Merlin was curious. He had never had a sibling before, not truly. Being the son of a Duke of Hell and a mortal woman tended to make that not likely. But here he was, going to meet with a young woman, one who claimed, convincingly, to be his sister.

She had replaced a spitfire of a young girl, and he has used the few minutes he had to search for every ounce of information on her, and had downloaded it all to hardcopy, with pictures and files, so she could know more of her new life... if she chose to live that one.

He strode into the coffee shop and took up a table, watching for her. He was glad most people had no idea who he was, and enhanced that with a spell that would keep anyone not his friend, or not looking specifically for him, from finding him. Magic was useful, especially here and now. He ordered a real menu from the waiter, which brought some blinking, and settled back to wait.

	Ganieda blushed but nodded. "All right," she said softly, and followed where she led her. This was most strange and she desperately hoped that whatever undergarments they had for her were more comfortable than the one she was wearing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Merlin led her to a dressing room, and, explaining, undressed, slipping out of her garments, then showing her how the measurements were done, measuring herself by sheer dexterity and bendiness.

Then she nodded to Ganieda.

"It's up to you whether you do your measurements, or let me."

She did not want to press the other woman. Nor make her too uncomfortable, new life to learn or not.

She dressed as she waited for an answer.

	She blushed again. "I think I'll do it. If you don't mind," she said quietly. There were limits, after all. No matter what was on this Internet thing, she was still Ganieda. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin nodded. "Not a problem. I will be outside." She stepped out, smiling as she leaned on the wall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ganieda stripped and carefully measured herself. And then she caught sight of herself in the full length mirror. They didn't have mirrors that large in her time, and she'd never seen herself this way. She tilted her head, and turned this way and that. But presently, she dressed and came out and told Merlin her measurements. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merlin smiled, and noted them, then led the way to the underwear racks, and slowly picked out several bras that were comfortable kinds, from experience, and panties as well. She chose both normal panties and some more fancy and colorful ones. "Just so you have a choice." Then it was onward toward the rest of the clothing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There seemed to be an awful lot one had to deal with in the way of clothing in this more modern time and world.

Ganieda tended to choose clothing that was all-encompassing, but Merlin guided her towards pieces that were more flattering, fit better, and didn't make her look like a cleric.

By the end of the trip, even Ganieda had to admit that one could dress becomingly and also modestly in this world.

"It will be a great relief that I may dress and blend in," she said. It was really a weight off of her mind, moreso than she had initially thought.

	She smiled softly. "Good, and I am glad you feel so. Sometimes people arrive here and decide not to like it, or cannot deal with it." She nodded. "Now I think tis time for a treat. Did you ever have lambsteak back home?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I have to admit that I was not so sure I would be able to deal with it a few hours ago." But a problem shared is most definitely a problem halved sometimes.

Though there was still the worry about tomorrow, of course. What will happen to her, where will she go? She doesn't know that Genevieve has school tomorrow.

"I have, upon occasion. It is a most delicious meal."

	"I know a place that makes a full meal, and serves cheesecake afterward, and that? You will have to taste to believe..." She winked, and led the way toward a door. "It's right this way..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled and followed. "There are...there are so many places to go in this world, aren't there?" She's got no true concept of how large the world actually is, never having seen a map or traveled far from home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Merlin nodded.

"Aye, there are, and with magic, and the powers of this world, you can see many of them. Your life is just beginning, sister."

She smiled and led the way out of the store and into a large building, where there were shops on every side. It was a mall of course, and Merlin was careful to steer Ganieda carefully away from the people who might annoy or offend her, for now, anyway.

Soon, they would come to the restaurant.

	She appreciated the steering because she was unable to stop looking at everything. Past her fear, now curiosity was taking over. She's never seen anything like this, not even on market days. "There is just so much of everything," she murmured. It was overwhelming but also exciting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
