calliope sedant, demon crowley

Who: Calliope and Crowley.
What: Shopping leading to first impressions.
When: Sunday afternoon.
Where: Chanel boutique.

Now that Calliope's old boss Catherine had shown up, Calliope was excited. She didn't mind wearing the sort of things that were necessary to be a bouncer in Erik's bar - corsets and oodles of vinyl - but she did also like dressing a bit more professionally.

As such, she'd gone to a Chanel boutique to get fitted for a few suits - having them take the skirts up a bit to show a bit more leg than normal. She knew how men looked at her, and she always used it. Even if she wasn't a bouncer for Catherine, she was an enforcer, a cleaner of trash, and she took every advantage she could.

	Crowley wasn't a shopper by nature, but he'd only just started rebuilding his collection of neckties, since he was fond of them, and he'd finished his business for the day and had decided to stop into the boutique just to see what was available. (Reply to this)

	Six inch heels lent her some height over the man who had just walked in. She paid little notice to him and continued trying on handbags, seeing how they fit on her shoulder. Her hair was up in a bun, held back with pewter combs. She did, however, notice when he started to pick out neckties. "You look good in purple," she smiled. (Reply to this)

	His brow quirked at the voice, blinking over at her before he smiled, just faintly, "You've got a good eye." He'd actually been looking for purple, it wasn't necessarily his favorite, because he didn't have favorites, but he did quite like it. (Reply to this)

"Well, thank you," she smiled, a bit of her native accent slipping out. She usually only allowed it to surface when she was very at ease, or trying to build a rapport. She'd been brought up in Georgia, but Revolutionary era Georgia. If anything, her voice was a bit of posh London tempered with quite a bit of time in New York. "You've lovely eyes, and it'll go with your complexion."

The attendant called her name, and Calliope held a hand to the newcomer, disappearing behind a curtain to try on her newly tailored skirt and jacket.

	He chuckled softly at the compliment, shaking his head, about to answer when she was called away. He just gave a nod, sifting through the ties once more, coming up with three purple ones, all different shades and patterns. (Reply to this)

	Calliope emerged in a short pinstripe skirt with red stripes instead of white, a pale red shirt, and a jacket to match her skirt. She examined herself in a full length mirror before turning to Crowley. "Allegedly, gay men have better taste. What do you think?" (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 06:06 am UTC (link)
	There was a browquirk at that statement, but he shrugged it off, it hadn't ever bothered him before, he wasn't about to start being bothered by it now. He tilted his head, looking her over critically, "You know your own assets, which is more than I can say for most." (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 06:10 am UTC (link)
	She smirked at him. "Please, sweetheart, you're willingly in a Chanel shop. You're either that or a personal assistant, and your shoes are way too nice to be the latter." She turned a bit in the mirror, pushing her boobs up a bit. "Mmm, with a different bra, this will work." Turning back to the man, she smiled. "Calliope. What's your name?" (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 06:20 am UTC (link)
	He chuckled at her assessment, shaking his head, "One of these days I'll learn to stop being so obvious. And it's Alexander." It was his favorite alias to give, since it was who most people thought of when they heard the name Crowley anyway. (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 06:23 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, it's fine, you look fabulous." She picked out a few more suits, handing them over to the clerk to tailor for her. "I'll be back to get those tomorrow," she winked at the girl. Turning her attentions back to Alexander, she leaned against him playfully. "Mm, dark blue as well." (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 06:25 am UTC (link)
	"I usually lean towards the cobalts." He said, shrugging once more and trading one of the three he was unsure about for a deep blue with an almost gunmetal shift to it, "Some variety is nice." (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 06:28 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, that's gorgeous." She smiled and picked out another one just like it for herself. She figured she might wear one just to make her boss laugh. (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 06:30 am UTC (link)
	"Used to have a green-to-silver like it. Not entirely sure what happened to that one." He shook his head, "Suppose it didn't make the trip through the vortex." (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 06:32 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, I miss most of what didn't make it through the vortex. It's so sad." She had left behind a treasure trove of antique torture devices. (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 06:39 am UTC (link)
	He drummed his fingers on the countertop for a moment, finally shrugging, "You've been right so far. And four is more than enough for one trip, what do I need to round this out?" (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 06:48 am UTC (link)
	"Socks. You've got gorgeous shoes, socks should match. And men always fall into the charcoal grey trap. Let's go with blue." She moved to find some dark blue ones in a pile of perfect cashmere. (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 06:58 am UTC (link)
	He chuckled at that, shaking his head, "To be honest I don't usually think of them much." And he didn't, they were either black or off-black and that was it. (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 07:00 am UTC (link)
	She handed him a few pairs, grinning. "Most don't." She leaned against the counter, smiling. "Do you eat? There's a pub near here." (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 07:06 am UTC (link)
	"Surprisingly enough, I do. Someone's got to keep the suit fed." He liked saying that to people, because none of them ever got it. (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 07:08 am UTC (link)
	"Demon, eh?" She shrugged a shoulder, coyly biting her lower lip. "I might drink something with you, but I stopped liking food years ago." She shook her head, nodding at the counter so Crowley could pay. It was probably cheating that she knew what he was, considering how close she was with Mephistopheles. (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 07:12 am UTC (link)
	"You're quite clever." He said, making his purchase and giving the shopgirl a smile before turning back to Calliope, "Or you know one of us." He continued, offering an arm. (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 07:14 am UTC (link)
	She took the arm, giggling and swinging the bag that held the clothes she'd been wearing before she got into the shop. "Oh, both." She figured she'd have some wine at the bar, maybe a glass of whatever he had. (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 07:17 am UTC (link)
	"Well that's just cheating, isn't it, pet?" He was amused all the same, however. He knew right where the pub was, it was one of his favorite places after all. (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 07:19 am UTC (link)
	"Normally people say me having this rack and being smart is cheating, but the smarts were hard-won. I'm keeping them." She smiled as they entered the pub, squeezing his arm. "I'll have what you're having." (Reply to this)

	kingofthexroads 2010-07-26 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged, leading her to a table, it was easy to convince everyone around them that they'd been there all along, it was an old habit, "It's only cheating if they both come naturally." (Reply to this)

	the_redlady 2010-07-26 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course they both do." She grinned, hip bumping him gently before settling down at the table. Drumming perfectly manicured red nails on the table, she looked around. (Reply to this)
