and she would find something to buy. Eventually. Not that she expected Lexi to follow her everywhere, if she was getting bored she was more than welcome to go, she wouldn't feel bad.

	"Well, if you don't mind me tagging along, I'd love to wander with you. It's always more fun shopping with someone else." Of course if Lily wanted to go it alone, Lexi would understand and leave her to it. After all, it wasn't like they even really knew each other, but Lexi wanted to try and make some friends here and what better way to do that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course I don't mind. It's nice to shop with someone, have opinions that don't belong to the girl wanting you to buy it so she can get more money." It was true. Too often had she bought something she probably wouldn't wear more than once because a shop assistant said it was perfect for her and perfect for a lot of occasions.

	"Well then, shall we wander until something catches our eye?" Lexi asked as they began walking down the street, "So, when and where are you from?" Lexi found it facsinating that people here were from different times and places and was quite curious about everything this city had to offer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sure," she agreed, shoving her hands in her pockets as they left the shop and started to walk down the street. She kept glancing into shop windows, getting use to what there were and what they sold. Lexi's question caught her by surprise but it was an understandable question to ask. "1976. And I was at school in Scotland, but I'm from England. Near Mill Town. You?"

"Wow. 1976? Really? That's pretty cool. I liked the seventies. Bell bottoms and flower power." Lexi grinned, glancing at Lily, "I was in Virginia before I came here. 2009 to be exact." Hoping that since this place was quite strange, Lily wouldn't find it the least bit strange that Lexi was from the present, more or less, but had been alive in the seventies as well.

	"Perhaps not the greatest of fashions, now I've seen this place. I really prefer the clothes now if I'm perfectly honest." Lily was confused for a moment by what she said, but it soon made sense. Nothing was normal here, so there was no reason why that wasn't possible. So she simply gave her a smile. "Sounds lovely. I've never been there." (Reply to this) (Parent)
